WEBVTT - The Audible Ep. 14 | Bobby McCain 0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.240 Games all here again back out of Joe Rose John 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.600 and Jimmy Kimbo Camper giving you another uh sterling podcast. 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.160 I'm still trying to figure out that Hell is a podcast. 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.480 That's the only one I do. That's all. Yeah, I 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:19.959 ain't doing a lot of podcasts do what I do, 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.680 and it's the only one I listened to, that's the 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:25.759 only one we're signed up for both. I know I 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.320 should probably I should probably start scanning the uh the 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.919 podcast world and and listen to more. Don't worry. Everybody 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.640 does a podcast. Now you can have a phone and 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.960 you can have a little privacy area. I was just 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.840 looking through something yesterday, just kind of going through some stuff, 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.480 and I see, uh Greg Cosell. He's a big pot. 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.760 They got a big, big roll out of his podcast. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.400 Everybody got a podcast. I just don't know where you well, 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.080 I know where you find him, but I don't. I don't. 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.279 I need to delve more. We won't worry about the podcast. 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:59.120 We'll worry about the more. Hey, guys, uh Minicamp wraps 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.240 up and it's kind of become a little tradition. You know, 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.160 these guys have been through O T A s. They've 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:09.240 been been here for a long time going through offseason conditions. 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.560 You excuse me, most podcasts don't get that have to 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.399 edit that logan that's even live. This your live and 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:24.120 real and whatever you do, don't don't don't sneaks and 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.080 ruin our podcast. Bro a right, But anyways, kind of 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.320 come a tradition where that last day everyone's been through. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.960 It's been a grind for some of these guys, especially 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:37.320 the especially the college kids that came right out of 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.000 their season, went right in to start working out for 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.240 whether they were going to combine or not give themselves 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.360 ready for pro days, combine all those things and boom 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.319 right into it. So they haven't had a break. They 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.920 had much of a break since really since going back 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.440 to last August. So I'm sure they're they're they're not. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.960 So anyway, coach gives them the last day of the 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.240 of the mini camp off. Well, I'll tell you what, 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.600 it's a lot of learning and being at minicamp the 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.400 last couple of days. Um, there's some learning to be done. 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.480 You can tell the veteran guys that have been here 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.600 that are going full speed, aren't thinking about anything, been 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.600 in this offense and defense and then all the new 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.400 guys stand out like a sore thumb, not sure where 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.960 to line up, going about half speed because they're thinking 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.360 instead of just playing. And so that's what this is 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.280 for man learning. They've been in the they've been in 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.680 the teaching rooms and and going through position stuff with 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.680 their coaches, but it's different getting out there and making 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.360 adjustments with some guy over here. Would you guess, Sean 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.959 that some of these guys, in particular the rookies may 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.560 want to say, well, look, I think I'm just gonna 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.080 stick around here in South Florida until training camp rolls around. 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.160 I think so, I mean, why not? You know people 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.440 are saying I'm going here for vacation. I'm going there 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.080 for vacation. A lot of people live where other people 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.840 vacation right their jobs on the line. More most importantly, 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.400 and did Joe's point, You could absolutely tell when Ryan 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.680 Tannehill in the first group are in the huddle and 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.480 they break or they're on the ball and they're going 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.160 hurry up and the communications really flawless. Defense the same 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.239 way now the twos and threes come out and Bryce 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.680 Petty is trying to get everybody back in the huddle 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.760 after they've been on the line of scrimmage, because everybody's 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.240 looking at each other going what what do we? Where 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.639 do we I line up? Where do I go? So 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.880 I do think that some of these young guys, they 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.799 may go home for a week and then and I'm 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.400 and then you come back early, get back in the classroom, 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.760 get back in there, because there's nothing, like Joe said, perfectly, 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.240 there's nothing that can emulate or or or kind of 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.000 go out on the field and go through at full speed. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.360 You can't do that in the classroom. You can learn 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.520 it things, you can get tag names, you can remember 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.720 keys that will help you remember plays and tags on 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.680 certain things. But to actually do it when the clock's 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.400 running and you're under pressure and you're trying to figure 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.880 out where to line up, let alone what coverage it 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.720 is and how my route adjustment changes. You know, after 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.200 the ball snapped, there's a lot of thinking going on. