We're gonna take this week to keep you 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.560 getting introduced to all the newest members of your Miami Dolphins. 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.920 Today we're doing the skill players. Braxton Barrios and Eric Saubert, 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.200 will have Malik Read, We'll have Deshaun Elliott, will have 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.920 Dan Feenie and Jake Bailey on a future episode here, 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.120 but today we're covering Sabert Barrios, as well as the 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:29.920 introduction Jalen Ramsey press conference. Almost said podcast. We'll do 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:31.920 all of that in the latest news and notes from 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.760 around the National Football League from the Baptist Health Studios 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:39.360 inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drivetime 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:44.800 podcast by fash So. I mentioned the Malik Read acquisition 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.960 we heard about over the weekend. That is, of course 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.600 a reported signing. We will get to that on a 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.400 future episode once it becomes official. But man, his tape 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.840 is very good. His production in this defense under this 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.880 defensive coordinator is good. I cannot wait to break down 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.160 his tape for y'all when that becomes official. Also, just 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.640 saw across the wire Larry me Tunzil is once again 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.959 the highest paid left tackle in the history of the 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.880 National Football League. Good for him as moves have been 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.760 coming and going really fast and furious. Here over the weekend, 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.440 Mike Gasicki winds up in New England the Patriots on 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.520 I think a one year, four and a half million 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.359 dollar deal. So they get both Gasicki and Parker, two 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.880 guys that fit really with the previous quarterback in my opinion, 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.200 not as much here with the current iteration of the 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.880 Miami Dolphins. So that's some news around the league. Let's 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.040 go ahead and get into what is a fun time 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.240 of year. Man free agency seems to get picked clean 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.679 faster and faster each year. But don't get that twisted. 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.000 There are plenty of quality players in the second tier, 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.000 second phase, second window, whatever you call it, in this 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.480 free agency period of the calendar, and there's bargains out 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.120 there to be had. I know that first sentence tends 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.799 to get fans anti about the perceived needs. I've heard 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.600 all the tweets about right tackle and whatever your opinions 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.880 are of that position. But I say the same thing 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.520 every year. Can we wait until August before we start 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.400 to think about what the fifty three man roster might 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.960 look like? The draft still is more than a month away, Like, 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.760 let's chill a little bit because last I remember last year, 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.760 there was full fledged panic and then they dropped to 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.320 Ron Armstead on you, and then they dropped Tyreek Hill 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.000 on you. In pretty short order. Didn't you feel pretty 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.480 silly after calling for Chris Greer's head after four hours 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.440 of free agency, and then he goes and gets the 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.880 best receiver in the NFL and arguably the best left 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.600 tackle in the NFL. I mean, that's two All Pro 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.520 type of players and it wasn't immediately in the free 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.960 agency window, So just keep that in mind. On top 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.920 of that, March madness. What a fun opening weekend that 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.080 was Opening Day in baseball with the World Baseball Classic 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.119 going on is less than two weeks away, the Master's 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.960 coming up. This is the best time of year for 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.200 sports outside of the regular football game schedule that September 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.680 through early February mark this is the best time in 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.640 my opinion, before we get into the newest wide receiver 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.800 and tight end Braxton Barrios and Eric Sobert for your 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.360 Miami Dolphins. Just wanted to give you a programming update 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.960 here and kind of talk about I guess where I've 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.040 been so admittedly, this is the first free agency and 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.440 my boss told me you've done more episodes last week 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:15.840 than you do in a regular week in the offseason, 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.479 Like no one's gonna know you were gone. I just 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.600 want to be transparent about why we're a little bit 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.760 later on these and I typically have been in the past. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.720 This is the first free agency. It's been tough on 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.400 your boy. I always say that your job, especially if 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.599 you're lucky enough like I am, that your job is 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.560 also your passion or your hobby or something that you 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.240 would do for free. And I did it for free 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.279 for a long time, for twenty bucks a month for 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.239 a long time. I always say, there's lots of times 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.280 that that's kind of where you find your sense of purpose, right, 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.840 And I've been doing this covering this team on daily 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.560 basis since the twenty sixteen season. When we sign a player, 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.200 it makes my skin crawl to not get to my 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.120 computer and plug in the All twenty two immediately. It 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.200 makes me anty. A funny story about that last summer, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.520 the late great Jason j Ankins took our social department 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.160 out for a dinner and Brickle. I'm sure you South 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.320 Florida residents know this place at the top shelf place 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.960 called sexy Fish down there in the heart of Brickle. