0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a half. Three days on one day off, and then

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 2>we get to the games and the schedule changes around

<v Speaker 2>those as well. But you guys have seen the training

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>camp schedule. It all kicks off on Wednesday with the

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>closed practice that I will provide updates on Twitter after

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 2>practice concludes.

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the rules, and.

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Then we'll have the podcast and written notebook for you

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>guys on those days as well. Let's go ahead though,

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 2>before that and preview the other side of the football

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>after I got all jacked up on Mountain do Baby

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>on the offense talking about all the electricity and doing

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>the do basically at receiver, running back, and tight end,

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 2>and how I think this offense can go to yet

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>another level in twenty twenty four. Can the defense sustain

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>last year's production? Do they want to? Was it good

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 2>enough last year? I think there's some misconceptions about how

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>good the defense was and statistically it was pretty good,

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.679
<v Speaker 2>especially when you consider the points allowed that were kind

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 2>of bloated by some offensive giveaways. I mean we had

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 2>pick sixes last year too, had one in the Jets game.

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Mike White had one in the Panthers game. We had

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 2>a punt return against the Buffalo Bills.

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>What else do we have?

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>There was a.

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't there another?

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, a fumble six against the Chiefs. I know there

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>was a few pick six against the Giants as well.

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>There was a few because Vic Fangio was quick to

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>tell you in his press conferences about the offense to

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>allowing points, and so that number was good. Some of

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 2>the efforts down the stretch, I think keeping Mahomes and

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs offense out of the end zone was a

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit bloviated by the fact that they just made mistakes.

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Travis Kelcey had a massive third down drop

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>in the red zone that basically cost them four points.

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 2>The Bills had the play at the end of the

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>half I couldn't get in the end zone. A great

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>play by Jerome Baker to make that happen, But Josh

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Allen has a propensity to do that. In fact, there

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 2>was a play at the end of the half in

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the game at Buffalo in twenty twenty two where Allen

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 2>ran around and expanded the entire clock, expired the entire clock,

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>and then threw a touchdown like a miraculous touchdown. So

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>he does that and you can get him out of

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 2>any point possibilities, and that happened. It seemed like all

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 2>game long. A couple of picks in the end zone

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 2>for the Bills in that game too, So I think

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 2>that their efforts were valiant. I think it was a

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 2>good defense. But I think that the last couple of

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>games and how they performed in that Chiefs and Bills

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 2>game kind of gave a different.

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Reality to what actually occurred.

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Because I go back to a Baltimore game where the

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>offense went right down the field and scored a touchdown,

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 2>should have scored a second touchdown by how to drop

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>pass in the end zone, and then was driving again

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>a third time and converted a big fourth down in

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>that game, but the defense went touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>and that is tough to overcome. Or the Week four

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 2>game against Buffalo where the offense went touchdown, touchdown, but

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>the defense went touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, Like, you can't

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 2>allow twenty eight consecutive points to begin a game and

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 2>expect to be in the game and expect your offense

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>to match that on any given week. You don't care

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 2>how good your offense is, scoring touchdowns on four consecutive

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 2>possessions just does not happen in this league. So and

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 2>then the Eagles game more the same. They played really

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>well against the Chiefs offense that kind of spluted out

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 2>all year long. They held the Cowboys and Check at home,

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>But most big games we saw are against big time quarterbacks,

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, playing passively against Justin Herbert and that Chargers

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>offense in the opener to get ran all over for

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 2>thirty four points like that was a common theme last year.

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 2>So I hope the plan is to stop that and

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>to perform better in terms of getting quicker stops, getting

0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 2>the ball back to the offense, and not just trying

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 2>to event seven points all the time, because even as

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.919
<v Speaker 2>you do that, you limit your offensive opportunities, you expend

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>your defense's energy, and by the end of the game,

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe they have nothing left in the tank. So that's

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of my my five minute spiel on why last

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>year's defense wasn't as good as a numbers suggested. Can

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 2>this year's defense be better than that? That's the hope.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>If they can. I have very very very very very

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 2>very very high expectations for this team and where they

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>can go. We start on the line up front, and

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.279
<v Speaker 2>we'll go ahead and kick it off with kind of

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the depth chart that I anticipate heading into camp, and

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 2>it all circulates around Zach Sealer. He is the straw

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.799
<v Speaker 2>that stirs the drink. He has been in my opinion,

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 2>the nfls if you go on the last five years

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:49.039
<v Speaker 2>balance of just football coverage and production, and he gets

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 2>his name in there more now than he did in

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 2>the past. But with a double digit sack season, I

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 2>think that Zach Sealer is the most underrated player in

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the entire National Football Lead. And the production was there,

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe there's not the insane sizzle as a pass rusher

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 2>in terms of like quick wins or embarrassing reps where

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 2>he like crosses over a guy and puts him on

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>his butt. But he will play through you, and he'll

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.919
<v Speaker 2>get fourth down stops, and he'll stay in his gap

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>and hold up against double teams, and he'll play eighty

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 2>percent of your snaps and do it in a way

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>that he just is so durable and reliable and tough

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 2>and accountable and gives you the maximum effort every single snap.

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 2>That's the guy you build a team around, and build

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 2>a defensive front around. And I think it sucks that Pepper,

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 2>as it were, is no longer here. His best buddy

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 2>and they made magic together. But I look at Kalaias

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Campbell's tape last year and it was as good, Okay,

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>it was eighty five percent as good as Christian wilkins

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.479
<v Speaker 2>tape was last year. And he is probably just as flexible,

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe a little bit reduction in snap counts, although he's

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 2>played like sixteen thousand snaps in his career, which is

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 2>outrageous averages like seven hundred and sixty snaps a year

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>over how many years has he been in the league fifteen.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know what it is we just covered

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 2>when we talked to him in the podcast. But I digress.

