And over the weekend, the Dolphins 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.400 went back to a well that has been a quality 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:07.440 resource for roster acquisitions over the course of this franchise's history. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.520 Last year it was Sam Oguavin and of course in 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.200 the past number nine one Cameron Wake. Both those guys 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.080 came to Miami by way of the CFL. And now 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.600 we've got another and safety Nate Holly. Holly originally entered 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.280 the NFL on June when he signed with the l 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.760 A Rams. He spent training camp there before he was 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.880 waived in September. He also spent some time with the 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:35.240 Nebraska Danger of the Indoor Football League and then with 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.640 the Calgary Stampeters of the Canadian Football League last year. 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.160 He was named the CFL's most Outstanding Rookie following that 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:46.319 season after he told seventy eight tackles, two on special teams, 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.520 one sack had an interception, all of that coming in 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.840 eighteen games. All rightlet's go ahead and get to coach 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.640 Flores media, but first before we do that. As the 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:59.040 official wellness provider and sports medicine provider of the Miami Dolphins, 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.320 Baptist Health is ready and committed to continue caring for 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.360 you safely.

All right, let's go 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.320 ahead and get to coach Flora's is Monday morning media 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.120 availability and start with the question that was posed to 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.720 coach about a specific play on Saturday that occurred, and 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.079 the question asked him to kind of break down what happened, 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.880 and Coach basically said, he's not going to get into 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:41.959 the specifics, but here's a response he had that I 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.440 thought was very interesting in the middle of his response 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.320 in general to that question, there's a lot that goes 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.880 into a specific play. Uh, you know, was it a 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.440 blown coverage? Was it not a blown coverage? Was a 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.480 mental error? What you guys say, see maybe a little 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.280 deceiving at times? And then coach said, we're gonna just 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.320 go ahead and even at that. So, yeah, football is 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.359 a complex sport. Next question, Coach was asked about Andrew 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.639 Van Ginkle in the progress he's made so far here 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:12.320 in your number two. Well, you know, Andrew's a tough kid. Um, 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.760 he's got length, he's got some speed. Um. I thought 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.760 he did a solid jock for us in the kicking game. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.800 A year ago. Um, you know, the last six games 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.680 of the season. Um, he's a smart kid. It's very 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.200 important to him, and he's improving and getting better. Well, 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.520 he'll get some opportunities definitely throughout training camp and we'll 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.240 see what happens when we get to, uh, you know, 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.000 the regular season. He's improving, he's getting better. I'm very 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.000 I'm happy with where he is. And up next here 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.880 here is coach talking about Dolphins second year wide receiver 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.440 Preston Williams and how he's hungry to be on the 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.840 field for every snap, whether it's in the kicking game 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.320 on offense, he would never come off the field if 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.440 it was up to him. Well, I mean, anyone who 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.560 can return punts, you know, we're gonna we're gonna work 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:01.040 him back there. Preston obviously with the with the injury 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.839 a year ago, UM, let's see somebody. We we we've 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.120 kind of you know, we're just trying to be uh. 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.720 I want to say cautious. That's probably the wrong word, 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.200 but we want to watch his reps and watch the 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.000 amount of watch the amount of reps that we're putting 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.440 on him. He's working hard, he wants to be out there. 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.359 He wants to return every punt. He wants to go 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.080 out there for every uh really every snap. If we didn't, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.159 you know, we didn't manage him, he would, you know, 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.240 he'd be out there every place. So coming off a knee, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.679 we we've got to manage him, which we've done, uh 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.200 in the punt return, you know. As part of that management, 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.360 the team held a walkthrough at the stadium at hard 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.479 Rock Stadium on Sunday, and here's coach talking about how 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.200 important it was to get some of the new guys 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.440 out there just to get familiar with the surroundings they're 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.080 gonna see on Sunday's come the regular season. It's good. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.440 I think we need to. You know, a lot of guys, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.920 we had a lot of new players, they've never been there. 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.960 They've never seen our locker room, they've um they don't 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:53.600 know what the training room is, or where the equipment 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.119 room is, or you know where the showers are or um, 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.279 you know how we walk out to the tunnel. You know, 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.919 I think it's it's good to get out there. You know, 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.720 it's our home stadium. So where's the where's the game clock? 