01:29.735 --> 01:31.176

01:31.196 --> 01:32.857
[SPEAKER_02]: We've had some time off here in the offseason.
01:32.877 --> 01:35.458
[SPEAKER_02]: I know we've had some personal things going on.
01:35.878 --> 01:40.761

02:14.860 --> 02:19.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Guys, if you ever have kids, just know you're not going to get any sleep early on.
02:19.384 --> 02:20.585
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just how it is.
02:20.685 --> 02:23.648
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how it is, but it's how it works.
02:23.788 --> 02:26.331
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, it's definitely worth it, man.
02:26.831 --> 02:33.558
[SPEAKER_02]: I might my factory's closed a long time ago, but I'll hopefully soon I'll be a grandpa and I'll experience all this again because I miss it.
02:34.138 --> 02:37.861
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, not to get to, you know, too far away from the football thing.
02:37.881 --> 02:45.628
[SPEAKER_02]: So look, we got campus coming up and I really wanted to talk to you guys about some of these important camp battles.
02:45.688 --> 02:46.909
[SPEAKER_02]: I know we've had some additions.
02:46.949 --> 02:56.136
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't, I'm not going to go over them because I'm sure as connected, Dolphin fans and you guys are, we've had some drafty, some new guys that we signed, some departures.
02:56.877 --> 03:12.850
[SPEAKER_02]: We in June you kind of like want to go through a quick rundown of some of the most important camp battles that are going to go on in twenty twenty five to hopefully get this team back on the on the winning tracks junior what do you want to tack first what what what group what room do you want to tack first.
03:13.090 --> 03:16.674
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, as far as campus, I want to get this out the way.
03:16.894 --> 03:20.278
[SPEAKER_01]: First and foremost, there's no camp battle for offensive line.
03:20.658 --> 03:23.481
[SPEAKER_01]: I think at this point, we kind of know who is the starting five.
03:23.881 --> 03:32.771
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a matter of where James Daniels will be lined up as in Jonah, Savahi Naya, where will he line up?
03:32.831 --> 03:33.952
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are the two questions.
03:33.972 --> 03:35.734
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are the two guys we have questions about.
03:36.094 --> 03:37.195
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll want to be at the right.
03:37.236 --> 03:38.137
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to be at the left.
03:38.517 --> 03:39.338
[SPEAKER_01]: How will that mesh?
03:39.679 --> 03:41.120
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's just dead that right now.
03:41.301 --> 03:48.169
[SPEAKER_01]: When you talk about no online, what's interesting to me that I'm going to be looking at is the quarterback position.
03:48.510 --> 03:52.795
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, we still need to sign a quarterback, a veteran quarterback.
03:53.092 --> 03:56.294
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's plenty out there where I'm sure we'll get to that later in the show.
03:56.674 --> 04:03.378
[SPEAKER_01]: But who will be, once we get that signing, that signing, who will be the opposite corner back, corner back to?
04:03.658 --> 04:16.785
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's where I want to kind of put my focus on, you got Cam Smith, you got Stormduck, Tator Kogo, which some do not like of there has some experience and he did kind of
04:17.185 --> 04:22.408
[SPEAKER_01]: finished the season strong last year at corner back at the boundary corner back, but we don't want him full time.
04:22.688 --> 04:25.009
[SPEAKER_01]: Will they trust put trust in him there?
04:25.269 --> 04:29.972
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm interested to see from that position, corner back to who will that be?
04:30.992 --> 04:34.814
[SPEAKER_01]: On drafted in Adams, will he take the rings?
04:34.874 --> 04:42.999
[SPEAKER_01]: I like his aggressive and he's small, skinny guy, but he has a ton of experience as a man coverage corner back.
04:43.439 --> 04:50.585
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm interested to see if he can shine and be that guy that we need to get this team going.
04:50.765 --> 04:51.165
[SPEAKER_01]: What about you?
04:51.205 --> 04:51.626
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think?
04:51.846 --> 05:05.096
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, it's, it's, my focus really was not so much, I mean, obviously the, the elephant in the room is the lack of veteran players or experience in the corner back room, right?
05:05.777 --> 05:12.382
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but I have a philosophy and we've talked about this earlier and I know we've talked about it at depth behind the scenes is
05:12.562 --> 05:24.169
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, you need, you want to have that veteran leadership in the room, but if man, if that pass rush can come through, that's going to kind of help damper the lack of experience that this room has.
05:24.550 --> 05:34.356
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, there's going to be times where the defensive line is not going to get there, corners are going to have to do the job and try to stick their assignment a little longer, but man,
05:34.756 --> 05:35.497
[SPEAKER_02]: with J.P.
05:35.537 --> 05:52.790
[SPEAKER_02]: coming back healthy Bradley Chub missed all of last year he's going to come back a brand new man the emergence of chop Robinson man last year he balled out he started off slow but man once that kid got he got into a group he was really he was one of more dominant past pressures in the league and obviously we have other guys you have
05:54.507 --> 05:58.110
[SPEAKER_02]: Clinton Bell, you got Grayson Murphy, which I know you want to talk about.
05:58.890 --> 06:04.995
[SPEAKER_02]: His likely emergence, I mean, he was, he was, he was talked about last year, and then he got hit with an injury.
