WEBVTT - Drive Time: Minicamp 2025 Day 2 Report

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 2>What is up, dollphans, and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 2>another day of many can't practice in the books. We'll

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 2>take you through the practice notes and all the quotes

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 2>from all the guys, including Coach McDaniel, Storm, Doug, Isaiah Johnson,

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Bradley Chubb, Jalen Phillips. We'll see if I have enough

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>time for a couple additional sound bites as well. I

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 2>don't want to promise it, but we'll see when we

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 2>get there. From the Baptist Hell Studios inside the Baptist

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Health Training Complex. This is the Draft Time Podcast day.

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 2>So yesterday's show was one of those ones where all

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 2>the stars kind of aligned for me. And what I

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 2>mean by that is the narratives that I was tracking

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 2>throughout the day and getting quotes from also played out

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>on the field and it just kind of aim together

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>into this perfect goulage, if you will. Today is not

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the same, and there's a decent amount of residual content

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>that kind of carries over from yesterday. And I queue

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 2>it up this way because I want to start to

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.559
<v Speaker 2>talk about Storm Duck and Isaiah Johnson, who we talked

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 2>about on the podcast yesterday, as well as cater Coho

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 2>and bj Adams and Already Burns, these cornerbacks that are

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>taking this aggressive play style and getting production from it

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>on the back end. And with every practice I just

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 2>continue to see more of the same from that group.

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>They're showing this aptitude for aggression and being very productive

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 2>with what they're doing at the line of scrimmage in disruption,

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 2>whether it's a dummy press or an actual press. But

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 2>then they can carry that physicality down the stem and

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 2>challenge the catch point on a pretty damn good group

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 2>of wide receivers, right Like I talked about Storm matching

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>up on Tanner Connor and winning a rep against him yesterday,

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>and that's a guy that he has a size mismatch

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>or disadvantage against. And then today I saw him win

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 2>an outbreaker where he was able to get underneath Jalen Waddle,

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 2>who has torched just about anybody that's come across him

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>in this entire you know, spring portion and drive on

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>that throw to get a breakup on the coveted Tua

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>to Wattle connections so far this spring. Isaiah Johnson will

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>play a sound clip from him on this in just

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>one second. He talked about the coaches that challenged him

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>to take a step after a productive spring, and that

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 2>was meant to say to go make a play, go

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 2>go get a turnover because and you know, I'll admit

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>this to kind of take it back before I go

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>forward again. I think cornerback is one of the toughest

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>positions to evaluate, especially in a live setting, because oftentimes

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 2>the best corners they don't have the stats or even

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 2>the tangible reps in terms of the ones where they

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>give their best stuff. Like I think about Richard Sherman.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 2>For years after he got a bunch of picks, early

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 2>teams were they wised up and they're like, we're not

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 2>going to go after that guy anymore because he's going

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 2>to take away more balls and he's going to allow receptions.

0:02:58.440 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>NOMINDI awesome.

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Wall was that way for a long time with the

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Las Vegas for the Oakland Raiders way back in the day.

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I think about Sauce Gardner, who doesn't have a bunch

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>of picks to his name, but he's one of the

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.079
<v Speaker 2>best cover corners in the entire NFL. Teams just don't

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>want to try the guys that can get their hands

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>on footballs and take it away because you know, typically

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 2>a great rep from a cornerback means there's no target,

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 2>right like, if they pick off the pass, they've either

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>done a great job of baiting the quarterback into a

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 2>bad throw or they gave the quarterbacks some indication, some

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 2>semblance that that was the best place to go with

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the football. And when they completely dominate a rep, a

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 2>quarterback's going to say, yeah, I'm good. I'm not gonna

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to go that way because there is number,

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever, the cornerback's number thirty seven for Isia Johnson.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>He's all over him, So why am I going to

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 2>test him that way? And I think, you know, unless

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>you're watching that individual matchup, when they have those dominant reps,

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of tough to see. So it's difficult to

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>absorb a bunch of reps from guys that way because

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I'd have to basically take my attention off the rest

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>of practice. And I've made no secret about this fact

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>that cornerback. Among all the years of doing you know,

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>draft preview and giving you my thoughts on prospects what

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>they could be the next level. I think the lowest

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 2>batting average I have in terms of a position group

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 2>is cornerbacks. And I say all of that because once

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the playmaking comes in, that's when guys tend to get noticed.

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>But I can't help but really glom onto this idea

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 2>of a second year within the defense, a defense that

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 2>really showed case. It's stuff from a zone coverage perspective,

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 2>and you take those clues in those data points to

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 2>extrapolate what it might be the next season. Right, And

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 2>we have numbers on coverage splits in terms of you know,

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.239
<v Speaker 2>shell structure man versus zone press versus off.

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>All of that.

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 2>You can find that data the Monday after the game

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>every game you play, and obviously the cumulative you know,

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 2>whole season stats and we see stuff in camp. It's

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>not something you report on though. That's a rule across

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 2>the league. Don't talk about formation and motions and route

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 2>concepts like that's reporters know better than to do that.

