They 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:11.760 had to get that touchdown on that play. They get it. 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.200 What is up, Dolphins? And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.120 part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:28.400 your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host, 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.720 Travis Wingfield, and as always I am here to bring 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.600 you your semi daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.919 on today's show, I've been working on this one for 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.480 a few weeks and it's gonna be lengthy. You probably 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.120 saw the time on this episode already, but it's gonna 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.200 be as informative as any Dolphins podcast You're gonna find 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.760 out there as we keep adding to the roster and 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.160 keep seeing this team get better, even in the month 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.840 of May, it's required updating. It's the post draft roster review. 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.720 We take a look at the roster position by position, 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.520 give you an interesting staff about each guy, talk through 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.240 the tape a little bit, and also cover some interesting 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.720 storylines and facts about the position group as a whole. 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.920 We'll go ahead and jump right in from the Baptist 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.120 Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:20.680 the Drivetime Podcast, alright, so the warning is out there. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.320 This is a longer edition of the Drift Time Podcast. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.399 Felt okay about it because we are right in the 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.240 middle of the off season, coming up on the dregs 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.800 of the off season. Love an o t a coverage 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.280 podcast for you guys on Wednesday and then again down 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:35.960 the road in a couple of weeks. But why don't 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.000 we go ahead and just kick this thing off here 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.319 with the quarterback position, and just real quick before we 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.000 do that, a quick disclaimer. These are my particular breakdowns, 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.640 my film study analysis. And also we are going in 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.240 order of jersey number, so when you hear a certain 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.440 player at a certain spot, don't freak out. We're going 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.320 in order of jersey number because we want to let 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.680 these guys compete on the field and find their spot 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.800 on the depth chart. That way, Let's get to the 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.960 quarterbacks and darting off with number one too, a tungo 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.720 viola as we go over our nine d man roster. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.800 And you guys know by now the traits that I 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.000 think make him stand out, the ability to get off 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.079 the spot, not just in a hurry when he sees it, 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.280 but with anticipation to feel that rush and to find 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.240 new avenues, recognizing where the weak spots might be against 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.640 a particular defensive look a rush package, and how to 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.079 find that vacant space where he can then get to 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.919 to operate from. And the numbers bear that out too, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.520 and we'll touch on that here in just a second. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.760 And then also obviously the ball placement. Pro Football Focus 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.840 has a quarterback accuracy measurement where they chart not just 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:40.000 completion percentage, but they chart location over actual completions and 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.120 the completions and two was top twelve and accuracy on 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.959 balls leading his guys as well as settling them down 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.480 into soft spots where you come back down the stem 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.480 where you go between his zone and also back shoulder location. 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.480 And we see that in practice too. Talked about it 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.320 on Wednesday last week on the podcast the Tuesday Practice 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:02.200 Recap addition which then earned to the Orange Jersey in practice, 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.840 and we always talk about what makes a quarterback stands 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.720 out to me. It's third down passing, where to a 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.600 last year was fifth in the National Football League last 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.079 year among all quarterbacks, and moving the stick conversion rate, 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.200 moving the sticks conversion rate, the four contemporaries of his 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.760 on that list who finished higher than him with a 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.639 better conversion rate Matt Stafford's Super Bowl champion, Patrick Mahomes 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.640 m VP and Super Bowl MVP Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow, 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.440 And those third and fourth spots were within one percent 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.320 conversion of each other, so you get one more conversion 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.160 from TWA and he's top three in the National Football 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.640 League last year, and he was top ten in a 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:44.200 lot of important categories like completion percentage over expected which 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:49.000 measures ball placement, total QBR, escape rate, and sack rate surrendered. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.840 But the smaller sample size with some games missed made 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.720 it pretty volatble, and that bad run kind of put 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.760 him behind the median in a few of these categories, 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.120 like passer rating nineteenth, average yards or drop back nineteenth. 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.120 But then completion percentage seventh c p o E sixth, 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.440 sack percentage tied for fifth pressures turned to sacks. He 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.840 was six in that regard, which is a measure of 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.400 pocket presents, and then big time throws, which is a 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.480 pro football focused stat for excellent location and timing, generally 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.160 down the field or into a tighter window. He had 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.400 six of them, and that was twenty two. But I 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.360 find it interesting the group right ahead of him was Mayfield, Cousins, 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.800 and Herbert with seven two is five point one percent. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.640 Big time throw percentage was higher than all those guys. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.320 And how about some of the Going back to the 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.000 third down stat Ray, I want to look at the 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.240 four guys ahead of two on that list and consider 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.880 what their running game and pass protection ranks were a 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.320 season ago. This is going off Pro Football Focus in 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.240 terms of how they graded the offensive line and the 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.800 rushing ranks in terms of total yards rushing last season 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.320 for Matt Stafford ranked running game, the number one pass 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.119 protection offensive line in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes sixteenth ranked 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.440 running game, the sixth ranked pass protection in it last 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.600 year in the NFL, Justin Herbert twenty first ranked run game, 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.719 sixteen ranked pass pro, Joe Burrow twenty three ranked run game, 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.960 twenty ninth pass protection. Pretty damn impressive to a tongue 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.560 of Byalo of fifth place, thirty ranked run game, thirty 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.719 second ranked and pass pro. I think perhaps the craziest stat, 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.120 not just for Miami but the entire NFL last year 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.680 was the two was sacked on just four point nine 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.880 percent of his dropbacks. That was eighth best in the 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.039 NFL last year. But Travis, isn't that just because the 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.400 ball comes out so fast? Well, when Jacoby was the quarterback, 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.560 it was a seven point eight percent sack right twenty 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.760 six in the NFL. And like we did with the 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.480 third down numbers, how about the guys who finished ahead 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.960 of twa and sack percentage and the total pressures. Tom 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.320 Brady for the Buccaneers a hundred and fifty six QB 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:49.160 pressures last year, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes one seventy nine, 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.719 same number for Justin Herbert one seventy nine. Kirk Cousins 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.640 was fifth, and sack percentage she had the second highest 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.480 on this list with two hundred and eleven pressures against him. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.520 Dak Prescott one fifty four, Matt Stafford one forty four. 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.360 The Miami Dolphins last year allowed two thirty five Pro 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:11.360 Football Focus recorded pressures. That was twenty four more than 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.919 the next highest and thirty seven more than the third highest, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.679 And to it was just point one percent behind Cousins, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.880 Prescott and Stafford, so one tenth of a percentage point 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.360 from being the fifth best sack right behind a line 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.120 that set the record for most pressures allowed in the 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.400 PFF era. That's your Tishpiel. Teddy bridgewiret number five. Fortunate 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.440 to have this kind of depth at the position. I 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.039 like to note his intelligence and feel for the position. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.120 It's akin to tow Ah and the way he can 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.919 navigate some of those overload blitzes and create with his 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.280 pocket mobility. I think he's just wired perfectly for this 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.760 role because he is a He's gonna know the system 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.760 inside and out and be he understands managing a football game. 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.599 And I hate that that term can be misconstrued as 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.279 a negative. It's a quarterback's job to manage situations, calculate risk, 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.760 and play accordingly. Think Teddy as as well served in 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.479 that regard. Is anybody a fund stat on him one 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.360 hundred twenty point three passer rating last year when blitzed 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.400 two for one even eight yards, nine touchdowns to just 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.360 two picks. When teams blitz Teddy Bridgewater other quarterback in 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.160 the room in a nineteen rookie Skyler Thompson. You heard 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.680 him on the podcast. You heard coach McDaniel talk about 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.200 it to the passion for the sport, the willingness to 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:23.880 do whatever role the team needs him to do to 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.960 win football games, He's got a great room to learn from. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.840 I mean, my goodness, coach bev to and Teddy the 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.840 frequent Dan Marino cameos, and my fun stat here on 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.840 Skyler was the three nine nine rushing yards on designed 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.080 runs last year at Kansas State. And how about the 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.520 overall room as as a whole. I just like the 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.320 way these guys can mitigate pressure, get off the spot, 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.559 and the way they're wired to compete at this level. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.280 The storyline here is, I think, can you foster an 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.840 environment to capitalize on what to of strengths are kind 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.679 of an emphasis this offseason. Strong running game, hopefully improved 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.760 offensive line play. We know about the new weapons on offense. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.640 The sky to me is the limit here. You shore 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.640 up those two things, and I think we're gonna have 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.760 a ton of fun this season, maybe too much fun. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.120 You can't battle here. There isn't one at running back. 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.080 Nine guys on the roster, and we start with number two, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.440 Chase Edmonds, three down player. You can flex him out. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.360 He can run routes, has big playability, can get to 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.760 that second and third level and make fast guys missed 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.560 and run past fast guys. The fun stat on him, 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.480 there's a couple of them. He had the third best 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.080 rushing e p A. That's expected points added the analytics 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.800 storks out there, and I'm partially an analytics stork. Love 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.240 that stat and running backs in the last in the 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.960 NFL last year, his twenty three point three percent of 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.840 total runs reaching fifteen plus miles, Prower was first among 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.000 all running backs with at least a hundred carries, next 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.600 to second year pro Jared Okes Number twenty three. Love 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.680 what he does in pass pro. I thought he showed 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.880 some medal last year in the preseason in his short 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.040 yardage work. I'm excited to get a look at this 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.280 guy in year number two. A fun stat on him 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.400 his final year in Cincinnati with the Bearcats, no drop passes, 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.120 catch rate and zero pressures allowed on thirty one pass 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:08.640 blocking reps. Also forced miss tackles on one and forty 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.760 four rush attempts. That's one every five point seven six 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.000 and it kind of spells out to you a physical 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.520 back that can play all three downs. Number twenty six 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.160 savan Akhmed going back to the speed thought we saw 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.640 it in the preseason last year, catching that touchdown pass 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.959 on the wheel route against the Bears. We see in 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.400 the explosive runs, had that big one twenty two yard 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.800 game back in his rookie season and a couple of 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.160 our another hundred yard performance before that as well, and 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.040 he can sure his heck hit the big run the 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.280 home run hitter. Speaking of home run hit res number 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.040 thirty one, where Hee moster another newcomer here. Speed speed, speed, 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.959 patient runner who can capitalize on the plays where you 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.640 blocked it perfect and hit the home runs. Not just 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.680 a fift twenty yard that's what's blocked, that's what we're getting. 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.560 We're talking sixty sev yr runs where he makes guys 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.439 in the second and third level miss and he's by 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.600 him for long touchdowns. Fund stat on him recorded the 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.200 two fastest speeds with the football in his hands back 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.480 in and they only played one game last year one 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.240 and had two carries for twenty yards on those runs. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.240 Number thirty four. Sony Michelle packs an absolute punch and 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.800 gets to full speed quickly after making his initial move. 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.800 Really strong vision to find lanes as they open up. 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.440 The fun staff for me on Sony Michelle is the 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.080 way he's been a big part of championship runs last 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.920 year six games. They elevate his role with the Rams 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.200 runs for five hundred and forty yards as they go 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.760 five and one on their way to an NFC West title, 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.040 and then back in three playoff games and the Patriots 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.400 three thirty six rushing yards and six touchdowns for that 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.240 championship winning team Number thirty seven. Miles gaskin passing game 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.360 prowess all the way and the ability to catch the 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.679 football from any route in any alignment, whether you want 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.960 to put him condensed in a nasty split, put him 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.880 back in the backfield, flex him out wide, haven't take 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.600 a go off run a takeoff route like he did 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.400 last year against the Bucks for a touchdown. Then against 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.240 the Jets he catches that hook up route from two 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.800 on that game winning drive and that soft spot of 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.080 the zone took a big shot, but hung on on 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.599 the third down catch for not just a conversion but 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.240 a touchdown to help the Dolphins get that victory. Also, 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.439 like the way he creates when the quarterback goes off 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.240 script and tends to find the vacancies created by that 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.160 scrambling of the quarterback fund stat for him last year 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.760 he tied for the team lead with seven touchdowns with 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.880 Jalen Waddle and his twelve touchdown since lead the Dolphins 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.200 over that span. Finishing up here at the running backs. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.920 Number forty seven is a quadree White. His vision to 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.040 get from front side press, that front side of the 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.080 run to the back side of the formation with that 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.280 fold back run against the grain, against the flow after 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.679 showing patients to kind of create that over pursuit by 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.040 what he does. That's impressive. So is the contact balanced 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.280 to stave off arm tackles, and you see it with 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.200 the fund stat four point six one yards after contact. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.280 I was impressed by him last week in camp. Excited 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.360 to look at him tomorrow as well as the rest 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.240 of O T A s and in the training camp. 