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 2>So those are the top two guys, like by far

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 2>to me, that should play the most reps. And they

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>can play you know, one shade, they can play three technique,

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>they can play five like, they can do whatever you

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>want across the defensive line and line up in any

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>gap and play with positive leverage and power and keep

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 2>their gap integrity that way. Beyond that, I think next

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>for me would be tier Tart. I think his explosiveness

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and quickness is much more replicatable of what Christian Wilkins's

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>game was, and I think that that can really have

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 2>a major impact when you factor in how much Campbell

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 2>and Sealer combined can kind of eat up space and

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>eat up blockers and create lanes to run through, which

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 2>applies to the linebackers for sure, But let's say you're

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 2>giving Seiler or Campbell a spell. I think you can

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 2>run some games and some picks where Tart is the

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 2>looper and Campbell or Stealer is the pick man and

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 2>get production that way. Next, I would go to Sean Hand,

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 2>who I think quietly had a nice year in sort

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>of a reserve role. I think a second year here

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 2>with Austin Clark can help him better understand, you know,

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of how to play the style of defense that

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 2>he wants. And of course, Anthony Weaver comes from the

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>defensive line background, and Weaver and Clark have been just

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>two pis in the pods so far. Getting along in

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 2>terms of how they want to coach this thing. I

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>think Deshaun han could be one of the biggest beneficiaries

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>of that. To me, that's the top four, and then

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a little bit of a drop off.

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I probably say Benito Jones would be next in terms

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>of significant snaps in the role, just because I think

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 2>he does something that nobody else really on this team

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>does in terms of being a three hundred and thirty

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>five pounds space eater over the nose tackle position to

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 2>just basically be a tree stump to allow all that

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>activity and all that speed and athletic ability you have,

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 2>whether it's Chubb and Phillips off the edge, or Shaq

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Barrett and Chop Robinson to come down and play a

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 2>nosebacker position to rush off of him, or it's Jordan

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.199
<v Speaker 2>Brooks and David Long in the second level firing downhill

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 2>and doing all they can do to deconstruct walks and

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>make free runs on running backs. And the quarterback has

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 2>blitzers as well, so I think that his role factors

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>into that position. I do like the games of Neville

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Galimore and Jonathan Harris, who I think kind of check

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>in that next category as guys that can be like

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 2>three hundred, four hundred snap takers, can maybe have a

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 2>spot start here and there and just give you quality play.

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that Harris really kind of found a niche

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>role as a five technique in some positions or situations

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>last year some four to four I kind of from

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 2>that five position outside the tackles shoulder to kind of

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 2>condensing inside to you know, more over the guard type

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>of positions. Whereas I think Gallimore is a three technique.

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>I think that he played zero and one in Dallas

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 2>at an undersized weight. I think that was a mistake

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:40.679
<v Speaker 2>to play him at the three technique and what maybe

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 2>some more five as well where he played at Oklahoma

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 2>would be a better use of his skill set. And

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 2>then from there, I kind of like Leonard Paine, the

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 2>undrafted rookie out of Colorado who has a lot of

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>explosiveness and can get a first some first step quickness,

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>which this entire group seems to really excel with. If

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 2>you go and look at the athletic profile of not

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 2>just the team or the defense, with the team in general,

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.719
<v Speaker 2>they just got so much more athletic this year. And

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Leonard pain is one of those guys that kind of

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 2>exemplifies that and how he flies around and puts pressure

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 2>on offensive lines and makes early commitments to your pass

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>protection slides and schemes that you have to kind of

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 2>open up the gate on some of the other stuff

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 2>because you have to deal with that first step quickness

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>of a guy like Leonard Paine or tier Tart in

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 2>that regard. After that, you know, added Isaiah Mack early.

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>In the offseason.

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Mario Kendricks, Brandon Peelee are all guys that are kind

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 2>of trying to find their way maybe into the practice squad,

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 2>but that's kind of how you run out the group there.

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Austin Clark is the coach of this group and Kenji

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Cotton is the assistant coach in the defensive line room.

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Very different group from last year, much deeper. I mean

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 2>we had basically with if it wasn't Zach and Christian,

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>there was a significant drop off to the depth that

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Sean Han was kind of that next guy, but beyond

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 2>that they really didn't have much. So you were thankful

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 2>that neither of those guys missed games. And this year,

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 2>if you can do the same, you'll just have a

0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 2>deeper rotation. We go to the linebacker position. Let's go, oh,

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 2>off ball first. I usually go edge first. We'll go

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 2>We'll go ahead and start off ball here. To make

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 2>it a more no you know what, we are going

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 2>to go edge because there is more edge guys check

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that going to the edge position group here. We'll start

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 2>with the top and this one is a little bit

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:17.720
<v Speaker 2>convoluted because of injuries. Heading into the new campaign, I

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 2>anticipate Jalen Phillips will be an opening day starter. I

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 2>don't think that they'll be the same case for Bradley Chubb.

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 2>We'll find out, but I think the Chill will be

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 2>back a little bit later, kind of more in line

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 2>with his injury occurring on New Year's Eve opposed to

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Phillips's on was it Black Friday?

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>So I think that you probably see.

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Phillips opening day, maybe Chubb sometime in October. Is my

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>expectation or prediction for that, Although I don't actually know,

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of what I expect to happen. So with

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 2>those two guys, I mean, I talked about it all

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 2>camp long about how good they were at defending the

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 2>edge running game against the team. The team, let's say,

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the Niners that threatens the edge and

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the running game better than anybody else in the entire

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 2>National Football League. And they do it because they are massive,

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 2>they're strong, they're long armed, and their mindset is, we

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>can play the edge, working outside to m to help

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>prevent these wide runs and also get back over the

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 2>top of the block to hit b gaps. And whether

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 2>it's a windbacker or a back that decides to bang

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.439
<v Speaker 2>a post to bounce it outside, and all of that

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of fall secondary to elite past rush ability that

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 2>can win from a variety of positions in that regard too.