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 2>But even if you did that, it's tough to project

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>the exact balance of what it's going to be come

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>September and the games when you have actual data tracking

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>all of that. Because I'll tell you what if a

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 2>reporter came out here and watched practice and was able

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 2>to give me man versus zone splits. I would say

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>you're the Hall of Fame of training camp watchers, because

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>that would be quite impressive. And you guys know how

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel about taking stats like quarterback stats in practice.

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't see the value in that, but this would

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>have quite a lot of value. But I'm not saying

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 2>we're doing that. I'm just I'm communicating how tough it

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>is to evaluate those players in those positions because of

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 2>all these variables. And I say all this because I

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 2>felt last year's calling card on the defense was the

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 2>string of zone coverages that really played off each other.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 2>When you design plays in football, you have to every

0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>single rule or assignment has to have a description as

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 2>to why or how the offense or defense might react

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>to that particular move or rule or player. And you

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 2>have to be able to unfurl a you know what

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.919
<v Speaker 2>happens if ABC occurs, and you structure your plays in

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 2>a way that it all makes sense and tethers together.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 2>That's that's what play scripting and play calling is all about.

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.679
<v Speaker 2>It's not just like hey call the Madden four verts

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 2>versus a you know, half back slam, whatever the hell

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 2>the Madden plays are, it's it's a lot more than

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 2>that simplicity of a Madden game. And for the defense,

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 2>it was this creative you know structure in terms of

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 2>how those structures aligned and presented rules in a very

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 2>easily digestible way to the defensive backs and the entire defense.

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 1>All eleven guys.

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>So last year the split was twenty three percent man

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 2>coverage seventy seven percent zone coverage. That was the twenty

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>third highest man coverage rate in all of football. And again,

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>as I've told you guys all summer, in all spring

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>or all winter and spring, I guess that the highest

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>man average rate in football is typically like right on

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 2>the precipice of fifty percent. So even if you're gonna

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 2>play more man coverage, it doesn't even mean more than

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>half the time. But that structure last year, the kind

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 2>of you know, three quarters of the time zone one

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 2>quarter of the time man coverage was effective and it

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>worked really well with our rush games, our sim pressure

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.239
<v Speaker 2>package for sure, and our blitzes in the entire package

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>of that year one of the defense. But now in

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>year two, as we've discussed at length, at this point

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 2>of June, you expand that menu becomes more expansive, and

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>we've been over that, and I think we're seeing that

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 2>play out here in the month of June on the

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 2>practice field. And when I look at it, I think

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>about it twofold number one, the pass rush personnel, it's

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 2>just flat out better. I mean, you return Jalen Phillips

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>and Bradley Chubb. That alone takes care of that for me.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>And you think about Chop Robinson coming into year two.

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 2>I asked James Daniels today about the Dolphins front and unprompted,

0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the first thing he said was something to the effect

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 2>of like forty four or is really good. He's been impressive.

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Then you add, you know Kenneth Grant and what I've

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 2>talked about with him, We heard from coach McDaniel on

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 2>him earlier today.

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>What will play some sound on that later on the

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>show for you guys.

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Phillips and watching him throw those like five hundred

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 2>pound sleds like they are one hundred and fifty pound

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>podcasters out of the club. You toss Willie Gay and

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 2>if Emela fan will in there and all they've done

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 2>with their rush profiles, over their careers. So if the

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 2>personnel is better and the menu is deeper, then you

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 2>can probably count on more pressure, more one on one wins,

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.439
<v Speaker 2>absence the need to blitz right, and that creates more

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 2>seven man coverage plays, and then you get into these

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 2>cool mixes of hybrid zone versus man coverage where we

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 2>can play that press aggressive style with everybody on one rep,

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 2>we can even zero you and bring everybody down into

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 2>the fit and go man across the board, and then

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 2>on another play we can show that same presentation. And

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>now you've got a half field hybrid coverage with a

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>manager where he goes concept like you can get so

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>deep into the menu, into the weeds, and the opposing

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.679
<v Speaker 2>quarterback better match that in the way he prepares the

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 2>entire week. If I've lost you, let's boil it down

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 2>to this, the second aspect of my two fold here.

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 2>If I can count on more one on one rush wins,

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.320
<v Speaker 2>or I just have a deeper compliment to rush the

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 2>way I did last year, which was through rush games, right,

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 2>that's slants and twists and pick stunts and things like that.

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 2>It can just be more effective of what I already did.

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>And from all that then I can gamble more, And

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 2>by gamble that might be the wrong word, because that

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>insinuates that you're like trying to, you know, trade off

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 2>big plays for big plays. But when you play aggressive,

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>you're the one forcing the issue, You're dictating the terms.

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 2>It's like being a strike thrower in baseball. I'm coming

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 2>after you. And maybe that increases your odds of me

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 2>leaving one fat over the plate and squaring up off

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the barrel for a four hundred and fifty foot home run.

