Up first and the morning 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.280 before practice gets started, we have Brian Flores, the Dolphin's 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.120 head coach, and his Monday morning media availability. Let's go 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.560 ahead and play the hits from coaches presser and up. First, 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.120 of course, coach was asked what's he looking for in 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:29.239 this first padded practice of training camp. Good communication, good execution, 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:35.840 good fundamentals with their their at their specific position, just 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.000 from a footwork a uh, you know, ball placement, accuracy, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.680 those types of things. So, um, they're still in that 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:47.680 early stages just since a new offense execute you know, 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.360 um at a at a good clip you know, early 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.320 on and you hear a coach that referred to the 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.720 ball placement and the footwork of those quarterbacks and how 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.360 they communicate with their teammates. We heard that all last year, right, 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.200 how do you guys communicate with the huddle and just 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.480 really developing that huddle etiquette that coach talked about last 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.080 year at length, same thing applies this year. Up next, 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.880 coach was asked about the availability of rookie quarterback to 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.640 ah Tongua Bloa. Well, we'll take it one day at 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.440 a time. He'll be out there today, you know, along 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.240 with the rest of the quarterbacks, and um, the majority 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.200 of the players aren't on the team. UM, but yeah, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:25.160 he's been he's looked he's looked healthy and he's in 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.880 uh in the O T A and the walk through 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.000 type practices. This will be the first one in PAD. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.959 So he's looked healthy and we'll just you know, we 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.280 we take these this we're taking this one day at 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.000 a time, two as we all with with every player, uh, 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.960 you know, hoping that he improves on a daily basis. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.040 But you know, like any rookie, he needs the snaps 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.600 and he needs the reps too to improve and get 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.920 better and give himself a chance. And then I was 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:52.880 up next, and I wanted to ask coach about these 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.800 roster moves they've made, primarily in the defensive backfill the 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.360 last couple of weeks. And Coach talks about playing the 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.360 hand you were dealt, dealing with the circumtan answers that 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.160 you have in front of you, and just controlling what 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.040 you can control. So I was curious to get his 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.480 take if this time of year, in the strange season 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.240 provide an advantage from bringing in multiple players to get 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.800 a better look at Hey, coach, good morning. I wanted 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.600 to ask you about something you've talked about a few 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.560 times with playing the hand you've been dealt, as well 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.839 as mentioning your personal activity when it comes to scouting 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.000 what's available out there. My question is, does this new 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.520 season with expanded rosters and practice squad provide you any 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.719 sort of maybe advantage for you to get more guys 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.920 in to take a look at. I don't know if 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.480 it provides us an opportunity to look at more guys, 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.560 I would say, if anything, you know, it's it's harder 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.480 to look at uh, you know, to get workouts in. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.039 I mean there's there's protocols in place to to to 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.919 do them, but um, it's not as seamless and easy 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.320 as a I want to plan and get here there. 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.080 There's a process that I go that that that players 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.560 have to go through the workout now. So, um, you know, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.960 look we have limited time. Um so, UM, as far 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.840 as you know, we have gotten some guys in and 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.600 you know we'll continue to do that. Uh but quite 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.480 quite honestly, Chris and Brandon and Marvin, those guys handled 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.680 uh you know, the lines share those things. Obviously I 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:14.400 play a role in that as well. But um, you know, logistically, UM, 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.760 it's not easy to to to to put together workouts 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:22.280 as it were a year ago. Um. So from that standpoint, 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.320 there is a little bit more difficult. But um, you know, 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.000 I think you know, up to this point, we've we've 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.479 we've made some some roster moves and uh, I think 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.159 we'll continue to do that. And you know, again, like 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.160 you said, and I've said, you know, we're going to 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.080 play the hand that we've been dealting. You know, I 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.320 think we're just trying to proceed on the day to 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.919 day basis as best we can given the circumstances. And 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.480 if you ask me, we get a more jovial version 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.520 of Coach Flores on these days where we have actual 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.080 football because this dude just loves football. We learned that 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.120 last year. We know about that and his character and 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.280 his background, what he wants and his players. And here 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.919 you're gonna hear him talk about the offensive line, the 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.719 importance of getting together and building that chemistry and jelling. 