WEBVTT - Drive Time: Answering Your Mailbag Questions

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Drive Time with Travis Wingfield.

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 2>What is up, Dolphins, and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:16.479
<v Speaker 2>I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the mail Bag, I'm only answering your guys's questions. It's

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 2>a long one. We're gonna get to all those. Let's

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 2>jump in from the Baptist Hill Studios inside the Baptist

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Health Training Complex. This is the Draft Time Podcast. Let's

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and crack open this mail bag?

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Do I have I do not have the Blues Clues

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>mail drop?

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I should have that, really, I mean I could go

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 2>put it in right now, but we're gonna skip over that.

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I tweeted about this and.

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it was last week, and then you guys

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>put a bunch of great questions in there, and I

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>wound up going way too deep on the a chan

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 2>and corners versus pass rush debate or topic and wound

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>up blowing right past a bunch of the mail bag questions.

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 2>So I thought, let's go ahead and just dedicate a

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>whole episode.

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>To the mail bag.

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 2>There's all kinds of questions in there. You can do

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 2>an entire show off of this stuff. And little transparency

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 2>peak behind the curtain here open the kimono, whatever you

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 2>want to say, peel back the onion. You guys really

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 2>help me by doing that, because I've got so much

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 2>content to get done before I go on paternity leave

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>as my third child, my second daughter is going to

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>get here sometime in mid to late June, and I

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 2>have to basically have like five or six weeks of

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 2>content ready and I have none of that done yet.

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>So you guys really helped me kind of get a

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 2>quick episode in and I can get to work on

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>future episodes. So let's go ahead and jump into the

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 2>mail bag here. I tweeted about this and it did

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>come from the mail bag, but I thought it was

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 2>worth pulling back up here because it's.

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>How do I say this?

0:01:55.480 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes my frustrations with like the commentary of you know,

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 2>other people covering the Dolphins is because I feel like

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 2>it sometimes put the impetus on correcting that incorrect take,

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>for instance, the three nose tackles things. To be as

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>nice about as I possibly can, to have that thought,

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 2>to have that level of understanding, it just means you

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>haven't done the homework. And now I'm trying to be

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>as kind as I can about that, because that's all

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 2>that would produce that take, because if you just go

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>back and watch the tape, if you go and look

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 2>at the numbers, you can find the stuff. With a

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>thirty second Google search, you can find it. And so

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was worth covering here because I tweeted

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 2>about it, but I just want to go ahead and

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>put it on the show. I put most of my

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>content on this show, all of my content, I should say,

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>and I only put a small amount of what I

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.399
<v Speaker 2>do on social anymore, because that's very much intentional.

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I would.

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 2>For instance, I was just on a Twitter thread and

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 2>it was a video of a guy turning down the television.

0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>They're at a family dinner and he was across the

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 2>table from his wife and the television is on like

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>volume thirty behind her head, and he turns down to

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>like volume eight, and she looks up and acknowledges like, oh,

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>thank you, sweetheart, Like he knew that she does not

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 2>like a loud TV at family dinner, so he turned

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 2>it down and she gave him like an unspoken thank you.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 2>And I went in the thread and every single reply

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 2>was from a bot, obviously, but it was like, grock,

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>explain this, what's happening? Why don't I understand this video.

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 2>It's like, well, dude, because you haven't. All you do

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 2>look at your phone day like you don't have an

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>education because you're too stupid a thing for yourself. And

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>that's why I don't really use Twitter anymore, because it's

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.839
<v Speaker 2>either boss or morons, and I just can't really deal

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>with that. So I apologize if you're active on Twitter.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 2>There's some good accounts on there still, but it is

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 2>a wretched website these days, and so I don't use

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>it very often, but i'd use it for the Twitter

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>mailbag when I need you guys just help producing the show.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>So I tweeted about it and it was about the

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 2>nose tackle comment. So Kenneth Grant played almost three times

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>as many snaps in the B gaps last year at

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Michigan as he did in the A gaps. The B

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 2>gap means you are basically no further than the inside

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>shoulder off of the guard or no further inside than that,

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 2>and the A gaps are when you play head up

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>over the center or off either either shoulder of the center.

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Phillips played two hundred and forty three snaps in

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the B gaps compared to two hundred and eighty three

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>in the A gaps, So he did play more nos,

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>but by forty snaps and compared to you know, two

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty versus two hundred and eighty. And when

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I watched his tape, I mean the tape is the

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.919
<v Speaker 2>biggest indicator of all this stuff. Watch his tape and

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I think that he that the real professional upside and

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.479
<v Speaker 2>where you can unlock Jordan Phillips as a guy that

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I liked on on day two because of his upside

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.280
<v Speaker 2>is as like a three technique Christian Wilkins type who

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>has pass rush wiggle but also the strength to hold

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 2>a point against the run. It's like an eighty percent

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 2>snap taker that I think he can be at that

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 2>position with some work inside at the nose tackle. But

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that Zeke Biggers was drafted more because remember

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 2>this is like going back to the thing like he

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>didn't catch passes as a running back in college. Why

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>is he going to do it as a pro. You

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>can't say that because if he wasn't asked to do it,

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>and that's all you have to go off of, and

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>that's all you have to go off of.

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>But once he gets to.

