Slash coronavirus and we go ahead and kick 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.800 off this Friday, August one edition of the Drivetime Podcast 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.440 with the morning audio from Brian Flores ahead of practice. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.600 As he starts off before the Q and A session 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.320 begins with some news on a couple of Dolphins veterans, 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.640 Um and cab On Frasier. They won't be a practice today. Um, 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.640 they're both out with you know, kind of personal for 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:01.400 personal reasons. I'm not going to elaborate more that, um, 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.080 but just so you guys know when you don't see 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.880 him out there, UM, you know, personal reasons. They're both. 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.200 They both I won't be a practice of it. And 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.040 Coach would go on to say that he's not going 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.720 to discuss those matters any further. They are personal matters 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.160 with both Bryan Fitzpatrick and Cavan Fraser, so respect the 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.400 fact that they are personal matters. He did feel a 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.000 couple more questions about it, though, and he discussed it 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.400 a little bit more at length, although telling us again 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.560 not going to discuss them in too much detail. But 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.040 he did respond to a question about Jake Ruddock, who 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.080 came in for a workout earlier this week. But Jake, 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.919 you know, government for a visit you. We'll just see 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.200 where that goes. Having signed, you know, having signed him. So, 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.520 but that's kind of, you know, just standard operating procedure. Um, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.040 say a look and see where guys are, just from 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.440 a roster management standpoint, so from the offensive side over 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.320 to the defensive side. Coach was asked about his evaluation 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.840 so far early on in your number two for Dolphins 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.079 outside linebacker slash eds slash linebacker plays a lot of 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.120 possessions Andrew Van Ginkle, last year's fifth round pick out 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.359 of Wisconsin. Here's coach on Andrew Van Ginkle. Yeah, well, 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.239 you know, you know, the first thing I'd say is, 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.880 you know, he's tough, he's smart, he loves to play. Um, 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.880 he's got some length, he's got some straight line speed. 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.320 He's gotten stronger over the you know since we got him, 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.840 So he's made a lot of improvement. Um. You know, 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.240 he played, you know, at the end of the season 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.880 last year. UM, so he's got some playing experience under 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.240 his under his belt. Not a lot, but he understands 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.840 the speed of the game and you know how strong 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.919 the player's art in this league. And you know, he 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.799 worked worked extremely hard in the offseason trying to make 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.200 that you know, first to second year elite. Uh. He's 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.040 had a good a few days so far. It's still early, 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.200 but he's taking advantage of his opportunities and hopefully we 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.000 continue to see that type of improvement up next. Coach 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.119 was asked about the quarterback competition beyond Ryan Fitzpatrick since 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.760 he won't be out there for practice on Friday. And 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.480 if you ask coach a question like that, he's gonna 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.520 bring it back and talk about the entire football team 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.080 because it is a fifty three man or this season, 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.360 fifty five man job. You have to get done on 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.600 Sundays throughout the course of the week. So he's gonna 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.120 talk about his entire football team. But he did go 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.800 in depth a little bit on how the Dolphins brass, 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.400 the coaching staff and the personnel people in the front 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.720 office spends the day off trying to find ways to 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.840 improve the football team. They obviously evaluate this stuff every 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.880 single day, the strength the weaknesses. Here's coach Flora's talking 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.520 about how they can try to get better every single day. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.880 We're just trying to take it one day at a time, 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:27.120 get better, uh improve, see where we're Uh, you know 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.520 what the strengths and weaknesses are on the team, and 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.920 that's a lot of the conversation. We have one our 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.359 days off and try to see what we can make 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.200 improvements with each individual and obviously trying to improve each unit. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.440 You know, whether it's nickels to dime defensively to our 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:46.480 base package, defensively to our eleven twelve, you know, personnel 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:51.520 groups offensively, and punt team and kick off return really 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.159 every phase. So uns where we're at. You know, everyone's 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.080 trying to improve, get better, and I think those guys 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.720 are doing a good job. Rosen is doing a good 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.080 job too, is doing a good job. But I think 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:02.360 a lot of guys that a lot of positions are 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.440 are making some progress. And here's coach talking about his 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.440 expectations for the quarterbacks every day, especially the young ones, 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.840 as they try to improve and increase their level of 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.919 knowledge and the offense and get closer to where the 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.760 coaching staff wants them to be for the start of 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.560 the season. Um, you know it's it's it's a new offense. 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.359 So you know the area's improvement right now? Are you know, 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.640 kind of honed in on on that? You know, so 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.680 communication in and out of the huddle. Uh, you know, 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.520 two minutes obviously an important part of the game. You 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.880 know a lot of what happens in two minutes. It's 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.839 it's quarterback driven. So how many time outs do we have? 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.200 How much times on the clock? Uh? Do we need 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.039 to stay in bounds? We need to get out of bounds? 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.880 You know, those are things that we're saying in Uh 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.200 that chance is gonna be saying to him in the helmet, 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.880 but you know, quarterback needs to know that, um and 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.640 kind of have a feel for all those things, you know, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.960 without being told. You know, so essentially they end up 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.279 becoming the coach on the field. So, um, you know, 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.320 improvement in that area for all quarterbacks, you know, frozen, 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.960 I mean there young so Rosen's Rosen jump. You know, 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:03.599 you could say, you know, he's got two three years 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.279 on but he's still a young player. Uh, the same 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.720 as to us. So, um, you know two minutes, you know, 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.560 red area, when the when to make to try to 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.719 you know, make the big throw versus uh, you know, 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.360 take the check down. And you know we talked about 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.680 that this morning. Just your decision making, you know, is 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.080 it is it based on your read? Is it based 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.480 on matchup? Is it based on the situation. You know, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:28.880 we may just need to feel going, may just need 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.200 five yards and your guys wide open down the field 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.280 on the sideline. I mean, you know, those are decisions 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.839 quarterbacks