What is up? Dolphins? And 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.600 welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part of the Miami 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:20.560 Dolphins Official podcast network covering your Miami Dolphins. I am 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:24.000 your host, Travis Wingfield, and as always, I am here 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.600 to bring you your daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.920 And on today's show, the coaching staff is complete once more. 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.000 We'll talk about the promotion of Josh Grizzard and the 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:39.080 subsequent coaching staff alterations. Plus Flores proposes a rule change 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.160 to the competition committee. What that tells us about him? 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.839 And finally, finally we've got compensatory picks. The Dolphins fourteen 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.640 picks are now tangible. We'll get into those picks and 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.080 how the Dolphins got to this war chest of draft picks, 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.120 and will jump back into free agency with five under 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.240 the radar players from Charlie Casserley as well as players 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.480 number sixty on through eight on Pro Football Focuses list 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.720 of the top one three agents available this March. All 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.880 of that and more on this Wednesday, March eleventh edition 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:16.039 of the Drive Time Podcast, and we start today's podcast 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.240 with coaching news as Miami had one more position to 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.319 fill after the vacancy left by Carl Durrell taking the 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.920 head coaching job at the University of Colorado, And if 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.560 you didn't catch that a couple of weeks ago on 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.120 the podcast, and Flores talked in Indianapolis about the loss 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.800 of coach Durrell going to a Power five program to 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:34.920 be a head coach, but he also lamented the fact 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.920 that Durrell absolutely deserved that honor and that distinction to 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.280 earn a head coaching job in the college ranks and 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.520 said he wants to empower his coaches to always be 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.600 able to take that next step to the next level 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.160 and better their selves and their careers in the coaching industry. 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.440 So with Darrell's departure, we have a new receiver's coach 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.840 and the Dolphins elect to promote from within. Assistant wide 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.720 receivers coach Josh Grizzard will now become the head of 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.320 the wide receiver's room as he enters his fourth year 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.480 with the Miami Dolphins. He got here back in seventeen 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.920 as offensive quality control and was recently promoted to that 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.920 assistant wide receivers coach. Prior to Darrell's departure and this 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.080 higher This promotion is not unique to the Dolphins coaching 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.800 staff because Grizzard his college resume includes plenty of work 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.000 with highly touted draft picks and versatile options about the 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.440 coaching staff, whether it's working with quarterbacks or wide receivers 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.680 on the offensive staff, assisting in game day decisions and 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.280 game planning. He did plenty of that on Duke's staff 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.480 as a graduate assistant and quality control coach from through 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.840 but he primarily worked with quarterbacks and had two seasons 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.680 with number six overall pick in the twenty nineteen draft, 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.120 Daniel Jones, So he worked on developing Jones during his 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.359 red shirt season and his red shirt freshman season. Prior 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.799 to Jones arriving, he worked with quarterback Thomas Sirk, who 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.399 became just the third a C C quarterback to throw 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.960 for better than yards and rush for more than eight 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.880 hundred yards. Grizzard worked at Duke, one of the biggest 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.440 prestigious programs in terms of academia on the college landscape 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.840 as far as the college he attended as a student 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.480 was Yale in the IVY League. So this guy clearly 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.600 has the smarts required to be a coach on Brian 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:18.079 flores staff. Teaching, smart, tough, determined, hard worker. We had 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.120 great endorsements from Davon god Shaw and DeVante Parker. Parker 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.760 obviously breaking out last season with twelve two yards, which 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.440 was fifth in the National Football League and nine touchdown catches, 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.000 ranking fourth in the NFL. He had positive praise for 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.280 Josh Grizzard and this promotion to receiver's coach, and Devon 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.720 Godshaw went even further on that a defensive lineman praising 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.360 the receiver's coach, talking about how he worked his rear 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:47.160 end off to get himself into this position. So smart, teaching, work, ethic, 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.440 all those things aligned with all these coaches under Brian Flores. 