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>The pros, he might have that workload expanded a little bit,

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>And so if I watch a player at college, I

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>don't just say that's all he's going to be. And

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>that's why, like, these data points are great, but I

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 2>want to extrapolate the film tolls me tells me. Yeah,

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Kenneth Grant can be a disrupted to zero and one technique,

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 2>but he also can play a three technique and win

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>from that position. Jordan Phillips played more NOS and can

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>do it, but I think that his best work in

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.799
<v Speaker 2>the NFL is going to be as a three technique.

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And then Zeke Biggers, who I think profiles by far

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the most as a true NFL NOS tackle, a seventh

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 2>round draft pick who I kind of think you're going

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 2>to get like ten twelve snaps a game from this

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.919
<v Speaker 2>year as a based down heavy front nose tackle that

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 2>just clogs lanes and plays the run game. I think

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>that's his projection at the next level. But that's not

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 2>what Georgia Tech had him do. They had him played

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and sixty nine snaps in the B gap

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 2>compared to just forty two as a nose tackle in

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>the A gap. So the data tells you straight to

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>your face, that ain't what it is, and the film

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>further confirms that. In fact, the film kind of flips

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the point on Biggers because he is an NFL nose

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 2>tackle in my opinion, Can he do more and expand

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 2>that profile?

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, sure of course.

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.799
<v Speaker 2>But I think when he first gets here, I believe

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be his calling card off the top. So

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>that's the nose tackle debate, the defensive tackle debate. Let's

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and get to the rest of your questions here,

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>starting with this one from at Fanatico's Brazil first season

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.239
<v Speaker 2>with continude on either side of the ball, who's about

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to take the biggest leap on the team and have

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 2>a breakout season?

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>So I love this question. I'm gonna give you three

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>players here.

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I think Jalen Waddle will get back to the production

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.799
<v Speaker 2>we saw from him in twenty twenty two. I feel

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 2>like he's a sleeping giant who is about to go

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 2>scorch to Earth and for whatever reason, hasn't had the

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>production the last couple of years. You know, twenty three,

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 2>he missed some time here and there, and just seemed

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 2>like every time he got kind of hot in twenty three,

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 2>he would get nicked up and have to miss a game,

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 2>or you know, come out of a game or play

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 2>on a bumming, whatever it might be. And then last year,

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 2>I just think the entirety of last year, like so

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 2>much went wrong you can kind of just throw in

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 2>the trash. But I think that he's I still believe

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two is who Jayleen Waddle is as a

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 2>player in terms of production. And then I think the

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>obvious one is Jalen Right. I think he's gonna have

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>a great season. I don't think it's crazy to expect

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 2>that by the Buccaneers Patriots game down the stretch end

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 2>of the season that he might be like the running

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>back one. And that's not a slight to a Chan

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 2>by any stretch, because eight Chan is one of the

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 2>most electrifying eligibles in this league. But I think we've

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 2>been over this. I think that his role is better

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 2>served as being more of a jack of all trades,

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of a floating utility type more than

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>just to every down running back. I think Right can

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>be the every down running back. I think that he

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 2>could have a I think you could have a thousand

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>yard season if it gets enough touches give him two

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred Carrieres, I think he could do it. I think

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Kenneth Grant is my third pick, and I think because

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be good right away. I think he's

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>already going to be, like by the time we get

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.240
<v Speaker 2>to the Jets Monday night game, they're gonna be talking

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 2>about him as like an established starter in this league

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>three games into his career.

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's three sort of different answers.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Wattle re establishes his dominance, KG is good from the

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.239
<v Speaker 2>word go, and Jalen Wright is the true breakout player

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>on the roster. Dan Johnson at DJ twenty seventy five.

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 2>How hard can OTAs be run? I heard the Steelers

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 2>use them as a gauntlet style to establish culture and toughness.

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I also hear that we tend to not push the limits.

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Is there a real difference? Well, I yeah, OTAs, there's

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 2>parameters to all of this. So what one team might

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 2>be doing versus another team might be skirting the rules

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 2>because all I know is you can't do certain things,

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>like you get a certain amount of time on the grass,

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 2>you get a certain amount of time with coaches, with

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 2>the players. That's why I've been so pumped up about

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>what I've been seeing here this entire offseason because the

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 2>coaches only get a finite amount of time with the players,

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 2>but the players can go on the field themselves. And

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 2>that's why, Like when I watch Tyrel Dotson and Jordan

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Brooks get the entire defense and go through the entire

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.679
<v Speaker 2>list of calls and changes and shifts every single day

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>after practice to kind of, you know, rehearse what they

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.960
<v Speaker 2>just worked on. They al post practice walk through that

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.839
<v Speaker 2>really encourages me. And they can do that. So that's

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 2>all part of the CBA with what they can and

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 2>cannot do. So technically speaking, there shouldn't be a difference

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 2>across different camps. There's definitely no contact. They don't wear

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 2>shoulder pads, they don't wear pants. They're just wearing helmets

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 2>and shorts in these practices, shorts and shells. So I

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 2>don't know how you'd make it tougher without contact, right,

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 2>So this time of year, it's all about technique and

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 2>install So like they're making their proverbial swing changes right

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 2>now and they're trying to enact those and coaches love

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 2>this time of year because it's the only time where

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 2>you can just drill on your fundamentals.

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>It's going back to golf.