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 2>They can go hand in the dirt, they can go

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 2>stand up linebacker, they can drop into coverage. They can

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 2>also condense down into three techniques and rush the guard

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and put those guys on their butts and create chances

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 2>that way. I think about how this group might look

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 2>in terms of, Hey, it's third and twelve, why don't

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 2>we put Bradley and JP head up over the three

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 2>techniques and have them bowl rush the guards inside and

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 2>then roll out the variety of potential edgebrushers you have

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 2>beyond that off the outside. And if you can tell

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 2>by the difference in the tone or the microphone here

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 2>had to jump on for a quick edit because, as

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 2>you guys all know by now, over the weekend, news

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 2>came down that Chack Garret was going to go ahead

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and call it a career And look, let's go ahead

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.840
<v Speaker 2>and first start with this best of luck to Shack

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 2>and retirement. As I'm sure most of you know, tragedy

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>struck in his household a couple of years ago and

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 2>he lost his young daughter. He signed with Dolphins back

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 2>in free agency and before the new league year or

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 2>before the new season began, said you know what, my

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 2>heart's not in this.

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I might spend more time with my family.

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and do that, not put you guys

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.199
<v Speaker 2>out at this stage or further down the road, i

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 2>should say, in the training camp, which could have then

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 2>slidified a guaranteed salary and triggered more money off the

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 2>books for Miami. But Shaq Barrett calls it a career

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>rate there, and let's just go ahead and get through

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 2>that bit of news here real quick. So first off,

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>from the great Kyle Krabs talking about the contract impact

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 2>of this decision of the retirement, that there will be

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.439
<v Speaker 2>a savings of four point five million dollars in void

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 2>cap in twenty twenty five this part of this contract,

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 2>but'll also recover two and a half million dollars this year.

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 1>But a new player who.

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Jumps into the top fifty one roster spots in terms

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 2>of salary commitment to that player will meaning will mean

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 2>one million dollars one and a half million dollars savings

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 2>this year because that player bumps up into your top

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 2>fifty one which of the players that count against the

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 2>salary cap.

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>So I guess the good thing is there.

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 2>He did it before training camp began and gave the

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins a chance to go out and search for the

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 2>replacement for Shaq Barrett and Cam Wolf is alreadyported that

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Emmanuel Ogba has been hosted back by your Miami Dolphins

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 2>for a visit to maybe come back and do this

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 2>thing again for a twenty twenty one, two three four

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 2>for a fifth season with the Miami Dolphins. So we'll

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 2>see the next domino to fall in this. I doubt

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you won't see one, because I think this opens up

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>a spot at this position. But I just want to

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 2>touch on this. It is not a nothing loss. It

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 2>is not the biggest loss. This is not Jalen Ramsey

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 2>going down for eight weeks of the season on day

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 2>two of training camp. This is not one of your

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 2>high powered offensive stars going down. This is a guy

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>that was going to start early probably most likely. I mentioned,

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that JP's on good track to get some

0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 2>rep before this season begins, and we'll see if he

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 2>starts opening day, but I think there's a really good

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:07.920
<v Speaker 2>chance for that to be a possibility.

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>And then we'll see.

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 2>On Bradley Chubb, I really don't know on his timeline,

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 2>but I would assume. I would assume there's some time

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 2>down for him, and Shaq would have been a great

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>person to fulfill that role, right. He was good against

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 2>the run, gave you occasional pass rush, could have slotted

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>into a third or fourth pass rusher role beyond Chop

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Robinson down the stretch as guys were getting healthier and

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 2>he was coming along on the defense. So I understand

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 2>that that is a loss for sure, no doubting that.

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 2>But it's not the end of the world. I mean,

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 2>it's just not like I saw. I was on the

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 2>golf course when I saw this news break and I

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 2>saw that there was some reactions on Twitter and whatnot.

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I guess that's how it's going to

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 2>be every time some news or a player loss or

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 2>an injury, like that's that's how it goes. I get it,

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 2>but it's a loss. It's not a huge loss. Wish

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the best for Shack and retirement him. On the podcast

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 2>a while back was was so good.

0:15:58.520 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>He was one of my favorite guys interview.

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I will say it does kind of stink because I

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 2>believe Shaq was kind of viewed as an upgrade to

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Van Ginkle off the edge in terms of ability.

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought the tape was better and he was cheaper,

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 2>so I thought that was a bit of a.

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Cooper for the Dolphins there.

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 2>But it winds up being kind of a lost loss

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 2>because you don't give Van Ginkle back and you don't

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 2>get Shaq Barrett because he is now retired.

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>So not great. I'm gonna go through the rest of

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>this podcast.

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 2>If I miss any cuts of Shaq Barrett's name and

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 2>taking things out, I apologize. This was a twenty fifth

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 2>hour addition to the podcast here. I'm stech technically still

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 2>on vacation, but want to go ahead and add that

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 2>nugget and give you guys thoughts on Shaq Barrett's retirement

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 2>in this Monday podcast. So, like I said, I think

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 2>there's an opportunity for a veteran to be added here,

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 2>But I also believe this is an opportunity for a

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 2>guy like Mohammed Kamara or Grayson Murphy. I lean towards

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Mohammed Kamara. You talk about first up explosiveness. I could

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 2>see him being part of that like NASCAR package where

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 2>it's like, hey, Mo, go give us eight snaps a

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 2>game where you just light your freaking hair on fire

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 2>and you guys heard him the podcast. The guy is

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 2>an absolute maniac in his personal and how he played.

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I love, love, love love a person nowady like Muhammad Kamara.