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 2>And you know that's the worst case scenario, but it

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 2>also increases my chances of getting swings and misses or

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 2>perhaps even more apt week contact and you put the

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 2>ball on the ground to the shortstop for a tailor

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 2>made six, four to three, and we're out of the

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 2>inning when it looked like we were in trouble with

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 2>runners on the base pass. So if I'm confident in

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>the rush getting home fast, I have a quarterback on

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the opposite side that just saw three different zone presentations.

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.199
<v Speaker 2>He gets what he thinks is that same presentation once again,

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>but then it becomes this reroute man call with safety

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 2>spamming the hot outlets within that blitz package, and they're

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>jumping stuff because we have confidence that we're going to

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 2>get home in two two and a half seconds. That's

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot for the quarterback to contend with, and more

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 2>than what they had last year. And I go back

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>to that Rams game, like, Matthew Stafford is a borderline

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame quarterback, and maybe if he wins in

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>their championship he is one.

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he already is one. I don't know.

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.680
<v Speaker 2>He's really damn good, right, he was swimming in that

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 2>game against a defense that was absent, those edge defenders

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I talked about, We've were nicked up throughout the course

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>of the season, and that defense got after a really

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 2>good quarterback. It's kind of the blueprint for how I

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 2>think this entire operation wants to work, and kind of

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the jumping off point for where you can get to

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 2>next against these good level quarterbacks. The Texans game was

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 2>the same way the Niners game down late in the

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 2>year was the same way.

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, C. J.

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Stroud and Brock Purty looked like middling quarterbacks, and those

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 2>are guys that have produced top ten numbers for you know,

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years now. So I think back to

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Weaver discussing playing connected in his last media availability

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 2>with US playing team football and how it will be

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 2>good defense, Like it's going to be good defense if

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.559
<v Speaker 2>we do those things. And I think there's no mistake

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 2>or coincidence about how it was built from the front

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 2>seven perspective, with your first round pick being a defensive

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.839
<v Speaker 2>tackle with three additions alongside Jordan Brooks and Willie Gay,

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Tyrel Dodson and kJ Britt, with the return of those

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 2>guys off the edge, adding a first round pick last

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 2>year off the edge when the expectation was at some

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.840
<v Speaker 2>point you would have fifteen and two back in the fold.

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 2>They've really gone after those position groups, I mean beyond

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 2>KG Jordan Phillips and Zeke Biggers, and they go get

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Malcolm Butler as well. But my goodness, man, those are

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of guys to contend with. And I think

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>what I see, I think is a front seven that

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 2>you expect to be really good, and then a defensive

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 2>backfield that the way it's called and coached, with the

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 2>skills of the personnel matches what you expect to have

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 2>in that front seven. Perhaps I'm wrong, and I'm just

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 2>speculating out my backside here, and I'm completely wrong. But

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 2>that's that's what I think it think it is and

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 2>what it could look like. So with all that in mind,

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>after another really good practice from Storm Duck and Isaiah Johnson,

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's kind of the same name for me here

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 2>multiple days in a row.

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Cater Co who fits this bill as well.

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Bja Adams, a guy that gets in the notes a

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>lot already Burns I've been impressed with so far through camp,

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Like there's a play style there, right, And I think

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>back to the draft even look with Jade Barron, a

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 2>guy that I was talking about at length. If you

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about his shortcoming, it was at Texas.

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 2>It was the ability to come up and press and

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 2>play that man coverage. So to me, there's breadcrumbs there

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 2>that track that this all fits together. And with the

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.839
<v Speaker 2>way I've seen Storm and Isaiah take to the scheme

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 2>and the guys I talked about, it just kind of

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.199
<v Speaker 2>clicks for me. So I wanted to ask those two

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 2>guys about some of that stuff. And I don't really

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 2>even have a particular tie in here. I just kind

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 2>of wanted to play some Isaiah Johnson's sound bites because

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.199
<v Speaker 2>listen to the way this guy talks about outside perspective

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.079
<v Speaker 2>and motivation and social media, which he told us he

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 2>doesn't even have social media, and for him at that age, like,

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm already impressed by that by itself. Let's hear about

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Johnson on the outside noise with this cornerback group

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and how he contends with that.

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, at the end of the day, you got

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 3>here because of your own motivation, not because of anybody else.

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Me personally, I know that for sure. He was never

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 3>an outside motivation. It was always internal for me. And

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.719
<v Speaker 3>I know that's for everybody in the room, where it's

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 3>one of those things where you can't make it this

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.719
<v Speaker 3>far unless you're pushing yourself to be the best. So

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 3>if you want to look at it that way, you can.

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 3>But I think for the room right now, it's just

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 3>everybody's trying to earn their stripes and everybody's trying to

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 3>get on that field and play ball.

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.600
<v Speaker 1>And then he was asked who teaches who in that room,

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and I just loved, loved this freak answer.

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 3>We all teach each other. It's really fun that way.

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, we all go in there watching film together,

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 3>we all are talking to each other, seeing what somebody

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 3>does well. Asking them about it, because, like I said,

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 3>nobody has a name, So everybody's just trying to learn.

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.680
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's just trying to get better than everybody's just trying

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 3>to work.