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>If you were in season and you know, eighteen weeks,

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>eighteen holes in the golf course. Like, if you're on

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 2>week eleven and you have a fundamental change you have

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 2>to make to your game, you can work on it,

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 2>but it's kind of like trying to make a swing

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>change on the tea box on the eleventh hole. They tell

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 2>you not to do that because you're not going to

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>work it out on the course. Can you can improve things,

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 2>but it's a big gamble to try to work on

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 2>things while you're playing the game, Whereas this time of year,

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you're on the driving range, you can go ahead and

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.079
<v Speaker 2>tinker and play around with things. So coaches love this

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 2>time of year to work on those fundamentals and techniques. Sean,

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>and there's there's no difference because you literally can't. It's

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>it's the same rules for everybody. Sean at pass and yell,

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I think I said that, right, Pa s C I

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 2>n E L past.

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know.

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I suck at pronouncing things. Travis, thank you for your

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>weekly grind for OTAs. What can you learn about the

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>rookies during this time that you might not see on

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.680
<v Speaker 2>film study. So I love the question because I fall

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 2>into this trap sometimes of maybe being too film oriented

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>and not thinking about other factors and that's kind of

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 2>a weak spot for me that I have to work on.

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 2>But the first thing for me is always how they move.

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 2>It's it's the number one criteria, and how they look

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 2>in terms of like their building size and stature compared

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.199
<v Speaker 2>to their contemporaries, and now that we get to see

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 2>them alongside those contemporaries, it's a great a great tool

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>for measurement. Like I remember when Channing Tyndall tracked down

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 2>this thirty yard seam shot that Tanner Connor I think

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 2>it was. I think it was it was training camp

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 2>because Kyle Krabs is out here and we were like,

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 2>WHOA Like Tanner Connor's like a twenty two mile per

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 2>hour top speed guy and that linebacker just ran with him.

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Now it didn't matter because here we are four years later.

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's obviously more than that. So I look

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.479
<v Speaker 2>for guys that can, you know, that can be engaged,

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.839
<v Speaker 2>and they're always tuned into what their coaches are saying.

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>They're asking coaches for extra you know, tutoring during the drills,

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 2>they're running between drills, they're getting back in line and

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 2>not deally dialing around like dance and have fun, but

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 2>like you know, that's when it's time to focus up

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and lock in.

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's lock in.

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 2>They get extra reps, you know, small things like that,

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 2>how they interact with their teammates. Things you can learn

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot. I think you can learn a lot by

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 2>observing guys at practice. And it's really hard to judge

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 2>these practices because again, you're just you're trying to enact

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 2>a swing change, whereas in season we're trying to focus

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>on results. That's a little bit different. So results are fun,

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that's what the fans come out here for a practice.

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>But take a look at evaluation, Like there's a reason

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.839
<v Speaker 2>why you are wrong, and I am wrong on roster

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 2>predictions because the coaches know what the players are trying

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 2>to do at practice. We don't. We don't have that,

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're not afforded that luxury. So that's why

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I like, you're like, wait, why did he make the roster?

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Probably because he was executing his assignments every single day

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and just because he didn't have a bunch of long touchdowns.

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Then you know it doesn't have to be the case,

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Like you can have an effective day at practice without

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>it looking like it to the fans at the Man

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 2>the myth forty five who faced more double teams in

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 2>college Kenny g or Mason Graham. I didn't have this

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>stat when I first wrote it down, but I went

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 2>back and found it for you, all right, So I

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 2>came back and found some metrics. I don't know how

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.079
<v Speaker 2>reliable these are, but I did see that Mason Graham

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 2>had significantly more double teams than Kenny Grant did than

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Kennethy Grant did at Michigan. It was sixty two to

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 2>like twenty nine, was the chart that I saw, But

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure how accurate that is. I can double

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 2>check that and come back and maybe maybe get you

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.719
<v Speaker 2>a better answer, but that's I think it was. I

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>think it was that there was that much disparity there.

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 2>But they both got double teamed a lot in the

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 2>running game, you know, on duo blocks, an inside zone,

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 2>and then in past wrestling situation they kind of shared

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 2>the bulk of it. But I think over the course

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 2>of the entire season, Mason Graham did about double up

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.559
<v Speaker 2>on Kenneth Grant there at Randy d easily. What are

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 2>the player's perspectives of their new teammates. I think it's

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe a little bit too early to answer that, because, well, one,

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.319
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been around the guys in that capacity in

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the same way. So maybe maybe doing media day, I'll

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 2>ask some of those questions and we can get some

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 2>some further answers on that and circle back.

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Sound good.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Next one here, Let's go ahead and take a break,

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll come back and do some more on

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 2>the other side of the Draft Time podcast brought to

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 2>you by AutoNation kind of like the vibe of this

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 2>mailbag only podcast. I feel like most times I do

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 2>this and this is like my production for every single

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 2>episode I do, I put like, what's I think is

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.439
<v Speaker 2>going to be thirty minutes worth of content in there,

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 2>and then it winds up being forty forty five. I

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 2>just I cannot help myself. It's been a problem since

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I was at Locked On and David Locke was always like, hey,

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty two minutes, dude, You're like, save it for another show.

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I just want to do more Dolphine football content.

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 2>So this mode because I always feel like I'm rushing

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 2>through the mailbags at the end of episodes. But now

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I can just get to all these and just kind

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 2>of hang out and crack a cold one with the boys.