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey go light your hair on fire and chase quarterbacks

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 2>for eight snaps a game. Hey go get Josh Allen

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.360
<v Speaker 2>and just run him down, Like what if Mo Kamara

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 2>is the spy or Chop Robinson. Again, that increased athletic

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.160
<v Speaker 2>ability of those of these rooms, I think better suits

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 2>us to defend quarterbacks like that that have given us

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 2>so much issues in the past, whether it's Josh Allen,

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>whether it's Lamar Jackson, whether it's Jalen hurts On the

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 2>schedule last year, so that's I think a big benefit

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.440
<v Speaker 2>for this group. I'll go with Kamara five. I think

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Cam Good would be next for me if he were healthy,

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 2>but we'll see how quickly he can get back. He

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 2>had a pretty devastating injury in the Buffalo game, so

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 2>we'll see how he looks coming back off the injury.

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 2>The one to not sleep on here, and in fact,

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I probably bump him up to the four to five

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 2>range more than the six range. I have men right

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 2>here is Cam Brown because he had a really good

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 2>ota where he just looked good on the individual drills

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 2>against the bags, holding the edge in the running game

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 2>in these non padded practices, which is kind of tough,

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.119
<v Speaker 2>but you can see technique that these guys play with.

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're gonna get told throughout camp, oh there's

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 2>no pad. You can't learn from that. Yes, you can

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.120
<v Speaker 2>just watch football and understand football and ask a coach

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 2>what they learn like they if you couldn't take anything

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.640
<v Speaker 2>away from it, they wouldn't have those practices. But Cam

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Brown's ability to like long arm and keep the outside

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 2>arm open to you know, to get off those blocks

0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:17.399
<v Speaker 2>and make plays off the edge. It's the same thing

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>as Chubb and Phillips I talked about he is so

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>good set in the edge, and then go watch his

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:22.679
<v Speaker 2>special teams tape. He is going to have a role

0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.360
<v Speaker 2>on this football team, and he right now going into

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 2>camp is kind of one of the guys I have

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 2>circled as a player that you don't know about or

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 2>haven't heard about, or never hear talked about that will

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 2>surprise and will make plays in preseason and will make

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:35.920
<v Speaker 2>plays in training camp, and all of a sudden, come

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 2>opening Day, it's like, oh yeah, Cam Brown's a big

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.159
<v Speaker 2>part of this football team. After that, I think Grayson

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 2>Murphy can play like this whole room. I think Grayson

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Murphy has a future in this league, whether it's here

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.679
<v Speaker 2>or somewhere else because of how deep this group is.

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 2>He just has a really good arsenal of pass rush moves.

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 2>He's got a great head in his shoulders. You heard

0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 2>him back on draft time a few weeks ago, where

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.199
<v Speaker 2>he was just really sharp and a fun conversation. And

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.480
<v Speaker 2>then Quentin Bell top to Botim, I love this room

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>because Quentin Bell was a guy that was earning like

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 2>practice squad player of the Week frequently last year. He

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 2>did have a freak injury in the indoor facility in

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 2>one practice that just like robbed him of the rest

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 2>of the season where I think he was getting close

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to some elevations with how limited that group was. Keep

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 2>an eye on Quinton Bell as well. Every guy in

0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 2>this room I think can play in the National Football League.

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 2>And it's gonna be coached by Ryan Crow, who I

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 2>think Dolphins fans are gonna get a great dose of

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Crow and see just what he offers in terms

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 2>of leadership and intensity because he brings that stuff every

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.760
<v Speaker 2>single day. All right, first break right there, we'll come

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 2>back on the other side. We'll do linebackers, defensive backs,

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 2>and special teams here on this podcast. Still, that's all

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:41.159
<v Speaker 2>next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 2>you by Auto Nation, d line and edge positions in

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 2>the bag. That means we have the second level and

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 2>third level of the defense still to discuss. We'll also

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 2>do special teams here, even though again, as you guys know,

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a lot to offer on special teams.

0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be a fun training camp though, trying to

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.959
<v Speaker 2>get through what the kickoffs look like, because no one

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:06.439
<v Speaker 2>really seems to know yet what that's gonna look like.

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 2>And we saw some of it in o Ta's It

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 2>was cool. It was a different experience, and I'm very

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 2>excited to see how that plays out in the NFL,

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 2>which you know NFL. I talked about us on the

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.400
<v Speaker 2>podcast last week about how disappointed I am the content

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 2>standpoint in the NFL media side of things, lopping off

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.159
<v Speaker 2>what to me was the best football podcast from an

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.880
<v Speaker 2>entertainment perspective. But one thing the NFL does really well

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 2>is they adapt their rules and game to adjust to

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.800
<v Speaker 2>what needs to be done. So hopeful that new kickoff

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:35.479
<v Speaker 2>rule has a fun impact. Let's go ahead and talk

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:37.479
<v Speaker 2>about some players that could see some time on those

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 2>kickoffs here on special teams because this linebacker group, I mean,

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.400
<v Speaker 2>look team employee, like Dolphins fan my whole life, typically

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 2>have always taken the positive side. You're gonna say, like, oh,

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:51.359
<v Speaker 2>you're just hyping things up here, but dude, like, where

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>is the flaw here? Man? We just talked about an

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 2>edge group that I like every single player and love

0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.119
<v Speaker 2>the top of that and think the top four or

0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 2>five guys in that rotation is the best in the

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.959
<v Speaker 2>National Football League. When Healthy talked about Sealer and Campbell

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 2>and a good rotation behind those guys to give you

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:09.679
<v Speaker 2>good depth and you know, just rotation. Look at this

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.000
<v Speaker 2>linebacker room and I see two studs. I see a

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 2>guy that has a very defined role. I see a

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:17.159
<v Speaker 2>great special teamer, and then one guy who's trying to

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.399
<v Speaker 2>kind of get his feet wet and maybe has a

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 2>future down the road, but it hasn't happened for him yet.

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Like it's it's basically the way you want to see

0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 2>a room built. So we go down this group here.