06:05.075 --> 06:13.781
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think that, you know, all these things kind of mesh together, there's a balance that, that the past rush and the defensive backs have to have.
06:14.122 --> 06:16.203
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm curious to see how that's going to work out.
06:17.885 --> 06:20.627
[SPEAKER_02]: I suspect that often will sign somebody who it'll be.
06:20.647 --> 06:21.388
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
06:21.408 --> 06:24.130
[SPEAKER_02]: I know you have a list there of some people who are still out there.
06:24.331 --> 06:25.111
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, man, for sure.
06:25.371 --> 06:37.282
[SPEAKER_01]: And I want to think I will know that with this style of defense, if you look back at the Ravens, their cornerback boundary position, typically wasn't all that.
06:38.373 --> 06:39.114
[SPEAKER_01]: name worthy.
06:39.434 --> 06:45.338
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was mainly the linebackers safety in that D line that really holds strong.
06:45.418 --> 06:51.442
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm curious to see how they will approach it because everybody's going to have a responsibility.
06:51.782 --> 06:52.843
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's going to be covered.
06:53.103 --> 07:03.290
[SPEAKER_01]: And especially with a young guy in the opposite side, you're going to probably blanket them a little more just so until they feel comfortable in the assignments and all that stuff.
07:03.330 --> 07:06.573
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going to be more a assignment base.
07:07.394 --> 07:11.906
[SPEAKER_01]: type of approach early on and see how it goes.
07:12.146 --> 07:15.354
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, that corner back position corner back to is going to be very interesting.
07:16.480 --> 07:40.931
[SPEAKER_01]: My my question is what if they don't end up signing because you're a corn a cornback because now you're gonna have you're gonna force yourself to stick to stick with the storm duck already burns is the it looks like the second veteran on this roster at a looks like he's thirty years old six six feet one eighty seven from Miami he's the second
07:42.051 --> 07:58.536
[SPEAKER_01]: better in quarterback there corner back there so available and I don't know if we trust him to be that number one guy so it's a likely cater co-host which I mentioned earlier not the guy you want to put out there a ton at the corner outside boundary corner back so if they don't
07:59.365 --> 08:01.088
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to have to rely on them.
08:01.349 --> 08:08.660
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's where, like you said, the defense of the line, the linebacker past pressure, which I want to talk to now, great segue.
08:09.100 --> 08:12.686
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are the guys that we need to be on par.
08:12.846 --> 08:13.667
[SPEAKER_01]: They need to be healthy.
08:14.368 --> 08:16.551
[SPEAKER_01]: and they need to be ready to rock and roll.
08:16.891 --> 08:26.982
[SPEAKER_01]: So in your opinion, I look at the, not the top three, but the four or five, the guys behind Philip, the guys behind, uh, chopping and chub.
08:27.322 --> 08:33.669
[SPEAKER_01]: Who in your mind are you looking at to kind of beat, to litify that, that, that, that spot to be the dead piece?
08:34.690 --> 08:51.260
[SPEAKER_02]: one of the two of the guys actually Quintable obviously he came back and and resigned you have a grace and Murphy like I said earlier he he made some noise last training camp got unfortunately got hurt he in early on in the OTAs was also you know he was mentioned a couple times that I picked up
08:52.120 --> 09:07.276
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so we'll see how that turns out, you know, there's always this thing, you know, for years and years, years that I've been watching the team, there's always these guys who who blow up in training camp and, you know, I could back in the day, you had Charles Jordan's, they were, oh, man, this guy is a great receiver, and then
09:08.337 --> 09:09.919
[SPEAKER_02]: after preseason, they're just gone.
09:09.959 --> 09:13.863
[SPEAKER_02]: They never get any PT to just weren't, you know, it was, it was a facade, right?
09:13.943 --> 09:17.527
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully that's not the case with Grayson Murphy.
09:17.587 --> 09:21.190
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, we have came good, but he's more expected probably to go back in the practice squad.
09:22.492 --> 09:28.458
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that hopefully we can get another solid year, not so much from the edges, but from the interior defensive line.
09:29.078 --> 09:34.963
[SPEAKER_02]: If we can continue to get the type of production from sealer that we've gotten, that's going to help a lot.
09:35.023 --> 09:36.784
[SPEAKER_02]: Having pressure up the middle is going to be great.
09:37.124 --> 09:44.229
[SPEAKER_02]: And then let's see, let's see what KG, Kenny G, can his grant first round pick at a twenty twenty five draft.
09:44.570 --> 09:47.772
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see what he brings to the table because I think he's going to start right away.
09:48.092 --> 09:48.292
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
09:49.233 --> 10:04.421
[SPEAKER_02]: that's what i think and and and just jumping back a little bit to the cornerback situation we can't forget we got camp smith now i'm not personally counting on him you know of course you know my guy that and i i've seen so many times that i think history always dictates my the way i feel about certain things
10:05.281 --> 10:06.522
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's always hurt.
10:06.842 --> 10:14.328
[SPEAKER_02]: And even they actually, you know, Chris Greer make McDonald during the offseason press conferences called him out and said, it's time for him to step up.
10:14.668 --> 10:21.753
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and I know that we just saw some, you know, he was working with golden feet, you know, working on a scrap, which is a good, it's a good sign, man.