got to make. So those are kind of there's 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.480 a lot there and I probably went an overboarder on 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.000 the question, but I'm looking for a lot. I think 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.200 every every coach and you know, at every level is 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.320 looking for the same things. And that's what we're looking 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:50.960 for leadership. We're looking for communication, looking for someone's making 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:56.240 good decisions, h consistent, consistently making good decisions. I think 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:57.880 one of the things we can expect from a coach 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.200 flora has lead team and a coach Flora's staff is 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.080 that they're gonna find ways to put guys into uncomfortable 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:07.040 situations and prepare for really the unexpected. And so when 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.960 a situation occurs where maybe you know, a quick turnover, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.760 something quickly happens in the game, or you have to 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.680 get back up there, get back on the field and 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.720 get ready to go back in there, you're ready for it, 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.640 and you're you're comfortable with the uncomfortable. And I talked 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.800 about this on the podcast the other day. I practice 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.480 when they broke down from the team period into a 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.480 field goal period, and after the before the first play 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.560 of the field goal period, they sounded the horn once 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.760 again and had the team rush back over to team 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.000 period again. And just a good opportunity to see how 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.680 guys respond to situations that they didn't know We're coming 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.880 ahead of them, so surprised the guys put them in 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.240 situations where they have to think critically and always be 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.040 on top of your toes with the quizes and that 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.160 type of thing a Brian Flora's staple. And here's coach 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.200 talking about the evaluation of players without the benefit of 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:52.960 having preseason games this August. I mean practice, so you know, 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.640 we we we you know, we evaluate practice, but at 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.480 the same time, you know, you just never know when 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:03.480 the lightbulb goes off for for you know, coaches, players, writers, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.360 you know, you just I mean, I think it's you know, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.720 different for everyone. UM. And he's had some a lot 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.800 of good moments so far, so you know, we'll just 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.520 kind of see how it goes and keep continue to 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:17.120 get better and experience helps for sure. UM. But like 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.160 you said, we don't have the preseason games, and but 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:25.240 we'll try to you know, uh, create situations to see 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.760 whether or not you know that decision making processing, UM 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.800 is where we needed to be, where he wants it 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.280 to be, and you know he's putting the work in 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.720 to do that. So are all the quarterbacks. And I 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.359 know we've spent a lot of time on the quarterbacks, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.760 but it's really you know, each player in each position. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.600 UM that he their coach is referring to was Josh 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.360 Rosen Here he is talking about the rest of the 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.640 positions outside of the quarterbacks. From a situational standpoint and 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.000 decision making standpoint, everyone's got to make good decisions on 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.920 the field, communicate and and uh, you know, try to 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.760 put this team in the best position to string good 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.200 places together. Stay and kind of on that theme. And 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.040 on that topic, here's coach talking about trying to simulate 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.080 game situations with a scrimmage atmosphere and his team portion 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.200 of practice and whether or not the Dolphins will have 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.760 scrimmage is going forward from here up until the start 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.720 of the season. I mean something we talked a lot about. Well, 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.400 you know, I try to use every team period as 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.320 a scrimmage. I think when you I don't know if 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:23.160 you're alluding to like live tackling on things of that nature. Um, 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.320 that's something we talked about. You know, we may or 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.320 may not do something like that, but I think there's 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.480 a lot of that goes into it. Health of the team. 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.240 Whether or not we we feel like we need to 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.320 do that, we probably do. Um, but you know, what's 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.400 the right setting, what's the right time, and they get 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:43.200 all that done. So it's it's an ongoing conversation. It's 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.720 when we've had what we're ready to do that right 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.319 now today you know we'll see you guys will be 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.800 out there and we were out there for practice. Let's 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.360 go ahead now and turn it over to the practice notes. 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.600 As you can find up on Miami Dolphins dot com. 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.720 The top news of the day as well here on 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.880 the podcast, and we dive back into the first day 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.640 back after a player day off, and the defense was 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.280 hungry and got after it on Friday's practice. The takeaway 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.679 board that we heard Eric Roe reference earlier in the 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:14.120 week is definitely gonna have some added points after this practice. Interceptions, sacks, 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.600 plenty of big plays for the defense before we get 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.640 into the team period of the practice though, watching some 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.400 of the work down on the field during the pre 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.600 practice portion, I was trying to get an eye on 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.000 the far field and take a look at the defensive 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.000 backs go through their warm ups, and I really noticed 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.200 what Nick Needham was doing. I've talked about him a 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.320 lot in the past with the smooth feet. We heard 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.760 that comment about Flores and boy, you're talking about him 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.920 last year. You know quote this kid from U TEP 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.800 might be pretty decent, which actually means he's pretty good 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.960 to end that quote. And I think he's continued to 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.360 have a solid camp so far, and he definitely works 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.560 hard at it. Not money balls coming his way. He 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.880 was doing some good work and mirroring and pressed and 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.280 kind of getting his hands and feet aligned. He definitely 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:52.959 puts a lot of time in an effort into this thing, 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:54.679 and I think it showed up a little bit so far. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.400 The first week in training camp, Matt Brito was working 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.880 at law on downing punts inside the five yard line, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.720 and later in practice Brita nil one dead right at 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.840 the one yard line. So I really enjoy watching the 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.120 way these events unfold. You see the guy's drill a 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.680 technique in the pre practice or in the individual drills, 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.880 then it pays off later, just like we talked about 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.920 earlier this week with Bobby McCain in that pedal transition 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.760 role on the special show that debut on YouTube last night, 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.440 the Training Camp Special. Little shameless plug for you guys there, 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.200 go check that out on YouTube or Miami Dolphins dot com. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.920 I kept an eye on Michael Dieter and Keaton Sutherland 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.480 getting some work in before practice, as they were very animated, 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.360 lots of hand gestures and simulated reps out there getting 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.600 into past sets. One of our camera crew guys told 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.880 me it's pretty common with this team in general that 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.400 guys are engaged down there talking about different things like techniques, 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.679 how to deal with certain looks of the opposition might 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.959 throw at them throughout the course of practice. Communication things 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.080 like that. It goes back to what coach Flora said 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.640 about finding guys who want to be here, guys who 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.120 think that football is very important to them, and it 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.199 shows in the practice field. They were working on the 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.640 pedal and transition drill once again we talked about that 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.199 with the defensive backs. They have to get dept then 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.120 sprint to the sideline, and my goodness, Brandon Jones has 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.640 some closing speed in that area. I saw him flag 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.560 one down from the far hash, coming all the way 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.840 over to the near sideline, and it looked like he 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.480 was just absolutely moving out there to get to that football. 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.600 Watching the quarterbacks a little bit in the individual drills too, 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.000 was throwing the ball really well, and that drill I thought, 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.280 very smooth delivery, very accurate, very on time. But we'll 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.400 get into the team period here in just one moment 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.120 and one thing I liked. I saw that he was 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.840 throwing some passes down around the goal line on air 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.760 and Shan Gailey comes over and asks him to work 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.720 on a different arm angle on a particular plays basically 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.160 like a slip screen where you want to get the 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.760 ball out right away, anticipate a rush coming up the 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.880 middle and just throw it out to the receiver right away, 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.160 basically a blitz beater, and he had to kind of 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.000 drop the arm angle down around the hip and just 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.400 throw it out quickly fading away from the defense. It's 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.560 a quick set up, a quick side arm sling as 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.480 he fades back, and he did it no problem, no 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.040 questions asked. That was cool to see. Then I avert 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.240 my eyes back over to the wide receivers who are 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.000 working on releases up against the defensive backs. A little 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.720 bit of one on one situation there always fun to watch, 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.600 and Isaiah four really caught my eye once more. He's 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.559 just good in all these areas of his game right now, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.920 I think playing some really good football. Some of his 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.720 releases at the line were just so smooth. You really 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.839 watch him work the leverage and fight hard to get 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.360 to the defensive back stacked on the route. That's where 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:16.920 you get on top of the dB, so there's no 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.400 leverage either direction. It really sets up well for the 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.679 break or makes it difficult to go through the receiver 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.480 if the ball is deep. He does that very very well. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.600 One thing you also want to see, and we talked 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.880 with the Vanta Parker in that week's seventeen game last 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.560 year is to chase the blind spot. The cornerback can't 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.439 cover what he can't see, and if you can get 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.320 them into a position where their back is turned to you, 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.600 their head is turned around, and you work that break 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.480 and go to the blind spot, it's just gonna be 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.880 bad news for the defensive back. And Ford was also 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.240 doing that very well in these one on one drills. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.120 Another player that did well in the drills and in 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.440 the practice in general was rookie cornerback Noah Igbnogamy. We 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.760 talked about him not having not a bad day last Wednesday, 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.040 but just some guys making plays over the top of him. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.960 Preston Williams Vante Parker, two guys that have proven they 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.120 can make plays in this league. Well, he bounced back 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.959 in a big way on Friday, I thought. And it 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.160 started off and the one on one drills, he chucked 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.160 the receiver so bad on one rep they had to 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.160 restart the rep and do it all over again because 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.839 he was so physical, basically ruined the entire rep from 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.480 the start. That's a good thing. Parker and Jones then 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.360 matched up, and man, this continues to be the heavyweight 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.960 fight of training camp. So far from me. Every step, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.800 every arm bar, they challenge each other for every inch 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.920 and every blade of grass out there. It's just fun 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:25.760 to watch those two guys go out there and compete. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.080 Going back to the drill where Nediham was working on mirroring, 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.080 it paid off for him and the one on one drills. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.400 A receiver tried to put several moves on him at 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.680 the line of scrimmage, but he never flinched, just stayed 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.840 true to his technique, stayed in line, and really won 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.720 that rep verywell. I thought that was good to see 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.280 him apply again the drills to the portion where you're 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.600 going up against players in competition. Then I get my 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.080 eyes back over to the offensive line and defensive line 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.560 in the pit, still my favorite drill and all of football. 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:50.280 And they were working a lot on the two on 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.600 two action, executing some games up front. We've heard Flores's 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.600 talk about that. We've broken down the film on that 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.760 with some stunts, pick stunts, slants, twist that sort of thing, 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.720 and up first was the and of the day for 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.360 my money. Probably the man of practice so far off 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.600 training camp, Emmanuel Ogba. He's winning pass rush reps at 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.960 an alarming rate. So far, and he's getting them on 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.120 anyone and everyone that goes up against him, including some 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.200 guys that are having a lot of success against pretty 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.760 much everybody else they see except lines up across from them. 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.720 We've seen that down here before, pass rusher who just 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.160 gets after it. The great part about that first rep 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.240 I saw him was he worked inside where he dipped 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.920 the upfield shoulder and used the weight of the offensive 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.560 lineman to help balance him and carry him to the quarterback, 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.960 and he just rode that into the backfield with a 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.080 ton of strength and quickness. Next rep, I saw Solomon 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.360 Kinley just stop a mack truck right in its tracks. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.440 I didn't see the rusher. I think it might have 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.040 been Benito Jones, it could have been Devon Gatcha On 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.080 not on certain but it was an impressive drop of 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.760 the anchor there for Solomon Kinley, who we know is 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.600 a big dude and can pass protect because of that 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.920 size and also his agility. And then back to the 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.920 two man game, I saw a really good rep where 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.640 Austin Jackson and Eric Flowers passed off a stunt optionally. Well, 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.760 it's good to see them have that communication. That's early 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.320 on in campus early on in the way they communicate 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.160 games up front on the offensive line up. Next had 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.040 Kyle van Noy really flattened nicely on a rap up 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.600 against Robert Hunt where he pushed up field and flattened 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.320 that corner for where I thought would have been a 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.000 sack if there was a quarterback in a real drill situation. There. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.840 Emmanuel Ogba once again gets back in there, this time 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.560 working inside on Shaq Calhoun. He gets the best of 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.560 that rep with a good powerful move inside. Zack Seiler 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.280 had an awesome rap where he stabbed outside then crossed 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.600 over the face of Solomon Kinley. I think Zack Seiler 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.640 has been a consistently good performer so far in training camp. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.280 The next driel went to Ogba and last in lined 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.400 up against Jackson and Flowers once again, and it was 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.240 kind of a cool looking rush move where they condensed 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.920 down together and worked up field, and then Ogba ripped 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.680 off the edge and flattened. An interesting looking game up front, 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.400 and once again ogbad lost and working so well together 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.240 and Ogba getting in the backfield with regularity. Then we 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.720 had Rae Kwon Davis, who just is impossible to get 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.800 locked up. He works around that shock the initial punch 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.920 of the offensive line and draws out of guys. Be 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.320 because he does have that length, and he looks really 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.439 really good out there executing the kind of stack them 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.600 up and then shed and work around them en route 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.359 to the quarterback. Saw him do that a few times 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.040 in this drill. Thought, Danny Isadora, a name we haven't 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.160 talked about a whole lot here on the podcast throughout 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.200 the course of training camp so far. Thought he did 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:16.720 really well on the drill, had a couple of big 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.400 wins inside as well. Then I peeked by eyes back 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.000 over to the receiver and defensive backs matchup and these 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.560 guys once again are getting after it. Preston Williams had 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.360 an awesome grab on a back shoulder throw in tight 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.280 coverage from two h These receivers, man, they're always giving 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.000 their quarterback a chance, even though the window is not open, 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:34.960 They're gonna give you a chance to make a play. 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.440 Tay Hayes got a note on him here. He competes 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.520 his butt off. He does not back down at all 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.120 going up against these guys like Devonte Parker, like Preston Williams, 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.159 guys that are much much bigger than him, and we 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:46.960 saw it last year at the end of the season, 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.520 allowed just three out of sixteen passes to go complete 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.480 when he got into the game those last two games 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.560 of the season. Byron Jones, this guy stays in phase 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.720 so well he does not take the cheese and he 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.320 also has the recovery speed if he does take the 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.320 cheese and gets faked out a little bit. We saw 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.439 the video up of Byron Jones and Jachem Grant a 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.880 juke moved from Jachem and Byron recovers and gets back 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.919 into shape. Just pure athletic ability. And you see that 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.880 in the on the field on practice as well in competition. 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.040 These quarterbacks again, they really were testing that back shoulder 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.040 throw and they hit a lot of them, but the 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.320 defensive backs would come back and get some revenge later on. 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.520 In practice, I saw one play where two a shot 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.240 a slant at the goal line down around the kneecaps 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.320 of the receiver, and that's a purposely located ball down there. 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.200 A tough catch to make, but you have to put 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.639 it there because if you go behind or high, the 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.320 defensive back can get in there and make a play 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.239 on it. So you want the receiver to slide down 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:37.919 to the goal line and make the catch, and he 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:39.920 did just that with Matt Cole for a very nice 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.600 touchdown in the one on one drills. On the next play, 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.040 it was a fade to Chester Rogers, and we saw 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.320 the quarterbacks working on this drill with coach Brown in 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.760 the middle of practice where he gives these guys so 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.959 much individual instruction every throw, every rep. He's drilling these 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.720 guys and really just taking advantage of every opportunity to 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.359 teach these guys something new on every play. And on 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.440 this particular drill, they were set level throws where Brown 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.359 would get himself into the hook zone, which were the 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.119 linebackers typically line up and try to prevent in crossing 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.600 routes from the receiver's out wide and he would make 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:10.960 himself big, so the quarterbacks would have to layer the 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.720 ball over that linebacker and underneath the safety and it 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.080 looked really good doing that. Now, this throw to Chester 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.800 Rogers was not the same as that throw, but it's 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:20.760 the same idea where you have to kind of layer 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.440 the football over the coverage. He layers a backpile on 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.240 throw that just goes over the cornerback's arm and Chester 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.359 Rogers makes a fantastic catch for a touchdown in that period, 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.040 and then finally we get into the team period. The 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.720 very first play, Preston Williams gets Byron on a hitch 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.000 route Byron Jones, that is and just one off the 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.480 line instantly, so patient in his release with explosion out 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.199 of the back end. It was about seven yards pre 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.560 catch and thirteen yards after the catch. He had a 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.480 big day as well, Preston Williams. He landed Roberts. This 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.040 guy continues to have a huge camp. He ripped through 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:51.840 his gap for what would have been a huge collision 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.000 in the backfield, but he lightens up because he's a 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:57.040 good teammate. He knows how to practice proper practice etiquette. 