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.520 Listen to coach talk about some football here on padded 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.040 practice Monday. Well, obviously we've got a lot of young 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:15.080 guys in that group, um, with a couple of with 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.000 some veteran players sprinkled in, you know, like Ted Carras, 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.480 like Eric Flowers who just got back, like Jesse Davis. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.200 You know, Deter was here a year ago. We've got 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.320 the you know, a few of the young guys as well. Um, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:32.320 so look, I mean it's there's a lot of chemistry 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.720 that has to be built there. I think that's coming along, 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.680 could be better. You know, we're working on a few 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:43.599 different combinations. Uh. Well look at the only old line. 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:45.880 You can't really you don't know what you have until 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.040 you put the pads on. And um, you know you 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.400 you're you're literally fighting pressure with pressure against another another 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:56.680 body and working at double teams, working the combinations. Um 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.000 in the run game, Uh, feeling the speed and speed 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.760 rush and power rush and bull rushes, be the power 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.479 and you know, converting the power feeling those things. Uh, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.000 you know, you don't you don't know what you're having 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:13.120 to you. You're they're putting that that setting which starts today. Um, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:18.320 but you know from a walkthrough and non padded standpoint, Um, 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:22.360 I think they're coming along. Uh but obviously these No. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.440 Fourteen padded practices. We'll tell us a lot about that group. 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.920 I'm really the entire to you. It just here's good 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.600 to hear Brian Flora is talking about actual football terms, 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.240 offensive line technique, different pass rushes that sort of thing up. Next, 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.080 coach was asked about the preparation for this team and 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:39.880 if they are ready to head into camp right now 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.920 in this abbreviated offseason. Um, I mean, Ruth, we were 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.240 have no choice but to be ready. So we're going 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.680 out there today. They're not ready, then there's gonna be 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.880 some problems. But I think we are. I think the 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:56.080 guys are there raring to go, they're excited. But you know, 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.520 I think you put the pads on. Uh. You know, 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.480 the one thing I tried to stretch to them as 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.000 to focus on the technique and the fundamentals, because once 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.679 you put pads on, you know, the adrenaline gets going, 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.960 and Uh, in some instances, guys forget about those techniques 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.480 and fundamentals that we've been trying to build into them 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.960 for the last how many days it's been, but you 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:22.280 know it's called twenty days. So UM, that's kind of 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.360 the focus. That's where I want them to put their focus. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.360 Let's let's focus on the technique and the fundamentals, the 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:32.040 same techniques that we've been talking about, except we're in pads. Um, 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.480 they have more protection and we're gonna let him go 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.920 a little bit more today. Hearing him say they're going 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.000 let the players go a little bit more today. That 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.680 gets the juices flowing for sure. Up next to question 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.240 about Mica Sicky and his continued growth and building off 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.200 last year's success at the end of the year and 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.679 bringing it in to your number three for tight end, 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.880 Mike Sick, I'm just you know, my goal for Mike 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:56.520 is to is to improve today. Um, he's looked, he's 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.000 looked good, you know, in this early part of training camp. 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.160 Once we put the path it's on, you know, blocking 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:07.400 path protection, obviously getting into this route, route techniques, dealing 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:12.600 with dbs who UM trying to work in his releases 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.760 against dbs who are trying to get their hands on them. Uh, 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.600 you know all those things. You know, when you haven't 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.840 done them for how long has they've been? Eight mine 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.520 months and you're out of that practice, you need to 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.400 get back into it, you know, just jump back in 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.120 and you know your where you were a year ago. 