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.880
<v Speaker 2>To me, Jordan Brooks is the leader of the room.

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.120
<v Speaker 2>He's got the most production. And David Long's like right there.

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I think he could go either or. But Jordan Brooks's

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.160
<v Speaker 2>instincts and ability to play coverage and ability to fire

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 2>downhill and see things and anticipate the way a great

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:43.160
<v Speaker 2>quarterback does, I think stands out in so many ways.

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.120
<v Speaker 2>He takes great angles, he arrives with tenacity, He can

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 2>time up a rush off the edge as a blitzer.

0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:50.720
<v Speaker 2>He can fall into coverage and play the hook and

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:55.679
<v Speaker 2>carry a tight end or a big receiver down the

0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 2>seam twenty yards and make a play on that football

0:21:57.840 --> 0:21:59.640
<v Speaker 2>and then trigger back and flip his hips and get

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.880
<v Speaker 2>down hill and come get the running back on a checkdown.

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Just a lot of really good skills in Jordan Brooks's

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.359
<v Speaker 2>game that to me kind of exemplifies what Anthony Weaver

0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 2>might want in a linebacker in terms of how we

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 2>saw it with ro Quand Smith and Patrick Queen and Baltimore.

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Just like super Flexible can really expand that hook zone

0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:20.680
<v Speaker 2>from a defensive standpoint and also get downhill and play

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:22.880
<v Speaker 2>a physical brand of football while he can blitz cover

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and defend the run. David Long, I mean, you guys

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 2>saw it last year. I just his instincts for the

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.800
<v Speaker 2>position are so rare and so unique and how he

0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 2>sees it and he reads the key and goes man.

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 2>There is no hesitation in his game. He can get

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.919
<v Speaker 2>into the backfield untouched. I have not seen many linebackers

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.440
<v Speaker 2>that play his size that can deconstruct blocks the way

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 2>he can by slipping them or.

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Getting off of them.

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 2>From a physicality standpoint, he plays the screen game super well.

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Not going to run the vertical coverage aspect I talked

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:53.919
<v Speaker 2>about the Jordan Brooks, but can definitely get sid on

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the sideline and make plays that way. They are a

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 2>really nice combination in terms of instincts and speed and

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.680
<v Speaker 2>tenacity and just setting a certain tone for your defense.

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of ton, I think the next guy in the

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.200
<v Speaker 2>list is Anthony Walker Junior, who is a big gap

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 2>to big gap banger. He can play that hooks on

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit not as much depth and flexibility going backwards,

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.120
<v Speaker 2>but maybe you know, put your feet, plant your feet

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:17.200
<v Speaker 2>in the ground and play going forward downhill in the

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:19.440
<v Speaker 2>run play action game and maybe check a running back

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 2>or a tight end in that short hook or the

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 2>curl flat areas out to the perimeter. I think that

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 2>when they go three backers, which doesn't happen too frequently

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:29.439
<v Speaker 2>in this league, I think Walker is kind of one

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 2>of those guys that comes in and just gives you

0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 2>a really stout run defender, especially in short yards, kind

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:35.960
<v Speaker 2>of like a Landon Roberts was for so many years.

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a more athletic, a little bit more

0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.679
<v Speaker 2>well equipped in the coverage game a Landon Roberts than E.

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Rub was.

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 2>And then after that, I think it's Duke Riley, who

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>in a pinch can really give you some good reps

0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:48.520
<v Speaker 2>on defense. I think the more he was on the

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:51.119
<v Speaker 2>field the more teams kind of put the sombrero on

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:52.880
<v Speaker 2>him and went after him, like in the Kansas City

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 2>game and the results weren't great, or the Baltimore game

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:57.440
<v Speaker 2>for that matter, But when he came off the bench

0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.679
<v Speaker 2>against the Commanders, like he played really really well in

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:01.879
<v Speaker 2>that game when Jerome Baker got hurt. I thought he

0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:04.679
<v Speaker 2>was good against the Titans as well without Baker. But

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:07.399
<v Speaker 2>his biggest prowess to me is on special teams. I

0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 2>thought he really shined in that role before he got

0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 2>the promotion to defense. So I think I would look

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 2>out for him to be a key contributor on those

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 2>new kickoffs and kind of be a guy that helps

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 2>this special teams unit take that next step that needs

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.720
<v Speaker 2>to be taken under coach Crossman, and then Channing Tendall

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.080
<v Speaker 2>will be next. For me. He had one day at

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:27.639
<v Speaker 2>camp and OTAs that was like, WHOA, where has that

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 2>been all this time? Otherwise relatively quiet, but he has

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 2>all the traits you could want, speed, explosiveness.

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Does he get the game though? Does he get football?

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Because he only played like four hundred and fifty snaps

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 2>at Georgia has played twenty snaps on defense. If that

0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>in the National Football League hasn't been great on special

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 2>teams either. Does it finally click for a player like

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:49.119
<v Speaker 2>him who was super young, super raw, and not a

0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:51.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of experience. I mean, we saw a guy Lasher

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 2>on the offensive line that fit that criteria that you

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.080
<v Speaker 2>all and myself included were ready to say it's time

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.119
<v Speaker 2>for a new right tackle. And now he's a new

0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:00.080
<v Speaker 2>contract in a lunch pin of the offensive line, and

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Austin Jackson Ken Chang Tendall take that route. I don't

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.159
<v Speaker 2>think you can just say, oh, it's happened to Austin Jackson,

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 2>so it's gonna happen to Chang Tendall. But I don't

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 2>give up on players after two years just because you know,

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the mental side hasn't clicked yet.

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:13.520
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see.