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 2>That's what it feels like. Anyways, you guys watch the

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Outdoor Boys channel yet at all. I've been talking about

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 2>it all week. I feel like I saw one where

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 2>he punched a fish to death. He was like, Oh,

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 2>get me a rock to smash this fish's head, and

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 2>he's like, I got it, punch of the fish. I

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 2>was watching my wife and she's like, he's got to

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 2>be like an eagle scow or something because he's so dorky,

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 2>but so mainly it's just such an interesting combination. And

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 2>he's a great film editor too, Like guy takes like

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 2>fifteen thousand clips of every single video and then he

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 2>edits down to like two minute clips where he shows

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 2>you everything he's doing and it's just so good and

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>so arduous. Anyway, off the rails here, let's get back

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 2>into the mailbag pod here at Kevin Wagner PhD. Is

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 2>that Wagner or Wagner? I hope I'm saying that right.

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I know everything is a big names, but are you

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 2>interested in seeing what some of the young corners on

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 2>this team can do Johnson, Matree, Bonner, all very interesting prospects.

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 2>So first of all, I love this, And in my

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 2>freaking note right here, I wrote that I think Jason

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Matrie has the goods, the temperament, the suddenness, the competitiveness.

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Every time I've watched him as a Dolphin, I've been impressed.

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 2>And in a league where off the radar guys make

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 2>impacts every single year, like remember when the Chargers, you

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.600
<v Speaker 2>know they had tar Heeb still who I didn't know

0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>who that was last year when he got drafted, and

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 2>then he just starts making plays and gets like a

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 2>game win. He pick in the Atlanta game, a fifth

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>round pick, buried on the depth chart at started training camp,

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 2>and then he winds up being like a starter down

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the stretch. That would not have That wouldn't have shocked

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 2>me for Matre if he had jumped into the slot

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 2>cornerback role and Cater gets kicked outside. And that was

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>what I had planned out for you guys. And then

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 2>as I go to tape some of this on a

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday afternoon, I find out that Jason Matrie has been

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 2>placed on injury reserves.

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, dude, that part is a bummer.

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Otherwise, I think Isaiah Johnson fits what they want be

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 2>in terms of more man corner coverage and playing more

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 2>physical up in your face to go along with that

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 2>dominant front seven and all the rush games they can

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 2>get to. And then beyond that, I mean, I don't know.

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, I think Cam's struggles.

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, let's go.

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and put a pin in that because

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I have another question here about Cam Smith. But mature

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>was my pick Kevin, but he's now not gonna be

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 2>on the team this year because he's injured. Our Genis

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Herrera at a aar H underscore seven to one six.

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Love your work, Travis, which one of last year's draft picks?

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you expect to have a bigger impact in year

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 2>two with the Dolphins? And man, that's a good one.

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's four obvious ones, right like Patrick Paul

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be your left tackle, Jalen Wright is gonna

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:53.280
<v Speaker 2>be a serious factor in the running game, Chop is

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 2>obviously like already that dude, and then Malik Washington. Gosh,

0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 2>it's it's tough. I I I think Chop is going

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 2>to have a very productive year. I think the way

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 2>he works and the way he came on and that

0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.880
<v Speaker 2>first step quickness all coincides with what this defense does.

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 2>And while JP and Beachub are kind of getting in

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 2>the swing of things, I think he can kind of

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>carry the pass rush there.

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 1>So I'll go with Chop.

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I think Chop is going to and this comes from

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:18.360
<v Speaker 2>a guy that thinks that Right is going to see

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.439
<v Speaker 2>a two hundred carry workload, a guy that thinks that

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Malik is going to be a very good receiver three,

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.679
<v Speaker 2>A guy that thinks that Patrick Paul is going to

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 2>be like a guy that you don't even worry about

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.160
<v Speaker 2>at this time next year at left tackle. I think

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.719
<v Speaker 2>that Chop Robinson has like twelve sack potential. I think

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 2>he's that good and if he does that, then he

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 2>would be the guy here. So I'm gonna go with Chop,

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 2>your first round pick from last year. Just keeps on

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 2>getting better and we'll trust that trajectory. At Julian at

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Mack Arrow Draft era, what a great freaking name.

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>That is.

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.120
<v Speaker 2>My question, he says, is about the Jalen Ramsey deal.

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Considering there's talk of various teams being interested, what do

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 2>you think of a player for player swap, getting someone younger,

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 2>perhaps in the final year of a rookie deal, a

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 2>safety or corner. Maybe that can be a better value

0:17:58.200 --> 0:17:59.880
<v Speaker 2>than what we get for a draft pick. I do

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 2>agree that would be the ideal route, but at the

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 2>same time, like you probably want a corner in return

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 2>for him, maybe a safety, right And if that's what

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you get the team that's trading away that player, yeah,

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.399
<v Speaker 2>they could see as a one for one upgrade, but

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you want to add Ramsey to the

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:20.679
<v Speaker 2>mix and not, you know, not like just do a

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 2>slight upgrade on one position, if that makes sense. So

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at the Rams and the Commanders and

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys rosters and like there wasn't a lot in

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 2>those positions that interest me. Like for the Cowboys, it

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.439
<v Speaker 2>was like Savon Revel, but they just drafted him, So

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why they would do that, but I

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 2>would love to get that taken care of. Or like

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Malik Hooker, they're older but still very productive safety I

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 2>think from Washington, like tight end BENSONO was a guy

0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 2>that I was interested in, But otherwise there's not anybody

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.280
<v Speaker 2>in that defensive backfield. It's guys like that, you know,

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.640
<v Speaker 2>cheap players and rocket contracts I think can be productive

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.200
<v Speaker 2>across the rosters. So to your point, like, I love

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.320
<v Speaker 2>the idea because if you get a player, you're getting

0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.199
<v Speaker 2>impact in twenty twenty five, whereas the pick wouldn't an

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 2>impact until at least twenty six, and if it's a

0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 2>third or fourth round pick, most likely not till twenty seven.