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.880 He obviously has a type and those guys have to 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.760 be able to work just as hard as Brian Flores 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.760 has throughout the course of his career to get in 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.840 this position. To round out the coaching staff, and in 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.560 the absence of Carl Darrell, the Dolphins will not name 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.800 an assistant head coach under Brian Flora's but they will, however, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.520 promote special teams coordinator Danny Crossman and tight ends coach 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.560 George Gatzie into more increased duties, including heavy involvement in 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.520 game management as well as throughout the week. The game 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.160 day management stuff comes down to challenges, time outs, helping 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.560 Flora's manage the substitution packages, everything that happens on a 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.240 game day. Flora's will have his contingency there to help 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.159 him in Danny Croftsman as well as George Godzi, and 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.920 they also will be involved throughout the week and establishing 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.080 game plans and assisting Flora's anyway they see fit for 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.800 the head coach. A couple of quick notes on Crossman 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.200 and Godzi. Crossman's unit last year converted several trick plays 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.440 as we all saw, including Mountaineer shoot a touchdown past 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.520 thrown by punter Matt Hawk to kicker Jason Sanders, and 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.000 that touchdown was named the NFL's bridge Stone Play of 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.400 the Year. For the nineteen season. Under Godzi, we saw 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.719 Mike Gasicki enjoy his breakout sophomore campaign in which he 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.720 ranked twelve among tight ends in both receiving yards receptions 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.880 with five hundred and seventy yards and fifty one receptions, 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.799 and he was fifth and touchdowns among tight ends with five, 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:19.760 including this one against the Patriots. It's trip down my GASSICKI. Well, 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:26.240 the stadium got real quiet, real quick. GASICKI lined up 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.719 to the right, all three receivers out to the left. 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.400 Bryan Fitzpatrick plants it and fires it. He just works 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.920 through the outside, does a little stick somethan can't get 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.080 his left arm in there to knock it away. I 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.720 can't say enough without the way Ryan Fitzpatrick has stayed today. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.520 He stayed in there taking heat all day. With the 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:54.640 hits he's taken. Continue to fire away over yards passed. Now, 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.200 maybe that went on a little bit too long, but 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.800 I wanted to let that sound marinate there because hearing 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.960 Gillette Stadium, That's island is a thing of beauty for 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.320 Dolphins fans. Fitzpatrick tookasiki for the game winner in Week 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.279 seventeen to beat the Patriots at seventeen and a half 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.719 point underdogs, the biggest spread differential in thirty years in 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.640 the NFL, and the Dolphins came out victorious that day 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.040 at Gillette Stadium. The best part of that clip you 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.680 watch the video, Brian Flores is over there clapping and 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.039 high fiving and given fist bumps, huge smile across his face. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.640 You love seeing that from coaching his rookie year getting 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.680 that signature whim in year number one. Other Dolphins news 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:32.479 from Tuesday. Seven rule changes were submitted to the Competition 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.520 Committee on Tuesday. The Dolphins were authors of one of 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.520 those proposed rule changes. First from the Philadelphia Eagles. They 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.279 want to modify the blindside block rule to prevent unnecessary fouls. 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.360 They want to make permanent the expansion of automatic replay 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:50.000 reviews to include scoring plays and turnovers negated by a foul, 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.560 and any successful or unsuccessful try attempt. They'd like to 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.599 provide an alternative to onside kicks that would allow a 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.200 team who was trailing in the game with an opportunity 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.320 to maintain possession of the football after scoring. It's the 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.360 old fourth and fifteen from the kicking team's own twenty five. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.320 You have to convert or you turn it back over 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.840 deep in your own territory. They also want to restore 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.480 the preseason and regular season overtime to fifteen minutes and 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.160 implement rules to minimize the impact of the overtime coin toss. 