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 2>But it's definitely not a good sign for a player

0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:17.160
<v Speaker 2>when you go out and you acquire, you know, three

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:19.719
<v Speaker 2>free agent linebackers in the last two years to basically

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 2>supplant the role that he was hoping to find. And

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 2>then Zeke Vandenberg got hurt last year in camp and

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:25.600
<v Speaker 2>he'll come back and try to compete for a role

0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:27.920
<v Speaker 2>on this year's team. And this is all coordinated by

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 2>linebackers coach and run game coordinator Joe Berry, who comes

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:33.880
<v Speaker 2>over from the Packers as the DC the last couple

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.399
<v Speaker 2>of years there in Green Bay. Let's do cornerbacks and

0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 2>then we'll take a break and finish up with safties

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and special teams. I mean, stop me if you've heard

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:45.639
<v Speaker 2>this before. I think this room is pretty good. It

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 2>starts with Jalen Ramsey, who is I talked about on

0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the AC East Recap podcast. To me, is the best,

0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the best defensive player in the division. I think he's

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:56.119
<v Speaker 2>I think he's still the best cornerback in the NFL

0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 2>because of his flexibility, because he can play safety, because

0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 2>he can play buck line, because he can play the

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.679
<v Speaker 2>star position, because he can play on the flanker against

0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Garrett Wilson and lock him down for an entire game.

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 2>He is elite in his preparation, in his mindset, as

0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:13.119
<v Speaker 2>a teammate, in his involvement. He is so committed to

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:15.520
<v Speaker 2>the Miami Dolphins. He is physically one of the best

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 2>players I've ever seen in my entire life from a

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 2>length and explosiveness standpoint. He anticipates, he knows how to

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:23.960
<v Speaker 2>prevent getting stacked. He knows when he can drive on

0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:26.120
<v Speaker 2>balls and how he can recognize route concepts and get

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 2>himself in position before the ball even gets there. Elite

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:32.399
<v Speaker 2>player and I've harped on this so damn much. I

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 2>can't wait to watch it in training camp. Kendall Fuller

0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 2>is the number two cornerback for me, hands down. And

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think you have to necessarily dictate who

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:42.880
<v Speaker 2>your slot cornerback is because both of these guys are

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 2>maybe as good in the slot as they are on

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 2>the perimeter, and that can just help you every single

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 2>week dictate matchups how you want to. Typically the offense

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 2>is the one who dictates matchups, but defensively, when you

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:57.320
<v Speaker 2>have guys that can do this, and I would put

0:26:57.400 --> 0:27:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Javon Hall in this category as well, which three absolute

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.919
<v Speaker 2>studs and coverage that can play anywhere on defense, the

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 2>offense has to account for that, and I think they're

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:08.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to against Ramsey Fuller, excuse me, and the

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:11.639
<v Speaker 2>rest of the defensive backfield here and with Kendall Fuller

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 2>just the instincts for the position, it's basically copy and

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 2>paste of Ramsey Sands. All the physical skills that I

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:20.639
<v Speaker 2>raved about which are are there, They're just not quite

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:24.520
<v Speaker 2>as unique and rare as what Ramsey features. But from

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 2>an intellectual standpoint, I think these guys are gonna drive

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the scheme and they're gonna really be dependent upon these

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 2>two guys's flexibility to create game plans that are tailored

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:36.840
<v Speaker 2>specifically for each team to shut down what those teams

0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:40.080
<v Speaker 2>do well because of Ramsey and Fuller's flexibility on the

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:42.600
<v Speaker 2>back end. And then I mentioned the slot cornerback. I

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:44.640
<v Speaker 2>don't think you have to determine. I think the Cater

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Coohu and camp Smith battle figures to be maybe one

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 2>of the most intriguing in all of camp and I

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 2>look at Cater's ability to play inside as a benefit

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:56.199
<v Speaker 2>to him, whereas Cam's ability to play on the perimeter

0:27:56.320 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 2>is a benefit to him.

0:27:57.320 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 1>So it could be you.

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Have your third and fourth cornerback are almost interchangeable on

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.440
<v Speaker 2>a game plan basis, Like don't be surprised if one

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>starts one game and plays sixty snaps and one starts

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 2>the next game and plays sixty snaps. Cater strengths are

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:15.880
<v Speaker 2>playing downhill. He has that Tasmanian devil slop cornerback type

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 2>of mentality where he will go hit you.

0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's a better.

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Tackler in the game in that position than him, or

0:28:21.760 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe maybe there's a couple. Taron Johnson's a guy that

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 2>comes to mind. Tr Trent McDuffie for the Kansas City Chiefs, like,

0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 2>there's a couple of guys that fit that category. But

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 2>cater Co who's right there a little grabby in coverage

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:35.879
<v Speaker 2>last year. I think when he's on the perimeter, you know,

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 2>without help, there was some exposing there in terms of

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the technique in the coverage. But I think that he

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 2>can really bounce back and find his rookie year form

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.640
<v Speaker 2>again and be that player for you where Cam Smith,

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 2>like gosh, watching him glide around and practice at camp,

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 2>it didn't translate to games, and we saw him kind

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 2>of take the cheese on double moves of time or

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 2>two here or there. But he's physical, he seems to

0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 2>understand route concepts and how he can take chances. And

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I hope a fresh slate here for him can really

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.880
<v Speaker 2>produce in year two because I think those two guys,

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 2>it's a big year for both cater and Cam Smith,

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 2>and if neither of them can kind of find their

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 2>footing in that role, then I think that Ethan Bonner

0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 2>has a chance to be a dude because I saw

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 2>much of the same in terms of how he can

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of mix his looks and show you, hey, I'm

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna press up and plays play a man against you.

0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 2>But all of a sudden, the snap bail out and

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm zone turning and playing off coverage, and now the

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 2>quarterback has a different picture in the receiver has his

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:30.800
<v Speaker 2>release playing kind of thrown off pace, and then he's

0:29:30.840 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 2>incredibly fast. We saw him get over the top of

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:34.440
<v Speaker 2>the formation in that Kansas City game and make a

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:37.479
<v Speaker 2>big tackle before the sticks he finds the football had

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:39.080
<v Speaker 2>a big force fumble in that game as well, So

0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that his I think there's something there with

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Ethan Bonner.