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.160 You could feel the smoke coming out a lot of 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.800 helmets out there. But let me ask you both, this 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.520 is your because you're offensive guys. You you've you've lived 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.600 in offensive huddles. I haven't lived in offense huddles. But 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.480 and when I when I when I listen to things. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.400 Now when I hear coaches talk about plays, man, I 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.159 just think, I just think, man. And look it's not 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.400 just the Dolphins. I think everybody's in this mode now. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.360 The play calling is so worthy these days. You know, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.320 it's very long, very worthy. I mean, you know, I 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:33.800 mean back in the day, you know, it's like yo, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.000 I don't know, you know, two thirty seven and then 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.880 you throw some the you know, the route numbers out 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.720 or something. You know, it's quick, short and everything. We 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:50.000 were very smart guys. Yeah, exactly, take off. That was it. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.120 And so you you, so you get and you you 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.599 basically get. You get the you get the scheme, the 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.560 blocking scheme, and you get routes. Right, so it's basically 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.240 get it. Now you're listen doing this, you know the 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.440 word it's it's just so you. And I wonder if 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.240 that makes John makes it difficult for some of these 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.120 guys that are coming in. You know, you're trying and 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.520 trying to trying to jump jump over the hurdles of 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.680 the of the of the terminology and keep getting tripped up. 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.880 Does that have something to do with it? What makes 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.240 it more difficult? And I guess it does. And what 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.680 makes it more difficult is when you come from a 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.440 university that has a board with four pictures on it, 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.400 and you've got eight guys signaling to eight different people. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.279 On the sidelines, i have one person signaling to the 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.640 wide receivers want to on your on that side. Now 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.359 I've got another coach signaling to the receivers on the 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.320 other side. Now I've got somebody going to the offensive 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.120 line and giving them their protection. So as a quarterback, 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.919 I'm not doing anything. I'm looking at the play that 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.600 I'm getting from the sidelines. Lyneman has the protection, white 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.760 outs have the routes. Back has his his read on 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.440 too hot from the weak side, I'm blocking here, I'm 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.400 hot here. They have all that taken care of. So 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.320 now you come to the NFL and you've got you know, 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.800 shift to why shift a seminole right? Tag it with 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.080 another thing, and then you've got something in the middle 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.320 to say, well, that's really a dummy call. Now I'm 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.440 gonna kill it and give you another call at the 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.760 line of scrimmage, or call two plays at once. So 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.920 there there's a lot of things going on that guys 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.120 are not up to speed with you, So it's hard 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.800 to evaluate the new players that are here. You can say, hey, 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.320 that guy runs well, that guy catches the ball well, 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.719 but you can't tell me if he was right on 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.680 that player or not, because you don't know he doesn't right. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.599 I can just remember coming in and and and you know, 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.359 they draft me as outside linebacker. I've never played linebacker 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.680 in my life, so I'm just I'm just becoming new 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.040 to I've never covered anybody in my life. So I 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.520 come out here and and we run, and I remember 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.320 the first cover we put in was our one coverage, 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.400 one coverage. If I'm on the strong side, tight inside, 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.320 I gotta get out to the yo cut and I 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.160 gotta get you know, get the short out. I gotta 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.119 be the short outside. If if I'm on the weak side, 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.160 I got the week back man to man. I remember 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.960 those things. Yes, you know all that, but so so 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.960 I remember the first time. So so bill On he goes, 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.600 all right, get you know, you go to the show 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.400 Old Cancer. So so it's it's a zone. It's it's 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:17.000 it's a it's a combo. It's a man man zone coverage. 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:22.640 So staff the ball, I see the quarterback, so I'm 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.320 sprint out to the to the short short out. Side, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.040 and I stand sitting and I just stopped and they 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.720 throw the ball like over my head a little bit, 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.800 And damn, but what you're doing out there? I said, 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.560 why I got to where you told me? But you 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.040 gotta do something once you get there. You can't just 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.480 sit there and set up camp. Man. You gotta do something, 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.880 you know. It's just like I got out there. Man, 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.960 I'm out there, you know. But but then you get 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.000 out there, then you got something. You gotta make something. Laugh. 