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.599 I had submitted my podcast that day for training camp 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.279 a little before dinner. The approval and edits got put 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.920 brought back and it was good to go, and on 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.880 my email notification, I saw it when we were getting 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.480 sitting down for drinks, and he knew. Jason knew this 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.760 about me. He knew that sitting on a podcast it 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.640 was ready to go gave me the most anxious feeling imaginable. 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.840 So he said, it's killing you, isn't it. Go ahead 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.840 and go out to your car, fire up that hot 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.920 spot and published the podcast. Now, luckily I was able 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.640 to reach out to one of our great admins, the 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.080 great Barbara Ogontola, who works on the website, and she 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:41.680 was able to log in and publish it for me, 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.799 so I didn't have to miss that dinner. But Jason 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.719 knew that if there's Dolphins news to be talked about, 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.680 to be put into the universe, I want to do it. 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.640 So I tell you all this to let you know 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.599 that I was on paternity leave on Thursday and Friday. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.520 My wife went back to work for the first time 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.640 since before Cameron was born about four months ago, and 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.120 since her leave expired two days before spring break, next 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.480 man up, and next man up in the situation was daddy, 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.159 so didn't really have a chance to work on the podcast. Thursday, Friday, 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.880 spent the weekend doing that, watching Brackson Barrios and Eric 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.320 Sobert will do the exact same thing with Elliott, Malik Reid, 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.560 Jake Bailey and Dan Feene coming up here. I'm telling 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.800 you this because that's why we are a few days 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.280 behind these signings. And again we were going to get 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.560 to him eventually anyways. But I don't know if you've 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.880 ever tried to work while watching a three month old, 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.680 but I promise you that working in a creative environment, 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.240 a creative role is about the hardest thing you can 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.040 do because ideas flow, he interrupts, and the product suffers. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.080 Because to me, like you have to be inspired, you 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.200 have to be in a certain frame of mind to 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.279 be able to create quality content. I just am not 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.680 like that when interrupted every twenty minutes. So I was 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.320 very happy with the Ramsey White and Long episodes. Thought 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:51.760 they were some of the best work you've done here. 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.520 If you haven't checked those out, go back and give 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.560 them a run. Our guests we interviewed were fantastic, Jordan 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.920 Rod Reid, Grett Brian and Antoine Staley. But now here 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:05.400 I am tinking cranking out some tape on a Saturday 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.240 morning to get you some analysis on the Monday Podcast. 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.120 Let's go ahead and get into those players, Braxton Barrios 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.440 and Eric Saubert Barrios. I think we start with his 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.520 return game because he's been one of the best in 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.239 the business since he came into the NFL. The receiving 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:22.280 production has not been great, but he's a role player 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.440 in that role, and a big role he has or 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.800 he fulfills, is the return game, and that was one 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.480 area that the Dolphins were really not great in last year. 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.920 Just never got it going. I thought Cedric Wilson had 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.720 a nice rhythm late in the year, finding his groove 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.800 in that department, but that obviously wasn't what he was 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.960 signed for. I just kind of fell into that role. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.400 But Barrios, that is what he does. He has twenty 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.760 one point returns a year ago. It was eighteenth most 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.080 in the NFL. His two hundred and forty return yards 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.640 were fourteenth best among returners who averaged at least one 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.320 per game. Seventeen returns, his eleven point four average was 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.880 sixth best in the NFL. He also brought kickoffs out 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.640 at the one of the highest rates in the NFL, 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.800 tied for seventh most kickoff returns with twenty six. Most 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.480 Art actually had twenty five, and I will never try 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.320 to determine the depth chart here in March. We can 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.440 talk about what we believe we have in the roster 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.480 in terms of strengths and positional value. But if Barrios 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.560 can take that duty off of most Art's plate, man, 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.000 give me Raheem a bigger workload in the running game 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.200 or in the offense, I should say and let Brackson 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.640 Barrios do the returning. That just makes sense to me. 