0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:44.360
<v Speaker 1>And to me, those top.

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Five guys are really good players that can make a

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 2>big impact here, and then to me, that's the line

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:52.120
<v Speaker 2>of demarcation. I think Saran Neil probably his next in

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 2>that group. Although he is a special teamer, you know,

0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 2>true and true like some of the best special teams

0:29:56.960 --> 0:30:00.040
<v Speaker 2>tape in the National Football League, who you know, I

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't say it's like Key on Crossman, where if you

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 2>put him on defense, it's going to be that look

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:05.160
<v Speaker 2>like that, but I think that he can do more

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 2>for you there and more on special teams, but kind

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 2>of in that same vein. And then I would look

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 2>towards I like Isaiah Johnson and Storm Duck's college tape,

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.239
<v Speaker 2>but you know, UDFA is trying to crack this room,

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be tough. I think i'd probably go with

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Storm Duck as the one that could do it. I

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:24.720
<v Speaker 2>would put them in the same group as Jason my Tray,

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 2>who's also here, was a late addition to the team.

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 2>So that's the room there. It's coached by Matthew Arujo

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 2>and assistant DB's coach to Shan Shed getting this group

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 2>ready to go to make a run of this thing

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 2>here and hopefully that that Ramsey in fuller connection mat

0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it's gonna be a big impact on this defense.

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and take our last break right there.

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Come back on the other side and do one more

0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:47.680
<v Speaker 2>segment before training camp. We'll do safeties and specialists. That

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 2>is next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:57.240
<v Speaker 2>to you by Auto Nation. It has been well documented

0:30:57.480 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 2>on this podcast. I tweet about it less these dayly.

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I put some ig stories up that your boy is

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 2>basically playing the South Florida Majors all week long. In fact,

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:09.320
<v Speaker 2>my schedule we're gonna be into this already as far

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 2>as golf goes, is Monday the fifteenth, Plantation Preserve, Tuesday

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 2>or Wednesday. I don't have plans yet, but I'll probably

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 2>go play a solo round somewhere by myself Wednesday, no

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 2>no check that. Thursday, gonna go play Normandy Shores in Miami.

0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Friday gonna go play Miami Beach Golf Club, also in Miami.

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:31.800
<v Speaker 2>I think Saturday is gonna be either back to Preserve

0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:35.920
<v Speaker 2>or at Miami Shores, and then Sunday my last hurrah

0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:38.080
<v Speaker 2>at my home course, Pembrooke Lake. So if you want

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 2>to come out and play some golf, that's where I'm

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna be. I guess this is already late into that,

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:44.240
<v Speaker 2>So this weekends when you're gonna get a chance to

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:46.880
<v Speaker 2>come out and play some golf. But the goal is

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 2>to average eighty two.

0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 1>That's my.

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Net stroke goal, and I want to break eighty twice.

0:31:54.640 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I've done it two times this year, did it once

0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:59.040
<v Speaker 2>last year, my second full year playing golf. Want to

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 2>break eighty two more times this year and go into

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the season and not forget about my swing because last

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 2>year I didn't play it all during the football season,

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:09.640
<v Speaker 2>but go into training camp with a couple of seventy

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 2>eights and seventy five on my resume hopefully.

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:12.720
<v Speaker 1>So that's me.

0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and finish up this position group here

0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:18.200
<v Speaker 2>that the defensive side of the football with the safeties

0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 2>and again more additions here. We had one late into

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:23.880
<v Speaker 2>the offseason that I think makes a big impact in

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:26.880
<v Speaker 2>this whole room is kicked off and the straw that

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:30.640
<v Speaker 2>stirs the drink here is Yevon Holland. Jevon Holland one

0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 2>of the best safeties in the National Football League, one

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 2>of the best Twitter accounts in the National Football League.

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Two for my money, questionable golf swing, but he's getting

0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 2>there now.

0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kidding. Jeavon.

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 2>You probably own some the podcast, but your swinging's good

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 2>for a first year golf for sure. His defensive prowess

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 2>is centered on the same things we talked about with

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Ramsey and Kendall Fullard.

0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:51.959
<v Speaker 1>Number one.

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I go back to this clip all the time, the

0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.479
<v Speaker 2>PAC twelve Championship game for a few years back when

0:32:56.520 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 2>he was at Oregon where he was playing the backside

0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 2>two and the front side three ran over route and

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:05.840
<v Speaker 2>he knew, based upon the route combination, how he could

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 2>basically pass off his man and jump the route of

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 2>somebody else. Like I made the comparison a while back,

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:12.719
<v Speaker 2>and I won't do it again, but it was so

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Ed Reid like in the anticipation and the vision for

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 2>the field. And I think that this year's defense needs

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 2>to find a way to maximize that better. And we

0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:25.600
<v Speaker 2>know that last year's presentation with static present the exact

0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:27.960
<v Speaker 2>same look. Every snap will rotate from there. I think

0:33:28.040 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Javon's ability to line up in multiple places. I mean,

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 2>go back to that Baltimore game in twenty twenty one

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 2>when he was down on line of scrimmage and coming

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 2>after Lamar Jackson, Like, why would we not utilize that

0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:41.240
<v Speaker 2>more frequently and find more ways to get him involved

0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 2>in different areas of the game. I think your entire

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 2>room here, your entire purpose should be to free up

0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Javon halland to go make plays. Whether it's in the post,

0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 2>whether it's in the slot, whether it's in the box.