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.200
<v Speaker 2>So I like where your head's at, and I think

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 2>that's part of the process in terms of trying to

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.679
<v Speaker 2>get a deal done there. And you know, Ramsey on

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday tweeted like just the number five and it's five

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:18.119
<v Speaker 2>days until June first, so like, you know, okay, yeah, okay,

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Jylan like yeah, Then at Canny Spartan, do you think

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 2>it's more likely Cam Smith finally breaks out or that

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Jason Marshall is a hit early. That's a tough one, man,

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 2>because again, the issues that have kept Cam off the field,

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the health is a big issue there, obviously, but also

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 2>just like the the natural feel I talk about for

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.879
<v Speaker 2>the game all the time hasn't been on there hasn't

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.280
<v Speaker 2>been on tape for me in two years, and typically

0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's tough to catch back up to.

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 1>So I am pretty wary of that.

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I think Jason Marshall has a long way to go

0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 2>until he's ready to play an NFL game.

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.760
<v Speaker 1>So can I pass and say neither? Like is that

0:19:58.200 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a fair answer?

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I don't want to, like just

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 2>disparage the two guys, but so far on tape, from

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 2>what I've seen, I wouldn't feel super confident just rolling

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.880
<v Speaker 2>out those guys as potential starters.

0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Right now this season. Now, Cam I think has a chance.

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>He's got very good skills.

0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>He's what he was at South Carolina was a confident, twitchy,

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, find the ball cornerback, and if he can

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 2>recapture that, that'd be fantastic.

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 1>We just haven't seen it in two years here.

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping that they can, you know, find rEFInd that

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 2>that action that drive in year three here. Aiden White

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 2>at AMW twenty twenty two, see do you think the

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins should look to add someone to the safety room.

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 2>My Lion's friends love Iffy, but he was never available

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 2>to be a full time starter, and the rest are

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:40.080
<v Speaker 2>unproven guys.

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:41.119
<v Speaker 1>That's that's how I feel.

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I think the Iffy is as a green player. We've

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.120
<v Speaker 2>done the color coordination right, blue chip, green and orange's

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.400
<v Speaker 2>where you want to be. I think he has potential

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 2>to be a like not probably not go to the

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Pro Bowl, but like be on the verge in that

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.639
<v Speaker 2>discussion among those guys because he's so physically gifted. I

0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.480
<v Speaker 2>think he's smart as hell. He can play all three

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.919
<v Speaker 2>levels of the defense and come down and hit in

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the running game. But to your point, he gets hurt often,

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and that was kind of the knock on DeShawn Elliott

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:08.160
<v Speaker 2>when he got here, and then now he's been healthy

0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:10.680
<v Speaker 2>ever since. So sometimes it works out for guys, other

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 2>times it does not. I don't think it's a soft

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>tissue thing for Iffy as much as it is like contact,

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 2>which was to Shawn Elliott's issue. It's not a Joey

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Bosa situation for the Bills, who, by the way, already

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 2>has a calf injury and it is supposed to miss

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.280
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of time. According to Sean McDermott. Like sometimes

0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:27.640
<v Speaker 2>guys just can't like Toronto Armstead, their body just won't

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 2>let them do it right. I don't think that's the

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>case for Iffy. So in terms of adding someone, there

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:35.440
<v Speaker 2>are names all over the free agent market right now.

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I continue to really like Julian Blackman, who's I don't

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.600
<v Speaker 2>know why he's not signed. We got Marcus May like

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks from now this time of year last year,

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:46.920
<v Speaker 2>So if you could make that happen, I'd be pretty

0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.680
<v Speaker 2>excited about that. You're gonna see Marcus Williams name probably

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 2>attached a lot, but watching his film last year was

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of rough. So even with the connection there to

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 2>coach Weave, I'm not sure that's something you want to explore,

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 2>but I think that you should look into it.

0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 1>I'd probably be.

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.400
<v Speaker 2>More inclined to possibly upgrade what I think Ashton Davis

0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:05.080
<v Speaker 2>is slotted in for right now in terms of being

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 2>that second safety in the post alongside Iffy, and I

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 2>think that their interchangeability in that way it makes some sense.

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 2>And I kind of view Patrick mc morris as more

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.159
<v Speaker 2>of like a big nickel. I could be wrong on that,

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 2>it could be something else, but I think that's how

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I would look at it, And if I can find

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 2>someone that I think can push Ashton for that spot,

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I would be inclined to explore that option. Nick at

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the real Lefty fifty three, there are a lot of

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.120
<v Speaker 2>players that will get starting opportunities this year. Paul Davis

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 2>or Morris rookie defensive tackles, Jonah, your in line tight end,

0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.480
<v Speaker 2>your outside corner. Who do you think is most likely

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 2>to shine from those guys? And who do you think

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins need most to shine? But I think, gosh,

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 2>you guys keep asking me to make Sophie's choice or

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 2>pick my favorite child because you listened his name. I

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 2>just told you Kenneth Grant was gonna be awesome on

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 2>it right away. I think both KG and Jonah are

0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be plus starters in year one, So I'm

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with those guys. And I think that would

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 2>be probably the answer to both questions, because, uh, I mean,

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 2>if if Jonah doesn't work out, then you're you're going

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 2>towards Liam or Larry Borum right in that direction, and

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I'd rather have Jonah in that position. If KG does

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 2>not work out, you're looking at another rookie somebody to Jones.