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 2>And here he is on the thing I just talked

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 2>about for fifteen minutes about physicality, getting hands on receivers

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 2>and gives us even some more here talking about the

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>timing nature of today's passing offenses.

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just it's important.

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you can always change change the time.

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>And quarterbacks and schemes.

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 3>It's a lot of time, and nowadays, especially because of

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 3>the offensive trees that have taken over the league, and

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 3>so being able to get hands on and mess up

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 3>time and being able to be physical changes the game

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 3>for a dB makes it a lot less reactive and

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 3>coach coach ruge, they allow us to be like that.

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 3>They want physical corners who get hands on. So it's

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 3>one thing where we like again, we all learn from

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 3>each other in the film room and then we all

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 3>work on it every day out on the practice.

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 2>One more here with Isaiah before we go ahead and

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 2>take our first break. He was asked about the pick

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 2>he had in Tuesday practice. Here's Isaiah Johnson.

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was just one of those things where again

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 3>the work's coming coming through fruition. We work on disguising

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 3>a lot, We work on trying to make the quarterback

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 3>see something that maybe might not be there, and then

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the day, it's about making the play.

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Coach had challenged me before practice, he said, you're doing

0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 3>real well. Now it's time to make a play. So

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 3>when I have my chances, I'm thankful and I'm grateful

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 3>that I was able to make the most of it. Really,

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 3>that one was all about knowledge, knowing, knowing the formation,

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 3>and being able to have some expectations of what the

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 3>play is coming your way, and then at the end

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 3>of the day, being physical and attacking at attacking the

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 3>ball at the end of the play and go on

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 3>and grab it.

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>We're up against the breaks, We're gonna go ahead and

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 2>take that right here. We'll come back on the other

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 2>side and hear from Storm Duck and talk about the

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 2>play of those two guys a little bit more. We'll

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 2>get into some more practice notes, talk about Tua e

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Chan Wattle Chubb fill ups a bunch of notes for

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you guys from today's practice. That's next Draft Time Podcast.

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Brought to you by Auto Nation. I got three soundbites

0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>here from Dolphins cornerback Storm Duck. Let's go ahead and

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 2>kick it off with him answering a similar question for

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Johnson about the value the impact of rerouting guys

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>at the land of scrimmage getting hands on players.

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Here's Storm Duck.

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, No, definitely. I mean all of us really like to,

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, get hands on and be physical because I

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.560
<v Speaker 4>mean at the corner position. And I mean, as you know,

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 4>offenses they've allowed like Tom and a lot in a

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 4>simple you know, kick slide or whatever the technique might

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 4>be inch that can throw off the offense. So I

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 4>mean it's fun, you know, just being able to compete,

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean with the receiver of room, like every single

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 4>day to come out there, it's been fun. So they

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 4>get us better, we get them better. So you know,

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 4>it's a lot of back and forth. But in the

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 4>day we're having fun with it.

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Back to Storm again here for a discussion about the

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.880
<v Speaker 2>versatility of this defense and how playing multiple positions, and

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 2>this is really true of the front where we really

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 2>learned this last year of the defense and the ability

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 2>to get to all the different rush games. Playing every

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 2>spot and having knowledge from all those spots, well, it

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>pertains to the defensive backfield too.

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Here's Storm Duck.

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm playing multiple positions and how it gives you a

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 2>better understanding for the entire defense and allows you to

0:16:58.480 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 2>play fast. Yeah.

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 4>I think the more you know, the more or the

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 4>faster you can play.

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 5>Like at dB.

0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 4>So obviously know what you know, where the safety is,

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 4>what the linebackers are, nickel corners.

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Knowing where you know.

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 4>Your help is, where your help isn't I think all

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 4>that goes into you know, playing fast and you know,

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 4>being smoothed.

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Last one here for Storm.

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 2>And we've talked about the competitive nature of these practices

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 2>and the young roster and how it breeds competition naturally

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 2>that way, and I think you think about that in

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 2>terms of the on field play. But one thing that

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 2>maybe you don't think about for me or anybody is

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 2>the idea of how you prepare because you have to

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.719
<v Speaker 2>be on your stuff because if you're not and somebody

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 2>else is and you get surpassed in the depth chart

0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:41.679
<v Speaker 2>that way, shame on you, right. So it generates this

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 2>this urgency to be on top of the playbook, and

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 2>you get that sense from talking to these players.

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Here's Storm duck on just that now I think.

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.639
<v Speaker 4>So, I mean it comes down to the you know

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 4>how much and you know, look at the playbook and

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.399
<v Speaker 4>you know how how you apply it because I mean

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 4>and the coaches give it to us, you know, in

0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 4>great ways. You know, whether it's visually going out in

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.919
<v Speaker 4>the field, like every type of learning you are is

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.480
<v Speaker 4>the way it's taught here. So there's no way for

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.359
<v Speaker 4>you not to you know, know what you're supposed to do,

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 4>not to say like you know, I mean, with any profession,

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.680
<v Speaker 4>you will make a mistake at Tom's. But what we're

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.880
<v Speaker 4>taught here is like every.

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 3>Learning can learn it.