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.640 Where's the for the second clock? I think those things 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.680 you know as a coaching staff to check the headsets 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.200 and you know, do a dry run from that standpoint. 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:14.599 But we got a lot out of it. You know, 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.800 It's it's always good to go to the stadium and 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.120 get on the grass there and get a feelful where 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:24.000 we're gonna actually, you know, play the games that we're preparing. Um, 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.880 you know so much for it, and we're putting all 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.480 this hard work and energy into these practices. It's good 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.080 to get out there and you know, even in a 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.560 walk through setting to to kind of feel the atmosphere 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.359 of being at the stadium. So I think we got 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.160 a lot out of it. We talked a little bit 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.599 about the accolades of Nate Holly, new Dolphins safety coming 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.839 over from the Canadian Football League. Here's coach Flora's talking 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.120 about that signing and what Nate Holly brings to the 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.520 Dolphins defense and special teams. You know, Nate's a good 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.440 year in the CFL a year ago. Um, he's fast, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.359 he's tough, you know, as far as positions, you know, 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.320 right now, we're just gonna get him out there, probably 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.640 more in the safety role safety by as special team, 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.000 but he's played some linebackers, so you know, look, his 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:06.520 role is gonna be what he makes it. Like we 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.600 tell all all the all the players on the team, Um, 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.640 you know, I don't. I don't consider myself. I'm not 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.359 a really good recruiter. I mean that's that's that's no, 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.599 that wasn't my role in this. Uh but you know 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.160 it came in. He worked out and did a good job. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:20.640 I want to work out, but I think you know, 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.000 an opportunity to play on any NFL teams is a 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:27.280 is a it's a privilege. So m he took the opportunity, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.120 and you know, we're happy to have him. He says 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.000 it all the time, but I love that phrasing. Your 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:32.880 role is gonna be what you make it on this 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.160 football team. Next, coach was asked about how often he 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.240 feels like Ryan Fitzpatrick makes him forget that he's actually 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.000 thirty seven years old. I talked about his touchdown run 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.680 during Saturday's practice and how much it looks like he 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.600 still just enjoys being out here. Here's coach Floress talking 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.160 about Ryan Fitzpatrick at thirty seven, showing his youthful side. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.599 You know, probably every day, you know, I'm thirty nine 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.960 and it's hard to think that I could go out 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.840 there and you know, getting a huddle and run around 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.760 with these guys, you know, as much as he does. 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.800 So look, it's a testament to the way he works 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.839 in the off season and his work ethic and his 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.000 town and ability. So he's a good player. He's a 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.440 competitive guy, he's smart, and he just has you know, 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.160 good feel for you know, the quarterback position. He's got 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.240 good leadership. So probably every day and that will do it. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.280 If you want to go see Coach Floors his entire 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.960 press conference, you can check that out on Miami Dolphins 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.520 dot com, on our YouTube page, basically wherever the Miami 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.280 Dolphins are you can find that content. We'll go ahead 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.000 and now and turn it over to the practice notes 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.600 for the day on this Monday, Augus edition, the sixth 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.160 day of padded practices, and we start as we do 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.720 every day, with a few notes here. Jerome Baker was 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.760 back out on the practice field, so that was good 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.480 to see. A few players did not finish practice, however, 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.240 linebacker Kyle van Noy, running back Patrick Laired, and cornerback 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.640 Noah ig Bitogamy. We're not out there at the end 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.360 of practice. We'll go ahead and get you guys an 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.160 update on them just as soon as we have it. 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.120 It was a bit of a lighter practice on Monday, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.600 lots of special teams work, and as you know, coach 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.320 will harp on the importance of the kicking game as 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.320 much as he possibly can, so no surprise there. They 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.720 opened up practice with some kid cutting on the music, 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.880 so that was a plus, especially since it was the 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.440 first time I've heard a song that I recognized so 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.480 far in training camp. The bad news was the cherry 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.000 pickers were setting up on the far field, which makes 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.080 it a lot more difficult to get you real insight 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.520 and analysis on the plays as they happen, particularly on 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.600 the offensive and defensive line up front. And boy was 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.080 it windy out there. The roster cards we all get 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.800 every day, we're blowing all over the place. At one 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.959 point my sunglasses on the table, even those as heavy 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.840 as they are, shifted off the platform. But we welcome 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.240 that weather here on these hot summer days. I only 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.720 broke a mild sweat today, so that was a big plus. 