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:21.639
<v Speaker 2>I think you kind of need both those guys to

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 2>be what you expect them to be as first year players,

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 2>and for me, that's like, you know, green players. I

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:32.120
<v Speaker 2>think that Jonah, Jonah and James Daniels signify and ability

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 2>to be more adaptable, more amenable to winning games against

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 2>tougher teams and more and not not even just like

0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:40.919
<v Speaker 2>more physical teams, but better teams. The way you can

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:42.800
<v Speaker 2>line up and just go win a football game. I

0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:46.159
<v Speaker 2>think both Jonah and KG give the opportunity to do that,

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:48.679
<v Speaker 2>and Kg's ability to help you play lighter boxes and

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.920
<v Speaker 2>what he can do there and how he can it

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.520
<v Speaker 2>really expand the pass rush of Zach Sealer and the

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:55.360
<v Speaker 2>rest of the guys up front because of what he does.

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:57.879
<v Speaker 2>I think that the ripple effect of him there and

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the ripple effect of what Jonah means for the offense

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 2>in terms of how they can be left handed if

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.120
<v Speaker 2>they have to be. I think both those guys are

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the answers to your question. The cornerback spot, though, I

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 2>would say, like that's probably the one that you need

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:12.200
<v Speaker 2>to shine, but I don't have a good answer for

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 2>who that could be right now. I don't think that

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you can just skate by on like, oh, the pass

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:17.920
<v Speaker 2>which is very good, so we can throw some rookies

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:19.199
<v Speaker 2>out there, like, I don't think you're I think you're

0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 2>playing with fire if you do that. So it's the

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:24.760
<v Speaker 2>spot right now that like everybody else, I'm most the

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:27.160
<v Speaker 2>most questions about. Let's take our last break, right there,

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.160
<v Speaker 2>come back on the other side and finish up your

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:31.639
<v Speaker 2>mail bag questions on the Draft Time podcast brought to

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:38.080
<v Speaker 2>you by Autoation. Right we're back, Let's go ahead and

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.640
<v Speaker 2>jump into a few more of your male bag questions

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:42.919
<v Speaker 2>and then get the hell out of here and enjoy

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 2>a weekend that will take us into June and possibly

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 2>a resolution on the Jalen Ramsey saga.

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And I man, I want.

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I would love to get some new players and get

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 2>some some film cranked out, because right now I've got

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.120
<v Speaker 2>we had yesterday's practice, will have one next week. We'll

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:02.200
<v Speaker 2>have three practices or at least two three schedule. Sometimes

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 2>it's only two because sometimes they cancel the last OTA practice.

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 2>But I've got like two three more podcasts I need

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:09.920
<v Speaker 2>to do in that time. And I would love to

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 2>have some players to break down for you all before

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I go on break, because once I go on break,

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm not actually, yeah, I am, I'm not gonna. I'm

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:17.879
<v Speaker 2>not gonna sit there and not do content. I'm like,

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:21.080
<v Speaker 2>who am I kidding? You're not supposed to win your oppternity,

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 2>but I always do he's a psycho. He needs the

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 2>football in his life, so hopefully we get some new

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 2>players or something to talk about in that time.

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:33.439
<v Speaker 1>For the podcast sake, Let's do.

0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:35.760
<v Speaker 2>A few more questions here, This one from Rick FB

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 2>at Rick FB fifty four. I'm guessing that means Zach Thomas,

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:42.480
<v Speaker 2>can Mike McDaniel and company bring back the consistent chunk

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 2>gains over the middle much less outside to the passing

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>offense and what's the most important factors for that? So

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I did write these mail bag questions into my copy

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:58.439
<v Speaker 2>with the Tuesday episode. So if you didn't hear Tuesday's episode,

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:00.320
<v Speaker 2>which if you're writing into the podcast, I am imagine

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 2>you're in every episode listener, so that wouldn't make much sense.

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:04.199
<v Speaker 2>But if you didn't check it out, go back and

0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 2>look at that. I talked about the influence of the

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:09.600
<v Speaker 2>running game and staying out of negative runs and staying

0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 2>in proper down in distance and the threat of that

0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 2>to influence the middle of the football field. And I

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you guys follow Wattleville. I'm not sure

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 2>his entire name, but he keeps on posting these clips

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 2>of really good two of throws and I'm really enjoying

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:27.000
<v Speaker 2>the discourse in the in the comments section because football's

0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:31.120
<v Speaker 2>in esoteric sport. Esoteric means difficult to you know, understand

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:35.120
<v Speaker 2>in parts, right, And I love that people are interested

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 2>by it, but not everyone knows what the hell is

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 2>going on, because I'm seeing comments like he clearly made

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 2>that predetermination on the throw before he took the snap, Like, dude,

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a clip with a throw to Malik on

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.640
<v Speaker 2>an mbreaker where he puts the ball on the leak

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 2>right out of the break and it's it's such a

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:53.920
<v Speaker 2>good window fit and you see both the middle of

0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 2>the field safety and the mic linebacker kind of influence

0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:57.160
<v Speaker 2>off to the right.

