Speaker 1: Practice, Patrick throwing Parker touchdown. What a win for this
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphin team. Wow? Right, ah right, Miami Indeed, and
Speaker 1: free agency is off to a rocking start as your
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins have been busy bolstering the roster with quality signings,
Speaker 1: freak athletes, intelligent, instinctive scheme fits, and we've been doing
Speaker 1: it with clever cat management that keeps this roster in
Speaker 1: terrific financial shape going forward. What's up, Dolphins? Travis Wingfield
Speaker 1: with you here for a special series of the Drive
Speaker 1: Time Podcast, part of the official podcast network of your
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. We aren't making these shows with specific dates,
Speaker 1: but we are rolling out a new episode per player signing,
Speaker 1: and we'll start with the details of the player's career,
Speaker 1: taking a look at their counting stats, advanced metrics, film study,
Speaker 1: character testimonies, and a whole lot more. All of that
Speaker 1: before we hear from the newest Miami Dolphins and exclusive
Speaker 1: interviews with the Drivetime Podcast. So, without any further ado,
Speaker 1: let's get in to the free agency series here on
Speaker 1: the Drivetime Podcasts, and we're gonna go over the Dolphins
Speaker 1: cumulative strategy here during free agency and what it means
Speaker 1: for the cap ramifications, the financial commitments, and what it
Speaker 1: says about the Dolphins draft going forward next month. But
Speaker 1: first we're talking about the individual players signed this week
Speaker 1: by your Miami Dolphins, and today we're talking about new
Speaker 1: center Ted Carriss. He signed a one year contract formerly
Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots. He started fifteen games last
Speaker 1: year for the Patriots in place of David Andrews, who
Speaker 1: missed the entire season. Carras goes six ft four three
Speaker 1: five pounds. He was a sixth round pick back in
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen out of Illinois, and he played
Speaker 1: of the Patriots snaps last year. He's played sixty career
Speaker 1: games and started twenty Over his four year rear with
Speaker 1: the Patriots, He's played one thousand, two hundred seventy nine
Speaker 1: snaps at center, two hundred seventy two snaps at right guard,
Speaker 1: and six snaps at left guard. He was a four
Speaker 1: year starter in college, with forty three starts, all at
Speaker 1: right guard. He didn't participate in the sixteen scouting combine,
Speaker 1: but he did run a five to eight forty yard
Speaker 1: dash and bench two hundred and twenty five pounds thirty
Speaker 1: two times at his pro day and that strength was
Speaker 1: consistently on display in addition to his demeanor and an
Speaker 1: incredible football lineage. According to Lanzer Line of nfl dot Com, quote,
Speaker 1: four year starter at right guard. Uses brute upper body
Speaker 1: strength to get defenders turned and sealed. Drops a hammer
Speaker 1: on down blocks to knock running links open. Effective power
Speaker 1: in small spaces. Adequate hand placement, but generally keeps them inside.
Speaker 1: Gritty demeanor on the field, quality pass sets with a
Speaker 1: heavy handed punch, rare football lineage. As the seventh member
Speaker 1: of the Carass family to play in the Big Ten,
Speaker 1: intensity on game day is legend dairy. He was penalized
Speaker 1: just twice over the last two seasons. Now you heard
Speaker 1: Zirlene mentioned the intensity, and that was evident based upon
Speaker 1: his will to basically make himself into an offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: Between his freshman and sophomore years in high school, Carriss
Speaker 1: drank a gallon of milk every day and upped his
Speaker 1: calorie intank to gain one and ten pounds. The head
Speaker 1: coach of Carris's high school team also echoed those sentiments. Quote,
Speaker 1: on the field, he just go into a whole other
Speaker 1: level of intensity. I wish you could bottle that up.
Speaker 1: And give it to the other kids. End quote. And
Speaker 1: that was Mick Rossler, the head coach there of Carriss's
Speaker 1: high school team. And you account for his four years
Speaker 1: with the Patriots and those final two years in college,
Speaker 1: Carras only committed eight penalties in those seventy five games.
Speaker 1: Forty five of those were starts, so only one every
Speaker 1: five or so games he gets hit with the yellow flag.