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.760 The Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers together submitted the 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.680 idea to add a booth umpire as an eighth game 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.480 official to the officiating crew, and they also want to 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.800 add a senior technology advisor to the referee to assist 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.560 the officiating crew. Now, the Dolphins rule proposal is very 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.640 much a game day management, a very situationally aware. Understand 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.520 the parameters of the scoreboard, the down and distance, all 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.320 that stuff on every single play. That's how you get 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.400 smart players that make good decisions within the situation of 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.600 the game. The rules this provide the option to the 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.280 defense for the game clock to start on the referee 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.880 signal if the defense declines an offensive penalty that occurs 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.760 late in either half. So if the offense is trying 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.200 to mount a comeback and let's say the quarterback takes 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.560 a sack and there's a holding call, they would stop 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.360 the clock in that situation, even though the defense declines 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.640 the holding and accepts the sack as the result of 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.720 the play. So Miami is proposing a change and they 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.440 wants the clock to keep winding and provide the defense 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.080 with the proper advantage it earned by making a play 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.280 in accordance with the offensive penalty. So when we find 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.160 out about the acceptance or rejection of those rules, will 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.080 have you covered here on the Drive Time podcast, and 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.800 a new development across the league today, the NFL announced 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.040 the thirty two compensatory picks that were awarded two teams 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.840 across the NFL, and the Dolphins were a beneficiary of 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.320 two additional selections. A couple of teams got four, several 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.959 teams got three, the Dolphins and Ravens got two picks, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.920 and a few other teams got one pick. In the 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.079 compensatory formula. The Dolphins pick up by fourth and seventh 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.040 round draft pick in accordance with the departures of Juwan 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:54.120 James and Brandon Bolden slash Frank Gore last offseason. That 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.679 brings the club's total to a league high fourteen selections 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.760 this year. I want to run down the Dolphins draft 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.640 picks with you, as we do have official placement of 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.480 those draft picks now from the league office, and we'll 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.120 have an article up on Miami Dolphins dot com covering 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.240 all this information and detail about the Dolphins draft picks. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.320 And we start in the first round, where the Dolphins 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.679 have possession of three draft picks, their own number five overall, 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.360 the organic draft pick in accordance with Miami's finish in 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.160 twenty nineteen, the eighteenth pick as part of the Mega 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.600 Fitzpatrick trade and the third pick in the first round 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.280 being number twenty six overall from the Houston Texans and 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.040 the Laramie Tunsel and Kenny Stills trades. In the second round, 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.280 the Dolphins on the thirty ninth pick that is their own. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.920 They also have a New Orleans draft pick, number fifty 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.559 six overall, and that came from the twenty nineteen Draft 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.480 day trade down in the second round last season. The 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.400 third round, the Dolphins have one pick, number seventy overall. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.560 In the fourth round, the compensatory pick for Juwan James 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.160 comes in here. That pick checks in at number one 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.400 forty one overall. The Dolphins have three draft choices in 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.199 the fifth round, number one fifty three overall from the 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.959 Pittsburgh Steelers and that was part of the late round 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.720 draft picks swap. There in accordance with at trade, we 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.360 also have the one hundred and fifty fourth overall pick, 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.400 so back to back picks there in the fifth round, 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.280 This one comes from the l A. Rams and the 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.120 akeep to Leave trade. The Dolphins also have one seventy 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.640 three overall in the fifth round as part of the 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.640 Kenyan Drake trade with the Arizona Cardinals in the sixth round. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.520 The Dolphins make one draft pick, number one eight five overall, 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.120 and they'll have three picks in the seventh round, number 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.439 two twenty seven overall, number two forty six overall, and 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.920 number two fifty one overall. Those all aligned with Robert 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.520 Quinn trades, the Jordan Lucas trade from eighteen in September 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.319 finally comes home to roost here in twenty and a 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.160 compensatory draft pick for Brandon Bolden and Frank Gore's departures 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.280 last off season. So it's fourteen picks in total. The 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.800 Dolphins have three in the first round, two in the second, 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.439 one in the third, one in the fourth, three picks 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.600 in the fifth round, one in the sixth, and three 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.040 picks in the seventh round. A lot to account for, 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.680 as many of these picks have traded hands multiple times. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.800 A pair of September first trades an acquisition of Danny 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.040 Isadora and Evan Bam last season, and saw late round 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.760 picks exchanged. The East of Dora trade sent a seventh 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.440 round pick to Minnesota, while the Dolphins and Colts made 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.000 a trade of conditional picks in the sixth and seventh 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.120 rounds for the offensive lineman in Evan Bam. There were 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.320 multiple mid round picks exchanged as part of those two 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.640 Markeee trades made with both Houston and Pittsburgh. First, the 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.400 Tunzel and Stills trade brought back two first round picks, 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.120 a second round pick an offensive tackle Julian Davenport. Also 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.760 part of that trade, we sent our own fourth round 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.200 pick in twenty twenty and a sixth round pick next 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.000 year to Houston in one. The Minka Fitzpatrick trade in 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.199 addition to the eighteenth pick this year in twenty twenties draft, 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:42.000 also brought back a round pick and one sixth round 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.720 draft pick. The Dolphins sent over with the safety a 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.320 fourth round pick this year and a seventh round pick 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.679 in one to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ryan Tannehill was a 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.240 trade to the Titans last offseason. Right around this time 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.160 of year. The Dolphins sent Tannehill and a twenty nineteen 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.560 sixth round draft choice to the Titans. In return, Miami 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.360 got a seventh round draft pick last season and round 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.840 pick in this year's draft, but that pick was sent 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.120 off in the Minca Fitzpatrick trade over to Pittsburgh. The 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.640 Dolphins also get a fifth round draft pick in accordance 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.800 with the Kenyan Drake trade that sent him over to 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.200 Arizona at last year's deadline, giving Miami a total of 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.160 fourteen draft picks this year. We're sitting on nine draft 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.480 picks next year. And if the compensatory formula confuses something 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.640 out there, it's a pretty simple process. It essentially accounts 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.480 for what goes out from your team as far as 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.079 assets and what comes in. So if you lose more 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.960 players than you gain in terms of free agent contract value, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.080 that awards compensatory picks to the team. So it's the 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.720 teams that are inactive in free agency and lose players 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.880 to get the comp pics. I'll get you updated on 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.600 the exact order of those picks on an article up 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.800 on Miami Dolphins dot com, as well as tomorrow's Drivetime podcast, 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.520 which will also feature a dive into free agency and 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.920 contracts and how the deals are done. You don't want 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.560 to miss that podcast. And speaking of how free agency 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.400 is done, let's jump now back into part two of 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.440 our free agency preview. Here on the Drivetime podcast, we 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.040 went over players eighty one through one hundred on Pro 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.160 Football focuses list of the top one hundred available free 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.280 agents this offseason. Today, we're gonna talk about player sixty 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.680 one through eighty. But first, Charlie castro Ley, friend of 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.480 the Drive Time podcast, went on the NFL Network and 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.200 talked about his five under the radar free agents. So 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.600 let's go ahead and go over those real quick, and 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:27.440 Charlie stayed in the trenches, listing an offensive lineman, four 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.719 defensive players in the front seven, with three on the 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.920 defensive line, and one linebacker. We start with the tackle 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.880 from the Seahawks, George Fan, and he's an interesting player 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.000 because he was a college hooper, super athletic, but he 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.920 is also a massive, massive human being at six ft five, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.120 three hundred and thirty pounds. He's really been playing football 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.040 for less amount of time than I've been doing the 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.000 whole podcast thing, just four or five years now, and 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.280 he was a backup in Seattle for the most part, 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.120 but he got plenty of playing time because of some 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.840 injuries to the tackles on that offensive line, whether it 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.960 was Dwayne Brown or Jermaine Effetti. But he played swing 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.200 tackle left right side. Gives you an agnostic presence in 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.800 that way. But he also played plenty of heavy packages 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.400 as the sixth offensive lineman coming into the game, so 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.160 he gives you experience, he gives you flexibility on either 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.559 side of the offensive line, and he can blow people 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.560 off the football as the sixth offensive lineman in the game. 