0:26:57.200 --> 0:26:58.879
<v Speaker 1>That's because to a move those guys.

0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:01.360
<v Speaker 2>So I just I really get tired by those comments

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:04.120
<v Speaker 2>and now I more so laugh at them. So Two,

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 2>his ability to be on the field is a big

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 2>part of that. Two, his ability to stay hot and

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 2>within rhythm and to get to his checklist. I think

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:11.919
<v Speaker 2>the biggest thing you can do for this rick is

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>to kind of reduce his pre snap checklist and get

0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 2>him to the line of scrimmage with more time on

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:23.639
<v Speaker 2>the clock. Because sorry, my wife just texted me, because

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 2>when he can do that, and he can be sharper

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:28.520
<v Speaker 2>pre snap and have a little bit more of a

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:31.040
<v Speaker 2>relaxed approach pre snap. I think that makes him the

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 2>most deadly version of himself post snap, where he knows

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:35.399
<v Speaker 2>if I can get my footwork to this spot and

0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 2>drive to this direction, I can move that defender and

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 2>that will clear this land. I have this leverage of

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 2>this defender, my trust Malik to win the inside leverage there.

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Like that's how two was. Brain works in processes and

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 2>stuff real time. So the easier you can make the

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 2>pre snap process, the better I think his post snap

0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 2>can be. And I really, really really think that we

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 2>will get back to that with the improved running game

0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 2>and with receivers that are on their p's and q's.

0:27:57.800 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, Tyreek, if you want to take us word

0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:01.880
<v Speaker 2>for the fact he's working harder this year, he says

0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.199
<v Speaker 2>it every year, so I don't know. But if you

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:06.359
<v Speaker 2>do get a refocused Tyreek, I think that will be

0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 2>a big part of it. I think we're deeper in

0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 2>all the eligible rooms at running back, at receiver, at

0:28:11.480 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 2>tight end with Pharaoh Brown, with Nick Westbrook a k

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:17.720
<v Speaker 2>A with in my assumption, a jump and workload from

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Right, So I think that just better overall surrounding

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 2>cast a better offensive line that will create more of

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:24.120
<v Speaker 2>a running game.

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 1>And I saw this great quote a while back.

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 2>I forget who set up, but it was like, you know,

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 2>we talk about running game and passing game and the

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 2>numbers of all that stuff. The real effect of the

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.199
<v Speaker 2>running game is that guys are aware of it and

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 2>afraid of it. Because if you are worried about getting

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 2>pushed off the ball, it changes the way you fire

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 2>out of your stance and the way you initiate contact

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:47.600
<v Speaker 2>in the trenches and you're not on a pass rush plan.

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of two different skills and arts. So the

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 2>more you can make the defense think about the running

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 2>game and stay out of those negative plays, it obviously

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 2>creates more advantageous situations. So throw the football, but it

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 2>also sticks in the back of that defense's mind. I

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 2>have to be ready for Patrick Paul trying to steamroll me,

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 2>and I can't just throw my pass rushbo out there

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 2>because he's gonna knock me on my butt. So there's

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things to go into it. The Tuesday

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 2>episode is a great starting point, and then I think

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 2>what I just said there kind of covers it all.

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian at Finns Fan forty seven. My daughter has a

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian in her class and it's all Spanish speaking except

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:23.960
<v Speaker 2>for my daughter, and she comes home and she speaks

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:25.840
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of Spanish and she'll say, it's Sebastian

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 2>and it's the cutest freaking thing in the entire world.

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.640
<v Speaker 2>So when I see that name, I think about Sebastian,

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 2>who leads the team in sex. He's going with Chop.

0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian is yeah, I mean Zach has Yeah. I'm gonna

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 2>go with Chop two. Either Chop or Jalen Phillips. That's

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 2>my two picks. I think JP's a fifteen sat guy

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 2>waiting to happen. It's just been on a hole for

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 2>a few years and it's kind of maybe a little

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 2>bit presumptuous to jump to that mark right away, but

0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I do think JP can get back there.

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say I'll go with this.

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll say JP and Chop are McGuire and Sosa in

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight Chasing the Records There Emigo with Zach Sealer

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:07.920
<v Speaker 2>as Kingerfred Junior, the old reliable Well yeah, Zaq sealer

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 2>so consistent and he's gonna be griffy in this race.

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I'm going with. But I think we

0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:15.160
<v Speaker 2>have three guys that could push for ten sacks there.

0:30:15.760 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Michael Lee at slow Poke eight twenty four, what kind

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 2>of tweaks or changes do you think is being drawn

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 2>up with some of the new guys like Akenne and

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Brown and Right and Washington in their second year. I

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 2>think they have to find a way to get away

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 2>from the leaning on the screen game because last year

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the screen game effectively replaced what was a running game

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 2>that just didn't exist after that Buffalo game, right Like

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:39.320
<v Speaker 2>it was tough sledding for most of the year after

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 2>that contest. So I think that your ability to get

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 2>the running game going with those guys off the edge

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:46.400
<v Speaker 2>and how they can impact. All those guys you mentioned

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 2>are good blockers besides Right. Obviously it's not a blocker,

0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 2>but all those guys can help your running game and

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you can reduce the number of reps you have in

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the screen game. But also I think a Kyne's ability

0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 2>to block off the edge and insert into the runfit

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 2>or into the run blocking ski kind of allows you

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 2>to be very versatile with your personnel like you can

0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 2>have You could have John Whu and Akeene and you

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 2>can consider an eleven personnel where you think John who's

0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the tight end and Akeeni is the receiver. But you

0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>can swap those guys or can serve as a two

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 2>tight end personnel package because Akeene can do that stuff.