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.720 I think that Moster It's going to get even better 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.600 as a runner in this offense, So taking away those 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.480 twenty five reps and giving it to him on offense, 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.040 to me makes sense because you get better in the 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.840 return game and your running back positions better with more 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.440 Raheem mosters. I think that bodes well for the offense 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.840 without losing any production in the return game. In fact, 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.440 you improve because most It was twenty point one yards 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.360 per kickoff return last year and Barrios was twenty three 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.600 point one. His six hundred yards on kickoff returns for 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.160 Barrios was ninth best in the NFL, and his average 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.120 was eighth best among the qualifying kickoff returners. And a 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.839 fun fact, because I clicked on this category on Pro 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.520 Football Reference, did you know the Dolphins had the top 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.280 two players in terms of all purpose yards among players 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.560 who returned to punter kickoff. Now, tygreek Hill had two 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.440 returns for negative four yards, which is funny to me, 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.560 but he had seventeen hundred ninety five all purpose yards 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.800 and Raheem Mostert was second with fifteen hundred ninety five 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.960 all purpose yards. So back to Barrios, that's been his 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.920 game man since he came into the NFL as a 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.680 sixth round draft pick. To who else besides the Wingland Patriots? 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.040 Is he fits the Patriots to a t? He's not. 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.880 He's now three quarters of the way through the AFC East. 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.880 He played for the Patriots and Jets, and he'll obviously 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.480 know Buffalo as well now being a Miami Dolphin back 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.800 where it all began for him. So what makes a 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.480 good returner? And that's kind of where I look at 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.720 the film here for Barrios. That really translates between special 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.240 teams and the offensive side of the football. Make the 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.120 first man miss, set up your blocking and freegan go 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.040 no hesitation. He who hesitates is lost in the return game, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.480 and Barrios doesn't do that, and you see that in 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.280 his game as a wide receiver. Also, he averaged five 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.240 point one yards after the catch last year, and that 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.719 was a career low, a really good career low at 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.800 five point three and one, five point eight and twenty 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.480 twenty and fourteen point five and twenty nineteen. But that 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.920 was on six receptions. And it should be noted that 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.800 a player that catches the football where he does typically 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.600 has a bigger yak because he catches a lot of 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.040 balls behind the lines scrim mention. But that tells you 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.600 about his strength. He's quick in a foam booth that 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:26.480 produces a frequent first tackler missing. In fact, four hundred 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.920 and forty eight of his one thou eighty five receiving yards. 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.440 What is that it's a little less than fifty percent 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.720 or before the catch. That means six hundred thirty seven 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.160 percent or after the catch, and look at me, I 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.520 did the math here. That's fifty nine percent of his 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.560 yardage is on yak, which is a way bigger chunk 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.800 than what Tyreek Hill and Jill and Waddle had last year. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.800 But they are so damn good at pushing up, you know, 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.520 fifteen yards down the field. Just different style the players, 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.160 but that to me creates chances for those guys. We'll 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.280 talk about that here in just one second. Not to 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.439 mention for Barrios. Back to the point that he had 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.120 nineteen rushes for a buck six and four touchdowns. That's 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.160 a touchdown every four point seven five carries. He also 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.640 had nine first downs on those nineteen runs. That's really good. 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.400 And you see, you kind of see that role that 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.640 he fulfills in the offense. He's extremely valuable as the 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.960 motion man. He led the Jets last year in pre 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.000 stap motion by more than fifteen percent. You always move 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.959 Barrios back and forth across the formation. They got him 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.439 moving parallel to the line of scrimmage through him. Now 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.400 routes which is catch rock throw through him, screens and 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:33.120 swings and speedouts and tunnel screens coming back to the formation, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.840 and then he's just a punt returner from there. I 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.240 know we typically talked about the speed of a wattle 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.960 or a hill in those spots, but man, it's very 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:45.000 very nice to be able to manufacture yardage and manipulate 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.240 the down and distance when you get behind the sticks, 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.240 or even on first and ten like this offense thragged 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.839 on like second and threes last year. So let's say 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.120 you are first and ten, or let's say it's second 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.880 and twelve after a negative run, it's so nice, Bill 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.199 just stand up and throw the ball to a