10:21.793 --> 10:23.034
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not sleeping on his laurels.
10:23.374 --> 10:25.556
[SPEAKER_02]: He's getting his work in, that's what it's all about.
10:25.897 --> 10:27.038
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what separates you, right?
10:27.438 --> 10:38.468
[SPEAKER_02]: Because one thing is you go to training camp and have all these practices, but the extra work that you put it on your own when everybody else is chilling or on vacation, that's what ends up defining who you are as a player.
10:38.809 --> 10:44.995
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's see how that translates and if he can stay healthy in training camp this year, so we'll see.
10:45.475 --> 10:47.697
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, not not to get too far off the defensive line.
10:47.737 --> 10:50.739
[SPEAKER_02]: Those are two guys that I think obviously Benito Jones has been into Jones.
10:50.779 --> 10:52.281
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to use a space eater.
10:52.301 --> 10:59.146
[SPEAKER_02]: And also, I'm looking forward to Jordan Phillips and see if, you know, if Bigger's can get any burn.
10:59.246 --> 11:00.427
[SPEAKER_02]: Because a big dude, man.
11:00.667 --> 11:01.048
[SPEAKER_01]: That is.
11:01.488 --> 11:05.732
[SPEAKER_01]: He has a big camel from last year.
11:05.752 --> 11:07.533
[SPEAKER_01]: That's far as the size.
11:07.913 --> 11:10.556
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wish he was here because he would kind of learn from him.
11:11.516 --> 11:17.461
[SPEAKER_01]: as far as how to approach the game in with his body type and position, but you know, it is what it is.
11:17.901 --> 11:20.263
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not.
11:20.283 --> 11:22.264
[SPEAKER_02]: I made that point and I was, I got attacked.
11:23.345 --> 11:23.926
[SPEAKER_02]: I got attacked.
11:23.946 --> 11:25.967
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you know, it's true.
11:26.067 --> 11:27.208
[SPEAKER_02]: Collears Campbell.
11:27.288 --> 11:28.309
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't know.
11:28.329 --> 11:29.290
[SPEAKER_02]: He's no big deal.
11:29.330 --> 11:30.010
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, no, no.
11:30.030 --> 11:31.291
[SPEAKER_02]: There's value to that.
11:31.672 --> 11:31.952
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
11:32.012 --> 11:34.253
[SPEAKER_02]: But, hey, listen, I'm just the old guy.
11:34.274 --> 11:36.875
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just the old guy that, you know, there's no what he's talking about.
11:36.936 --> 11:37.316
[SPEAKER_02]: So, right.
11:38.617 --> 11:42.281
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say this with the linebacker position going back there a little bit.
11:42.622 --> 11:49.529
[SPEAKER_01]: Willy Gay is a guy to watch as far as a lining up as an outside linebacker.
11:49.870 --> 11:53.293
[SPEAKER_01]: He did that with KC and he did that with the same type of leave.
11:53.394 --> 11:55.436
[SPEAKER_01]: So he has some experience there.
11:55.796 --> 11:57.458
[SPEAKER_01]: He can pass the pressure up.
11:59.340 --> 11:59.860
[SPEAKER_01]: password.
12:00.721 --> 12:03.923
[SPEAKER_01]: He can't password and, you know, very solid in coverage.
12:04.163 --> 12:13.770
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm interested to see if data will count on humans that third, fourth option for depth at that outside linebacker position.
12:14.110 --> 12:16.352
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you, you, you, you're filling the guys.
12:16.712 --> 12:17.553
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe one or two.
12:17.993 --> 12:23.617
[SPEAKER_01]: So you guys have a lot of guys and Cameron good, I can mention Muhammad Kamera, a McClendin.
12:23.757 --> 12:27.179
[SPEAKER_01]: Those guys are essentially fighting for that one spot or two.
12:27.860 --> 12:28.380
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have it.
12:28.400 --> 12:33.644
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how much we had last year, but it's not as much decked.
12:34.044 --> 12:42.050
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the spots they're available for all those guys, especially some guys like Willigate, who can be flexible and not being an off-ball line barrier, but also
12:43.192 --> 12:44.295
[SPEAKER_01]: line up and line the screen.
12:44.315 --> 12:45.538
[SPEAKER_01]: So that'll be interesting.
12:45.878 --> 12:50.911
[SPEAKER_01]: Now as far as a detail, you're mentioning, yeah, bigus is a guy that's interesting.
12:51.071 --> 12:51.633
[SPEAKER_01]: I do see
12:53.718 --> 12:55.720
[SPEAKER_01]: This is from my prediction.
12:55.900 --> 13:04.185
[SPEAKER_01]: I do see Kenny G being the DT-II, and then you have your rotation guys in Benito and Jordan Phillips.
13:04.545 --> 13:12.511
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know how much they're gonna keep there, but I see that as the pecking order of what they're gonna do.
13:12.851 --> 13:14.352
[SPEAKER_01]: Biggers might be fine for a spot.
13:14.652 --> 13:18.074
[SPEAKER_01]: There's other guys here that are probably the fight for a spot as well.
13:19.035 --> 13:19.735
[SPEAKER_01]: Jay.