0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.240 But afterwards, after the play, he knew what he did, 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:01.240 so he went over to the offensive players and where 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.560 they kind of stand behind the line of scrimmage, and 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.280 he let them know about it. He let them know 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.400 that he was there, and I just think again that 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:11.480 fight is coming. Eventually with number defense, Shack Lawson gets 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:13.280 in for a sack on the left tackle. I'm not 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.800 sure who it was, but the play was extended after 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.520 the sack, and once again Preston Williams makes a great 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.080 catch in a crowded area. He and Parker make a 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.560 habit out of that right, saving their quarterback when maybe 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.040 there's not an open window, the cover just tight, they 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.320 make a catch. Accordingly, it's always nice when you can 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.040 get a win on defense and then come back and 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.000 still see something positive out of the offense. That's exactly 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.000 what happened here. Both Lawson and Preston Williams both made 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.960 plays on that particular rep, and on the next rep, 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.960 both de Van got Shaw and ray Kwon Davis formed 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.200 a wall in the middle to completely stifle a run 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.000 play for no gain whatsoever. I've talked about this a 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.320 lot on offense, and the same is true on defense. 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:51.280 I just think it's going to be so much better 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.919 on both lines, on the offensive line and in the 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.840 defensive front seven. So many resources and draft picks put 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.159 into that spot, both on offense and defense. And you 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.280 see it play out so far in training camp through 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.760 the first week. And as I say that, Miles Gaskin 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.600 shows you the wiggle and Shakespeare for a big gain 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.280 up against that defensive line up front. He's so smooth 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:11.040 the way he presses it up in there and then 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.240 can bounce in either direction. We saw it at you 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.760 dub We saw it highlighted a little bit last year 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.359 in that Bengals game, and now it's showing up again 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:22.000 here in training camp every day so far. I've got 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.240 Austin Jackson with another really solid day. He did really 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.080 well in the one on ones and from where I 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.800 could see, his side wasn't surrendering any pressure in the 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.199 team period. He also had a great seal block on 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:34.720 that big gas can run to the outside. And we'll 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.679 have one more note on Jackson here in just one moment. 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:39.919 I'm trying to kind of go through the course of 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:42.239 practice and go in order how things happened rather than 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:44.000 by position. I think it's easier to kind of keep 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:46.040 track of that way, So just bear with me. We're 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:47.600 gonna come back to some of these players and touch 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:49.800 on them later. The next player had to it with 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.760 a conversion on third down and five. Pressure arrived, but 0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:54.919 he kind of double clutched the football. They made a 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.199 perfect throw into a tight window right at the sticks 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.639 for a first down. But then the next play, a 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.920 big six Brian Borders has an interception on what looked 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:05.640 like might have been a miscommunication between two and the receiver, 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.000 but borders intercepts and takes it back the other way 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.600 for a touchdown. On the next play, Commu grug A 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:13.159 Hill blows up a screenplay for a loss. He was 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.480 right in the backfield. It looked very well set up, 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.240 but he knifed through there and got himself into the 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.760 backfield for a tackle. We haven't heard his name a 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:21.920 Ton yet on the podcast here in training camp, but 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.520 we will hear from him later. Hear from him later 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.800 in this podcast. Noah Igbnogeny had a curl route on 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.680 Preston Williams where he was really physical at the top 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:32.240 of the route and one at the top of the 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:34.440 route and he comes down and has a pick off 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.640 the hand of Josh Rosen, but he couldn't squeeze it. 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:38.800 It falls the turf. He has his hands on a 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:41.440 lot of football, is very very competitive, always in good 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:43.880 position there for the Dolphins first round draft pick there 0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.680 at cornerback Shack Lawson. Once again big day for him. 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:48.880 He had to play where he resets the line screenage 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.160 and forces Matt Breed it to bubble as a running 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:53.359 back in the backfield. He impacted the game both as 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.680 a rusher and run defender all day. On Friday, Jordan 0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:58.760 Howard has had a big run every single day of 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:01.280 practice so far and that can hinued on Friday where 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:03.320 he pressed inside and then kicked one out between a 0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:06.000 huge gap opened up by Solomon Kinley and doesn't get 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.919 contact until fifteen yards downfield. It was about to be 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.000 him on Bobby McCain in the open field. I wish 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:12.800 we could have seen that live, but of course we're 0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:14.520 not going to hit each other in practice like that 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.119 for no reason, but just an excellent jump cut. You 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:20.040 see the vision and that lateral side to side agility, 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.800 something coach students Phil talked about and the Thursday press 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.480 availability with the Dolphin's running back coach, they're talking about 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:28.760 Jordan Howard's vision and side to side agility. Next play, 0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:31.200 once again, it was Noah ig Banogamy up against Preston 0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:33.240 Williams and the ball was maybe a little bit on 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.320 the back shoulder of Preston on a slant route. But 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:36.920 Igbo gets in there and makes a play on the 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.320 football and broke it up again. He was all over 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:41.879 the field getting his hands on plenty of balls. Then 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.800 a big play alert to a big pass downfield. It 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.440 was a slow developing play to Jachim Grant who was 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.480 already pretty far downfield and behind the defender, and so 0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:52.320 I wasn't sure if the timing of it was off, 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:54.720 but he had the cornerback really well beat. Then two 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.280 us under threw it, probably intentionally at least I assume 0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.560 it was because it was about fifty yards down the field. 0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:01.320 But team comes back and makes a play on it 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:03.960 for a huge gainer for the Dolphins offense. Then the 0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:06.640 Dolphins have another miscommunication on the offense and the next 0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:09.040 play to tries to throw a fade, but Matt Cole 0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:10.919 runs a stop route and the ball just goes selling 0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:12.840 out of bounds over the top of both of them. 