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.320 Up on the media press row, my first note from 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.079 the individual drills is that Christian Wilkins, we talked about 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.720 this just looks so much slimmer and is moving around 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.880 like he is too. I saw him drop into the 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.640 hook zone during the individual drills and snatch a one 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.760 handed interception up over his head. He is so athletic 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.280 for a guy that wighs three hundred and fifteen pounds. 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.640 I saw Xavian Howard down on the field doing some 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.280 conditioning drills. He was bouncing around pretty good, so that 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.280 was nice to see from the Dolphin's cornerback. Got my 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.680 eyes over in the linebackers and watched Kyle van Noy 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.720 for a couple of drills. He was working on his 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.480 hand drills in the individuals and the rush moves, and 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.280 you see all that stuff come together with lateral agility 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.720 to run all those stunts and twists and games up front. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.679 We love to see it's clockwork for this guy. He 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.600 really stands out among the rest in that way. Gary 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.720 Jennings touchdown at the end of practice a bonus red 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.080 zone period from two a tongue of violoa. More on 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.080 that here in just one moment, but he really caught 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.960 my eye throughout the course of the day. In the 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.959 individual drills. He just looks bigger than the sixth one 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.240 that he's listed at. In my opinion, I find his 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.880 release game very interesting as well. He had one where 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.440 he didn't even contact the dummy the coach was holding 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.280 up across from him. In those individual drills working on 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.720 the release off the line of scrimmage, he just worked 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.960 around it with some shifty moves. Shows you some of 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.880 the short area bursts that really made him so productive 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.240 in college. On the other side, the cornerbacks were working 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.800 on playing the inside shoulder and trying to run that 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.200 inside shoulder to the sideline to really help pin the 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.400 receiver up against the perimeter. I've seen Noah Ignogamy drill 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.040 this and then rerap it and practice during those team 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.720 periods and really make it effective when you're going live 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.800 against the receivers on the other side of the ball. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.520 Seeing that several times there from Noah watched the cornerbacks 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.360 do it all day in the pre practice portion. Then 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.160 I gotta look at Malcolm Perry just watching him do everything. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.600 It's all just so fast. He's so springy in the 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.000 way he can get to a spot and then explode 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:34.240 off that plant foot and just move around as a receiver, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:35.839 as a running back, whatever you want him to do. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.400 He just looks explosive in all aspects of the game. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.120 And Preston Williams is similar, which is crazy because he's 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.320 six ft five. He's not as shifty obviously, but man, 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.520 he is so smooth and has such quick feet for 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.679 a guy that size. We'll hear from Preston here in 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.280 just one minute, and we'll also hear from Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.160 on both of his receivers, and Williams and Parker and 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.320 back on the topic of the wind here, each of 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.080 the quarterbacks, I thought through the ball exceptionally well through 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.560 that wind and can really push the ball through the wind, 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.959 but fits into a we're just layering the ball all 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.240 over the place, showing some really good zip as well. 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.559 Good work out there by all three of those guys. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.320 On Monday, Flowers and Wilkins had a bit of a 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.040 chip chat after a rep, if you want to call 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.160 it that. Wilkins tried to bull rush Eric Flowers and 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.880 he just walled it off and completely dropped the anchor there. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.320 They stayed engaged for a little bit, gut each other's faces, 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.160 and then it ended with a quick shove and they 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:24.640 were back to being buddies again, but a little bit 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.319 hippy there in camp as it can be. And then 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.200 during the one on one portion of practice, I had 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.199 a couple of wins here in that portion. Shack Lawson 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.880 had a nice win on Austin Jackson, Danny Isadora had 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.520 a nice win on Zach Seeler, Andrew Van Ginkle put 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.520 Julian Davenport on his back on one pass rush move. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.400 Bobby McCain came down and the coverage drills and covered 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.920 up Isaiah Ford and man, he really stays in that 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.560 hip pocket. Really good coverage there. I just haven't seen 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.680 any mistakes from Bobby or a bad plays from Bobby 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.280 all camp long. He had a very strong camp so far. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.720 We'll touch more on him and just one second. Dietrich 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.240 Nichols had a really good rep on Preston Williams. He 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.800 did very well to not get stacked. Then Preston tried 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.680 to come back down on a comeback route and he 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.880 played through the player very well, but it's not make 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.720 contact and got his hands on the football. Very impressive 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.000 rep there from Dietrich Nichols. Lawson again getting after in 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.040 the one on one, did a little dance move after 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.520 a second pass rush win. Then I got my eyes 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.079 on Nathan Holly for the first rep of the day, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:19.760 and I saw him put a tight end on the 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.760 ground in that five yard window where you can press 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.800 the receiver and the ball sailed in complete. Very aggressive 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.280 but in control. With that first rep I saw, I 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.439 saw Jennings contested goal line route. He pulled down a 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.559 fade over Tay Hayes. After that, he had a really 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.640 good day on this Monday practice. And then Bobby wants 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.120 again another good job in coverage running a route for 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.319 the receiver. I couldn't see who it was, but Bobby 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.360 ran inside and snagged himself an interception in that one 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.120 on one period. All right, let's go ahead and get 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.320 to the teeth of it all here the team period 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.480 of practice, and I'm just gonna start here again with 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.360 Devanta Parker. He continues to make big plays, and he's 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.640 doing it in a variety of ways. We know about 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.599 the vertical, down filled ability of Davanta Parker, where he 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.680 can high point the ball and outrebound everybody on the field, 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.920 but we also heard him talk about working on other 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.920 routes like the comeback we talked on I think it 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.040 was Saturday's show about him catching a comeback to kick 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.360 off practice. Well, today he caught one in the middle 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.800 of the field, working through traffic on an inbreaking route, 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.080 really rounding out his game and just looking like a 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.480 complete receiver at this point. And you'll hear Fitzpatrick talk 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.480 about this a little bit later on. He had another 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.280 touchdown catch where Byron Jones actually breaks up the past 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.040 but Davante, as he is wont to do, he stays 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.120 with it as he's falling to the ground and snatches 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.560 the ball for a touchdown. He caught another pass later 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.560 on in team period that was a bit low, but 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.120 he went down and dug it out of the turf 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.880 for another chunk game. Just a big time playmaker so 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.680 far here through six days of padded practices. Very impressive 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.280 for Davanta Parker. Now. I mentioned Byron Jones and there 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.920 he's been on Parker and Williams now for six practices 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.720 and it's just been a heavy weight, all out match 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.040 up every single time. He had a rep where I 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.559 really appreciated where it was third down an eight or so, 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.000 and he played it patient to let Preston Williams catch 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.720 the ball underneath, but closed down quickly for it would 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.160 be tackle short of the sticks. Then again later in 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.880 red zone when Williams got on top of him, Fits 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.760 tried to throw the ball flat where you don't arc 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.480 the ball so much, you just throw a straight line, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.240 and Jones was able to poke his hand in there 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.920 at the last minute and force an incompletion on that pass. 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.360 The other Jones Brandon Jones, Man, this guy moved so well. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.760 You're gonna hear Andrew Van Geekl later on talk about 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.360 the manipulation of the offense for the how the defense 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.840 wants to change the way the offense perceives things, and 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.560 then hit him with another look on the defensive side. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.200 That's why I see a lot of Brandon Jones is 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.600 a game because he closes ground in such a hurry. 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.080 He's active both pre and post nap every single play 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.840 out there. Another guy who was getting after every snap, 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.880 it seemed on Monday, was Davon Gotcha with a big practice. 