1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: He Mike, how you been. What's up, Mike Grace? How

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: are we doing? Really good? Man? I wish I could

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: get in on your sessions more often, you know, so

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: this is a treat. Thanks for Thanks for going to

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Tuesday solo Mike. You know right, I appreciate it. I

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: am you got you got preparing your group this week.

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: We got a lefty quarterback, and I was more curious

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: from your perspective, like do you find in the path

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: that it's helped your guys to see the lefty in practice?

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Just to I don't know. I mean, it doesn't necessarily

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: change I don't it does it change their technique they

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: would play? I would say this is a couple of nuances,

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit difference. For the most part,

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: if the guy's a good quarterback, you know, like two,

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: he's a good quarterback, whether he's righty or lefty. You know,

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: there's some things a little bit different. You know, he'll

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: scramble out a little bit differently, but for the most part,

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, things relatively stay the same. You know, like

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: I said, it's a good quarterback. So whether he was

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: right or lefty, you know, challenges still going to be

21
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: the same. Yea, and and and the Dolphins receivers. Can

22
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: you take me through some of the challenges that they

23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: present to you guys? Yeah, so Jachem Grant, you know,

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: very fast, very uh you know, competitive football player. You

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: seet out there in the field. You know he's a

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: higher for guy. I would say this entire group, higher

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: for group out there, Jacheem speed definitely something you gotta

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: account for at all times. His ability to stretch the

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: field not only vertically but horizontally, uh, you know, is impressive.

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: You got Parker, who in himself, you know, is a

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: challenge each and every week for each team that he

32
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: goes against. You know, he's a big guy. You know,

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: he's physical, he's good at the top of the route.

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: He's good long balls, contestant catches. You know that's really

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: where he does very well. Um, and they move him

36
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: around a good bit. So you know you gotta you

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: gotta account for him. Then you got you know Bowden.

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: You know he's stepped into the limelight in the slot there,

39
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: um playing a couple of other positions, but you know,

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: he is just a football player. I would say that

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: for him and Perry, both those guys are just football

42
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: players out there. Really just trying to make plays anyway

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: they can help the team. Again, gottaccount for those guys

44
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: when you see him out there as well, and then

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: callaway you know another perimeter guy. Got a lot of speed,

46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: good quickness. Uh, definitely got some long ball threats there.

47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Mike, Thank you, macOS the problems the group, Yeah,

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: there we go. Mad the biggest guy in the group. Um,

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: you know he could see it out there on tape.

50
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, has a good niche role in there. You know,

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: can't sleep on him either. Appreciate the rundown. Mike, Oh,

52
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: it's thank you, no problem. I know you appreciate it, Mike,

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: Bob so Scow then Doug cut Thanks Michael. Good morning Mike.

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: How are we doing. We're doing well on you. Not

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: too bad day in office. Yeah. Question about Tua and

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: his eyes. You guys have faced a lot of young

57
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks first second, your quarterbacks this year in particular, and

58
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: one of the things watching Miami on television and hearing

59
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: from former quarterbacks like Tony Romo. They talk about his

60
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: ability to manipulate or use his eyes and maybe being

61
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: kind of ahead of the curve, a little precocious for

62
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: his experience in the NFL. Do you see that on tape?

63
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: Do show up with him that this is a quarterback

64
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: to maybe a little more advanced in terms of that

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: aspect of quarterback play. You could definitely see it, you know,

66
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, right off the snap, you know, you watch

67
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: a couple of tapes. You know, you can see him

68
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: trying to look off the middle of the field. Safety's

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: really trying to start on one side work to the other.

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: You know, he does a really good job of that,

71
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: trying to fool the defense really mainly the deep back

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: end guys on where he's going in football. So I

73
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: would say from that aspect of a you know, young quarterback,

74
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: he's doing very well at its being on the safeties

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: in cornerback. Does it really have an effect on a

76
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: quarterback or more so the guys in the middle of field,

77
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: as you say, the safeties depends on your eye control.

78
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: Got bad, you know, it's not gonna work out, right?