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.480 That doesn't you know, that's that doesn't that doesn't happen 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.120 for any of US coaches players. So we all need 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.880 to to get out there and practice. Like I've said 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.360 to these guys last year, was last year and nobody 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.760 released worried about it. Um, let's just focus on you 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.640 know right now, and uh, you know, to think that 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.600 you're gonna be right where you were at the end 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.719 of last year, I think that's just not the case, um, 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.000 especially you know, not happening with this being the first 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.559 day and pad, so you gotta work to get back 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.000 to that point. Um. It doesn't just happen overnight. We've 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.320 gotta work for it. Um. And that's kind of been 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.120 my message stand and we have heard at length now 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.920 about the relationship between Ryan Fitzpatrick and to a tongue 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.640 of Byloa as well as Josh Rosen in that quarterback room, 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.400 how things have developed there. The next question posed to 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.920 coach Flora's was about that relationship between two and Fitzpatrick 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.360 and if that kind of permeates in the locker room 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.200 with the rest of the guys, and how that creates 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:28.120 competition and an environment here at Dolphins camp. Well, I 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.640 mean that dynamic. I'm seeing it across all positions. We've 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.319 got a lot of good guys on this team, and UM, 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.760 I can see the kind of some friendships and bonds 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.640 building and that only helps on the field. From a 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.720 communication standpoint, from even on asking for help standpoint. You know, 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.880 there's some instances and where you can sit and you know, 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.079 offense comes out and something that you're uncertain about it, 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:52.559 you can ask the guy next to you, Hey, what 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.040 do you what do you what do you think? And 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.720 you help each other get it get lined up, samething offensively. 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.920 Same thing in the kidney game. Uh so I think, 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.120 uh to and fits and you know Rosen as well. Um, 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:09.360 I think they're there, you know, those relationships that are building. Um, 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:13.040 it's just one example of you know, hopefully, uh, you 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.240 know what we're getting from. Uh the majority of the 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.440 of the guys in the locker room. Up next, coach 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.160 addresses the Adrian cold but released from over the weekend 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.840 and talks about the difficulties of letting go players and 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.400 how it's never easy in this business, you know, Adam, 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.120 I mean, those are tough decisions. Uh. You know, Chris, myself, 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.760 Marvin Brandon, we we have I hadn't had long conversations 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.199 about every player that will release. They're not easy, Um, 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.520 but we we you know, at the end of the day, 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:44.640 we always try to do what we feel is best 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.800 for the team. Obviously those those conversations are internal. I'm 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.520 not gonna go into specifics of it is that or 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.439 the other thing, but we're just at the end of 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:54.960 the day, we just felt it was the best the 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.680 best move for us UM going forward. And one more 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.079 question here will end up with Arrest talking about new 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.920 Dolphins linebacker addition over the offseason, Kyle van Noy, his 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.800 relationship with Kyle and Kyle blending into the rest of 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.040 the locker room and the defense there and developing those 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.840 relationships with the guys that we're here previously and all 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.600 the newcomers here as well. Well. Um, you know Kyle 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:22.559 obviously I coached him, Um, you know in New England. UM. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.520 I think he's he's very smart. Um, you can play 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:31.760 multiple positions. He's got leadership ability. UM. I think he's 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.640 gonna help us in a in a variety of ways. 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.880 You know. To me, the one thing from a communications standpoint, 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:42.280 the leadership standpoint, UM, I see him uh Ash just 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.160 kind of similar to kind of what Cam said about 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.560 two and fits. You know, his relationship with Bobby and 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.040 Gotcha and Baker. You can see that starting to grow. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.160 So UM, you know, if we can get you know, 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.360 as much of that on the team as possible. Um, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.680 that's what we're looking for. You know. Obviously he and 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.840 I have a good relationship up and down at times, 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.240 and he'll tell you, but you know, I think the 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:11.439 world of Kyle and I had a great family and UM, 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.720 you know, I'm I looking I'm looking forward to to 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.040 work with him this year. And so there you have 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.600 a coach on the morning of practice, the first day 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.520 of practice in the books, and we just got done 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.560 talking to coach as well as the players that were 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.079 available for media. Let's go ahead and talk about these 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.559 practice notes here though, because it did happen in a flurry. 