Speaker 1: At twenty seven years old and really earning his first
Speaker 1: consistent playing time last season, it's entirely reasonable to expect
Speaker 1: Carris's play to improve as he enters the prime of
Speaker 1: his career. He replaced Pro Bowl center David Andrews last year,
Speaker 1: and that was no small task, but according to Bill Belichick,
Speaker 1: Harris was always up for the challenge. Quote. Ted's been
Speaker 1: a very dependable player for US for four years. He's
Speaker 1: played guard for US. This year, with David's situation, Ted
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to play more and he stepped in
Speaker 1: and played consistently like he really always has for US.
Speaker 1: Ted's a smart player. He's strong, he could anchor the
Speaker 1: middle of the pocket, and his communication with his teammates
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, which is critical for the center
Speaker 1: position to handle blocking schemes and protections and so forth
Speaker 1: has been good end quote. And Belichick talked about Carris
Speaker 1: mid season, but down the stretch was when Carris really
Speaker 1: came into his own. Over the final six games of
Speaker 1: last season, he was the number two graded past blocking
Speaker 1: center in all of the National Football League according to
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. He checked in with grades at eighty
Speaker 1: five point three, eighty three point nine, eighty four point nine,
Speaker 1: eighty point four, eighty four point nine again, and one
Speaker 1: blip on the radar at sixty three point nine, but
Speaker 1: consistently very good in past protection down the stretch for
Speaker 1: the Patriots and for the entire twenty nineteen season, Harris
Speaker 1: allowed just fourteen quarterback pressures that ranked sixth among all
Speaker 1: centers who played at least five hundred snaps in past
Speaker 1: protection last year. Of those fourteen pressures, only three resulted
Speaker 1: in hits on the quarterback. Most of them were hurries,
Speaker 1: giving Harris a sterling point zero zero five percent quarterback
Speaker 1: hit rate allowed. He also ranked sixteenth among centers with
Speaker 1: at least two hundred run blocking snaps on PFS grades.
Speaker 1: You pair this guy with Eric Flowers and you've got
Speaker 1: a mean, nasty duo on the interior. Both guys love
Speaker 1: the physical aspect of the position and they play through
Speaker 1: the whistle with competitive mean streaks. But that only applies
Speaker 1: to the football field. As you'll hear now in my
Speaker 1: interview with new Dolphins center Ted Carriss, and joining me
Speaker 1: now is the newest member of the Miami Dolphins along
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Center Ted Carriss, Ted, what's going on, man?
Speaker 1: Hi doing? Savis? I'm decided to be a Dolphin. That's
Speaker 1: great to hear. We're excited to have you down here.
Speaker 1: I gotta first ask you, you know, new contract, new team,
Speaker 1: You could have gone pretty much anywhere you wanted to.
Speaker 1: Why would you choose the Dolphins? You know, it's exciting organization.
Speaker 1: I really believe in what Cooked Flores is building, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know I want to want to get on the
Speaker 1: ground floor and help and help him build it absolutely.
Speaker 1: And from what you've heard from maybe around the league,
Speaker 1: maybe in your own locker room, or from some of
Speaker 1: the guys you've talked to already, what is kind of
Speaker 1: that message about Brian Flores and the culture you've heard
Speaker 1: about here in Miami. Well, you know, I had the
Speaker 1: opportunity to play three seasons with him here in New England,
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, he says a tough attitude,
Speaker 1: loves the game, um, you know, wants to win and
Speaker 1: prepares to win. And I think those are all qualities
Speaker 1: that that we share. And uh, you know, I I'm
Speaker 1: very grateful for the opportunity, really excited to get down
Speaker 1: and get to work. Another new person you're gonna be
Speaker 1: working with is Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Coming from New England.
Speaker 1: You had a chance to play against him twice a
Speaker 1: year last year, and from an opponent perspective, I know
Speaker 1: you're not on the field at the same time miss him.
Speaker 1: But what can you tell us about playing for Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and the guy that you'll be snapping the ball
Speaker 1: to on Sundays. Well, I've been a big fan of
Speaker 1: him since he's been the league. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: he's one of the you know, he's an ultimate competitor. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, had came up in you know the years
Speaker 1: even and had a big win over over the Patriots,
Speaker 1: you know, at our expense at that point in my career.