13:20.856 --> 13:21.497
[SPEAKER_01]: We go right here.
13:21.717 --> 13:22.578
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a bunch of guys.
13:23.118 --> 13:27.903
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I know we signed somebody else here too that there's a Alex Huntley.
13:28.843 --> 13:30.365
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a Matthew Butler.
13:30.805 --> 13:36.010
[SPEAKER_01]: Those guys are essentially fighting for a spot for that fifth.
13:36.350 --> 13:41.375
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, we'll see about that Ben still is a guy like, I don't know if he's going to be, you know.
13:41.775 --> 13:44.396
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have to ball out to really get that spot into.
13:44.436 --> 13:44.836
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no.
13:44.956 --> 13:49.757
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen, this is very, very similar to what we spoke about early, what the offensive line.
13:50.117 --> 13:52.497
[SPEAKER_02]: The interior defensive line is pretty much said.
13:52.557 --> 13:55.638
[SPEAKER_02]: We know, you know, big zacks going to be in the middle.
13:55.818 --> 13:58.739
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, that first wrong pick is going to get every single opportunity.
13:58.759 --> 14:01.319
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the kids gives it contrary to popular belief.
14:01.459 --> 14:02.340
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was a good pick.
14:02.660 --> 14:02.860
[SPEAKER_02]: But
14:05.275 --> 14:09.257
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see where the backup rules are going to develop on this team.
14:09.417 --> 14:22.165
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to jump back a little bit to the line-backer position because I know that I know on social media there was a lot of some criticism that I read about from a certain beatwriter his name will be withheld.
14:23.305 --> 14:28.787
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, saying that the linebacker group is not good or is not upgraded.
14:29.127 --> 14:31.848
[SPEAKER_02]: I vehemently disagree with his opinion.
14:32.208 --> 14:38.470
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that Jordan Brooks is worth every single pound and gold that he is a dog.
14:38.811 --> 14:39.151
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
14:39.331 --> 14:44.593
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that was some talk when when we had Jerome Baker and what what Brooks was going to bring to the team.
14:44.953 --> 14:47.073
[SPEAKER_02]: I personally think his first year here.
14:47.133 --> 14:50.675
[SPEAKER_02]: He superseded what Baker did at least in his waning year.
14:51.775 --> 14:54.596
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe not so much Baker's fall because I know they use them incorrectly.
14:54.936 --> 14:57.696
[SPEAKER_02]: Some would say, but I think Brooks is very good.
14:57.756 --> 15:00.177
[SPEAKER_02]: I think keeping Dodson was key, okay?
15:00.957 --> 15:04.418
[SPEAKER_02]: And obviously, you know, we know about the J.J.
15:04.438 --> 15:09.239
[SPEAKER_02]: Phillips and and and Bradley Chubb, but one of the guys that we didn't talk about was K.J.
15:09.279 --> 15:09.499
[SPEAKER_02]: Britt.
15:09.859 --> 15:13.720
[SPEAKER_02]: The guy he was in Tampa Bay, you know, he's not known as a run stuff or so.
15:14.160 --> 15:15.861
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that Willie Gay K.J.
15:15.881 --> 15:20.522
[SPEAKER_02]: Britt would you think, Junior, do you think that these guys are on upgrade?
15:21.613 --> 15:25.074
[SPEAKER_02]: over what we had last year in Anthony Walker and do griley.
15:25.254 --> 15:34.497
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, I wanted to resemble you that I think we all know who do what Riley was and we all felt like he was just not enough.
15:34.837 --> 15:37.878
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Willie gave replaces him and that's clearly enough.
15:38.259 --> 15:40.619
[SPEAKER_01]: And not only is that upgrade, he's flexible.
15:40.979 --> 15:42.680
[SPEAKER_01]: He can line up in the as like I mentioned.
15:42.720 --> 15:44.421
[SPEAKER_01]: He can he can essentially line up anywhere.
15:44.681 --> 15:46.781
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a better coverage line better.
15:47.161 --> 15:47.522
[SPEAKER_01]: A better
15:49.313 --> 15:52.254
[SPEAKER_01]: a linebacker in general as far as to nasty and tackling all that stuff.
15:52.574 --> 15:53.434
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an upgrade.
15:53.674 --> 16:01.276
[SPEAKER_01]: K. J. Britt and Anthony Walker, we can all agree are kind of the similar type of linebackers, the enforcers essentially, right?
16:01.676 --> 16:06.477
[SPEAKER_01]: Not much of a coverage linebacker, more so used for the run.
16:07.637 --> 16:10.618
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, I like Anthony Walker.
16:10.958 --> 16:18.380
[SPEAKER_01]: He dealt with a lot of injuries, felt like he missed a lot of opportunities for himself to truly be a really good player.
16:18.800 --> 16:20.981
[SPEAKER_01]: I think K. J. Brick is a guy.
16:21.321 --> 16:22.921
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a upgrade over him.
16:23.281 --> 16:33.964
[SPEAKER_01]: Just just the intensity and what we're looking for as far as, you know, punching, punching, punching, running backs and any running ball, uh, in by carrying the rock in the mouth.
16:34.404 --> 16:34.944
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a tone.
16:35.004 --> 16:35.844
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a tone-setter.