shifty 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.960 who doesn't have the attention of ten or seventeen and 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.400 typically has to make one man miss to spring a 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.320 nice gain to then navigate those crowded pockets and move 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.560 the pile forward. And what I mean by that in 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.520 manipulation of the down distance. Again, you lose two yards 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.920 on first down. Maybe you get a favorable look where 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.000 it's like, oh, Burris is one on one, and then 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:19.839 we have our blocker to the strength over there. It 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.880 means alec Ingold, we can just stand out field the 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.520 ball to Braxon Barrios, he breaks a tackle, and all 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.680 of a sudden, it's third and five. After you know, 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.240 we lost two yards on first down. That skill set 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.319 translates to short yardage conversions as well. Let's say we're 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.640 in eleven personnel. It's three receivers right, one tight end, 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.199 one back Tyreek Jalen, Braxon Burrios. Let's say it's third 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.840 and three. For the sake of this argument, Tyreek, Jalen 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.560 and Braxon lineup, who do you think is getting single 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:48.040 coverage there? It's not ten and it's not seventeen. So 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.080 go to one of the shiftiest players in the game 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:51.840 in a three yard box. And by the way, you 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.560 have a three way go. What's that called an inside leverage, 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.480 outside leverage? Possibility of a takeoff. As far as where 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.400 you're responsible for no help, three way goes are to cover, 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.160 especially against a player that has the shiftiness of Brax 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.160 and Barrios probably why he has this in his corner. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.960 Sample size a small, but he's been throwing thirteen passes 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.360 over his career in third or fourth down and short, 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.680 and the Jets converted eight of those thirteen for first downs. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.080 That's a first down rate of sixty two percent. What's 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.600 the Jets third and short rating average for their whole 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.880 team over that same time, spam forty eight point three percent, 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.679 So nearly fourteen percentage points better on average when going 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.920 to Barrios compared to everybody else. In his career, fifty 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.920 one first downs on one hundred and seven catches, he's 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.200 got one oh seven for one eighty five and five touchdowns. Again, 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.200 he's a role player, averages ten point one yards per catch, 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.640 six point six per target, and a drop rate of 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.959 just five percent. That's six drops compared to one or 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.360 seven in the catch department. The advanced numbers, the best 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.480 one to me is one point five seven yards per 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.840 route ran. That's a great figure for a metric that's 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.760 pretty damn reliable and charting receiver performance. And again for 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.640 your third, fourth, maybe even fifth receiver who's gonna have 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.760 a spot duty guy. It's a great number. Tyreek led 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.079 the NFL last year. He's a unicorn. That number was 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.679 three o seven. Not something you should aspire for if 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.280 you want to be really good. Two is a good 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.120 number for literally anybody. But a good comparison here like 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.280 Christian Kirk who had a really good year for the Jaguars, 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.520 one point seven five for him. So Barrios productive in 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.560 that role that he was asked to perform. He aligned 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.640 in the slot seventy percent of the time, but typically 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.920 where you're going to find him out wide twenty six 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.880 percent of the time, and then elsewhere backfield in line 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.840 four percent of the time. He's played fifteen hundred and 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.040 sixty seven career snaps on offense and special teams. He's 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.000 forced eight career miss tackles as a wide receiver, two 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.360 as a runner. That's ten on one hundred and twenty 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.480 nine touches. Again, he makes guys miss a lot. He 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.960 also just brings a certain level of grit, which is 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.800 a word that I don't typically use in this podcast, 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.560 but he defines it twelve of twenty and contested catches 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.920 For a guy who's five foot nine, it's really good. 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.200 He's tough, he'll do the dirty work, and he'll be 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.960 a great teammate. Tyreek Hill's pretty fired up about the addition. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.200 You can see why he called westwelko or two point oh. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.560 Tyreek's a little more bullish on that than I am, 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.440 but hey, why not? Quick separators inside are only going 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.520 to help Cheetah and penguin do their thing. Fun competition 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.400 in that wide receiver room. We know about one A 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.480 and one B, but Barrios gives you some more value there. 