Speaker 1: So it was you know, I really respect him and
Speaker 1: really I like the energy brings to the game. I'm
Speaker 1: really looking forward to meeting him and then working together
Speaker 1: to you know, win some ballgames. And now a couple
Speaker 1: of guys that you did have to deal with in
Speaker 1: one on one matchups or go up against on the
Speaker 1: defensive line, Christian Wilkins Devon got Shaw. What can you
Speaker 1: tell us about a couple of the challenges of preparing
Speaker 1: for those guys up front? Well, I mean those are big,
Speaker 1: strong guys, you know. I think they have, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: a great core of d line guys, and those guys
Speaker 1: are tough. You know, they're big, strong guys. You know,
Speaker 1: know how to play and and you know, playing against
Speaker 1: Gotcha for the last you know, few seasons and then also, um,
Speaker 1: you know, Christian Wilkins was this season. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a great young core and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to you know, test my medal
Speaker 1: against them every day. You talk about testing your medal
Speaker 1: ted last year, you were the number two grade at
Speaker 1: pass blocking center from Week twelve onward on Pro Football Focus.
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that assessment and what do you
Speaker 1: think it was that contributed to your improvement and dominant
Speaker 1: played down the stretch last year? Well, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: grades are what they are. You know, I I like,
Speaker 1: you know, the only opinions I really care about is
Speaker 1: you know, our coaches and and and then doing what
Speaker 1: it takes to help the team win. But obviously that's yeah,
Speaker 1: pleased with being that, you know, Um, but I think
Speaker 1: just you know, working hard, getting settled into a position. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it was you know, it's a long year
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of games, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: stepping into a new role last year was very fortunate.
Speaker 1: I'm gratefully the opportunity, and obviously I go out there
Speaker 1: to win every up in every game, in every situation
Speaker 1: I'm in, and you know, just steady improvement is what
Speaker 1: I'm all about. So I'm gonna try to continue that
Speaker 1: success here moving forward in the torning torning for both
Speaker 1: season and you mentioned stepping in full time as a
Speaker 1: starter last year for Pro bowler David Andrews. What is
Speaker 1: it about your game that allowed you to kind of
Speaker 1: come off the bench in that way and step right
Speaker 1: into the offense and not have the Pat's offense miss
Speaker 1: a beat when you were called upon. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I've been in the fold for you know, there's my
Speaker 1: you know, there's my fourth season going into it, and
Speaker 1: I've had some starts before and you know, kind of
Speaker 1: in that six man role, and I got an opportunity
Speaker 1: to play and you know, try to take full advantage
Speaker 1: of it and had some success. Obviously, the year wasn't
Speaker 1: quite what we wanted it, but it was. It was
Speaker 1: a lot of fun and I you know, obviously preparing
Speaker 1: my heart is every day to go go and help
Speaker 1: the team win. And I'm you know, proud that it
Speaker 1: propelled me to get an opportunity to come down in
Speaker 1: Miami and then uh and improved myself. Here Ted Carris,
Speaker 1: new Dolphins Center here on the Drive Time Podcast with
Speaker 1: Travis Wingfield, the official Miami Dolphins podcast network. You mentioned
Speaker 1: coming to Miami. You're not the only former Patriot doing
Speaker 1: so what can you tell us about Kyle van noy
Speaker 1: and a Land and Roberts and facing those guys every
Speaker 1: day in practice? Well, Kyle van Nooi is a special player, Um,
Speaker 1: just a tremendous person, has a great family and you
Speaker 1: know he's gonna give it everything he got. Uh. He
Speaker 1: I have a lot of history with him. In practice.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun to have a
Speaker 1: familiar face, you kind of a practice rival down there,
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited that you know, we're still gonna
Speaker 1: be on the same team. He's a guy I respect
Speaker 1: a lot and UM. I have always rooted for UM
Speaker 1: as a teammate. Landon Roberts came in together. We were
Speaker 1: six hour draft picks together, and he's just about the
Speaker 1: hardest hit and I've ever played again, So I'm excited
Speaker 1: to have him on our side again. I was, you know,
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be on the receiving end of
Speaker 1: a hat if you don't see him coming, because he's
Speaker 1: a he's a great train. So that's just two great additions.