0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 2>He can do anything and everything, and he will help

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 2>this room kind of go and I look at the

0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:59.560
<v Speaker 2>next two guys to me or Jordan Poyer and Marcus

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Maykin of interchangeable in terms of the skill sets for me,

0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 2>both physical, both love to come down and hit. Marcus

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 2>may really really supports the run super well and can

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 2>make an occasional play in the football. But going vertical

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:13.240
<v Speaker 2>and coverage, I think that's kind of a saft spot

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:15.400
<v Speaker 2>for those two guys. So I don't want to I

0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:17.840
<v Speaker 2>don't expect to see either of them playing in the

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 2>post alone this season outside of a couple of occurrences

0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:23.279
<v Speaker 2>and even some two high splits where they probably going

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:25.800
<v Speaker 2>to play more robber role and try to play forward

0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:29.279
<v Speaker 2>opposed to going back and also limit their exposure to

0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:32.279
<v Speaker 2>man coverage and slot positions or the like. So I

0:34:32.320 --> 0:34:36.239
<v Speaker 2>think that those three together, Holland, Poyer and May have

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:39.319
<v Speaker 2>a really good collection of skills that complement each other

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:41.959
<v Speaker 2>in what would be a big Nickel package right five

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:44.680
<v Speaker 2>defensive backs. Three of those guys are safeties. You'll play

0:34:44.680 --> 0:34:47.080
<v Speaker 2>three safeties and two perimeterive cornerbacks. Like I can see

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of defense this year where it's Holland, Poyer,

0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:52.919
<v Speaker 2>May and then Ramsey and Fuller because what we talked

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:54.640
<v Speaker 2>about like there's a kind of drop off there at

0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.360
<v Speaker 2>cornerback after those two guys because they're both all world

0:34:57.640 --> 0:34:59.680
<v Speaker 2>and nobody else in the room is yet. And then

0:34:59.680 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 2>it say like Javon Hollins all world, Poyer may have

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 2>a specific role, and then from there it's like an

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:07.839
<v Speaker 2>experienced safety Nick Needum or you know Elijah Campbell who's

0:35:07.840 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 2>played a lot of special teams, not as many reps

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:12.359
<v Speaker 2>on defense. But I think those three guys in your

0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 2>big nickel would be a very impressive group. I think

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Elijah Campbell could slot into one of those roles and

0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:19.840
<v Speaker 2>if needed in case of an injury. I think that

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:23.000
<v Speaker 2>his tackling ability and there's was some range last year

0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 2>he showed as well that shows up on special teams,

0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:28.040
<v Speaker 2>but also on defense. I think need him is probably

0:35:28.080 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 2>your next post player. If something were to happen to

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Javon and he doesn't you know, he misses some games

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 2>like he did last year, I think he has the

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:36.360
<v Speaker 2>best ability to kind of range silent the sideline and

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 2>see the game from that position, but also tackle well

0:35:38.880 --> 0:35:40.840
<v Speaker 2>in that critical position on the football field.

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:42.719
<v Speaker 1>So those are the like the five guys that I

0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:46.799
<v Speaker 1>think will be on the team I suppose are going

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:48.600
<v Speaker 1>into training camp. That's how you stack the depth chart.

0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's do it in order to hear Javon for

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.440
<v Speaker 2>me Poyer in Mays two and three or three and

0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 2>two like interchangeable. And then I'll go Campbell for need

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:58.800
<v Speaker 2>him five with the rookies rounding it out, Patrick McMorris.

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:01.439
<v Speaker 2>McMorris will be six from and he has a great chance,

0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I think, to be a special teams impact player right away.

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 2>And then Mark Perry and Jordan colbra I thought had

0:36:05.640 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 2>good OTAs as well, so fun balt there to kind

0:36:07.640 --> 0:36:09.280
<v Speaker 2>of run out the back end of the safety group

0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 2>on this defense. The defensive backs and past game specialist

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:16.360
<v Speaker 2>coach is Ryan Slowick. He was with the outside linebackers

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 2>last year, very very well regarded in the building as

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 2>a coach, and there's a reason that he's back under

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 2>a new coaching staff. Here specialist Jason Sanders, Jake Bailey,

0:36:24.719 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 2>and Blake Ferguson. They play football like I don't know. Man.

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Sanders is pretty consistent last year.

0:36:29.880 --> 0:36:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Had started finding that the range on the deep field

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:34.319
<v Speaker 2>goals late in the year, which was great to see

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 2>that comeback. Bailey I thought was a great holder, the

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:39.440
<v Speaker 2>punting wasn't as good, the covers teams were not as

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:42.680
<v Speaker 2>good that year last year. And then Blake is a

0:36:42.800 --> 0:36:44.600
<v Speaker 2>long snapper as a second contract here, so I tell

0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:47.160
<v Speaker 2>us what they think about him. Danny Crossman's back Ronnie

0:36:47.200 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Bradford the new assistant special teams coach here. I think

0:36:50.239 --> 0:36:52.560
<v Speaker 2>that the biggest addition to this group was just the

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:55.799
<v Speaker 2>overall names in terms of back end of the roster,

0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 2>guys that can be core special teamers, like you know,

0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Duke Riley got kind of pulled off that late in

0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:03.200
<v Speaker 2>the year last year. Saran Neil's gonna be the ace

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:06.280
<v Speaker 2>of that room, you know, alec Ingold's role in that position.

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I think Durham Smyth because of John Neus Smith and

0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Jody Fortson can play more on special teams. Cam Brown again,

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Cam Brown's gonna be a big impact player on special teams,

0:37:14.680 --> 0:37:17.399
<v Speaker 2>maybe even defense as well. New kickoff rule is gonna

0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:18.640
<v Speaker 2>be so much fun. I can't wait to watch how

0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:20.279
<v Speaker 2>they attack it. That's gonna be the biggest thing for

0:37:20.320 --> 0:37:22.520
<v Speaker 2>me to watch in training camp. Sometimes it's just how

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 2>the special teams look.

0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 1>So there you go. That is the last podcast You're

0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:27.000
