Dolph Fans, 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.279 and welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part of the 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:24.799 Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:28.639 How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield, 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.000 and as always I am here to bring you your 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.600 daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on today's show, 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.720 it's Wednesday. Players were off on Tuesday, coaches met with 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:40.559 the media, so we're gonna take a look at the 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.960 matchup in Foxborough on Sunday through the words of George Gottzie, 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.360 Josh Boyer, the Mule, John Pierre, and many many more. 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.880 Plus our Wednesday Deep Dive takes us into the film 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.680 room to take a look at Christian Wilkins. I'll tell 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.400 you why he's far more valuable than he gets credit for. 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.680 And we'll scan the interwebs for some season slash season 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.960 prediction content from some of my favorite content creators from 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:09.119 the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:16.520 This is the Drivetime Podcast, so there's no real news 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.920 or anything like that to get to today, so why 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:21.880 don't we just dive right in. We had a chance 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.399 to speak to the Dolphins assistance and man, we got 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:29.120 some good stuff on Tuesday and morning, let's do a 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.920 preliminary preview of Sunday's game that we just all cannot 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.000 wait to get here. Let's go, we hurry on up 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.520 through the words of the coaching staff, and tomorrow will 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.959 do a unit by unit matchup breakdown and have John 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.280 Knjemmy on to help us out with that as well. 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.520 But today we'll start here with Dolphins defensive coordinator Josh Boyer. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.200 And to me, this was the quote of the day 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.400 and it speaks to both the prep work but also 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.960 just how tough the Patriots are to prepare for. We 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.160 talked about this in the podcast yesterday, and the ability 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:05.480 to morph your schematics and your game plans and the 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.960 courage that takes well. Nobody has been better at that 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.880 over the last two decades than the New England Patriots. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.760 And I always think back to Jonas Gray, for instance, 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.200 the two dred yard rusher one game and you don't 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.400 even hear from him the next game. I remember Garrett 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.040 Blunt and days where he would do something similar with 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.679 you know, thirty five carries or whatever the case may be, 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.239 and the following week you have a team that is 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.120 a little bit thinner in the secondary, and so la 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.320 Garrett Blunt goes on the shelf, or maybe he's more 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.920 of a past protector in there on passing downs and 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.560 you spread the football all over the field via the air. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.360 Or how about when they were forced to go to 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.880 their third screen quarterback back in who just so happens 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.680 to be Jacoby Brissette New Miami Dolphin this year, but 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.200 in his rookie season as a third round draft pick, 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.200 after the Tom Brady suspension and Jimmy Garoppolo injury, they came. 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.200 They show up on a Thursday night on a short week. 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.799 They had a game plan that Jacoby engineered just to 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.959 pure perfection, but it was based lye in the run game, 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.400 and they just steam rolled the Houston Texans in a 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.200 game that most people thought might go the other way 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.480 because of the Patriots on their third stree quarterback, but 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.079 they found a way to scheme a victory around said quarterback. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.480 So what does Josh Boyer say about what you can 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.520 expect from the Patriots this Sunday, Well, it's not about 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.280 what you can expect, but rather to expect the unexpected. 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.880 I think we're guaranteed to see something that we were 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.720 not preparing for week one. I mean, you know, uh, 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.679 I think that was the case last year. I think 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.040 that was the case the year before. I mean it, 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.000 you know that you prepare for a lot of things, 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.040 and you look at a lot of a lot of history, 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.160 a lot of things that they've done with certain personnel 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.120 group beings. UM. But there's always an element of unknown 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:47.120 going into it. UM. So I think you just have 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.600 to be ready to adjust and be ready to adapt, um, 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.480 you know when we're playing on Sunday, to get things 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.840 handled that you weren't quite you know, ready to see. 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.640 And then coach was asked a follow up question about 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.200 the page for its personnel groupings and the options they 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.560 have to go to multiple personnel groupings. Here's Coach Boyer, Well, 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.080 you know again, I think I think it starts with, um, 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.080 you look at their personnel group as a whole, uh, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.920 even with all their additions. I think you look at 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.560 the coordinator and things that he's done with certain personnel 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.599 group beings, and you try to relate that to guys 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.440 that he's had in the past and how he may 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:28.159 use them. UM. So you know, again there will be 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.799 an element of unknown to it. I think we've prepared, 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:35.279 you know, for a lot of different scenarios. UM. Again, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.840 in the preseason, they didn't have everybody available to them 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.600 that they will have available this Sunday. UM. So again, 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.920 you know, there's a little bit of a guess on that. UM. 