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.560 We'll see what kind of contract he gets, but he's 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.680 not gonna be in that tier. One of the tackles 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.840 at the top of the class, like the Jack Conklin's 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.000 of the world. Number two was DJ Reader, a defensive 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.080 tackle from the Houston Texans. This dude defines a space 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.280 eater three seven pounds. Put him up over the nose. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.400 He can just PLoP in there and hold up the 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.120 point of attack and free up your linebackers. He's also 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.360 a super high motor, super high effort guy that wins 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.280 with that quite a few times. Javon Hargrave also on 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.200 their defensive linem from the Pittsburgh Steelers. This guy is 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.640 a damn good football player. He has position flexibility, can 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.240 play the nose, can play all the way out to 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.520 the five tech, and everything in between. Great pass rusher, 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:59.800 consistently productive, thick built lower half, smooth feet that are 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.040 tiger than you would expect from a guy that size. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.320 He can stunt, twist and slant from those variable positions. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.960 He can play across the defensive line. We stay on 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.320 the defensive line and go to the Saints for David 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.160 anya Mata. He's a rotational player the last couple of years, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.520 but really shined kind of like George Fan when he 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.280 got his chances to play because of injuries. Ridiculous ridiculous 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.520 power from on your Mata. Finally, Bud Dupree eleven and 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.520 a half sacks. I'm not sure I would call him 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.800 and under the radar guy because he was a first 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.160 round pick and has the production to go along with 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.320 that first round draft pick. He's a built in a 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:35.000 lab type of player, height, weight, speed, explosiveness, really good 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.760 edge rusher off the outside part, and he probably plays 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.200 more of a traditional linebacker role in a two point 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.200 stance on the ball on the edge as your linebacker 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.040 out there. So fan reader, Hargrave, on your Mata and 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.400 Dupree round out cast release five under the Radar free 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.920 agents he talked about on Tuesday on NFL Network, and 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.080 now we shift our focus back to the list from 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.280 yesterday's podcast, taking a look at players one through one 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.160 hundred on Pro Football Focus, his top one hundred free 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.560 agents available this coming off season just one week away. 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.080 We're getting there. The new league year is almost here, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.120 Almost time for football once again, ahead of the actual 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.119 football on the field. We start with number eighty linebacker 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.200 Josh Bines. He was once an undrafted free agent of 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.960 the Baltimore Ravens back in tleven and he's made the 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.760 most of his career and his opportunities. He's played for 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.320 three different organizations, with two stints in Baltimore, the first 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.320 two years of his career there with the Ravens, and 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.800 then last season resigning with the Ravens, where he had 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.920 five total pressures, one sack, one hit, and three hurries. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.840 He only played forty two pass rushed down so more 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.480 of a coverage linebacker in that regard. In fact, he 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.120 only has two hundred and eighty seven pass rush reps 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.840 in his career, seventeen oh one coverage snaps and fifteen 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.920 thirty six run defense snaps, so that's kind of his game. 