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 4>It could probably be broken down to like a little

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 4>kid or you know, you know, an older person. So

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 4>interview it is a great job, and I'm just glad

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 4>to have opportunity to play man.

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:27.720
<v Speaker 2>That was my first time talking to Storm at length,

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 2>and I really really sharp dude. All right, let's go

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 2>ahead and continue on here. And you know, I try

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>my best to not root for certain things in practice,

0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:41.399
<v Speaker 2>but I got to give you guys a little bit

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 2>of inside baseball on what happened today. I was leaning

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 2>towards Willie Gay as my Player of the day after

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 2>he made two plays in coverage and one against the run,

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.159
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, this guy's all over the field

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 2>showing those chops in coverage, and this is something I have,

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, long wondered and perhaps can ask down the road.

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 2>But we look, you know, we know in these camps

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 2>that you can sometimes get guys that cheat the play, right,

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.119
<v Speaker 2>they know the offense, the offense knows the defense and

0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 2>what you want to do. I used to ask Oj

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:10.120
<v Speaker 2>McDuffie all the time about this, and Oj would every

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 2>single time, Man, they cheat every play. He thought, every

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 2>dB cheats every rep. And I'm sure a cornerback would

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 2>say the same thing about a receiver across the ball.

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, Willie, he had this rep and you know,

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.399
<v Speaker 2>football boiled down to its core element.

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Is this right?

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.199
<v Speaker 2>It's how can we create space by manipulating where you

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 2>think you need to go? So if the player knows

0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 2>what the offense is going to do to manipulate him,

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 2>then you can just cheat your way right into the

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.520
<v Speaker 2>correct position. Now I don't think that's the case here,

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 2>but Willy was just all over the place and coverage

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:43.159
<v Speaker 2>and it started on a rep where they tried to

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:46.160
<v Speaker 2>move Willy to the flat where Tua pumps that way

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 2>and then attacks the window that gets created from his

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 2>vacancy there. But Willy is able to put his foot

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 2>in the ground, flip his hip, get back vertical into

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the passing lane and prevent another to a Chan completion

0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 2>early in practice. Quick aside here h Chan and Wattle

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.440
<v Speaker 2>eight again today a Chan. If you removed the number

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:06.639
<v Speaker 2>off his jersey and the name on the back, I

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.879
<v Speaker 2>would say, who's that receiver oute there that's looking like

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 2>the best player on the damn team. He looks that

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 2>good as a receiver, like running routes and just smooth

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 2>out of breaks, the way he catches the ball and

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 2>doesn't fight it with his hands. I've just been loving

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 2>what I'm seeing from him every single day. And we

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 2>talked about the elevation on the touchdown catch yesterday, the

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.360
<v Speaker 2>way I saw him snatch throws directly over the ball

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:29.399
<v Speaker 2>in traffic over the middle of the field. Today, I

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:34.360
<v Speaker 2>think twenty eight is the biggest problem for defenses that

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.120
<v Speaker 2>we've seen, you know, in three years from his own perspective,

0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 2>and this is a guy that has twenty five hundred

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:42.160
<v Speaker 2>scrimmage yards in twenty eight career games like it's rare production,

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.240
<v Speaker 2>and to me, what I'm seeing right now in June

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 2>looks like the best version of himself. And then with Wattle,

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.640
<v Speaker 2>cut and paste it from every other day. There are

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.719
<v Speaker 2>so many plays where the other nine guys on the

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 2>field it just doesn't matter. And what I mean by

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 2>that is that Tua and Waddle are so on the

0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 2>same page, and the ball is out so fast the

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 2>other routes the pass protection, it's irrelevant because even if

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 2>you beat your guy, the ball's already gone, doesn't matter.

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 2>That's trust from Tua that Waddle is going to be

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 2>exactly where he's supposed to be, and it's Waddle knowing

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 2>where Tua likes him to be and getting there on

0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 2>time every single time. I saw a completion today where

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:18.119
<v Speaker 2>waddal did the exact same thing I talked about for

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 2>months now. The outside leverage cornerback who's designed to take

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.679
<v Speaker 2>away the outbreaking route and he can take that inside

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 2>release and get back outside for the completion. It's all

0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:28.920
<v Speaker 2>over his tape. Saw it again today in practice. It's

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 2>so impressive and such an underrated aspect of Wattle's game.

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 2>He also caught a quick hitter over the middle where

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the ball was on top of his helmet, and he

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 2>snatched that thing clean, got the ball back down to

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 2>protect himself. Not going to take a hit in practice,

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.440
<v Speaker 2>but practice how you play right. Another great practice from him,

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.160
<v Speaker 2>and he and Tua connected a whole bunch today. Tua

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 2>did have a pick today, the first one we've seen

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 2>so far in spring ball. I think he must have

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.119
<v Speaker 2>expected the route depth to be further than it was

0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 2>because he overthrew the thing by a lot and we

0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:58.600
<v Speaker 2>just never ever see that from QB one. I'm speculating there,

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.439
<v Speaker 2>But Dante Trader is the officiary of this. He reels

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 2>this pick in and yeah, I'm telling you this because

0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:06.919
<v Speaker 2>these dudes run to the football, it's non negotiable. And

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Trader is often the guy on the scene there back

0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 2>to the linebackers and Willie so he has that coverage,

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, feel and flip the hips and run down

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 2>the field rep on a cham where I'm like, all right,

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 2>that'll freaking play from a linebacker. Then they throw this

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 2>quick hitter to Azukama and Willy at this point is

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 2>just gliding along the tips of the blades of grass

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 2>and he's there in Azu Kama's face the minute the

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:30.680
<v Speaker 2>ball is caught, and if we are live, it would

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 2>have been a collision that would have made highlights.