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.400 I would say it's an educated guest. You know, we've 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.320 spent some time on you know, what they've done in 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.520 the past. But again, there's also gonna be an element 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.039 of unknown that you know that we'll have to handle 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.760 and be ready to prepare for. What we do know 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.280 is they're gonna be very well coached, they're gonna play hard, 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.360 they're gonna play for full sixty minutes, and then we 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.400 gotta be ready to match that, and we've gotta be 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.120 ready to go. I still think the most the reason 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.560 I began the podcast with the quote, I think we're 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.080 guaranteed to see something that we're not preparing for Week one. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.719 Just really insightful stuff there from the Dolphins defensive coordinator. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.440 The d C of last year's number one ranked takeaway defense, 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.360 number one ranked third down defense, and number six ranks 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.640 scoring defense. Now coach also said they prepared for Mac Jones, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.400 Cam Newton, Brian Hoyer, and Jared Sidham at quarterback. And 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.520 I just wanted to put that in there because I 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.599 think it's a bit of a nod of an appreciation 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.800 you have to have for these coaches and the time 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.520 they put in. It's one of the more tiring professions 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.839 you can imagine, and it's at times, especially with positional coaches, 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.800 somewhat thankless, at least on the outside perspective. And to me, 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.400 it's it's impressive, and it's league wide across all thirty 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.920 two clubs, and it really kind of, at least to me, 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.560 opened your eyes to the discourse you see on social 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.599 media or the like, almost feels kind of ridiculous to 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.839 debate these guys. It's it's almost like, you know, let's 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.440 call it a high school degree level graduate compared to 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.840 a PhD in terms of the experience and knowledge in 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.680 this particular outfit. So, finally, the best part about Josh 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.840 Boyer besides that first quote was Joe Shadd asked him 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.160 a little bit about Elijah Campbell, the Dolphins new acquisition 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.200 off the waiver wire last week, who had spent some 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.400 time in both the A a F and the XFL 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.600 and Joe was kind of given coach a little bit 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.679 of a not a rasing, but just trying to find 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.279 out what animals coach might go to to find tape 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.600 on a guy like that, and Coach just said, yeah, 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.159 I've seen a lot of film, Joe, I've seen a 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.400 lot of film. I love that answer from coach and 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.880 fund discourse there with he and Joe shadow the Palm 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.119 Beach post. Whtch up? Joe, good job on that question. Today. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.479 I also had a chance to ask coach Burke's something 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.760 similar with regards to how do you prepare for a 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.760 team that's so known for rolling out new things and 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.760 the in game adjustment mentality? How do you prepare for 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.839 what will likely be an game adjustment, as Coach Boyer said, 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.479 because we're expecting to see something that we don't expect 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.560 to see. Here's coach Burks. So you know, the main 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.200 thing is we know that they're gonna be well coached. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.400 We know they're gonna be disciplined. You know, uh, mistakes 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.200 would be limited. So regardless of the personnel, the personality 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.200 of the team, it is what it is, you know, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.200 So that that's what we prepare for. That's what we expect. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.160 You know, they've been this way for the past twenty years, 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.240 so it's gonna be a hard fought fourth quarter game. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.560 So that's that's something you always love to hear about 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.840 the coaching staff focusing on just the overall picture there 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.040 and that is no different there and the messaging from 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.680 coach Burk's next I had a chance, staying on the 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.280 defensive side of the ball to talk to coach Austin Clark, 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.920 who has been very insightful in my conversations with him, 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.800 and that did not change on this Tuesday. For the 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.360 podcast on Wednesday, September eight. Thanks for listening to the 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.440 Drivetime podcast. Go ahead and subscribe, rate and review the 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.040 podcast for us, and tell a friend to help us out. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.800 That's the only thing we ask of you here on 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.400 the Miami Dolphins podcast network. Also check out the Fish 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.120 Tank with Feth Levin o J McDuffie. But back to 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.680 Austin Clark, I wanted to ask him about the Patriots 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.720 offensive line and their ability to use their size, their 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.040 play experience, and their familiarity with one another to help 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.400 thwart the games and the past rush packages upfront that 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.200 you might want to throw it then because the Patriots 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.480 offensive line for as long as I can remember. You know, 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.960 it's a twenty five year obsessive fan of this league. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.160 They seem to always roll out very, very good offensive lines. 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.080 So I asked Coach Clark, how do you deconstruct that line, 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.959 the communication, they probably have, the experience playing together. How 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.120 do you get production against the line that's so good? 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.200 Here's Coach Clark. Yeah, I would say, uh, they work 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.959 well together. They're very very experienced group. Um. You know 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.840 the addition of getting getting Brown back, you know, I 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.600 think it's huge for him. Um, And and they come 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.880 off with with low pads. They play really hard, and 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.520 I think it's gonna be a big challenge for us. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.760 You heard him talk a little bit about Trent Brown there, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.120 the addition they made back at tackle, a player that 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.199 was with the Patriots once upon time and then went 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.280 to Oakland. Now he's back with New England. And you know, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.200 I wanted to ask him about that guy, because Trent 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.600 Brown is a three d and sixty pound dude. How 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.800 difficult is it to get a guy like that, you know, 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.240 either over as skis or off momentum, or just how 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.800 do you get through him on a bull rush. There's 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.840 so many different things you have to contend with with 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.960 a guy of that size and stature. So I wanted 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.400 to ask coach, you know, how do you approach a 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.679 guy that's maybe unique in the sense that he is 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:26.000 so large and so difficult to get around. Here's Coach Clark. Yeah, 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.480 I think for for some guys, yeah, I think, you know, 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:32.440 he's an elite level talent. And uh in terms of uh, 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.439 you know, everybody's different, and every player on defense is 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.600 going to be different, you know, and so depending on 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.520 who that is lining up on him, you know, maybe 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.680 he may have a different mentality. Um, but uh, you know, 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.760 I think the guys are really excited about the challenge. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.640 And it's not just Trent Brown, Michael and when it 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.680 was a massive, massive human being too. Along with Shack 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.360 Mason has been one of the best right guards in 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.320 the NFL for a long long time. David Andrews is back, 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.840 Ted Carress is back up there. You also got Isaiah 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.520 went at left tackle. A very tough offensive line. We'll 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.319 get into those guys on the podcast tomorrow and break 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.920 that all down. But over to the offensive side and 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.040 kind of some of the attacking the Patriots defense questions. 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.480 I went to George Godzie here he was asked about 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.480 early season production and getting off to a fast start 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:18.080 with regards to the offense executing. Here's coach Gotzi. Yeah, 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.880 I think through training camp it's um. You know, you 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.920 have some good days, you have some bad days. You're 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.280 going against your a lot of the same guys, UM 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.520 for a majority of it. You know, we had some 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:34.040 good experiences with other teams, UM, but preseason is one 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.200 one thing and this is the regular season and we 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.600 know that they're going to give us their best, and 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.040 you know, we want to make sure it's competitive and 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.080 at our best every snap. We need to be on 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.560 blocks when we were called or asked to do it, UM. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.319 And you know, we need to find the open guy, 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.880 deliver an accurate ball, cast the ball, and get yards. 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.280 In the pass game, running backs need to run hard. 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.720 I mean, it's uh, it's not a complex formula. But 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.520 going back to your original point, you know, we talk 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:07.800 about technique fundamentals, and you know they're well coached and 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.240 they'll be guys in position and it's up to us 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.240 to block them. You know, get open kets and football, 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.360 deliver an accurateball and this is kind of going away 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.400 from the theme of these questions with regards of the 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.679 Patriots and how to attack them, and you know, like 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.760 we mentioned earlier season fast starts and kind of the 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.240 execution of the offense. Coach was asked about two A 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.680 Tongo by Loa some of the strengths that he thinks 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.720 the quarterback offers and some of the things that maybe 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.160 attracted the Dolphins to the former overall number five overall 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.760 pick in the draft out of Alabama. Here's coach on 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.600 his quarterback. I mean, you know, it's it's there's a 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.040 lot of a lot of variables there. Um, you know, 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.200 he's he's pretty good, a lot of different phases in 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:49.160 college as far as executing for that team, and um, 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.360 you know, play action regular boot game. You know, so 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.120 that was part of the reason, you know, we looked 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.800 at him and liked them. And you know, so that 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.400 this is obviously and jump in and personnel and who's 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.439 playing and strategy. You know, so a lot of those 