We'll get the show going back again 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.360 and you'll have a little fun and uh, one of 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.240 our amigos, although John's John's gonna make it a little better. 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.640 John con Jemmy is gonna make it or expected to 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:28.760 make it during the show here. So we'll get him back, 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.200 probably getting some juicy stuff though he's probably getting something 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.720 some dirt, getting some down there, find out what's going 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.519 on and give the benefit and he'll bring it to 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.080 the podcast right here, and uh so everyone can hear 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.120 it when they listen on Apple Music, Dolphins dot Com, 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.240 the Miami Dolphins mobile app, and tune in Radio with 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.600 every dropping every third job right there. That was good. 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.880 That was very nice, all right, Joe, very nice, very nice. 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.560 Let's go something there wasn't very nice. Let's go back 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:57.840 to uh Friday preseason game number two in Carolina, and 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.000 I think there were some good things that you can 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.280 pull out of that game. But you know the things 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.880 that the things that things that really bother me are 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.480 are big defense giving up big plays. Second or third 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.920 play of the game, seventy one yard touchdown by McCaffrey, 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.800 and you know, I kind of I kind of give 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.480 that a little to some youthful xuberants and and you know, 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.600 in a in a defense that's still trying to figure 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.320 out where everyone's at. Uh. But then after that they 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.920 I think they held Carolina. I want to say the 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:33.880 twenty three yards uh of offense prior to their last 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.920 that last drive that they scored their touchdown on, so 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.000 they they rallied from that and played pretty good. But 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:44.360 these big plays on defense, um, they gotta find a 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.560 way to gotta find a way to stop. You know, 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:51.120 if you make a team driven twelve thirteen four team 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.280 plays down the field and they score, well they just 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.160 they just wore you down. But you know, on a 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.480 seven one yards on a play for a touchdown, you 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.520 know you can't start a game like that and then 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.400 try to spend the rest of the night climbing yourself 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.600 out of at all um assignments I heard over the 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:12.240 last couple of days. Assignments technique guys are supposed to 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:17.360 pinch plays in aren't there crossing round a basic fundamental 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.800 crossing route to a tight end. Catches a ball, I 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.919 thought it was a broken coverage, only to find out 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.040 Ray Kwon, who's seen at a zillion times in practice, 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.800 didn't pick it up. That's his guy to lock onto 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.600 and he's looking back at cam and picks it up 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.600 too late, and the guys running full speed and he 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.440 can't catch up and the guy runs easily in the 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.800 end zone. Some of this stuff boat As got had 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.320 cleaned up. Safety is a step late coming up to 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.120 fill in holes after they see it's clearly a run 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.920 can't be late coming up. So there's a lot of 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.120 different things I gotta get cleaned up. I'm not saying 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:55.399 it can't happen. And in the first two weeks time 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.600 un hey both, this is a huge week man, because 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.679 you gotta get in the end zone. You're right, Ryan 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.760 Tannehill got to get his guys in the end zone. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:07.440 And am Bo. There's a game plan. I'm not saying 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.840 they're putting in their Tennessee plan, but there's gonna be 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.600 some stuff to allowing some opportunities and maybe some audibles 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.400 and stuff like that that you hope we get to 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.320 see more. Ryan's played almost three quarters of football haven 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.040 and and he and and look, and he's gonna play 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.560 this week. And he's gonna play. Look, I I you know, 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.520 you're in a You're in a I think coach Gays 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.639 is in a in a situation and the coaching staffs 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.760 in a situation where they got to kind of look 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.120 at their and I'm looking at well, it's it's past 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.920 the three week time now, but you know we're we're 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.480 less than three weeks to the season opener on September nine. Um, 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.960 and you know that game, you you had three weeks 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.480 prior to that, so you got a jam as much 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.000 as you can in and Joe here, Here's the dilemma 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.200 that I think the coaching staff is facing going into 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.240 this game is that you've got a lot of young 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.480 guys that are gonna play on this team. You got 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.960 you know, certainly Minko is gonna play on a play 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.000 a lot of snaps. Uh Baker is gonna play a 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.320 lot of snaps. Ray Kwan is gonna play a lot 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.560 of snaps. Um offensively, Gaseky is gonna play a lot 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.160 of snaps. Mike is gonna play a lot of snaps. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:13.720 All these guys are gonna play a lots a lot 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.760 of snaps when you're gonna give him, when you're gonna 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.160 give them meaningful snaps. If you don't play a lot 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.440 those guys a lot in game three here and now 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.240 going along with those guys, I think Ryan needs to 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.680 play more. I think that offensive line needs to play 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.279 more together. Certainly defensively, that first unit needs to play 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.440 more together. So I think you find yourself in that situation. Look, 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.520 do I play these guys a full three quarters of 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.279 this game? Maybe encroach some guys into the fourth quarter, 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.680 because man, we gotta get ready. If you're gonna go 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:46.040 buy that normal theory of preseason games and not play 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.080 any of those guys in game four, right bo I, 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.400 we're gonna play some young guys. They're they're gonna play 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.520 good or bad. There's gonna be some growing pains. I 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.359 think we all understand that, but we just things got 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.520 to get cleaned up and bow. One of themes from 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:04.160 last year is the penalties. We actually had a touchdown 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.039 call back. Quietly, why everybody's talking about the great field 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.720 position off two dolphin takeaways that they're set up on 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.159 Caroline is nine and eleven yard line or nine and 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.240 twelve yard line, but you come away at two field goals. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.800 Then you get a sack from behind, forced fumble, pick 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.200 it up, you're running back for a touchdown. You got 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.560 a penalty on Chase Allen in the middle there, so 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.360 both it could have been twenty one and the easiest 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.440 point shore ever again to gain. Yeah, well, look, you 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.240 you're like you said, you know, you get the interception 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.360 from X. You're at the nine yard line and Joe 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.440 and We've talked about this a little bit on the 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.719 way back. You know, I've seen there going, man, you 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.320 know what, this is what you got sick you for 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.880 and and maybe you don't want to show it, maybe whatever, whatever, 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.720 I gotta see it. You know, you get him a 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.800 get the red zone, you the nine yard line, and 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.400 then they have penalty holding that that brings them back. 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:57.120 And I think that two penalties in that in that uh, 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.080 in that drive to leg into a field goal, they 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.640 have to delegate. And by the way, they have two 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.960 delayed games. They just didn't call the second one. And 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.360 so I'm just sitting here shaking my hand. How can 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.680 you get the ball in the nine yard line and 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:14.160 proceed to go backwards and backwards and backwards and end 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:15.919 up with a measly field goal, and then do it 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.159 again when you get the ball at the eleven yard 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.800 I think I think that's the if you're looking at 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.040 the top of the frustration list, that's it right there. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.920 You just got great field nobody in preseason and get 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.360 better field position and those two drives were talking about, 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.839 and you come away with two field goals of kicking 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.760 content and Joe. Not not only that, but you go 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.240 back to preseason game number one with the first year 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.160 and only played a series writing threw at six passes 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.000 that day or whatever, and then this one they've moved 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.800 the ball, Joe. They move on. Now. Now Ryan's not 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.320 throwing for big chunks, he doesn't have the big you know, 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.160 yard to catch numbers there, but moving they're moving the ball. Man, 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.360 that offensive it's coming. They're getting a line quick, you're 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.720 getting out. They're throwing the ball. Well, we're writing that 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.479 right down the field, and all of a sudden and 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.960 you get hit with that penalty, and that first penalty 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:08.000 leads to you know, leads to something else, and you know, yeah, 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:09.880 I hate to be a guy who continues to harp on. 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.040 I've been harping on it for three years now, since 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.880 since Coach Gay's got here about penalties, and it just 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.880 they they talk about it. They've got officials out here, 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.040 they're running gas ers after they're doing all this. None 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.640 as ships working, Joe, you gotta find something else. Me, 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.960 I'm just talking for myself, talking for myself, and I'm 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.760 talking for a little old school me. I'm on that 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.760 practice field, a guy jumps off, get your ass out. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.640 Put someone in there that wants to play. To me, 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.640 there's gotta be some there's gotta there's got to be 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.480 a consequence to this. And to me, we'll we'll go 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.160 over when we get in the films. That's water under 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.360 the bridge as far as I'm concerned, you know, Bo, 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.200 it's uh the third and I heard Adam Gays talking 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.280 about this, and it's I've seen Adam. You're right, that's 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.120 a problem. Third and eleven, fourteen three. It's hard enough 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.960 on third down and three first, first and five. This 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.280 team is in that situation way too many times. First 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.120 and fifteen on offense, first and five on defense. It's 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.000 too much. It's got to get cleaned up Bow and 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.160 we talked about this last week. You gotta have a 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.120 really good football team to overcome now, you gotta you 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.160 got a superior team full of talent. This team got 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.040 to play clean football if they're gonna win games. I 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.080 think they're gonna win some games. I I don't happen 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.760 to think that. Yeah, I'm on the ESPN. They're the 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.120 worst team in preseason football. I've been watching some of 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.920 these games. Uh, you know, there's a lot of teams 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.520 really sloppy in preseason right now. Decide who's the best 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.079 and worst of the group. And and by the way, 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.720 who cares? You know, who cares? Who care? Who's the 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.280 best and the worst team in preseason? It all matters 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:50.520 that who's the best and the worst team at the 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.079 end of the year. That's right, That's all that matters. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.080 So you can look. I know they've got time to 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.680 fill in on their shows, and they've got so many 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.680 shows and a bunch of idiots on there. They've gotta earlier. 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.480 You know, I spent were in Carolina. I spent two 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.000 days basically hold up in my room, really not doing 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.280 much of anything, just watching watch a lot of ESPN, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.559 and boy, there are things I watched on ESPN. I'm 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.120 just shaking my head, shaking my head, going you you 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.559 gotta be kidding me, dude. They got way too much 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.280 time and way too many networks, way too many stations 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.720 to fill with some of the stuff that they're putting 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.680 on those shows. It's funny. I was in a hotel 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.439 room too, and and their big topic, you know, you're 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.960 looking the NFL ESPN show, So this would be good. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.880 Is Ryan Tannehill on bellage and if he has a 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.320 right to handle that, pulling him out and stuff? And 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.120 I'm listening to one former player and one wanna be 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:42.600 GM and I'm like, wow, that's a lot for Is 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:44.600 that the way you treat a rookie or not? Do 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.880 you take him out? Do you leave him in? Is 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.080 Ryan Tannehill have enough status? Has he done enough in 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.320 the league to do it? And I'm wow, Okay, hey, 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.200 look he's a quarterback of your team. I'm all for it, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.440 you know, I'm all for you know to me, Joe, 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.000 you you you're an offensive guy. Defense a little different 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.680 you got you know, you got some hot heads in there, 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:07.120 but offensively, I think it's it's i think pretty uniform 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.960 around the league. What's that quarterback stock stopping? You shut 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:14.520 you shut up? Quarterback talks, you'd be quiet. It's his huddle, 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.400 and he owns that huddle, and he manages that huddle 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.679 if he wants to throw somebody out. Look, that's one 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.560 of the problems I had with Brandon Marshall when Brandon 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.199 was here and Chad Henny, he's in Chad head, He's 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.840 here the whole time. I go, yeah, throws the ass 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.959 out of the huddle, tell Sperrauno you're gonna do it, 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.559 and tell him when you send him over there that 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.680 if you if you come out, go sit, you're ass 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.079 on the bench until Chad's ready to have you back 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.240 in there. Right, It didn't do it. So what happened? 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.959 So so he got into he got into his ears 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:42.640 and between his head, you know, in his head, and 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.880 you couldn't get him done. You know, I got no 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.480 problem and for that to be for that to be 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.520 a major topic of of the show, I I don't 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.959 get it. I to me again, I go back to 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.920 they got to take away too much time to there. 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.160 There's plenty of talk about in preseason football have to 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.520 worry about something happening in practice, four days earlier. I'm 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.280 with you, so anyway, So so that's where I mean. 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.640 So defensively, got to stop the big plays offensively that 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.120 the penalties are just and it look defensively the penalties 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.240 you're killing you too. Um. But but we've seen some 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.640 good things. I thought Jachim played well the other night. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.440 I thought I thought Albert Wilson did some good things 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.920 out there. Um, Kenyan Drake you know had something, you know, 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.640 run the ball with authority back there. We got a 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.800 lot of good things to go on. But you can't. 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.400 You can't build on him. You can't sustain and that's 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.800 that is frustrating, frustrating, and it's certainly gonna be frustrating 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.480 for everyone upstairs in that building. Yeah. I think Adam 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.560 Gates done a really good job of staying positive on 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.760 the same, which I get. I don't expect him to 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.079 go to the media every day and and sit there 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.079 and rip his team. He wants to get this thing going, 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.680 and he's talked about urgency this week and and playing 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.440 better football, and that's why he's got to treat it. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.640 But but they got they got cleaned some things up though. 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.080 I'm I think that's fair. Um, they got to clean 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.920 some things up. We've lost a lot of belief and 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.000 trust in this town with this fan baseball. I'm hearing 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:13.440 it every day. I'm reading it every day on text messages. Well, Joe, 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.080 you know, quite frankly, from from two games, what do 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.880 you what do you cling to? Well, what do you 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:19.560 what do you wrap you around? Arms around and say 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.920 this is gonna be a really good year for us. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.360 You know, I'm I'm in the I'm in the you know, 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.040 the last last few days for me. And when I 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.240 talk to people, what do you think, Well, you know 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.240 it's a young team. You know they gotta get going. 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.120 You got ray Kuonon McMillan and you got Jerome Baker. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.640 You got guys in here that look neither one of 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.960 them played in the NFL last year. You know, ray 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.280 Kwon was out, he didn't play the whole season. So 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.680 you got two young guys in there next to each other. 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.560 They have played very little football in this league, and 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.439 and and less football at game time, in game time situations. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.439 It's gonna take them a while to get up to 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.680 Speed's gonna take them a while to understand. And you 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.960 don't think that those guys adrenaline pump is going into 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.360 at at a high pace right now. So not not 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.120 only are they trying to see things that are going 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.360 really fast, but they're all jacked up trying to trying 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.840 to get there as fast as they can and sometimes 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:13.120 overrunning where they're supposed to be. Both you're potentially looking 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.840 when you throw Rakue in as a rookie, because he 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.240 is he didn't play at all last year. You got 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.600 four twenty two guys that are like, hey, guys, sorry 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.120 to do this to you, but you guys got to 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.320 catch up fast. We need you, we need your upside now, 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.480 and so we need the process to speed up. But 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.480 I want to give up. I'm hearing people ripping re quon. 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.160 I'm like, can't give up on re kuon that play 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:40.439 he made on that screen that was my teaser of like, okay, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.479 I get it, and so there's some good thing. Get sicky. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.480 I got teased enough out here. I'm giving the coach 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.800 the benefit of the doubo and I'm like you they 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.559 get down the red zone, whether they flex them out 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.400 or keep them inside, i want to see me the 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:58.200 running seam round in the back face and I'm gonna 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.199 give coach the benefit of the doubt that he's got 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.600 something big plan coming up that you're not just gonna 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.360 forget about. How athletic coach seeing this up close, how 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:11.040 good he's but with frustrating Joe's you can hold that 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.160 all you want until the regular season. But but you 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.320 gotta try it. You got you gotta do. You know, 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.800 you've got to give the kid to me. You gotta 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.760 give the kid the opportunity. Look good. Example of the 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:27.400 week before, Right, he runs a nice little route, probably 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.320 probably breaks it off too soon, right, probably got out 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.160 of it, you know, but but have the guy beat? 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.640 How does guy beat completely separation? And then you know 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.000 the ball is a little high. But you know Alicia 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.360 at Leicsia saw him run erroute and get a chance 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.080 to and he was in position to make the play 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.960 ball just a little high. But you know, once once 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.760 it's not enough. I mean, I wouldn't you like to 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:52.840 see him get between now and September nine at least 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.640 four opportunities in the end zone. I get to talk 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.680 for myself, That's what I'm talking for myself, for my 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.640 off getting preseason and having a chance my rookie year 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.120 to catch a lot of footballs played a lot with 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.520 Woodley was my quarterback and were roommates and and so yeah, man, 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.760 I got a chance in preseason to catch a lot 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:14.680 of footballs, and so I thought that was a big 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.760 help you right into the season, many right in within 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.480 a few games into it, where I had a little 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:24.720 bit of confidence. And I think that's important, Um I 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.560 I do. I thought the same thing with Davante. He 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.440 ends up he's gonna come back with no catches in preseason, 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:36.280 very few that we saw on his few opportunities. So, hey, Davante, 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.120 good luck, be ready to go, whether you're back for 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.720 a week one or week two. Uh. Good the good 