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:34.159
<v Speaker 1>He caps it.

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Willy does by having a similar rep to the earlier

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 2>coverage rep where he camped in the curl flat again,

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 2>then flashes back inside to the hook zone and picks

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 2>off as Zach Wilson pass and takes it back for six.

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I am a huge fan of Willy's game, and we

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.439
<v Speaker 2>saw that today. Jordan Brooks had a rep where he

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:53.680
<v Speaker 2>matched a thirty yard vertical route from tanner' connor and

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Tanner began to pull away because he's just a faster player.

0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 2>That's most you know, athletic tight ends are faster than linebackers.

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 2>But the quarterback had to get off that read because

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Brooks was in good coverage for too long. So that's

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.439
<v Speaker 2>a big time win there for a linebacker who can

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>also come downhill and impact your run game of blitz

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:12.400
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback. That's a three down player and a star

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:14.880
<v Speaker 2>linebacker that you have there. He also had a play

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 2>where he came from the backside and then wrapped the

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.399
<v Speaker 2>playside edge for a run stuff. He looks ready to

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 2>rock and roll right now. Tyrell Dotson had an excellent

0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 2>chase and tackle or a tag off we're not hitting

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.399
<v Speaker 2>in practice late in the day. And kJ Britt had

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 2>one of those reps we saw on his Tampa tape

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.719
<v Speaker 2>where he read his keys, fired his gun and just

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 2>beat everybody off the snap to get into the backfield

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.359
<v Speaker 2>for a tackle for lost. Those linebackers, man, they are impressive.

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 2>And speaking of linebackers of the outside variety, we had

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Bradley Chubb and Jaln Phillips available for media and Bradley

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Chubb in the Orange Jersey, and I just want to

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 2>play some soundbites from these guys because they're just so

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 2>their introspective like knowledge of where they've been and I

0:23:56.280 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 2>suppose outlook on life. You know, for one guy that's

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 2>what eight years younger than me, however old Bradley is,

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 2>or and Jalen who's like fifteen years younger than me,

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.119
<v Speaker 2>like I learned from these guys because they're wise beyond

0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:10.880
<v Speaker 2>their years. I want to go ahead and just play

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:12.960
<v Speaker 2>some sound here from Jalen Phillips when I asked him,

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're so good at finding silver linings, and

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 2>these last two years must have been so tough on you,

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Like what was the silver lining for you in these

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 2>last two years? And I just love the way his

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 2>brain works. Let's go ahead and throw it to JP.

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.879
<v Speaker 5>It's like helped me kind of like recenter myself as

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 5>a person, spend more time developing certain relationships that normally

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:34.960
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't have been able to if I was still

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 5>playing during that time. And just in general, it's just

0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 5>like another good reminder that even when you think you've

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:43.400
<v Speaker 5>overcome adversity, something's always going to come. So if anything

0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 5>is just very humbling, very sobering, and so, you know,

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 5>I think overall, I think with the Achilles, there's a

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.400
<v Speaker 5>lot other different silver linings. You know, I was able

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 5>to graduate different things like that. I mean even with

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 5>the ACL, I was able to do a fellowship for

0:24:56.280 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 5>profit and community, was interning for real estate company, so

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 5>doing some different things, allowing myself to kind of expare

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 5>myself outside of the field. But yeah, I mean silver

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:09.639
<v Speaker 5>lining is in general, like I'm gonna be fine, Like

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 5>it's not really anything long term that's gonna bother me.

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 5>So it hasn't been that bad, to be honest.

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's actually go ahead and go to McDaniel here, who

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:20.560
<v Speaker 2>spoke about this before practice, about you know, the injury

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:23.040
<v Speaker 2>rateing football is one hundred percent. How everyone's gonna have to,

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:26.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, face it at some point, but how the

0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:30.679
<v Speaker 2>mental toughness to not think about something you can't control,

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 2>right the uncontrollables. It's incumbent upon the player to be

0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:37.119
<v Speaker 2>able to harness that mindset and execute it. And he

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.720
<v Speaker 2>was saying, Jalen Phillips is really the guy that you

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 2>can do that the best. Let's go ahead and throw

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:42.160
<v Speaker 2>to coach McDaniel right here.

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 6>If you can't control injuries, you have to be disciplined

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 6>enough not to think about it and think about your

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:53.919
<v Speaker 6>technique and fundamentals. Very very adept, very we have the

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.680
<v Speaker 6>appropriate person for that challenge in Jalen Phillips.