79
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: What one last one regarding their receivers too, We saw

80
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: them the other day tried to throw a couple of

81
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver passes. We saw it last year in the

82
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: game when you're playing against the Dolphins. How well where

83
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: do you have to be defensively in that ability, because

84
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: they've got several guys who who've done it either in

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: their college careers or on the NFL level. So I'd say,

86
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: just talking from that aspect, you know, Chan Gaily, you know,

87
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: very good offensive coordinator. Definitely got to account for some

88
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: gadget plays out there, and they got the guys to

89
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: do it. Again, like I said before, you got Bone

90
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: and Perry. Those guys are just football players. And for

91
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: a guy like Gaily, just looking at those guys, you know,

92
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different things you can do with them,

93
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: So definitely got to be able to account for him.

94
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: And then you know, having an aggressive mentality, Uh, you know,

95
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: kind of given the green light on some of that stuff. Mike,

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: thank you, Gerda, Doug Card and Meghan O'Brien and Mike.

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: I know you talked pretty extensively about Miles Bryant already

98
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: on Saturday, but Bill said that earlier this morning that

99
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, you guys gave him a shot at cornerback

100
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: first and then you know, moved him around a little

101
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: bit more. What is it about his skill set that

102
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: you thought he might be able to play some snaps

103
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: at safety. I know he did it in college as well,

104
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: but in your specific you know defense, Uh yeah, it's up, Doug.

105
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: So really I kind of talked about it on Saturday.

106
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: You know, Miles, when you turn on his college state,

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: you know you could tell one thing. The guy is

108
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: competitive and you can play football. Saw him junior year

109
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: playing at the nickel spot. Then you saw him his

110
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: senior year playing at the safety roles. So we knew

111
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 1: as soon as we got him he could do multiple roles.

112
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: And like you, I've told you multiple times around here,

113
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: we're all dbs, We're all expected to be able to

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: play multiple positions. So he kind of fits, you know,

115
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: right into that mentality that we were really looking for.

116
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: And then it's really no surprise that he's, you know,

117
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: able to handle multiple roles, just like you know, guys

118
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: like John Jones, guys like Jason, you know, handle multiple

119
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: roles throughout the defense. One other one on Miles. I

120
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: know that he's got some size limitations obviously, but um,

121
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: could he play some outside corner? Is he more of

122
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: a slot safety guy? Come on, man, coming up a

123
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: guy's size size? Really really you know sizes, you know,

124
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: you know you do have some limitations. But I mean,

125
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: look at John Jones playing at a high level, um,

126
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, not the biggest guy. Definitely doesn't hit like

127
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: a little guy. You know. John Jones hits like he's

128
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred, two hundred and fifty pounds out there.

129
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: So and I would say Miles you know, has a

130
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: lot of popping as step as well. So you know,

131
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't really look at size as you know, true limitation,

132
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: you know. So thanks Mike, yep, and last question to

133
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: Megan O'Brien. All right, I have a quick bone to

134
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: pick with you. And then a question when you entered

135
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: the press room, you said, hey, fellas, I believe Karen,

136
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: myself and Nicole are on here, so I'm just calling

137
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: you out. That's a five yard penalty here, all right.

138
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: And then my question is about Brian Flores and how

139
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: instrumental he was on your development as a young coach.

140
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: So I got a lot of love flow. Uh. You know,

141
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: he's a really good guy. You know, looked out for

142
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: me while I was here, along with you know a

143
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: couple other coaches. But you know, remember going to my

144
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: first safeties meeting with him when he was coaching the

145
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: safeties and just sitting in there and listen to him,

146
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: and you know, it's good to hear his perspective on

147
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: the game. Um. When Matt left, he uh, you know,

148
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: gave me a little bit more responsibility and are very

149
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: grateful for that, very appreciative. Um. Yeah, no, he's a

150
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: good guy. Again, I was just messing with you, but yeah,

151
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: shout out to Karen and Nicoll of the ladies. Sorry

152
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: about that, mag whatever happen again. I can't see anybody

153
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: all the way. This isn't fair. You can't see. I

154