16:35.944 --> 16:36.244
[SPEAKER_01]: I think.
16:36.644 --> 16:37.484
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's an upgrade.
16:37.845 --> 16:38.745
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, I, I,
16:40.085 --> 16:40.686
[SPEAKER_01]: I heard it.
16:41.046 --> 16:41.826
[SPEAKER_01]: I tried to read it.
16:41.967 --> 16:51.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't end up reading the article much respect to the to the author, but I just didn't agree initially with with the thought and I was like, you know what, I don't want to be pissed off.
16:51.614 --> 16:53.475
[SPEAKER_01]: It's already started training camp.
16:53.555 --> 16:54.296
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to read this.
16:54.656 --> 16:55.396
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I do.
16:55.657 --> 16:57.598
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm about to read it.
16:57.898 --> 17:00.040
[SPEAKER_01]: I heard it and I was like, Oh, no, no, thanks.
17:00.460 --> 17:00.660
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
17:01.201 --> 17:05.145
[SPEAKER_02]: So I want everybody to just pay attention here and listen closely to what I'm going to say.
17:05.565 --> 17:08.008
[SPEAKER_02]: You notice how Junior went through his linebackers.
17:08.368 --> 17:11.311
[SPEAKER_02]: I mentioned my linebackers and we didn't mention Channing Tindle.
17:13.769 --> 17:14.049
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
17:14.409 --> 17:15.870
[SPEAKER_02]: What what what happens to him?
17:15.890 --> 17:23.912
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, obviously, I came Brown and Ezekiel Vandenberg, or going to be fighting basically for, you know, special teams or or a practice squad spot.
17:24.333 --> 17:26.593
[SPEAKER_02]: So what is going to happen with Channing Tindle?
17:26.933 --> 17:27.714
[SPEAKER_02]: Is he on the bubble?
17:27.814 --> 17:28.734
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's on the bubble.
17:29.154 --> 17:38.617
[SPEAKER_01]: It's interesting because last year we had Brooks, Anthony Walker, dot sin, Channing Tindle, and who was the fifth one?
17:40.498 --> 17:40.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
17:40.738 --> 17:48.622
[SPEAKER_01]: So now you have Brooks, you have dots in, you have Willie Gay and you have KJ break, right?
17:48.982 --> 18:00.587
[SPEAKER_01]: So that fourth arch that fourth, that fifth person, do cry, um, the Duke Riley rule, I will say, you're, you have, uh, where quit and maybe not quit and be able, uh,
18:01.027 --> 18:13.531
[SPEAKER_01]: Dequan Jackson, well, Channing, Tindou, Joe, Cardone, there's another linebacker we acquired, untrafted, who's to say he's not a guy that they take.
18:14.212 --> 18:15.412
[SPEAKER_01]: That shines.
18:15.752 --> 18:18.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Those guys are fighting for that last spot.
18:18.473 --> 18:21.354
[SPEAKER_01]: If we end up still keeping five off-ball linebackers.
18:21.714 --> 18:28.037
[SPEAKER_01]: And who's to say, some of the guys we mentioned the top four end up getting cut anyway, KJ break is likely to get cut.
18:28.397 --> 18:39.263
[SPEAKER_01]: If one of the young guys that kind of fit the mold, I'm trying to find his name here, but that linebacker that fits the mold that he does.
18:39.663 --> 18:45.346
[SPEAKER_01]: If he ends a Eugene asante, six one, two, twenty six, he's that type of guy.
18:45.426 --> 18:50.829
[SPEAKER_01]: If he ends up out shining KJ break, he can take his spot if you know, if that's the case, but
18:51.189 --> 18:58.594
[SPEAKER_01]: Essentially, he is, and I mean, I mean, Channing Tinto, he is fighting for a spot.
18:58.795 --> 18:59.735
[SPEAKER_01]: This is his last chance.
18:59.775 --> 19:01.476
[SPEAKER_01]: He's twenty-five, he's in his fourth year.
19:01.496 --> 19:03.878
[SPEAKER_01]: This is his last chance to make something.
19:04.178 --> 19:12.004
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's not fair to him because he dealt with so much change on defense, but now this is the second year he's in the same system.
19:12.184 --> 19:16.487
[SPEAKER_01]: You hear athletic, you're explosive, use that ability, showcase it.
19:17.047 --> 19:20.390
[SPEAKER_01]: He has to sort of appear and we'll see if that that's the case man.
19:20.450 --> 19:33.702
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know I think that's that's that's the the word on the street is that You know the in between the ears part might be the issue because obviously he's athletic we've seen what he can do you know from sideline and sideline the guys are beast, but I you know
19:34.493 --> 19:36.334
[SPEAKER_02]: something's not clicking maybe a click for the kid.
19:36.774 --> 19:37.194
[SPEAKER_02]: You never know.
19:37.214 --> 19:40.416
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this is, this is why there's, there's development right in the league.
19:40.776 --> 19:42.297
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's some players take longer than others.
19:42.337 --> 19:42.797
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see.
19:43.477 --> 19:51.621
[SPEAKER_01]: I really think they need to put him on the edge and limit his responsibility from their kind of like, what will he get?
19:51.941 --> 19:55.583
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, what the game went was advanced and he probably had more responsibility.