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.520 news this week Kenny still should be back in an 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.440 opportunity play again. This week, we'll get to see more 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.720 with Danny Amandola out there. Uh. And continue to watch 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.800 these receivers. I think that's gonna be that's gonna be 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.560 pretty interesting battle right down to the to the final 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.040 cut at the back end of the back end of 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.400 the receiving group. Yeah, I'll tell you what. That front group, 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.040 with the way Grant played and a guy that's gonna Wilson, 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.640 Albert Wilson is is being really good. I feel pretty 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.480 good about that that old group and you know what, ball, 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.160 I'm starting to look at Danny Ammondola and he may 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.560 have a few more catches if he stays healthy. Then 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.920 then I thought, originally with all the things he can do, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.240 and after talking to him in that meeting that we 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.160 had last week, things that they're working on, very technical 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.040 things where the ball is going to be thrown according 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.000 to where it is, I was like, wow, I'd say, 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.320 that's Joe, you're any concern You look at that that 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.200 group and uh, you look at that receiving corps. They're small. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.240 That's a small group of kids that's there. Who were 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.120 the Smurfs and the fun Bunch and on that three 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:48.120 guys lined up last week. I'm with you, man, and 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.640 there's some little guys. When we were talking to Danny said, 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.640 you guys, you know you have He says yeah, yeah. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.400 We look around at each other, go yeah, we were 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.360 a little little miniature out here. You know, we may 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.160 have to get the ruler out and try to figure 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.440 out the size of those three guys. Good, good effort, 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.640 guys and good and I think that certainly is gonna 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.520 be be a bright spot. And you know, it looked 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:11.600 it's it's easy for fans now to be crying what 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.720 was us? It's gonna be another long year. But but 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.280 you know, and I was talking to a guy last night, 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.480 I said, look, you gotta let you gotta let this 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.520 preseason play out. I've seen. I remember. I remember sitting in, 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.680 uh sitting a training camp watching the New England Patriots 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.240 one year when they had a really good team. And Uh, 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.160 I was sitting in with most scary of my defensive 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.359 line coach, just watching some tape of them, uh during 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.720 a during a preseason, and UH, I'm watching and I said, Coach, 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.040 I said, I don't know who can beat this team. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.120 I said, they were just rolling over people in the preseason. 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.560 You know. They had Russ Francis and that whole Mike 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:55.479 Mike Haye play, Sam Hunt, the big linebacker, and they 0:17:55.520 --> 0:18:00.119 had a big fullback from USC, Sam Cunningham. They they 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.560 were a load of that football team. And I'm sitting 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.960 there and like, look at what I said, mon, who's 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:06.800 gonna beat this team? He goes, wow, you know, it's 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.240 just a preseason. I go, yeah, but they're they're there 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.160 crushing people. Then they're winning seven eight games, you know, 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.480 so you can't what what you see in those four 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.560 preseason games. You know, it's it's it's hard to say 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:23.080 that's that's what you're gonna get because there's a lot more. 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.320 First of all, they're not game planning, game playing a 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.840 little bit this week, you're not playing with the normal guys. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.040 You're you know, you rarely do you get your units 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.800 together the exactly Look at Frank Gore. Frank Gore may 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.520 get a couple of carries this week, and I know 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.720 Adam doesn't want to give any carries, but yeah and 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.040 so so so how do you factor him into that 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.119 offense and where it fits if you see him with 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:47.280 three carries in the preseason. That's the other thing, bo Is, 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:50.280 I think to a lot of these coaches, they're moreried, 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.159 more worried about I'll live with russ and sloppiness. I 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.480 want my guys healthy. Well I don't you know, everybody's 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.000 different on that, but you don't want to get key 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.760 guys play at all. And I think that I think 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:06.280 that's a league wide sentiment. I think league wide, most 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.640 core the majority of coaches now in this league are 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:13.760 are are more concerned with having there they're their top 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:19.160 fifty three guys on on on opening day. Um, and 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.520 then they're losing them to injuries by playing them too much. 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.960 And its sindergon Jesus, who wouldn't have done that. I look, 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.720 I you know, watched uh watch the First Hard Knocks 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.159 the other night, and Hugh Jackson, he's he's afraid to 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.760 let anybody play. It seems like his coaches are bitching, 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.080 we are working. He's going, hey, listen, I've been where 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.239 you are. I understand, but I'm here and I need 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.359