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 2>So I'm very excited about what he can do. I

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 2>think Parroh Brown gives you similar, like better blocking than

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 2>what Julian Hill was last year, even though I think

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Julian can take a big step this year. And he

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:30.479
<v Speaker 2>gives you more downfield threat as a pass catcher too,

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:32.480
<v Speaker 2>So there's all kinds of stuff. I think it really

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:34.719
<v Speaker 2>helps the short intermediate game. That's kind of where they

0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 2>can focus on and just continue to get Reacan waddle

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:39.320
<v Speaker 2>back to the intermediate and deep game. Ken Dasher at

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 2>k DASH sixty five, Travis, love your work, Appreciate your positivity.

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. It's how I always want to cover this team.

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm of the opinion that Ali Gordon would easily beat

0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 2>out Madison for the power back role this year.

0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>What are your thoughts.

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I just spoke to Eric Smith, who gets a second

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 2>shout out on the show of the week, and he

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 2>says that he thinks that Allie might push for running

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 2>back too. He's that big of a believer if you

0:31:57.120 --> 0:31:58.720
<v Speaker 2>go back to the Doak Walker year, like, Yeah, he

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:02.360
<v Speaker 2>was phenomenal that year. I do share that thought, Ken,

0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that Allie could be the third running back

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:06.120
<v Speaker 2>on this team. I think that's kind of the idea

0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 2>with him and Madison, and hopefully Allie has you know, longer,

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 2>long term upside as well. But either way, I just

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 2>love the attitude change that comes with those two guys

0:32:13.680 --> 0:32:16.680
<v Speaker 2>because they are both mean, physical, drop their shoulder pads

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and pick up an extra yard through contact type of runners.

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:23.000
<v Speaker 2>They're they're both really good locker room teammates type of guys.

0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:25.800
<v Speaker 2>So I do think I'll stack Gordon as running back

0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 2>three going into camp in terms of my expectations for

0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 2>how it will play out. And we'll see, but I

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 2>really want to see a chans roll, you know, sparse

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:35.200
<v Speaker 2>more out and I want to see so much more

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:36.880
<v Speaker 2>of you Lan, right, and then if we get to

0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 2>those guys, and that's a good problem to have, it's

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 2>a good problem to have two more here live fighter

0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 2>at brand Branderson seven four seven four oh Man what's

0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:49.760
<v Speaker 2>your thought on these Finns podcast de measuring contests. I

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 2>will say this, back when I was trying to make

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:54.880
<v Speaker 2>a name for myself and I when I got into this,

0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 2>my goal was always to get to this position and

0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 2>beyond hopefully, and so I I took it as a

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:03.239
<v Speaker 2>slight if you didn't find my content as good as

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:05.280
<v Speaker 2>somebody else's, because I felt mine was the best out there,

0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 2>and I probably felt a little bit of a need

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:10.959
<v Speaker 2>to kind of denigrate other posters to show you how

0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 2>much better my content was than theirs, which was always

0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 2>the wrong approach. And that's how I feel about it now,

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:18.959
<v Speaker 2>Like in hindsight, I could have been better about it

0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 2>back then, but now looking at it from this perspective,

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>do good content and nothing else will matter. If you're

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.760
<v Speaker 2>posting about other people, that's time you're taking away from

0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:30.120
<v Speaker 2>yourself to create good content.

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>So do the good stuff and it'll stand out.

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 2>If you don't do good stuff and you think you

0:33:34.400 --> 0:33:36.640
<v Speaker 2>do and you're not understanding why it's not getting picked

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:38.760
<v Speaker 2>up by bigger publications or whatever, it's because it's not

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 2>good enough. Be better and people will find you. That's

0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 2>all it comes down to. As far as getting into fights.

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I just don't give a damn because why who cares?

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I have a great job, I have a family I

0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:51.680
<v Speaker 2>go to home to every night that loves me, and

0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 2>why would I care about what people on Twitter? I

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:56.760
<v Speaker 2>think that's that's my new old man perspective. Last one

0:33:56.800 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 2>here from at Jason Sarney. Jason, what's up man? Hope

0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 2>you're doing. Oh, I'm sure I'll see you down here

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 2>for camp sometime this summer. Who is going to be

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a Day three steal of the twenty twenty five draft

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:08.200
<v Speaker 2>picks for the Dolphins? And why is it? Dante Trader Junior.

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I love when Jason gets on a kick about a player.

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:12.799
<v Speaker 2>He is very convicted in his beliefs. I love your

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 2>belief in him. I haven't really seen him play yet,

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 2>but he's been so impressive as a person that that

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 2>has me excited.

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:19.800
<v Speaker 1>But for me, it's Jordan Phillips.

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:22.360
<v Speaker 2>He was a top seventy player on my board for me,

0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 2>and I just think he's going to be excellent, So

0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:26.759
<v Speaker 2>there's no other possible answer for me. Jordan Phillips is

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 2>my pick for that. But I'm excited to hear what

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:30.759
<v Speaker 2>you come way with from watching Trader when you get

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 2>down here for camp, Jason, all right, let's go ahead

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:33.560
<v Speaker 2>and get out here longer than I thought.

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:34.279