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.480 It was physical, it was fast, it was aggressive. They 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.720 got a lot of work done. They bounced around from 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.960 drill to drill so quickly. They get in and out 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.360 of everything super fast. And that was the same story 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.360 last year. So probably a Brian floor drive an idea there. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.480 They bounced from these individuals, fundamental drills, team periods, get 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.920 tons of work done in that ninety year so minute 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.360 session they had. I've been debating on how to do 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.400 this podcast for my format standpoint, and we'll adjust as 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.280 we need to as the days go along. Here on 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.720 the Drivetime podcast. Let's go ahead and just knock this 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.360 thing out in bullet points. Does that sound good? And 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.640 it always start with a specialists doing their thing, and 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.600 Matt Hawk was out there automatic on dropping punts on 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.200 the five yard line. It was like watching Phil Nicholson 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.600 with his irons out there just putting the football wherever 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.520 he wanted to. Ryan Fitzpatrick comes out onto the field first. 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.640 That was a fun theme to track last year, and 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.600 the story was the same on Monday. The quarterbacks come 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.240 out and work on some quarterbacks center exchange stuff. It's 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.440 all pretty common and pretty boiler play. Special teams punt covering, 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.360 so a lot of the dbs out there getting work 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.520 on that. Both Cavon Fraser and Brandon Jones both had 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.320 really nice work down around the goal line, stopping punch 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.520 before they did cross over the goal line. And if 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.320 you didn't stop the ball from going over the goal line. 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.400 Danny Crossman, the Dolphins special teams coach, he would certainly 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.120 let you know. The Dolphins then broke into stretching lines 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.520 some fundamentals. You had some typical Dolphins dancing involved in 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.360 that portion. Davante and Jachim grant Man those guys need 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.760 a buddy cop movie. They are fun to watch with 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.520 how they interact with one another. It's also fun to 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.320 watch how coordinated all this stuff is. Everyone breaks in 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.920 and out of those fundamentals and individual drills. It's all quick. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.640 Everything is done on hop, very organized, very regimented. Again 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.440 a Brian Flores theme there. They did the ball security 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.920 stuff for the skill guys, trail and ball drills for 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.520 the defensive backs. The front seven guys work on stripping 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.640 the football out, offensive line working on firing off collectively 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.160 as a unit. Saw one cool drill with the defensive 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.200 lineman who would get into the passing lanes and get 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.600 their hands up. Christian Wilkins had a pass breakup on 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.440 a play last year in the Philadelphia game. Similar deal 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:24.920 there where he kind of falls back and makes a 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.680 play on the football. On the far field, you have 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.800 the defensive backs working on their trail technique offensive line 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:32.440 down in the corner. Kind of tough to see those 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.200 guys work down there, but they were doing a lot 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.920 of drive blocking drills. They kind of reminded me of 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.560 if you played basketball when you do the crossover drill 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.720 and you're getting your defensive stance and try to stay 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.800 square up to your man. Same thing. They're trying to 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.720 drive those guys down the football field, staying engaged on 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.400 their shoulder pads. The backs were catching short passes from 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:53.640 the quarterbacks, receivers working on the releases, linebackers tackling defensive 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.280 lineman on the sled. It's just the sights and sounds 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.840 of football. They give me life, man. I love that stuff. 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.160 Fun to watch there. Ter backs were throwing on air, 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.200 looked very crisp, very few balls on the ground. Timing 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.080 were sharp and on point for those guys. And Matt Rita. Man, 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.720 this guy, this new Dolphin's running back has some wiggle 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.280 even on air. You watch the explosive dest with each 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.400 step he takes. He can get flexed out as a 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.720 receiver as we saw last year with the forty nine 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.320 and do some damage that way. A couple of drops 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.720 in the period, but again, the quarterbacks location was primo. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.600 I love watching the way these guys work in their 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.480 lower half, and you can really see it's been a 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.240 point of emphasis for all three quarterbacks. Thought to look 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.080 sharp there Rosen and Fitzpatrick. But to his footwork is 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.720 always something that I thought was a big plus in 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.640 his game. And we'll have more on the quarterbacks here 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:37.880 in just a minute, but I like the way he 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.120 locates the ball up high as well the balls in 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.240 the face mask for the receiver, so you can often 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.400 see those guys just plucking the football right there and 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.000 catch it and stride and go. Preston Williams, he looks 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.480 really good out there. He was setting up his underneath 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.560 routs getting vertical. He's so physical at the release, and 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.600 that's true for Davante Parker to Preston made a one 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.520 handed catch on a deep shot in the one on 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.960 one drills. That pass came from Ryan Fitzpatrick back to Parker. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.560 I mentioned it last year and got a lot of 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.359 pop on Twitter for my comment complementing his physique and 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.920 just how he looks strong. Well this year, he looks 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.679 even stronger than me. Good muscle definition, good physicality, firing 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.159 out of breaks. Uncle came to play on Monday. I 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:15.720 had a bunch of notes on the one on one 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.480 portion between the receivers and the defensive backs, and boy 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.400 did we get that heavyweight fight immediately. I talked about 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.639 on the podcast last week, the very first rep of 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.560 the drill and then two more editions of Byron Jones 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.800 on Devonte Parker. Parker got him on one. All three 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.080 were contested, and it kind of reminded me of that 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.120 boat race game they put up on the jumbo tron 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.399 at baseball games. Maybe it's just the marriage games. I 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.440 don't know, you guys can tell me. But one boat 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.600 gets out to a lead, the next boat takes it back. 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.560 The third boat comes up and takes his lead, and 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.440 they I A'll go back and forth until the very end. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.240 That was Jones on Parker iron sharpening iron between those 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.280 two studs out there. And I put this note in 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.280 there just in general and bold and capitalized. It said, 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.280 this is getting physical. These guys are competing in these 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.679 one on one drills. Ken Webster was a beast in 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.600 that drill. He forced all in completions on his reps. 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.320 He had two pass breakups and one rep in particular. 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.560 I love the way he played an outside release and 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.959 the receiver tried to cross face on him. He pops 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.720 his hips, snaps back inside and makes a play. When 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.639 mac Hollands tried to cross face and gets one of 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.879 those p b U s I talked about. Need him 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.600 had a great rap on Jachem Grant going deep, staying 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.240 in phase with that speedy receiver the corners one. This 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.760 won this drill early on, and I thought that was 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.320 kind of the physical approach. Remember now, these are Brian 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.760 Flores and Josh Boyer and Jerald Alexander cornerbacks. They're gonna 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.000 play physical. They're not gonna take any ship from these guys. 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.320 And Preston was one of the guys that responded to that. 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.240 He had a great looking rep where he asserted his 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.959 dominance and caught it pass underneath, and then things kind 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.199 of got going for the receiver's Isaiah Ford had some 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.000 really crisp looking routes, creating some separation there that was 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.960 consistent in his game. Jachem, after losing that first rap 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:48.760 to Nick need Hum, got one over on him for 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.720 a long touchdown. That one came from Tah. The next play, 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.760 Jamal Perry undercut an under thrown ball, also from Tah 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.840 and made a really nice play on that football. So 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.680 some back and forth there. Noah ig Bonogamy, the rookie 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.359 out of Auburn. This dude is rocked up. He was 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.160 matching the physicality. It was fun to watch him and 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.879 and Preston Williams compete and go at it on the 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.639 football field out there, Malcolm Perry has some wiggle to 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.680 his game as a route runner, thought he looked good 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.720 in that area. The one wind Parker had on Jones 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.679 was a beautifully thrown corner route from Ryan Fitzpatrick. The 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.400 window was not big, but he laid it right in there. 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.960 And finally I have Jacheem on a jaw dropping comeback 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.359 route where he sold the takeoff and then came back 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.040 and won the play with five yards of separation in 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.520 such a short area. He is so explosive in these drills. Now, 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.640 finally we get to the eleven on eleven, the first 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.159 one of training camp, and my first note was the 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.760 overall play of the second level of the defense. That 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.720 linebacker corps is just so deep and so physical, lots 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.119