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:15.560 Nick need Um wasn't really good coverage there. Again, more 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:17.879 good work from Nick need Him on this day. This 0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:19.360 is kind of the day that it was. Every good 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:21.560 play of the offense had the defense would come back 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:23.560 and match it, and then some and they just really 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:25.880 got after it all day long. The team then broke 0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:28.840 it down back into individual drills. I watched some loss 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:31.520 in an og Ba together doing some hands and long 0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.879 arm work. They were really focusing on doing some positioning 0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.080 and placement drills and kind of trying to work their 0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:39.720 hands and arms as pass rushers. As far as a 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.159 new position duo goes, these two might be my favorite 0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:44.400 right now. To the guys I'm most excited about. They've 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.720 looked good all week long. On the interior of the 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:49.600 defensive line, both Zach Seeler and ray Kuan Davis were 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:51.919 working on the stack and shed drill, and again, this 0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:54.439 just looks so easy for Rake one. It kind of 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:56.760 reminds me when you put a donut on a baseball bat, 0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:58.520 then you take it off and the bat just feels 0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:01.280 a pound lighter. Everything he does looks easy. Then we 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.800 come back into the team portion and Parker dials up 0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:06.359 twenty yards from Josh Rosen a pivot route where Parker 0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:07.960 caught the football and turned it up for a nice 0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:11.359 run up the fard sideline. Again, Austin Jackson a great 0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:14.040 job to kind of draw out the force defender where 0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.760 he gets into a vertical set that's working straight back 0:25:16.760 --> 0:25:19.240 towards the quarterback in the backfield, and it forces the 0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:21.560 defender to come at him. He draws that bull rush 0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.040 and then just holds the point against that bull rush, 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:25.920 and I think it was Shack Lawson there too, so 0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:28.560 impressive work on a veteran pass rusher to create a 0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:30.880 nice run there from Matt Brita in the run game. 0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:33.359 Preston Williams then gets open on Byron Jones for a 0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:37.040 chunk game fifteen yards or so. Jackson again another awesome 0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.199 rep where he gets to his spot so quickly and 0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:40.960 stays in control of the rep. I thought he had 0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.960 a great day. On Friday, a landing Roberts finds himself 0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.879 in the backfield for another tackle for loss, an absolute 0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:49.760 well of a camp there for forty four. Brandon Jones 0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:51.800 then comes over again to apply that drill we talked 0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:53.879 about earlier from the near hash and breaks up an 0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:56.560 attempt to Chandler Cox on a wheel route from Tua. 0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.440 So really nice work there from the rookie safety out 0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:02.119 of Texas. To of then finds Ricardo Lewis on what 0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:03.760 would have been a big game coming over on a 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:05.840 cross roam, but the ball did not get squeezed, it 0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:07.880 hit the turf. He did so well, I thought too 0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:10.800 on that particular play to move suddenly in the pocket 0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:13.280 and create a platform to throw against pressure. And I 0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:15.800 think just in general, he's really moving pretty well out 0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:17.920 there so far, so that's a good sign. Ray Kwon 0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:19.719 Davis is a guy that doesn't get moved. A lot 0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:21.600 of these interior runs when he's out there are just 0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.440 futile attempts. He comes off the pile after a running 0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:26.800 play up the middle for no gain, celebrating big time, 0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:30.560 so getting himself involved. Miles Gaston has another big run, 0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:32.800 stretches it outside, cuts it back and it's off to 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:34.920 the races. He finished the run into the end zone, 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.080 so I think it was a legit touchdown from about 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:39.560 seventy five yards away. And then we get a big 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:42.200 play from Isaiah Ford who adjust really well to another 0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:45.600 or another intentional under thrown ball by Josh Rosen. A 0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:48.520 good throw from Rosen with Byron Jones and trail technique 0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:50.960 for about thirty thirty five yards. Jones popped up and 0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:53.960 showed some visible frustration after that play. Then we come 0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:56.520 back to Parker versus Iigbo battling for a deep shot, 0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.119 and Igbo did a really awesome job to locate the 0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:01.200 football and be the first one to play it. He 0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.720 kind of jumped back into Vante with his head turned around, 0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:06.199 so it's not p I, but it also prevents Davante 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:08.640 from elevating, getting after that ball and making the play 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.560 like he did all season last year. Very crafty work 0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:14.040 from the rookie there. Bobby McCain comes in clean for 0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:16.240 a sack. He blits off the offense his left side, 0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:18.480 gets himself into the backfield. He's done that before in 0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:21.360 his career, did it here again today on Friday's practice. 0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:23.560 And then we got our first red zone work of 0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:25.600 the week. And the first play was a screen pass 0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:27.920 that looked very well set up from Tua to Matt 0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:30.359 breed Up, but once again he land and Roberts beats 0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:32.440 all the offensive linement to the point and puts a 0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.240 shoulder on the back. He is absolutely everywhere. The next 0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:37.840 rap Byron Jones locked up Mike Kasicky very nicely on 0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:40.040 an end line throw. His ability against some of these 0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:43.120 bigger body guys Preston Parker and Gisicky has been fun 0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:45.240 to watch. Then we try a back pylon throw to 0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.920 Adam Shaheim, Brandon Jones in coverage very tightly. They're no dice. 0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:50.720 He had a good day to day. The rookie, Brandon 0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.480 Jones will hear from him in just one moment. Emmanuel 0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:55.600 Ogba gets in there for another stop at the line 0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:58.080 on a draw play and Commu Gruge Hill comes in 0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.600 and defeats a block. After the fact, Combo and Ted 0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:02.600 Carriss kind of had some pushing and shoving, but they 0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:05.040 worked it out and sorted it out afterwards. Myles Gaskin 0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:07.000 scores a touchdown from the six yard line where he 0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:09.359 powers through a goal line tackle. Then the next play 0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.840 he comes back and catches a football that was off 0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:13.720 of his body on a flat route, turned it up, 0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:15.520 made a guy miss at the goal line and scored 0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:17.879 a touchdown. We get two back in the game, and 0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:21.119 the offensive personnel smite Shaheen, Cox and Howard in the 0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:23.399 game at once. That is a ton of cargo in 0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:26.080 the offensive skill spots there. And once again we have 0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:28.200 another big play from the Lands and Roberts who comes 0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:30.240 into the backfield and blows up a running back I 0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:32.280 just wrote down He's a flat out monster. He's been 0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:35.280 awesome in training camp so far. A bas speaking of monsters, 0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:37.720 wins again with another sack off the edge. You pair 0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:40.120 that length of that first step quickness, and he really 0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:43.000 challenges offensive linemen to both be urgent but then also 0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:45.680 be privy enough to not overset and get themselves too 0:28:45.720 --> 0:28:48.240 far outside. He's just a lot to handle Rose and 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:49.960 checks him for the red zone and throws a touchdown 0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.840 pass to Jachim Grant for easy five yards. He was 0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:54.880 wide open on the play. And then we go back 0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:56.920 to the defensive side again and Kyle van Noy gets 0:28:56.960 --> 0:28:58.960 himself in there for a sack on what was a 0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:01.640 third down play to force a field goal. And that's 