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.120 He started off the team period with a big tackle 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.480 for loss where he broke through, wrapped up the back 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.320 and kind of chucked him, but like in the safe 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.600 and smart way, a good teammate way, and he was 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.600 in the backfield a lot on Monday. My favorite thing 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.320 about Devon is watching the surge he gets with the 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.480 initial contract contact, always resetting the line of scrimmage across 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.680 from him. The defense in general was getting good kind 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.200 of trade early in this practice, I thought Shack Lawson 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.880 had a good day both as a pass rusher and 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.080 against the run. He had a sack and then he 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.520 came off the edge with a really impressive rundown rep 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.480 in the red zone period, and that's where his game 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.600 really shines on tape. Consistently playing that strong edge in 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.680 the running game, and he showed the power to knock 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.720 his man back and then worked off the block for 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.920 a tackle for loss. I had stopped in the first 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.720 period for God shop for Jack Lawson, Rae Kwon Davis, 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.880 Jason Strowbridge, Zach Seiler, and Christian Wilkins all getting in 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.320 there and getting active against the running game. And speaking 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.840 of Zack Seeler, he continues to have a very strong 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.440 training camp. He shocks with that power and that length, 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.240 but I've also seen him doing a lot of stuff 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.720 or the first step is working sideways, showing you some 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.240 lateral agility. Big news for a guy that big. It's 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.880 very impressive the way he moves at that size. The 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.840 first period ends with a long touchdown past seventy yards 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.400 coming off the arm of rookie quarterback to a tonga Byloa. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.760 And he had himself quite a day on Monday. He 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.160 started off early, and I talked with John con Jemmy 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.720 on our platform a solid fifteen feet apart up there 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.120 on press Row about how the ball comes out quick. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.760 A lot of the same things you see on the 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.240 Bama tape, you see it out here at Dolphins practice. 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.640 His first rip was on a slant pass to mac 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.000 Hollins to set the touchdown play up. Then, of course 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.120 a long touchdown to Malcolm Perry. Coverage was tight underneath, 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.000 but Perry did well to stack it and the ball 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.520 could not have been handed there any better than it was. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.520 Really a perfect deep pass for a guy who broke 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.040 records in college throwing the football vertically down the football field. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:24.800 He had a really nice throw on the move to 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.280 mac Hollins later on again, on a first and tent 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.200 from the fifteen yard line, working on red zone. Hollins 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.640 was moving towards the perimeter and to a stepped up 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.480 and moved and put the ball right on the money 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.800 for a nice toe drag. He then ended practice with 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.000 another impressive touchdown throw, this one to Ricardo Lewis where 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.280 he stepped up and out of pressure off the edge 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.560 from Tishan render more on him and just one second 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.320 and as to a kind of approached the line of scrimmage, 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.600 he throws a deep in breaking route to Ricardo Lewis, 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.400 who turned and the ball was just right on the 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.320 bread basket, never broke stride went in for six for 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.320 another touchdown. Past there another touchdown, this one coming on 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.360 the ground from a guy who has a big run 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.000 every single it seemed so far, in Jordan Howard from 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.120 fifteen yards out. Both Eric Flowers and Austin Jackson took 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.480 out the edge in the running game and Howard escaped 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.880 off that side and ran for a touchdown. He also 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.919 caught a big block on the outside from Preston Williams, 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.760 something coach loves talking about his receivers those big guys 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.600 blocking on the perimeter. I also noted how well Jerome 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.680 Baker has been at fitting gaps so far in camp. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.560 We talked about the defensive lineman getting there for the 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.520 running game, but he came down for a big run 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.920 stop in red zone and hasn't a good job without 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.080 the course of six practices. I think you're gonna see 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.760 a very fast player play even faster now in year 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.879 two of the system. Back to Tyshan Render, he had 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.000 himself a day a lot of two US throws that 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:38.800 he was stepping up from pressure. A lot of that 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.560 was coming from number sixty four. I also noted one 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.880 play that was perhaps my favorite of camp so far. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.760 I'm kind of weird. I'll take an effort play over 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.439 a seventy yard touchdown just about any single day of 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.159 the week. On an outside run, Render throws his initial 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.920 punch at the offensive line, saw the play get outside 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.399 and chased it down to the sideline and finish it 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.760 off with a nice push out of bounds. He wonted 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.880 a award at Middle Tennessee for hustling, a hustle type 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.160