19:55.903 --> 20:01.246
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think Chaining Tindo is more at home where he's north and south.
20:02.566 --> 20:06.991
[SPEAKER_01]: and he's attacking the ball as opposed to covering, right?
20:07.031 --> 20:07.832
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just better that way.
20:07.972 --> 20:08.673
[SPEAKER_01]: To me, right?
20:08.993 --> 20:10.695
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't disagree with you.
20:10.755 --> 20:12.316
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know Wally's been a big, um...
20:13.626 --> 20:19.652
[SPEAKER_02]: a big proponent of that of just, you know, unleashing the kid putting him on the edge of the sudden rush, which I agree with as well.
20:19.692 --> 20:22.094
[SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to Wallyman and he's living life right now.
20:23.215 --> 20:23.855
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, man.
20:23.996 --> 20:24.316
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
20:24.756 --> 20:27.339
[SPEAKER_02]: So let me jump quickly to the safety position.
20:27.379 --> 20:32.503
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, his big acquisition, something that just came out of the blue was getting mink of his Patrick back.
20:33.164 --> 20:34.866
[SPEAKER_02]: which was wild to me.
20:35.106 --> 20:37.148
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't it got you it took you by surprise as well.
20:37.509 --> 20:45.458
[SPEAKER_02]: So we know that he's he's he's going to be likely you know we talked a little bit ago about this off camera probably the safety in the box.
20:46.138 --> 20:52.265
[SPEAKER_02]: So the job really the the other safety job is was up for for grabs and we got you know.
20:53.106 --> 20:54.809
[SPEAKER_02]: a couple of guys battling around him.
20:55.149 --> 20:56.971
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know how that's going to work out.
20:57.232 --> 20:57.713
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think?
20:57.873 --> 21:06.344
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I do think your top two is iffy and I do apologize and watching his name.
21:08.918 --> 21:14.605
[SPEAKER_01]: We know if they to melafond, I do apologize, Mr. Melafond.
21:15.486 --> 21:23.475
[SPEAKER_01]: If I'll call you if he, I think those two guys are the guys that are are likely your top to court on safeties.
21:24.156 --> 21:24.696
[SPEAKER_01]: If not,
21:26.459 --> 21:47.472
[SPEAKER_01]: or if barring any if injuries is a concern for if he possibly asked and Davis is the guy that's the second guy to to be the safety one safety two with minker so essentially those three if we're in a three safety look asked and Davis if he and and minker those are the guys that you know
21:47.832 --> 21:50.055
[SPEAKER_01]: I say are the likely guys enters or starters.
21:50.355 --> 21:56.202
[SPEAKER_01]: So those the question is, who are the guys that are backing up those three safeties, those top three safeties?
21:57.083 --> 21:59.887
[SPEAKER_01]: I like Dr. Trader Jr.
22:00.588 --> 22:02.810
[SPEAKER_01]: They requested to bring him here.
22:04.332 --> 22:05.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Weaver personally.
22:05.493 --> 22:28.856
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's saying something there's that saying that he he uh he sees something and when you kind of look at his some of the interviews he had you could you you can like you you like wow smart intelligent young man very humble Seems like he's gonna be mentally there not the best athlete his rest numbers are not good, but seems like his mental
22:29.496 --> 22:35.620
[SPEAKER_01]: approach to the game will help him be more reactive and use his skill set to the best of his ability.
22:36.000 --> 22:37.581
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I like the kid.
22:37.941 --> 22:40.383
[SPEAKER_01]: I always like Elijah Campbell.
22:40.931 --> 22:42.553
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but he is getting there up in age.
22:42.933 --> 22:44.454
[SPEAKER_01]: So what does that look like for him?
22:44.875 --> 22:51.120
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to, he's going to be fighting with me more, passionate and worse, who the team also liked to, but what's the situation with him?
22:51.480 --> 22:56.445
[SPEAKER_01]: They ended up getting a bunch of guys that could possibly take like take over him.
22:56.525 --> 22:59.888
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was going to be one of the primary, but it doesn't look that way.
23:00.268 --> 23:05.133
[SPEAKER_01]: So it is those guys that probably, you know, we got to see what happens.
23:05.473 --> 23:06.574
[SPEAKER_01]: They might be fighting for a spot.
23:06.774 --> 23:07.514
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree.
23:07.595 --> 23:14.659
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I know that I have a person like I like seeing more or so out there last year he flashed for sure.
23:16.652 --> 23:24.779
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to, as I usually do, I'm going to defer to the coaches, because especially weaver, weaver has gotten my, has earned my respect.
23:25.520 --> 23:32.726
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know that, I mean, that's not really saying anything, but at least personally what I've seen and what I've heard from the players, the guide knows what he's doing.
23:32.806 --> 23:38.491
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you get somebody who's actually being requested by your DC, there's something to be said there about that.
23:38.872 --> 23:43.115
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, the kid does have, you know, contrary to popular belief, football is,
23:43.976 --> 23:47.317
[SPEAKER_02]: a very mental sport as well as it is physical is not all physical.
23:47.637 --> 23:56.779
[SPEAKER_02]: So having that mental edge is definitely something that's good to have just ask somebody that used to play here number fifty four is in the Hall of Fame right now.