0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:03.239 just kind of how it was for the defense all 0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:06.160 day long. Domination on all three levels really had a 0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:08.440 big time day. We finished up with some two minute 0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:10.800 fireworks though two minute drill rather, and there were some 0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:13.240 fireworks involved in there. The very first play too, of 0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:15.600 finds Isaiah Ford for a huge game on a go 0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:17.960 pass down about thirty yards down the field. Then the 0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:20.560 next play he tries to chem Grant up the sideline 0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.760 and once again Noah Igbunagay getting right into phase, staying 0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:26.440 step for step, runs the route for Jachim, presses him 0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:28.720 to the sideline and gets an interception and spikes the 0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:30.680 ball down. He has been working for that all week 0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:33.600 long and he finally got one. Rosen comes in, Sam 0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:36.120 Maguavin jumps one and nearly gets his hands on a football, 0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:38.640 but he breaks it up instead. Now on the next play, 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:41.320 it is an interception for Tay Hayes. An awesome play 0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.320 by Hayes who stayed in the hip pocket of the 0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:46.160 receiver up the seam and played it perfectly. Ball a 0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:48.520 little bit behind, but Hayes was in great position to 0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:50.440 make a play on the football. We finished up with 0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:52.960 some field goalwork and Jason Sanders is money. I don't 0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:54.840 think I've seen him miss all week. He hit the 0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.560 cherry picker from fifty four yards out, which is located 0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:00.280 directly between the middle of the goal post. There about 0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:02.760 the four players that had the best practice for Emmanuel Ogba, 0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:06.840 Miles Gascony, Landed Roberts, and Preston Williams real standouts. And 0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:08.760 now we're gonna hear from three guys that talk to 0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:11.600 the media after Dolphins practice on Friday. As we hear 0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:15.200 first from Dolphins rookie defensive back in safety Brandon Jones, 0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:18.160 who talks about his versatility and how he's willing to 0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:20.520 do whatever it takes to get himself on the field 0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:24.800 on Sundays. Open to whatever gets to me on the 0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:26.680 field as fast as possible. And whatever I could do 0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:29.920 to help the team, whether it's a slot at nicole line, 0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:33.320 at hot safety, strong safety. UM, I'm just hearing to 0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:35.280 do what I can to make the team better at 0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:37.480 the end of the day. And UM, I have been 0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:39.960 been been working, you know, kind of everywhere. You know, 0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:41.720 our coach wants us to be able to be multiple 0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:43.880 and be able to play different positions because you never 0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:45.120 know what can happen at the end of the day. 0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:48.040 So I'm definitely been working. Kind of kind of prayer. 0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:51.000 So I talked to Brandon Jones twice this offseason, once 0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:53.680 after the draft and once for the Meet the Rookie series. 0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:56.000 He talked a lot about his off season regiment, how 0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:58.800 hard he works lifting weight, staying in condition. Here he 0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:00.920 is talking more about what he did this offseason to 0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:04.240 get ready. I'm really big on routine, So I was 0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:08.400 back in Dallas in Frisco most of the off season 0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:11.280 and kind of just stuck to a routine, the same thing, 0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:13.960 getting as much work as possible. Um. It's kind of 0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.280 hard when you're by yourself, especially during the quarantine, to 0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:18.360 get around with people. You have to stay six ft 0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:21.320 apart from everybody. So my biggest thing was obviously is 0:31:21.400 --> 0:31:25.080 Conditioning was a huge importance. I know, you know, lifting, 0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:27.480 getting strong is gonna come with it, but being in 0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:30.920 you know, physical shape, conditioning wise, was super important. Especially 0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:32.960 with this heat. It's this humidity is a lot different. 0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:35.360 I'm not used to. I'm still kind of just into it. 0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:38.880 I lose hell await every single day, so it's definitely 0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:41.280 new for me. But yeah, the biggest thing was just 0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:43.320 conditioning wise, and I think I'm in pretty good shape 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.040 for the most part. And now here's Brandon talking about 0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:49.320 playing inside the box, going up against pulling guards, guys 0:31:49.320 --> 0:31:51.600 that are much bigger than him to have him outweighed, 0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:53.280 and how he can bats that and uses what he 0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:55.840 can do best to help himself execute regardless of what 0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:58.480 job he's asked to do on this defense. You know, 0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:02.760 I really just kind of use my advantages and use 0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.800 my strengths and go get them obviously, you know strength, 0:32:05.840 --> 0:32:07.320 while as soon as I know in my head, as 0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:08.840 soon as they get me locked on, I'm done for. 0:32:09.000 --> 0:32:11.440 So I'm gonna try to do as much wiggle room 0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:14.400 using my speed, you know, get down. I'm shorter, a 0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:16.400 lot shorter than a lot of them, so I'm gonna 0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:17.800 get down as low as I can, try to make 0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.680 them bend, but uh, you know those points, those times 0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:22.920 are gonna come, you know, and screen passes or anything 0:32:22.920 --> 0:32:25.640 like that. You got guards, tackles pulling to come get you. 0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:28.200 Biggest staying our coaches to just stay alive at the 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:30.280 end of the day. You hear him talk about staying 0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:32.880 alive for any rookie. Part of staying alive is keeping 0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:35.520 your head above water with regards to the install of 0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:38.280 the defensive scheme what he's asked to do. Here's Brian 0:32:38.360 --> 0:32:40.640 John's talking about the first week so far, learning this 0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:44.000 playbook and getting this defense down, kind of getting comfortable 0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:47.440 in knowing knowing the next step. I think I'm really 0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:50.480 good at knowing once once we get a formation, what 0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:52.240 the call is and stuff like that, but kind of 0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:54.920 getting on the next level of knowing this gut motions, 0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:56.720 this is what we gotta go to, and just the 0:32:56.800 --> 0:33:01.000 overall important importance of fundamentals and techniques, uh that stuff 0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:03.040 you're planning a gets the best of the best each week, 0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:06.480 and you know, a bad step or anything like that 0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:08.200 can win or lose a game. So you've got to 0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:11.800 be very very critical of your fundamentals and techniques and 0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:14.720 just kind of knowing ahead of time what's next to happen, 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.440 if if this may occur in the situation, and from 0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:20.400 one rookie to another talking about the acclamation of coming 0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:23.280 into the NFL and learning this league in a weird offseason. 0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.040 Here is Malcolm Perry talking about the challenges of his 0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:29.200 rookie season so far through one week of padded practices. 0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:31.959 You know, it's a different level than college, obviously, so 0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:35.360 the attention to detail is so much higher. And uh, 0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:37.080 you know, I'm trying to trying to catch on as 0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:39.680 fast as I can and seeing things after the ball snapped, 0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:42.160 getting in the right spot and making sure you know, 0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:45.040 I'm going I need to be to making play successful. Um, 0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:47.120 it's just the little things right now and trying to 0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:49.160 trying to learn every day and learn from my mistakes 0:33:49.160 --> 0:33:51.800 and get better the next day. Hey, what's called on, Malcolm? 