Speaker 1: I'm really glad that they're coming down. And I'm also
Speaker 1: close with Clayton Federl and me to more Hill, who
Speaker 1: both have been teammates on the past, whether detollege or
Speaker 1: rookie train came. I wanted to ask you about clay
Speaker 1: federal m here in just one second, but I want
Speaker 1: to go back to something you mentioned there about Roberts
Speaker 1: and practice. I've I've read about some of the intensity
Speaker 1: do you bring to the practice field, to the game
Speaker 1: day field, and pretty much anywhere in your life. Do
Speaker 1: you ever get in some dust ups with those guys
Speaker 1: and practice and get some get a little bit chippy
Speaker 1: out there on the practice field. Absolutely nothing that's ever
Speaker 1: come to a fight because that's kind of productive. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I want you Ben around and you know, we want hit.
Speaker 1: We look at as ow as we can. And I
Speaker 1: think that's the reason. Um. You know that a guy
Speaker 1: like Lee and a guy like Land and have been
Speaker 1: able to stick around and make a you know, make
Speaker 1: a career out of this is how hard we go.
Speaker 1: And I really respect Um, you know, his practice tempo
Speaker 1: and his approach to the game, and I've you know,
Speaker 1: we've met each other many times, uh in the box
Speaker 1: of these last four years. It'll be a great opportunity
Speaker 1: for you and those guys to kind of set the
Speaker 1: example for Brian Flores his practices and what he wants
Speaker 1: down here in Miami. So looking forward to that. You
Speaker 1: mentioned being college teammates with Clay Federlum there at Illinois.
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about the Dolphins new safety
Speaker 1: edition back there? Well, I think he you know, Clay
Speaker 1: is another great person and the guy that I respect wheartedly,
Speaker 1: has been a good friend for years. Um. He is,
Speaker 1: you know, one of the I think he's one of
Speaker 1: the premier I've never really seen a guy like that
Speaker 1: being able to He runs around, he's strong, he's he's
Speaker 1: a total package and a good friend and just got
Speaker 1: married and it was a big week from just got
Speaker 1: married and it's coming down to Miami. We're meeting up
Speaker 1: again after four years. So I'm really excited and happy
Speaker 1: for him. It's great to hear and Ted, I want
Speaker 1: to go even further back now. I read a story
Speaker 1: about you drinking a gallon of milk every single day
Speaker 1: in high school. Now my own personal experience with this.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big guy. I was a pretty good
Speaker 1: baseball player, but they always told me, Travis, you gotta
Speaker 1: get bigger. You got a game more weight, And I
Speaker 1: would eat a couple of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,
Speaker 1: could do some weightlifting, but I would lose my commitment
Speaker 1: after like three or four days. I wasn't that committed
Speaker 1: to it. But you gained a hundred of pounds in
Speaker 1: high school between your freshman and sophomore years. How does
Speaker 1: that happen? Well, I was committed to I did drinking
Speaker 1: down in a month before school every day. I actually
Speaker 1: want a lot of money. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: made fighting ship with that anymore. But the whole gallon
Speaker 1: challenge thing, that was like what you know, early two thousand, canda,
Speaker 1: I could do it. I actually made some money in
Speaker 1: college doing it as people didn't believe me. So, um,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could do it now, but
Speaker 1: yeah I did. And uh, you know, I just I
Speaker 1: knew I was gonna be an alignment and was probably
Speaker 1: my only shot too. Uh do you do have any
Speaker 1: success at the higher levels? And um, you know, I
Speaker 1: was really I was really skinny coming in, so I
Speaker 1: had to do something. So I was that was that
Speaker 1: was my strength. Pretyman built in jays as well. You
Speaker 1: said before school you drank it. I would knock it off.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I would have to bring a little bit left
Speaker 1: in the gallant to his first or second period and
Speaker 1: finish it's there and it was pretty hardcore. Man, looking back,
Speaker 1: it's probably pretty strange, but I hadn't. It ended up working,
Speaker 1: So that's why I'll be grateful for that time. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'd ever emulated it. Not to
Speaker 1: the young athletes, I don't know if that's a great strategy.