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.760 I'm super high on eric as Ukama. River Craycraft is back, Baby, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.400 Go Kogs. We'll see about Cedric Wilson here in year two, 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.640 and then whoever else can step up whether it's new additions, 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.920 Braylan Sanders, Freddie Swain. Fun position to watch in camp, 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.480 especially against those two cornerbacks, three cornerbacks Kater Kogul on 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.600 the other side. All right, that's Barrios. Let's go ahead 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.160 and take our first break and come back on the 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.240 other side and do Eric Saubert's breakdown. Pretty pumped on 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.200 the first four games of his that I watched. That's 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.480 next Draft Time podcast your host Travis Wingfield, brought to 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:51.920 you by Idle Nation, part two of a film study 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.440 you breakdown skill players, my favorite positions to watch. We 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.320 added another newcomer over the last few days at a 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.120 skill group spot, and that is Broncos or former Broncos 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.640 tight end Eric Saubert. This guy's played around the league 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.520 quite a bit. This is a player you probably haven't 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.040 heard a ton about, but to me, he's really intriguing 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.000 on tape from the physical attributes that he offers. If 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.560 you think about it. It's the first veteran we've acquired 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.800 under John Embry at the tight end position. Tanner Connor 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.760 was the only newcomer in the room last year, and 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.440 Embry got pretty fired up talking about his room at 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.360 various points last year, So I'm thinking Eric Saubert has 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.440 a chance to really kind of carve out a role 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.080 in this offense. And at the risk of highlight scouting, 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.560 there's a touchdown that he scored against the Texans last 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.920 year where I think you can kind of extrapolate that 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.760 as far as what you can see his potential being 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:41.840 because it's an example of what you get with him, 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.760 and frankly, it's a ball thrown by Russell Wilson that 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.480 two A really excels with. So they go unbalanced twelve personnel. 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.280 That means you have one back, two tight ends, two receivers, 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.320 and your two tight ends unbalanced means they're on the 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.960 same side of the formation, a heavier side of the formation, right, 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:01.320 a clear strength declaration, both tight end attached to the 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.640 same side of the line. Then they run four verts, 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.880 which is one of the most popular route concepts. Four 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.639 verticals take the defense the top off the Typically you 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.719 have a back who comes underneath for the checkdown in 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.680 case your pass pro is good and the coverage is good. 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.959 But in this particular instance, when you run that, you 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.160 cannot cap every route, which means no help on every route. 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.359 So Saubert obviously going to be the one that catches 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.080 that single coverage kind of like we talked about earlier 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:25.639 with bracks and burials. So you need guys that can 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.200 beat single coverage when you have tyreek and jailing, because 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.159 you're gonna get it all game long. And this is 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.080 not a Texans linebacker. So that's a matchup where if 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.640 I'm a quarterback break in the pocket, Hey, pretty athletic 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:37.760 tight end against a linebacker who can't run as fast 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.200 as him might be something I look at. And so 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.160 you see Saubert on this play stack the linebacker, which 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:45.639 means put him on the back, don't let him over 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.000 the top, elevate for a pass and pull it in. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.960 And you also pick up the functional strength, which is 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:52.840 the next part of his game that stands out to me, 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.200 the contact balance. The linebacker tries to reroute him beyond 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.160 five yards, which is a foul by the way, didn't 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.879 get called, and he fights it off without slowing his 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:05.240 pace or drifting up the stem. Recall the twenty eighteen 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.080 podcast Locked on Dolphins talking about Mike Asiki. Back then, 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.520 that functional strength and getting bounced off the route was 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.200 a big problem. He improved it over his career. But 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.120 that was like, you can't play if you can't do that, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.359 And Saubert really really excels in that regard. And again 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.919 two loves throwing that exact ball, that little touch fade 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.560 at the back of the end zone where he just 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.760 kind of pops it with that risk flick that he has. 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.960 And two has big, strong hands that he allows him 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:33.119 to really put tight spirals and good touch throws in 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.560 those spots. He damn near completed the one he threw 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.320 to Jalen Waddle in the Baltimore game just before the 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.840 game winning touchdown. That's the kind of players talking about here. 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.640 So Saubert has these massive hands and you can see 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.960 it on this catch. It reminded me of why they'd 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.600 throw these balls to Gronk, and like, even though it 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.280 looked like it wasn't gonna get caught because there was 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:52.280 just too much traffic, he just found a way to 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.639 haul it in because he has freaking oven mits for hands. 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.560 So the tell of the tape is that Gronk has 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.399 ten and three quarter inch hands. Eric Saubert is the 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.679