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.640 But so it's it's, you know, it's it's it's sometimes 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.240 stuff like that elementary. But all I remember that I 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.440 had so much crap going on through my head at 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.760 that during at that time that I was just so 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.640 I'm just happy to got out to where I was 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.600 supposed to be, you know, I got It's a massive overload, man, 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.920 especially like you said, when both these sides of the 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.640 ball the running the same terminology. Guys that have been here, 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.160 have been through the system, so they're just they're just 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.000 continuing on what they already know. They're they're just stacking 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.840 more knowledge on top of knowledge. Where these rookies are there, 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.480 they're getting the basic stuff out there. So yeah, it's 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.360 gonna take a while for these guys. But uh, but 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.520 it's fun. It's fun sometimes though, even though you know 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.680 the young guys even better, and sometimes you're gonna have 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.600 you know, mental errors or breakdowns and mistakes. But it's 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.719 it's been fun to watch once they get into one 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.640 on ones and you kind of like, look at that 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.120 body type and that guy big catch, you climb the 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.679 ladder for that one, or that guy who encouraged he's 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.920 pretty quick getting out of his break and getting to 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.480 the football. You see those little traits that might carry 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.240 over once they're organized. Well, I think I think for 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.960 the most part, I think most people that that that 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.080 have been around football, that watch football, can watch a 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:56.960 young guy and know that, hey, this guy is just 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:58.920 trying to figure out what he's doing out here. But 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.439 you see those you see those bursts every now and then, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.840 but that goes oh there, you go that that's that's 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:09.440 what you saw yesterday. Actually, if you were to look 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.600 a wow, way ahead of the chart, he you saw 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.200 his physical talent the last couple of days running by guys, 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.760 catching a ball over his shoulder. He's got really good 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.400 hands and he's got a gear. Yeah, Hey, one of 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.320 the guys out there too. That's gotta be happy. Guy 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.800 Bobby McCain. Uh, we've talked about Bobby all all all 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.440 during the off season. Now he made that big, that 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.360 that that big raised his game a couple of levels 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.679 last year and got paid for it during the off 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.240 season with just recently with a contract. And I'm happy 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:41.760 for Bobby. You know, he's a guy who worked hard 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.240 and deserved it. But here's the guy there's gotta be 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.160 happy to be running around with with a big with 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.040 a big wallet and a little bit he got a 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.559 little different and the guys are giving him the needle 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:59.400 to big paid house. Yeah, that's great. Hey, listen, you're right, 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.480 Bobby's one the most improved players on the team a 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.800 year ago. I was looking at the roster this morning 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.440 of of guys who made the big jump and what 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.800 he did in the slot, and how much better he 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.160 got in coverage, uh, and the things. Hey, that's an 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.120 inside outside go man. There are a lot of corners 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.640 they're going no, no, no, you take it inside. I 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.680 like having that sideline. I don't want to have to 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.400 have a two way go plus over the top. So 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.200 he's really a nice job. He's become one of the 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.080 better players at his position in the league. And I 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.320 think he's become one of the leaders. Any questions about that, 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.360 I think he's a you know, Bob, Bobby's got that 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.520 and there's guys like that that that we've all played 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.600 with that he's got that unique unique He's a fun guy, 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.600 you know, he's easy to get along with, he likes 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.960 to laugh like but but when it comes to business, 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.400 he's all business about being better. He's about getting better. 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.000 He's about making everyone around him better. And I think 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.760 and I think that that that is part of the 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.280 reason I think why this team invested that money and 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.679 Bobby because of all those things he brings to the table. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.240 Talk about his leadership, talk about him being vocal out 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.360 in the field, no one where everyone's supposed to be. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.680 And by the way, you know, he's proven that he 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.640 can cover in this league and uh and be very successful. 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.719 I wouldn't go ahead, Joe, I just say finding a 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.559 guy to cover inside with all those things, all the 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.320 intagible as you talked about, has made him really really valuable, 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.080 and including the work in the off season, what he's done. Yeah, 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:23.920 we got a chance to catch up with with Bobby 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.800 a little bit earlier and during these uh O t 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.160 s and stuff, and uh, we didn't we didn't have 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:30.960 I wish I had known he's gonna get the contract. 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.560 I wouldn't ask him about it, but I'd asked him 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:40.240 for a little dope. You've got a little extra extract. Yeah, 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:45.520 podcast exactly. Let's let's hear what Bobby had to say. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.280 All right, Humber with Bobby your Kane and uh, what 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.120 have you been doing with yourself? Though? Now she's a 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.440 season ended to get to where we're at right now, 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.079 just trying to stay in shape. Um, you know, just 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.240 working out, doing doing it, trying to do the right 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.559 things and just get my body right for what's coming 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.120 up and what's coming ahead. We got a big season 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.120 to head for us. And uh, you know, I attended 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.000 the business combine that Mr Ross put on in New 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.280 York and it was it was a very exciting experience. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:15.880 It was I'm very great for to be able to 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.200 go because you can learn so much from so many 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:22.400 people and just uh he had tons just him speaking 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.960 and hearing the other influential people they are speaking that 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.120 you know, it's it's good to just pick their brains 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:28.880 and take notes. We're gonna touch on that a little 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.240 bit later on the program, because I think it's really 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.680 one of the great things that that Mr. Ross was 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.200 doing for for his players and people around the league 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:37.760 that want to get involved. We'll touch on that a 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.040 little bit, but for first, let's talk a little bit 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.840 about you know, the one the one constant in the NFL. 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:48.520 He has become change. I remember the number for a 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.720 number of years was was fort turnover. Basically on every team, 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.880 you got seven draft choices, most of them usually make 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.000 the team, and that's a big ball. Your free agents 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.520 move coming and going, and it seems like even now 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.520 this year a little bit more volatile the movement is. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.560 It's been a strange offseason for you seeing guys come 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.679 and go and the and the movements that really really 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.480 aren't done with until until you guys go into training 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.080 camp and get to that business. Yeah, you know, it's uh, 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.360 it's it's the NFL. You know, it's it's it's it's 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.800 a it's a business where you know, things happen, things change, 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.800 and um, you know, we had some big we made 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.720 some big moves and some big changes, but you know, 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.480 they have a plan, you know, and my job is 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.240 to play football, you know, so um, you know, just 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:28.920 go out and do everything you can, and like, like 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.280 I wish those guys the best of luck. And I 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.080 know they're gonna have great futures in their careers. You know, 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.840 they're really good players. And um, so just knowing, like 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.079 you know, just just putting your best foot forward every day, 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:39.680 coming out every day and knowing that you know, no 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.480 one's safe. You know. We just like like we just said, 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.520 we just traded Jarvis. Um, you know, really Sue, you know, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.040 those are those are big name guys, and those are 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.120 big guys that that we're a big part of the team. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.080 And um, you know, unfortunately're going so now we have 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.280 to you have to look forward and and just just 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.120 go with what with what's best. It's the nature of 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.199 the beast. I mean, every team in the NFL is 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.680 going through comings and goings. The guy that you know, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.800 certainly certainly a lot of those guys that meant a 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.920 lot to this football team for a long period of times. 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.160 But the guy that struck me latest was Michael Thomas. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.680 I like Michael Thomas, a good guy, a good guy 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.360 to have around the team. And uh and and I 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:13.920 kind of hate to see him go. But that's kind 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.400 of the same with everybody. You kind of get to 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.920 know guys, and you know, it's different from a player standpoint. 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.000 You obviously get to know him at a different level 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.000 than we do outside the locker room. Um is it 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.560 tough Sometimes you see guys that you have a friend 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:29.600 relationship friendly relationship with the jettison or or choose to 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.760 go somewhere else. It definitely is definitely is like speaking 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.400 on Mike Tam Mike, he's one of the greatest guys 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:34.880 I've been around. You know, he's one of the He's 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.360 a really good football player and he's an even better person. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:38.720 You know, he does what he's supposed to do in 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.240 the community and you know he's a real role model 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.600 for people out here. Um. Just and that's why you 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.240 get so much love, you know, And it does it 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.800 sucks to see your friends go because, like I said, 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.720 when I came in, um I had there's only like 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.520 maybe I think two maybe three of my guys that 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.920 were in my class, um that were drafted in my 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.680 class and that are left here. So you know, it does, 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.920 it does something. But like you said, it's a nature 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.240 of the beast and like the NFL is always changing, 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.040 and um, you know there's gonna be there's gonna be 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:08.680 new faces in the locker room, new faces in the 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.280 meeting rooms. You know, you just got to you you 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.160 have to put together and that's that's what being a 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:13.880 team is all about. Bobby. You spent a lot of 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.360 time since you've been here trying to improve your game, 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.120 trying trying to be a better player. And that's what 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.640 your life in the NFL. It's always trying to find 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.560 that one thing that makes you a little better. And boy, 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.160 you took a big leap last year. I thought you 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.440 really did a lot of good things last year. Six 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.000 team games, you have seven starts during the season, You 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.240 got out of the cornerback spot, and you got a 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:32.800 chance to play out there a little bit more rather 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.000 than playing inside and some of the uh the the 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.560 nickel and dime packages there. Um, do you feel good 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.360 about what you accomplished last year? Personally? Oh? Yeah, you 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.400 know you Um, you have people tell you had a 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.320 good year, and you know, just being honest, you know, 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.120 if you did or you didn't, But uh, I know 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.360 I can be better, you know, I know. I don't 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:54.000 let I try not to try to indulge in and 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:55.600 what people are saying to me, and just keep working, 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.360 keeputing my head down and keep doing I'm doing, you know, 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.320 because each year I've gotten better, and like I said, 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.240 this next year, I'll I don't get better. And um, 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.320 that's the nature of the game. If you're not getting better, 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.600 get worse, period. And that's just how it is. So 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.640 you know, I appreciate the compliment, like you said, but um, 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.280 like like I said, I haven't had my best year. 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.280 You got to step out in the corner a little bit. 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:14.800 Uh did you like doing that? And it's certainly I 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:18.040 think you certainly send a metchages to everybody in that 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.280 secondary that Hey, I'm I'm I'm more than one trick pony. 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.760 I got playing inside, but I can also go outside 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.800 and cover anyone you need out there. I think you 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.120 certainly made that evident last year. Yeah, for sure, for 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:29.400 sure I can do it all, you know, if you 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.440 Regardless where I play, I'm gonna try to get the 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.920 job done. And uh, that's my job as a football player, 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.440 and that's my job. That's my role for the Dolphins. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.520 Wherever you wherever you are, wherever your play is get 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.400 the job done and Um, that's why I like to 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.160 do like so talk about changing the team. Guys coming in. Uh, 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.840 one of the guys certainly interested coming in, Danny Ammondola. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.960 You got up close in person with him last year 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.840 up in New England. Um, gotta kinda take us through 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.120 that little thing and that little scuffle up there. I 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.360 I was right there kind of watching it. Quite frankly, 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.240 that's the kind of football I like. I enjoyed it. 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.520 So you know, I wouldn't have thrown the fly, but 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.480 that's just me, but kind of take it. That was 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.080 something that's kind of It's funny these things. People see 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.960 him at the moment and sometimes these things start maybe 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.000 a game too, maybe a year back where things going. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.720 Is this has just been something that's come along or 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.879 was this just a one time game situation? You know 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.080 it was a game situation. You know, it was really intense. 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.200 You know, anytime you play the Patriots is gonna be intense, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.800 you know. Um, So, like like I said, now he's 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.119 my teammate now, you know, and uh you know, now 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.560 we're gonna go to war together and that that that's 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:29.919 what it is. You know. Well, I'm sure we'll have 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.119 a conversation about what we went on. But like, like 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.280 I said, at the end of the day, now we're 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.600 trying to win games. So you know, we're teammates and 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.720 we're gonna try to go and get the job done regardless. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.560 Like I said, I'm on the side, he's on my side. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.080 So I hated the guy for the last five years. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:46.439 Now I like him. Yeah, you know, he's like I said, man, 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:50.560 he's good football, football, tough guy. He uh, he's a 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.480 good player. You know. Unfortunately we had our differences, you know, 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.919 but that happens. You know, well, like and like like practice, 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.119 now it's it's it's game day every day now, you know, 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.119 regardless of he's on our team, regardless who's that in 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.280 front of you know, it's just it should be that. 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.280 That's what pragice should be. They should be competitive. It 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.280 should be good football. You know, where people are competing, 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.280 people are trying to get people trying to win. Well, 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:10.800 you you don't, you don't. You don't get in that 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.920 situation with a guy like Danny em Indoor or anybody 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.600