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:49.600 You take a look at his run defense grades on 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.480 Pro Football Focus in the green every single year, and 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.960 if you didn't hear yesterday's podcast, first go back and 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.760 check it out. But also the green category means you're 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.880 playing above average starter at that particular role at your 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.920 particular position, So Josh Bonds gets it done in the 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.800 running game. Twenty one run stops last year, thirty four 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.919 the year prior. Had forty three run stops in twenty fifteen, 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.160 his best year as a pro, when he played eight 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.680 hundred and nineteen snaps with the Lions. Number seventy nine 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.679 on Pro Football Focus this list of the top one 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.320 hundred free agents is former Bengals defensive lineman Andrew Billings, 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.320 a fourth round draft pick in twenty sixteen out of Baylor, 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.720 and his production last year was nineteen pressures. Fourteen of 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.920 those were hurries. He had twenty four pressures of the 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.679 year prior. He's played six hundred and fifty seven snaps 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.840 last year, six thirty two the season before, with the 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.119 majority of that coming on the interior defensive line. Number 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.440 seventy eight on this list. A familiar name we just 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.439 talked about him, David Anyamato from the Saints. He was 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:48.200 a Canada product, a fourth round pick out of Manitoba, 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.919 six ft four, three hundred pounds, and he gets it 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.240 done in the running game as well. He made twenty 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.680 run stops on just two hundred and six run down 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.720 plays on that Saints defense, so about ten percent run 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.840 stop percentage. And again, and run stops are tackles within 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.160 two yards of the line of scrimmage. He also had 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.840 thirty seven pressures in ten thirty one last year and 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.920 thirty one in seventeen, so a pretty well rounded player 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.280 that rushes the passer and plays the run. There for 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.480 the Saints. You can see why Charlie cast really liked 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:17.920 his game as an under the radar free agent number 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.520 seventy seven on the defensive line as well. A lot 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.840 of these players on the defensive line. Timmy Journe, again 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:27.000 from Philadelphia. He was second round pick of the Philadelphia 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:31.200 Eagles six ft two to roughly giver take. He hasn't 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.480 played nearly as many snaps last two seasons with the Eagles. 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.399 He was a big snap getter early on with the 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.080 Ravens where he was drafted, and then twenty seventeen as 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.960 a free agent acquisition of the Eagles. He had green 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.320 and blue grades across the board those couple of years, 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:48.120 where he had twenty four total pressures in seventeen as well, 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.040 as seventeen run stops, and he really won with quickness 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:54.040 and size, a good height, weight speed combination. Four Timmy 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.640 Journ again played six hundred thirty one snaps in five 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.000 hundred eighty six snaps in seen, but just one hundred 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:05.320 and three hundred and six snaps last season with the Eagles. 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.800 Number seventy six is a fun player from the Baltimore Ravens, 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.359 Matthew Judean. He was a fifth round draft pick of 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.359 the Ravens back in sixteen and really helped the Ravens 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.280 linebackers carry the water last year after they lost c. J. 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.000 Mosley and Zadarius Smith in free agency. Judon had a 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:25.359 bunch of pressures last year, sixty three pressures, ten sacks, hits, 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.119 quarterback hurries. He did that on four hundred and fifty 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.080 pass rush snaps. So a really really productive pass rusher 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.840 off the edge in that Ravens defense, which is multiple 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:36.800 in terms of how many even in odd fronts they 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.280 play coming off the edge as an on ball linebacker, 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.439 but also playing in those A and B gaps as 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.960 an interior rusher in that Ravens defense. Number seventy five 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.439 is another linebacker, Nick Kwatowski, from the Chicago Bears. He 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.520 was a fourth round draft pick of the Bears. He's 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.960 six ft two, two hundred and forty two pounds. He 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.800 ran a four point seven three forty yard dash at 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.440 the combine. He had a really big breakout season last 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.560 year for the bear Is, playing his highest snap count 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.600 at five hundred and twelve snaps. He had thirteen pressures 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.639 on just thirty nine pass rush reps, so he was successful, 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.280 though the Bears did not ask him to rush the 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.280 quarterback all that often. He played two hundred and eighty 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:16.119 two coverage snaps and one run defense snaps, and he 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.480 was pretty much just good across the board. Had a 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.040 very high pass rush grade because of the frequency with 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.160 which you got out for the quarterback. He also checked 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:25.960 the green boxes and coverage and run defense as well. 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.080