0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:54.120 Good to see you again, man. Um. Last time we talked, 0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:56.160 we went over your kind of daily schedule on daily 0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.320 routine there when you were at Navy. Now that you've 0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:00.280 been here at camp for a few weeks, I'm rious. 0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:02.920 How would you say that experience at college prepared you 0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:06.800 for the daily grind of the NFL. UM. I like 0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:09.000 to say it helped a little bit. Um. You know, 0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:12.080 I think my days are just as busy, but filled 0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:16.640 with football and not not any military stuff. So um, 0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:18.759 it prepared me in the aspect of, you know, having 0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:23.200 a big workload. Um, but it's all football, so um 0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:24.880 it's a little better in that, in that never go 0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:27.600 And the part of that you can't see on a 0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.680 podcast format obviously, is that Malcolm had a big smile 0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:32.839 on his face when he talked about the schedule being 0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:35.760 just as rigorous, but it's all football all the time, 0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:37.920 and he quite likes that. We'll finish up here with 0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:41.320 Malcolm talking about learning different positions across the league, across 0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:44.120 the offense, and how he is approaching that and taking 0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:45.920 all the advice he can get from the veteran guys 0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:48.600 here in camp. Um, I was extremely excited. You know, 0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:51.919 any opportunity to touch the field at any position, I'm 0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:55.239 I'm all for it. Um. So just getting out there, um, 0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:57.880 learning from the guys on the team that you know, 0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:00.239 play the same position. Um, you know, mirror in there. 0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:03.640 I'm seeing what they're doing, ask them questions and you know, 0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:05.799 trying to learn everything from them, their mistakes, what they 0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:07.879 do right and stuff like that, and try to music 0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:10.439 tone have been. And we finish up with our third 0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:13.360 newcomer to the Miami Dolphins this year, new linebacker Calmu 0:35:13.440 --> 0:35:16.320 grug A Hill. He's a veteran, he's been in this league, 0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:18.719 He's played under coach Flora's before. Let's go ahead and 0:35:18.719 --> 0:35:21.480 hear from Cammu on this first question about the video 0:35:21.600 --> 0:35:24.560 on two a tonguas. Was it Snapchat or Instagram? I 0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:26.680 don't know, but the two of them singing together. And 0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:28.279 then I had to follow up question about how the 0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:30.480 relationship with him and the rest of the guys are 0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:32.840 going so far in the building down here in Miami. 0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:35.000 I mean, I love it, man, I can't even lie 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:38.080 to you. It's it's awesome, you know. Um, For for 0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:41.439 a long time, I've been the only guy, um being 0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:43.560 from home, being so far far away from home. So 0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:46.080 having someone you know here with me that that kind 0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:47.760 of grew up the same way as me, it's awesome, 0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:49.960 you know. And we get to talk and joke a 0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:52.200 lot about how we grew up. And you know, it's 0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:54.719 even funnier because our high school even though he's a 0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:57.800 lot younger than me, but our high school's arrival high schools, 0:35:57.880 --> 0:35:59.560 so you know, we get to joke about that a 0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:02.279 little bit. Um. It's it's awesome. I love it good. 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:04.319 So that was my question too about the video with 0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:07.000 you and two. I won't comment on your guys vocal talents, 0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:09.239 but I am I am a little bit curious that 0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:11.239 you guys are getting along so well. Is that kind 0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:12.920 of the same vibe you have in the locker room 0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:14.759 in general? And if so, why do you think this 0:36:14.800 --> 0:36:19.560 team's personalities are meshing so well so early? Yeah, definitely, 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:21.360 I think you know this, This locker room is a 0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:25.719 young team. Um, everyone's hungry, everyone's um coming in, you know, 0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:29.239 and and wanting to work. And you know, I think 0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:32.239 it's it's it's easy when everyone's so young and around 0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:34.560 the same age and stuff like that for for the 0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:36.480 team to kind of have a lot in common. And 0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:40.480 it's just a real friendly, family oriented locker room. And 0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:42.600 speaking of family, next, you're gonna hear common you say 0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:44.480 that no one in his family has left the islands 0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:47.439 of Hawaii since he did it, basically, and it makes 0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:49.360 me wonder, why would you ever leave Hawaii? If you 0:36:49.360 --> 0:36:53.960 didn't have to. Yeah, Um, it's well, so always out 0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:56.400 in Philly for the last four years, which is nothing 0:36:56.480 --> 0:37:00.120 like back home, So being here is is definitely u 0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:03.760 you know, very similar. And you know, I was even 0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:06.600 in um, you know, drive around and I'm just like 0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:08.759 that kind of looks a little bit like how back 0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:11.600 home looks, you know, in certain certain areas. Um, and 0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:13.480 I just you know, I just love the tropical weather, 0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:16.640 warm weather. It's hard to beat. So it's not home, 0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:18.719 but I mean it's pretty close. And we finish up 0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:20.880 with a question about playing in this defense compared to 0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:23.360 what he played in Philadelphia and that defense, which we 0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:25.520 know have a lot of differences because we were here 0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:27.320 with Matt Burke a few years back and now Brian 0:37:27.360 --> 0:37:30.120 Flora's in Miami. Here's Commo on his early impressions of 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:33.319 the Dolphins defense under coach Flora's and coach Boyer. I 0:37:33.360 --> 0:37:35.680 think it's it's very different, but I love it and 0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:39.000 and it's a big reason why I'm even here. Um. 0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:40.960 You know, there's so many different things that we can 0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:43.319 do with with this defense, and it and it and 0:37:43.360 --> 0:37:46.480 it you know, it really keeps everyone very diverse and 0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:49.839 asks everyone to do multiple things. So UM, I mean 0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:54.560 that's that's exciting for me and and I'm it's very different, 0:37:54.600 --> 0:37:56.640 but I'm getting used to it and I'm loving it. 0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:58.960 And one more comment here from Comma about playing the 0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:01.959 past on defense has passed as a safety and moving 0:38:02.000 --> 0:38:04.480 up to linebacker later in his career. Just from my 0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:07.160 view of things is, you know, you go into a game, teams, 0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:09.960 teams are passed in the ball most times a game, 0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:13.479 you know, and it's um, I think there's a huge 0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:18.319 emphasis on unpassed and UM, you know, passing down so UM, 0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:20.960 I wouldn't say that it's more important, but I think 0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:23.719 guys are being asked to do more than you know, 0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:27.040 if you're not seeing the typical just you know, two 0:38:27.080 --> 0:38:30.560 hundred sixty pound backers anymore that are on the field 0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:33.200 for all three downs. So and our audio kind of 0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:35.440 faded out there towards the end, so I do apologize 0:38:35.440 --> 0:38:37.440 for that.