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.240 Full back talk baby number thirty alec ingled smooth hands 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.359 from that full back position, big plays in college at Wisconsin, 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.560 and some really good tape there with the Raiders as well, 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.360 paving the way for Brandon Jacobs, Kenyan Drake and some 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.440 pretty damn good rushing attacks. Fund stat on him receiving 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.800 touchdown every year as a pro and seven point oh 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.560 two yards per target in his career. That's that's actually 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.040 top three or top five rather I should say among fullbacks, 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.880 number forty six, John Lovett, the quarterback tape on him 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.400 in college is so much fun, a versatile guy, not 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.520 unlike Ingold, taking some wildcat snaps. But then with the 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.800 Packers had some real get out of your chair highlight 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.440 type of blocks played mostly on special teams there. The 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.959 storyline here is how does the workload get shared. Who's 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.320 gonna be the third down option? How will they cycle 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.920 through third down options? How many snaps does each guy take? 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.280 Who's the odd man out? Do they keep five or six? 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.880 Do they keep four? How many is it? How do 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.560 they keep two fullbacks one fullback? Whatever? It looks like 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.840 lots of options there for the Dolphins in this running 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.959 back room, and you have to think that's by design 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.559 to give them as much options as they need to execute. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.000 Mike McDaniel, Frank Smith, all those guys running scheme on 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.240 offense and the camp battle. It's really the entire room 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.160 who gets the carries. But I'm also curious to see, 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.640 you know, we have an idea about who enters with 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.880 I should say the most past resume success us and gravitas, 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:02.839 who kind of winds out that role at the back 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:04.560 end of the roster and special teams as a guy 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.680 that can come off the bench. Curiously how that works 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.520 out as well. Wide receivers. There are eleven of them 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.120 on the roster, and we start here in order of 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.280 jersey number with number three Lynn Bowden. Multiple skill skeat. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:15.960 He can catch it, he can run it, he can 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.840 even throw it. That's why you call a skill sket 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.240 like I just called it. He's shifty as I'll get out. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.680 He can create after the catch. The FUND stat on 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.800 him back in over the final five weeks twenty eight 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.280 grabs for two d and twelve yards. Didn't play last 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.600 year with the injury number ten, Tyreek Hill. I'll be 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.840 repeating this for Jalen Waddle in a minute, and since 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:34.200 there's two of them, I'm not sure if you can 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.040 still say it, but this guy just moves differently than 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:41.800 those around him. Urgency, suddenness, speed. I saw one practice 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.200 of the sky already and he's just shaking off defenders 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.720 with his route running and coming back down the stem. 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.640 Electric player, electric personality. The FUND stat on him Pro 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.520 Bowl all six years of his career. One of the 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.760 most productive receivers in NFL history through their first six 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.640 seasons ranks top and explosive touchdowns from forty plus all 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.880 that fun stuff and touchdown scored from those distances since 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.000 his arrival back in sixteen. He is gonna be not 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.160 just creating for himself, but creating chances for other guys. 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.440 It's gonna be fun to watch Number eleven Cedric Wilson Jr. 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.360 His ability to stretch the defense paired with his size, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.080 it's such a nice combination. And the versatility to play 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.760 inside and outside. I think it's gonna help not just 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.280 open up things for Waddle and Hill, but the space 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.160 that he gets from Waddle and Hill even more is 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.080 going to be exponentially greater for this Dolphins uh you know, 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.800 one to three option attack here this season. He was 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.200 a major threat on slot fades last year in Dallas. 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.480 And the ability to get deep from that position at 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.640 that size, it's kind of this new age thing. You 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.760 see it in college slot fades. Get the ball down 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.920 the field to a guy like last year Arkansas trailing 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.320 Burkes for instance, is a good example. Put a big, 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.320 rocked up guy in that slot position and watch him 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.800 go out physical slot cornerbacks or safeties, whatever they draw. 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.400 It's a nice Combo Fund staff for him six point 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.520 two yards after the catch last year from Pro Football 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.800 Focus that was tied for tenth most among NFL receivers. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.800 He was fifth in the NFL among qualifying receivers with 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.120 eight team point four yards per target on pass us 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.440 throwing twenty plus yards, and he also had a plus 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.040 eight team point six catch rate over expected on targets 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.680 of ten plus yards that was third best in the NFL. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:15.880 I know, that's a bunch of stats I'm throwing at you. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.000 I'm telling you he's really good after the catch. He's 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.320 really good on deep balls, and he was exceptional on 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:24.480 intermediate passes a season ago. Number seventeen, Jalen Waddle, Well, 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.480 I mean, you guys know, I talked about this guy 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.200 as much as anybody. The release package, the concentration at 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.400 the catchpoint, the blazing speed where he just moves at 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.560 a different speed than everybody else except for maybe number 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.320 ten out there. It's every time I see him play, 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.560 it's just it's pure excitement, pure adrenaline. It's like a 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.280 F one race. Those things paired with his understanding of 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.200 the position, the way he attacks blind spots and then 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.080 enters the spin cycle once he puts defensive backs in 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.680 that shoot which way need to go? Position fund stat 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.720 on him just one game of sixteen is a pro 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.800 last year with less than three catches, and he had 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.280 at least fifty receiving yards and all but four games 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.960 as a rookie. I expect Waddle have a monster monster 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.320 here and pop off he is. He's gonna be a 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.200 He's gonna be a really nice one for the Dolphins 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.360 team for a long time. Uh, whoop, scot a little 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:08.840 bit out of order. Let's go ahead and go back 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.600 to trent sherefield number fourteen. Here, I put him on 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.080 the wrong spot behind in front of Wattle. Physical and 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.560 everything he does at the lion of scrimmage on routes 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:20.320 as a blocker on special teams, it translates across all phases. 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.400 Gonna be tough to outwork this guy. Fun PF stat. 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.160 He had run blocking grades of eighty point one, seventy 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.200 one point one, and eighty one point over the last 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.000 three seasons. Seventy plus is above average, eighty is like 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.840 your upper echelon, so he's in that regard. And run 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.960 blocking he finished in the top fifty each of the 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.280 last three years, and special teams tackles total on seven 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.840 forty one snaps. And we'll talk about this with Zoo 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.480 Kama as well. The ability to play in some tight 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.600 areas down on the red zone and factor is a 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.120 real good blocker off the edge, are condensed and tight 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:50.760 and give you an extra hat at the line of 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.920 scrimmage and the count in the box count. I think 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.560 those valuables are gonna those traits are gonna be invaluable 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.720 for these bigger body receivers. Number eight Team Preston Williams 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.520 like the combo size and speed. He sinks the hips 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.080 as a route runner, big red zone target, evident by 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.760 his touchdown numbers his first two years. Sinking the hips 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.399 is where you don't have to have wasted movement up 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:10.960 top or down below when you get off the top 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:12.760 of the route. It's it's how you sink into the 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.119 route and make everything look the same. Could be a takeoff, 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:16.720 could be a stutter, could be a comeback, could be 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.720 an in brake outbreak. That's what you want to see 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.480 when you see guys sink their hips into the routes. 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.359 Number eighty three Davante Deadman play his college ball at 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.679 William and Mary and A fun fun part about that 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.560 was his offensive coordinator. There was Brendan Marion, who was 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.480 the pit receiver coach last year coached up uh Jordan Addison. 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:33.800 I had look that up. I forgot it right there 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.120 on the spot. Good job, Travis Jordan Addison, last year's 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.280 bullet in the cough Winner. He's now at Texas coaching 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.119 receivers there. But Davante Deadman earned a p f F 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.240 grade of eighty two point eight, or better than three 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.440 of his last four years there at William and Mary 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.879 Number eighty five. River Cracraft go coug's intelligent route runner, 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.680 understands leverage and sauce Boston how to defeat them. Our 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.280 Washington State offense was like third team plays in the Napkin, 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.159 and he was so at dept at adjusting to the 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.360 defense and finding ways to win that route regardless. He 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.400 you know, your route needs to look the same every time, 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.280 or I should say every route should look the same, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.639 but also every route should look different every time, Like 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.080 you want to find out how to run that route 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.000 against that defense. Craivecraft is your guy. Eighty six U 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.520 d f A. Braylon Sanders from Old Miss really talented 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.800 deep ball route runner there could get on top of guys, 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.200 stack them, and stay there. The fund stat here twenty 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.760 one point one yards per catching his career on sixty 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.800 eight grabs. Number eighty seven Eric Azoo com a big, tough, 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.320 physical receiver, excellent contact balance, can snatch the ball with 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.600 strong hands away from his frame and pull it into 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.879 himself and protect that thing and help move the chains 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.080 and defenders bounce off him after the catch average seven 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.639 point eight yards after the catch in one that was 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.760 sixteenth best among all receivers in college football. Number eighty 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.200 nine Cody core big frame, capable of boxing out defenders, 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.160 and it shows in our fund stat. Hasn't played since 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.280 twenty nineteen in a regular season game, when he did 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:52.200