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.720 variables kind of play into that more than it does 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.200 just actually copy paste and if you will to play 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.559 that's a little bit harder to do. So he was 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:16.920 talking there a little bit about the r p O 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.400 game and some of the other type of offensive concepts 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.520 and action that two excels with. So I thought that 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.080 was some good insight there from coach god c Dolphins 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:28.200 co offensive coordinator. Let's go ahead and flip this thing over. No, 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.760 check that. How about some of the other problems that 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.720 Patriots present on that defensive side of the football and 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.200 their ability to be multiple upfront and rush with a 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.920 bunch of different guys is one of the key problems 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.000 I personally have identified. And it's not a secret I 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.679 don't think from people that watched this league, But I 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.240 had a chance to ask coach Lemille John Pierre, offensive 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.000 line coach here in Miami, a couple of questions. Number one, 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.080 how do you prepare for a team that has all 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.440 of the different things that Patriots can do. Let's go 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.240 ahead and start there. For coach lamil Jo Pierre, Oh, 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.559 you know everybody knows every week brings you different challenges, 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.320 for sure, and you got a team where they let 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.880 you know what it's gonna be. Kind of one thing 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.400 you already gotta assume as a coach is that what 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.240 they're showing you isn't just what they want you to know. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.920 So sometimes my guys prepared for the unknown, and sometimes 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.600 sometimes you work that in there so they present that challenge. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.600 But the best way to attack is like you gotta 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.040 just film study for sure, trying to see if you 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.360 just see see until here and there, which they're very 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.319 good at not giving you that, and then you just 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:34.000 keep repping them, repping them like high speed competitive competitive repetition. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.080 That way we're gonna work out the kings and see 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.200 a if you're getting a bapetition, how you gotta recover? 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.520 Because one of my releases, I can't always praise my 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.240 guys at um being in the perfect position because that's 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.200 not football. You want to make sure be praising if 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.320 we're get in this position, how you recover, not panics. 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:48.839 A lot of times you get panicked. That's what bad 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.920 things happened. Gosh, I really think the Dolphins are in 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.240 good hands there with coach Lemil John Pierre. He has 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.280 a lot of fun to talk to and break this 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.400 game down like we'd love to do here on the 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.600 Drive Time podcast and you heard him say there, which 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.439 I found so very interesting that teams want to show 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.280 you stuff they want you to see in order to 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.840 and this is me going on now to possibly manipulate 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.160 manipulate you later on in the game. And that's the 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:14.760 beauty of football. I think I even said in my 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.839 follow up question to coach Lem, They're like, that's what 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.840 we love this game so much, right, because it is 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.160 so complex that way, and there's so much of a 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.200 chess match as far as like here's what I think 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:24.920 you're gonna do, so I'm gonna react this way, and 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.840 this can possibly have this impact later on in the game. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.800 To me, it's like a batter versus picture matchup where 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.320 the picture is trying to think about Okay, last time 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:34.840 I was one two to this guy, I threw the 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.320 curveball off the plate away then came back in with 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.160 the fastball under the hands. Like, all of the data 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.560 you have goes into the data bank, so you can 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.880 then project what might happen in the future. It's a 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.120 tough job, a tough task. That's why of these coaches 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:48.880 are so good at what they do. So here's a 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.960 question for coach about preparing for guys like for instance, 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.040 Josh you j and Chase Winovitch who maybe you know, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.800 have their best ball out ahead of them, and you 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.840 don't necessarily know what kind of player they are coming 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.200 back in year two or year three as guys that 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.200 have developed over the off season. Since you're seeing them 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.360 in game number one and your tape that you do 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.440 have from last season, well it's probably outdated on those 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.240 guys because they have had a whole off season to 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.280 grow and prepare and learn the system and lift weights 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.560 in condition and just get better at their craft. How 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.560 do you prepare for guys who probably have their best 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.240 football still to come and decide what they're best at 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.920 when you haven't seen that yet on tape. You take 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.240 all the tape you can. And for both those guys 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.480 that you mentioned, you know you got you do Judeans 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.640 and um van Noord because he's been here. Think about 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.960 those two I'll take specifically because I had part of 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.040 my job last year was like a passionate study. So 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.040 those two guys were never hidden like they might be 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.320 shown them now. Last year he looks at the tape, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.640 they were always there. Now they just more experienced, more confidence. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.960 They're probably showing you everybody else more so, at least 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.480 from an online coach perspective, because I'm focusing on those guys. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.280 Those guys aren't surprising me like last year, like I said, 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.640 you look at the Rams tape. You know they showed 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.600 the quickness. You know, they show of the ability to 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.640 kind of verst the pasture same time showing physics physicality. 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.360 They're very good up front and they're a good discipline 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.240 defensive team. So we know that once again, you know 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.080 that from the tape and just them, and so we 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:12.400 have a lot of respect for him, and that's why 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.000 we got to prepare how we repair. And let's go 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.240 ahead and finish up here on the offensive side with 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.520 coach Josh Grizzard, Dolphins wide receivers coach I had a 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.200 chance to ask grizz about the Pats and the difficulty 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.120 again this type of defense with the rush games up 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.680 front that pairs with numerous coverage looks and different disguises 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.080 and the ability to get to all those different looks 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.480 because of how loaded that secondary is. Let's go ahead 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.520 and turn this over to coach Gizard. We tried to 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.720 um tell them, hey, this is what they've shown, but 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:46.000 we know with this group that you can't expect anything. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.440 So you got to be able to execute your fundamentals 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.240 and techniques and lean on the things that you developed 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.520 all the way through camp, just because you don't necessarily 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.680 know what you're gonna see once we get into it. 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:00.520 You might know in the first quarter and then it 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.040 could change. So it's all about leaning on all your 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.640 preparation through camp and seeing coverage the same way and 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.400 ultimately seeing it the same way through through each position 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.280 group to know exactly where we need to be on 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.439 time and ready to ready to uncover. So there you 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.480 go the preview from the coach's perspective. I think expect 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.880 the unexpected was kind of the theme of those interviews 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.760 and of those conversations. Again, a big thanks to the 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.919 Dolphins coaching staff for just talking football with me. I 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.280 love these assistant coach pressers because it puts you in 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.199 a position where you can just kind of talk to 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.520 the guys, and number one, it gives me a chance 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.520 to get to know the coaches. I mean, me and 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.040 Coach Campanelli talked about food. I kind of took off 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.439 at Dean's place in that regard on the beat this 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.640 year talking to coach about food. I talked to Coach 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.920 Gazzard a little bit about his hometown or his home 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.240 area in the Carolinas. I kind of talked a little 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.239 bit about my drive this last week and going through 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.760 the mountains and Tennessee and down through Georgia and just 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.000 you know, getting to know the guys. It's always I 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.480 like to know the people that I'm covering, and also 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:00.960 you know, kind of pulling four here in the Miami 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.439 Dolphins and and just all the good guys in this building. 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.439 It makes it. It makes it more fun and more 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.640 enjoyable for me. So a big thanks to the Dolphins 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.560 coaching staff are really just being receptive to my questions 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.080 and open and honest about everything there. So let's go 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.880 ahead and pivot here. Outside of the coach's media availability, 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.080 you can find all of those up on YouTube on 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.800 the Miami Dolphins channel right now, as well as Dolphins Today. 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.400 I'm on Dolphins Today once a week for you guys 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:24.959 that we have two episodes a week, but you can 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.000 find me on the Thursday episodes, so I do not 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.280 forget to check those out as well. But let's go 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.240 ahead and move on now to the Dolphins depth chart 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.720 which came out with the weekly release. Here offensively to 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.600 a tongue by lower your first stren quarterback with Jacobe Burtt, 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.720 the backup Miles Gaskin, Malcolm Brown savan Achmedric running backs 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:46.840 at receiver, Parker Waddle Grant listed as the starters, with Williams, Wilson, 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:51.440 and Hollins the three behind. Gaski, Shaheen Smythe, Sethan Carter 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.359 and Hunter Long makeup your tight end room. Austin Jackson, 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.639 Solomon Kimley, Michael Dieter, Robert Hunt, and Jesse Davis the 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.280 top five. On the offensive line. You've got Great Little 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.560 as your left tackle on the depth chart, and Robert 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.440 Jones is the backup at both guard spots, with Greg 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:10.359 Mans at center and Eikenberg the right tackle position. Emmanuel Ogba, Ray, 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.000 Juan Davis, and Christian Wilkins make up your three down 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.439