23:56.999 --> 24:00.540
[SPEAKER_02]: Very intelligent live-backer where but you might know him as a exact Thomas.
24:01.020 --> 24:01.721
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know maybe.
24:02.041 --> 24:05.282
[SPEAKER_02]: But he was definitely a guy a very psychological or psych, I'm not
24:07.022 --> 24:12.565
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, intelligent player and studied a lot of film and that helped them in his career because he was a shorter guy.
24:12.605 --> 24:17.907
[SPEAKER_02]: He wasn't very like the most athletic or, you know, get athletically gifted guy, but he was very intelligent.
24:17.927 --> 24:18.207
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
24:18.547 --> 24:19.108
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, man.
24:19.208 --> 24:25.671
[SPEAKER_01]: And, and that's how it is, especially guys who are illuminating and the, and the, and the tangibles, the
24:26.511 --> 24:30.352
[SPEAKER_01]: the speed, the exposure, they saw that, the height, all that weight stuff.
24:30.792 --> 24:37.034
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to compensate it with other ways to kind of get yourself in the NFL.
24:37.074 --> 24:48.938
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think Dr. Trader, if he does it right and impresses the coach mentally, he will use, I mean, he's not that bad physically, I think, it's just he had a bad, he had bad testing.
24:49.298 --> 24:55.100
[SPEAKER_01]: But you can see out there on the film, he's explosive, it's sensitive, he gets to the ball, he's a good attacker.
24:56.120 --> 25:00.483
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see how it goes in there, but I'm interested to see how they play the safety.
25:02.044 --> 25:05.786
[SPEAKER_01]: How they're going to run our safeties and who's going to be out there with make it.
25:06.146 --> 25:08.307
[SPEAKER_02]: Right right with make it very important one guy.
25:08.367 --> 25:09.388
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to jump back a little bit.
25:09.428 --> 25:15.491
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody we didn't mention is Marshall this Marshall kid from Florida as far as they defensive back he might he could be in the mix as well.
25:15.871 --> 25:16.932
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't know.
25:17.172 --> 25:22.897
[SPEAKER_02]: That quarterback position, that defensive back room on the boundary, the quarters is really up in the air.
25:22.917 --> 25:24.678
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't know how that's going to develop.
25:25.138 --> 25:26.519
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to keep keeping my eye on that.
25:26.760 --> 25:27.000
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:27.100 --> 25:27.640
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.
25:27.901 --> 25:28.161
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:28.401 --> 25:34.406
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm definitely a guy that can challenge possibly camps, med ducks stormed up.
25:34.446 --> 25:35.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Has the the tools?
25:36.047 --> 25:38.969
[SPEAKER_01]: Has that fight of the ability to expose them to speed the height?
25:40.510 --> 25:43.493
[SPEAKER_01]: Just what is it in between the years?
25:43.733 --> 25:44.193
[SPEAKER_01]: Can he
25:45.233 --> 25:49.074
[SPEAKER_01]: Can he be relied on and can he develop and grow?
25:49.455 --> 25:52.236
[SPEAKER_01]: Certainly it seems like the team likes him.
25:52.536 --> 25:53.516
[SPEAKER_01]: They like what he brings.
25:53.816 --> 25:55.497
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can't wait to see that in can't man.
25:55.517 --> 25:56.317
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to be exciting.
25:56.337 --> 25:57.478
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait to go to can't man.
25:57.758 --> 25:58.378
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited.
25:58.578 --> 26:02.119
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, yeah, and speaking to that, just make sure that you guys reach out to.
26:02.359 --> 26:05.240
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to be probably out there a good amount of time.
26:05.400 --> 26:09.342
[SPEAKER_02]: One of us or a couple of us are going to be out of camp and don't be shy.
26:09.382 --> 26:09.642
[SPEAKER_02]: Come up.
26:09.662 --> 26:11.823
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk ball and hang out and
26:12.643 --> 26:36.610
[SPEAKER_02]: and and see we can observe this team as as you know these things this team gets put together junior two other quickly for two other quick positions or rooms that I want to talk about uh first is a running back room yes uh that's going to be a very very interesting dynamic there obviously we know a chance at number one dog there um but the team went out and signed Alexander Madison um
26:38.531 --> 26:48.639
[SPEAKER_02]: to a deal and also drafted Ali Gordon to add to Jalen Wright and and Devon H and so that's going to be a dog fight man for that for that.
26:48.719 --> 26:50.281
[SPEAKER_02]: I think for that second or third role.
26:50.301 --> 26:52.182
[SPEAKER_02]: It's I don't know how that's going to shake out.
26:52.402 --> 26:57.366
[SPEAKER_01]: I would during a controversial take and says, I'll change not going to be the Army one.
26:57.706 --> 26:58.087
[SPEAKER_01]: Really?
26:58.107 --> 26:59.148
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
26:59.328 --> 27:00.269
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to put it out there.
27:00.469 --> 27:00.929
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
27:01.469 --> 27:05.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you're going to utilize them more in the passing game.
27:06.033 --> 27:19.137
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think you're looking at possibly Jalen Wright as your number one true number one RB and then if I will suits with the guys Madison or maybe Ali Gordon will take that RB too.