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Jillen did discuss a little bit about some of his

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 2>football training he's working on in trying to get a

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:03.200
<v Speaker 2>couple of things tightened up, but wasn't going to divulge

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.880
<v Speaker 2>too much of his secrets in that media available. Let's

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and finish up here on this side with

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Bradley Chubb, who spokes in the media, and I don't

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:11.560
<v Speaker 2>really have a lot I want to play from Bradley here.

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 2>He was in the Orange Jersey today, so that kind

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:15.680
<v Speaker 2>of tells you about the spring he's had and how

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:17.360
<v Speaker 2>excited he's to get back on the field the team

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:18.680
<v Speaker 2>is to have him back. So I wanted to play

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 2>this SoundBite because we heard coach talk about it on

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday morning about like the way he sets a tone

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 2>and basically like, hey, if you're gonna come out here

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 2>and be like, oh practice, Like look at Bradley Chubb

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:30.879
<v Speaker 2>who just had to miss a whole year worth of

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:33.240
<v Speaker 2>practice and he's itching to get back out there. Here's

0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Bradley Chubb and how pumpedy is we back on the

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 2>field and the meaning it is it has for him.

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:39.679
<v Speaker 7>Like going through OTA's and like being on side of

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 7>during OTA's is two totally different things, you know what

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 7>I mean? When you actually putting in their blood, sweat

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 7>and tears with the guys, like that's how you bond,

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:47.719
<v Speaker 7>that's how you connect. So like sitting back last year,

0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 7>I could try to lead from the back, but it

0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:51.359
<v Speaker 7>just wasn't It just wasn't the same. And you know,

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:53.159
<v Speaker 7>just being able to be out here running around and

0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:55.399
<v Speaker 7>like physically getting up on guys, dapping them up like,

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:56.880
<v Speaker 7>good job. I'm about to go do the same thing

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 7>like that. That just brings a different energy, a different tone.

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 7>And that's what I try to do this year, man,

0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:04.679
<v Speaker 7>this whole offseason. Just let guys know that this is

0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:06.480
<v Speaker 7>not promised, you know what I mean, and each and

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 7>every day you got to earn it. God is fortunate

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 7>enough to put us in this position, man, so we

0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 7>just got to take advantage of it.

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Let's take a break rate there, come back on the

0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 2>other side of financial hope with some more practice notes,

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 2>some more soundbites. That's all next Draft Time podcast, brought

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:25.920
<v Speaker 2>to you by Autnation. Let's start with some practice notes

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:27.679
<v Speaker 2>here to kind of string us through the end of

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:31.359
<v Speaker 2>the episode. Here, I had some more offensive line notes

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:32.480
<v Speaker 2>than I previously had.

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought.

0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Jonah savit Naya was flat out awesome today. He was

0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 2>washing down the front side of the offense or the

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 2>backside of the defensive line, getting some push in the

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 2>front side. The quarterbacks had really clean pockets on some

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:46.440
<v Speaker 2>pass play stuff where they were able to survey deep

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and decide to either take those shots or not throw

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:52.480
<v Speaker 2>it and get to their checkdowns, which you have to

0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>have time to execute an offense that can work top

0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:57.119
<v Speaker 2>down like that. But he also had a couple of

0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 2>runs where he where Jonah and or rather with the offense,

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.680
<v Speaker 2>had some runs where Jonah and Pat were driving the

0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 2>driving force of opening lanes and Jalen Wright continues to

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:09.760
<v Speaker 2>find those cutback lanes. I love when he runs to

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 2>one direction and then presses the backside and has that

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 2>jump cut that springs him through, like on this particular

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:17.479
<v Speaker 2>run with Jonah and Pat washed down that backside and

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 2>puts Jalen in a one on one position against the

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 2>safety twenty yards downfield to decide whether or not it's

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 2>going to be a twenty yard run or a fifty

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:25.480
<v Speaker 2>yard touchdown.

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought, speaking of Patrick.

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Paul, he's been getting these battles against all these you know,

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:32.880
<v Speaker 2>edge guys we can throw at him every single day,

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 2>and there's lots of wins, and there's some wins from

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:36.159
<v Speaker 2>the defensive guys there as well.

0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought.

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:38.840
<v Speaker 2>He and Grays and Murphy had a really fun battle

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 2>to watch. He and Chop Robinson had some good battles.

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Chop did get him for one sack, I had Grayson

0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 2>beating him for a run stuff, but otherwise Patrick got

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 2>his wins, and especially in that run game, as well

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:51.400
<v Speaker 2>as setting those pockets for two in the quarterbacks on

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 2>those deep shots they were taking in practice. But he's

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 2>he's been you know, Chopping and Grayson have been winning

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:58.160
<v Speaker 2>every single day. So for him to go up against

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 2>those guys and score his wins, I thought that was

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 2>really impressive. I think Larry Boram had a really nice week.

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 2>H Chan found some room off his side and he's

0:29:05.960 --> 0:29:08.040
<v Speaker 2>able to seal that forced defender around the edge.