Speaker 1: Well you're You're blowing my mind because that would just
Speaker 1: ruin my entire day if I even took on like
Speaker 1: a quarter of that amount of dairy in the morning.
Speaker 1: So I'm just I'm blown away. But let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and stay in your high school days and go back
Speaker 1: to the mention about intensity. Your former high school coach
Speaker 1: mentioned in an article that he wishes he could bottle
Speaker 1: up the intensity that you have and give it to
Speaker 1: the other kids, and that intensity still exists today. Where
Speaker 1: does that come from, Ted? Well, I mean, football is
Speaker 1: such an intense game, and i one of my favorite
Speaker 1: parts about it is just one of many. But you know,
Speaker 1: being on the team and doing something hard that and
Speaker 1: you win together, so it's being success for me. I'm
Speaker 1: not crazy athlete, I'm you know, I'm pretty strong, But
Speaker 1: where it comes from from me is just the will
Speaker 1: to get it done, a will to win. And you know,
Speaker 1: to me, it's football is such a crazy, intense, collision
Speaker 1: sport that you know, the only way for me to
Speaker 1: you know, have any success is to bring some passion,
Speaker 1: energy and enthusiasm and intensity to what is already an
Speaker 1: intense situation. And part of that will to win certainly
Speaker 1: helps the Patriots get to a couple of super Bowl
Speaker 1: championships and you bring those rings with you here to Miami.
Speaker 1: What does that championship pedigree do for a locker room
Speaker 1: when you enter it here in Miami. Well, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be touting it. I want to build something with um,
Speaker 1: you know, the guys we have there. I think that's
Speaker 1: another great aspect about the sport. It's very seasonal and
Speaker 1: you come together for you know, eight nine months and
Speaker 1: and build your bonds and try to try to win
Speaker 1: as many games as you can. I'm I'm not looking
Speaker 1: back at all. I obviously am very grateful and and
Speaker 1: those are some of my most prized possessions. And I
Speaker 1: don't have brothers for life. Um, you know, winning those
Speaker 1: championship rings. But you know, to look back at that now,
Speaker 1: would it would kind of be futile to what we're
Speaker 1: trying to build, uh down in Miami. Right. Absolutely? And
Speaker 1: when you get to Miami, let's go off the field. Now.
Speaker 1: You talked about Clay's family bringing your family down. What
Speaker 1: are you guys most looking forward to about being in
Speaker 1: Miami when it comes to just being in the South
Speaker 1: Florida community. Well, I've i haven't had such a great
Speaker 1: reception already from the fans. I'm really excited to you know,
Speaker 1: see a new part of the United States. I've lived
Speaker 1: in a you know, probably this will be probably my
Speaker 1: fourteenth uh town, and I've had the privilege to live in.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to me to Miami. Hands. Um, it's
Speaker 1: icy raining on me today here in Massachusetts, so miss
Speaker 1: that too much. But um, you know, I think that
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's pretty excited, and I love being a
Speaker 1: part of the local communities. You know, I'm gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be around. I'm gonna try to get down
Speaker 1: there as soon as possible and be around and obviously
Speaker 1: try to try to help out with uh, you know,
Speaker 1: all the stuff that's going on right now. And um,
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm just really excited to get down
Speaker 1: to Miami. You said fourteen cities. Yeah, my dad was
Speaker 1: a small college football coach growing up, so I've been
Speaker 1: I've moved around a lot of pretty you know, like
Speaker 1: I said, it's the seasonal works. So yeah, I've had
Speaker 1: to football helped. I was a new kid a lot
Speaker 1: growing up, but football helped. You know, being good at
Speaker 1: football always made you some quick friends. And you were
Speaker 1: the seventh player in the Harrass family to play in
Speaker 1: the Big Ten in college football. What does that lineage
Speaker 1: mean to you and how did it quit kind of
Speaker 1: quickly get you inundated with the game at a young age. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, all all of the men in my family
Speaker 1: that I knew had played college football. Um, it was
Speaker 1: never you know, I was. It wasn't like a nightmare
Speaker 1: you have to play football scenario. I loved it from
Speaker 1: the start. I love the history of the game. I
Speaker 1: loved the sacrifice and the and and the kind of
Speaker 1: the duty of the sport that you you know, you
Speaker 1: have you have a Um you're beholden to your teammates
Speaker 1: to get your job done. And it's very hard. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I think that's always attracted me to it. I
Speaker 1: wasn't great and other sports. I was pretty decent at basketball,
Speaker 1: but I found success early in football. And I loved everything.
Speaker 1: I love to putting the equipment on. I loved, you know,
Speaker 1: getting your jersey and and you know, continue to to
Speaker 1: love the game to dad, you know. And my favorite
Speaker 1: show is A Football Life. I love that show so much.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great show. Oh, it's a great one.
Speaker 1: The one on Damn Marino is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: all time television shows that ever made. So with you
Speaker 1: on that all the way, Ted, you mentioned basketball. It's
Speaker 1: been kind of a theme on this podcast talking to
Speaker 1: some of your new teammates here. We've got a lot
Speaker 1: of guys that think they're the best player on the team.
Speaker 1: Do you want to stake that claim too? I do
Speaker 1: not want to stake that time. I I know I'm
Speaker 1: not the best player on the team. I would probably
Speaker 1: be pretty competitive in a take on horse scenario. Coming
Speaker 1: from Indiana, we grew up playing a lot of that
Speaker 1: pretty decent jumper. But in no way what I bashed.
Speaker 1: I'll be out there going my hardest. But you know,
Speaker 1: there's probably supreme athletes on our team, and uh, I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's some pretty pretty pretty good bash Bowl players.
Speaker 1: So you got you got the jumper down, then I
Speaker 1: got the john. I got a good ten foot jumper,
Speaker 1: and you know it's my bread and butter and cake.
Speaker 1: You try to you know, I don't go for the three.
Speaker 1: I just kind of keep it simple as long as
Speaker 1: you're making and you can't lose. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: think that the mid range jumper is dying these days, man,
Speaker 1: the old Hoosiers days. It's kind of a thing in
Speaker 1: the past. It is. It is. You know, it's sad
Speaker 1: that basketball is not going on right now. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: It's a bummer. We all missed sports. Hopefully we can
Speaker 1: get get back to life pretty quickly here and everyone's
Speaker 1: out there being safe and that includes you and your family. Ted.
Speaker 1: Well that's all I got for you here today. Ted,
Speaker 1: congratulations on the new deal, on the new team. Best
Speaker 1: of lux you this year, Stay healthy and welcome to Miami. Man,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Thanks for having me out. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to it. Sounds good. I appreciate it. And there
Speaker 1: he goes. You talk about a likable guy, Ted Carris,
Speaker 1: the new Dolphins center coming down to Miami, really really
Speaker 1: nice addition to the middle of the Dolphins offensive line.
Speaker 1: You heard him talk about his will and the intensity
Speaker 1: and just basically having the higher motor than anybody else
Speaker 1: on the field and wanting it more or and he
Speaker 1: talked about it with the milk drinking that like I
Speaker 1: know I talked about it in the interview. That blows
Speaker 1: my mind still thinking about drinking the entire gallon of
Speaker 1: milk before you even get to school. But it just
Speaker 1: proves the commitment that he showed an early age for football.
Speaker 1: You hear about the family lineage coming up, being in
Speaker 1: a football family his whole life, living out there in
Speaker 1: the Midwest, the Indiana, Illinois area, being a basketball player,
Speaker 1: and he wouldn't put the claim on it as best player,
Speaker 1: but I bet that guy can be your power forward,
Speaker 1: set some good picks, and be a good rebounder and
Speaker 1: defender down in the low post. So that's Ted Carriss.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have more of these guys, more of these
Speaker 1: podcasts coming out for you guys as the week goes
Speaker 1: on into the weekend. Talking to every Dolphins new free
Speaker 1: agent signing. It's exciting times down here in Miami. People
Speaker 1: are excited to be here, people are excited to talk
Speaker 1: about this Dolphins football team. And we'll continue to do that.
Speaker 1: We'll have a future episode sometime next week, kind of
Speaker 1: having a cumulative approach of the entire free agency period