0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 1>And just a couple of quick pace notes here.

0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Cam Good had a nice run stuff beating Jalen Conyers,

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 2>the rookie tight end, going up against Alie Gordon the

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:19.480
<v Speaker 2>running back. Bj Adams had another great jam get back

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 2>into phase, pin to the sideline. Can test the catch

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.200
<v Speaker 2>rep this one on theoise. Those guys have been going

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:27.280
<v Speaker 2>all camp long so far. Zeke Bigger had a swim

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 2>move that got him into the backfield for a tag

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 2>off on Alexander Madison. Artie Burns for the second straight

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 2>day has a really impressive work rerouting. He got to

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.479
<v Speaker 2>this little flare on the outside to a running back

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and made out a tight window and the ball went

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 2>incomplete as a result, Elijah Campbell, And this is kind

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 2>of a general safety's note, but just watching the way

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 2>these safeties can kind of creep down and get themselves

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:51.480
<v Speaker 2>into positions where I don't know if the quarterbacks aren't

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 2>seeing them, and that's part of the design of the defense.

0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 2>But he just continues to find his way. All these

0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:03.520
<v Speaker 2>guys mc morris, Campbell, ify Trader, these guys keep finding

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 2>their ways to impact throws over the middle of the field.

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:08.680
<v Speaker 2>It kind of reminds me of how the Texans played

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 2>us last year with bringing those safeties and you know,

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 2>challenging some of those middle of the field throws and

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 2>really forcing offenses to say, hey, if you don't have

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 2>the time to get vertical on us, which we just

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:20.640
<v Speaker 2>had a whole segment about how the concept of this

0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 2>pass rush and aggressive band coverage can force the issue

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:25.440
<v Speaker 2>on that and utilize your safeties to come down and

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 2>be the enforcers in that second level. And I saw

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Elijah Campbell do that for closing down on a swing

0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 2>route for nothing. These safeties have consistently been in position

0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 2>against those passes in the middle of the field, and

0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 2>it really encourages me for what's to come this season.

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 2>What else we got here. Let's play some more audio

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 2>to close things up here about thirty one minutes into

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:44.959
<v Speaker 2>the podcast so far, y'all, I want to play two

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:48.160
<v Speaker 2>sound bites here from coach McDaniel. One on Nick Westbrook Akine.

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 2>But first let's go ahead and play this SoundBite on

0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Kenneth Grant.

0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Here's coach, but.

0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:54.320
<v Speaker 6>Early on, I could tell he had the respect and

0:30:54.360 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 6>regard of as of veteran teammates by the little things

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:04.200
<v Speaker 6>that he does, understanding the importance of his role on

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:08.959
<v Speaker 6>the team. He came in with a veteran like understanding

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 6>of needing to be one hundred percent on what he's

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 6>asked to do, his technique in fundamentals, and he works endlessly,

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:23.240
<v Speaker 6>So you're you're hitting a home run with the team

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.880
<v Speaker 6>when a first round draft pick comes in with that mindset,

0:31:26.960 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 6>So we can work with that, and veterans know you

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 6>can count on that.

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.239
<v Speaker 2>To conclude here, a bit of a carry over from

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 2>the Tuesday podcast talking about Nick Westbrook, a KINE coach,

0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 2>was asked about NWY before practice on Wednesday.

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Here's coach. One more time, I've seen a guy that.

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 6>Has already found a really cool role within the team

0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:53.800
<v Speaker 6>and that this is a dog competitor that brings it

0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 6>each and every day. You've also seen him express some

0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:03.400
<v Speaker 6>mental fortitude as he's you know, working working with a

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:09.080
<v Speaker 6>new team and also managing some stuff that doesn't keep

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 6>He was wasn't on the field every day, which ended

0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:19.760
<v Speaker 6>up being something that was obvious to everybody around that

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 6>this dude is locked in because he gains in his game,

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 6>you know, while managing an injury and being on the

0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 6>field and then being off, and then somebody on the

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 6>day he's off makes a mistake and he he uh

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 6>utilizes their mistake and applies it to his game and

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:41.600
<v Speaker 6>does it correctly. So those types of things. His growth

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 6>at his line of scrimmage game has been super encouraging

0:32:47.280 --> 0:32:50.400
<v Speaker 6>from from our camp and uh, you know, just really

0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:56.040
<v Speaker 6>uh finding a guy that I think the core of

0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:59.600
<v Speaker 6>the room can depend on that is really going after

0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 6>it and the appropriate fashion invaluable to the team and

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 6>to the young guys and how to be a professional

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:06.640
<v Speaker 6>football and make a living in this.

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Man, I'm sure I'm excited about the prospect of Nick Westbrook,

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:14.680
<v Speaker 2>a Kine and second year Malik Washington in that receiver's room,

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 2>pushing Reek and waddle and just giving us a really deep,

0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:19.959
<v Speaker 2>well rounded room of complimentary skills.

0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 5>There.

0:33:20.200 --> 0:33:22.520
<v Speaker 2>So there you go. In the meantime, that's going to