27:19.477 --> 27:23.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, he's technically the number one and he will get the primary carries.
27:24.019 --> 27:31.941
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think because his role is expanded, he won't see him get the the amount of touches that maybe we want to give
27:32.301 --> 27:35.963
[SPEAKER_01]: a typical normal running back, a bail cow type of running back.
27:36.303 --> 27:55.693
[SPEAKER_01]: I know this team is all about sharing the load as far as the running backs and carrying the ball usually it's like fifteen to twenty carriers for every guy, but if we're approaching this year differently as far as running more, running, having opportunities to run more, you kind of want to
27:56.295 --> 28:05.903
[SPEAKER_01]: You kind of want to maybe get guys like Jane and Ryan to carry the load while watching, hit some both in the running end passing game.
28:06.223 --> 28:10.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you're becoming a balanced offense that you don't know what is going on.
28:10.286 --> 28:18.652
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, man, I think I think possibly your RB one could be someone that we might not think is should be the RB one.
28:19.568 --> 28:31.879
[SPEAKER_01]: not, not because that they're better than our chain, but because our chain is going to be used in other roles in passing game, which, you know, that could limit his carries during the season.
28:32.039 --> 28:32.239
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
28:32.459 --> 28:38.705
[SPEAKER_02]: So in, so in your opinion, which one, I mean, do you think one of those four got, I mean, obviously, they're not going to cut the rookie.
28:39.025 --> 28:40.466
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not going to cut HN.
28:40.827 --> 28:43.709
[SPEAKER_02]: So I would think the odd man out if he does it, I mean, he,
28:44.570 --> 29:06.827
[SPEAKER_01]: I think all these got to shit a bit for or Jalen Wright shit a bit for Alexander Madison to make the team are barring any injury like I do think that I do think that they're they're counting in gold as a rhyming back so that you have your essentially for right there so it's either Madison is cut or Madison is here because someone got injured
29:07.247 --> 29:14.892
[SPEAKER_01]: So I essentially see them running a three true running back in one fallback, which makes the collective four.
29:15.172 --> 29:18.855
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you, you know, you ride the way with Ali and, um,
29:20.035 --> 29:23.937
[SPEAKER_01]: and Jaylon right to kind of be the workhorse for the running game.
29:24.217 --> 29:43.766
[SPEAKER_02]: And we know, I know that I know you know that I, that I've been pounding to table this for years, that you need to have a successful running attack to be able to keep the defense honest because we saw last year without having a decent running game that what defenses will do to take away the explosive part of your offense.
29:44.106 --> 29:45.587
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, John will Smith cash in on that.
29:46.047 --> 29:47.007
[SPEAKER_02]: if we're being real.
29:47.307 --> 29:51.309
[SPEAKER_02]: And I will segue to the Titan room in a minute, but that's why I brought up General Smith.
29:51.389 --> 29:59.031
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you can have a more than adequate running game, you cannot go too high safety all game.
29:59.151 --> 29:59.591
[SPEAKER_02]: You cannot.
29:59.771 --> 30:04.933
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no way because we'll just chew up clock and we'll chew chewing off yards left and right on the ground.
30:05.313 --> 30:17.162
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, if we're able to have the running game that I suspect that we'll have not only will that help, but it'll help to as far as his health and make him that much more dangerous with the play action pass.
30:17.402 --> 30:20.885
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so the key the key here is getting back.
30:22.113 --> 30:28.255
[SPEAKER_02]: a successful ground game that will open up everything else for Mike McDaniel in this office.
30:28.495 --> 30:28.855
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
30:29.135 --> 30:37.738
[SPEAKER_01]: And you see that they're trying to improve that running game to kind of open up the offerings because here's I had this argument with a lot of my a lot of the dolphins fans.
30:39.199 --> 30:41.220
[SPEAKER_01]: about what is this offense going to be?
30:41.300 --> 30:42.521
[SPEAKER_01]: What do they need to do?
30:42.881 --> 30:47.023
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the ultimate goal for this offense is to be a balanced offense.
30:47.343 --> 30:50.645
[SPEAKER_01]: Attach you both not only in the run game, but also in the past game.
30:50.985 --> 31:01.892
[SPEAKER_01]: But we've been, we had one good year where that kind of showed itself and you can see how it affected the defenses, but it still was lacking.
31:02.312 --> 31:03.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Now with the certain upgrades,
31:04.353 --> 31:08.355
[SPEAKER_01]: with some of the approaches in person now.
31:08.675 --> 31:16.279
[SPEAKER_01]: And now with this channel or Henley as the offensive assistant, particularly in the run game, he's just been elevated.
31:16.659 --> 31:19.160
[SPEAKER_01]: He's now the run part of the run game coordinator.
31:19.572 --> 31:25.135
[SPEAKER_01]: You can see that the team wants to improve and make this run game successful.
31:25.455 --> 31:37.902
[SPEAKER_01]: So when the time comes that we just need to run the ball or we need to force a team or dictate the team that a defense to do what we want to do so that we can make explosive plays.
31:38.262 --> 31:40.003
[SPEAKER_01]: It's important for that run game to improve.
31:40.403 --> 31:47.107
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, man, I think that it's important that we get this going and that's going to help our offense.
31:47.587 --> 31:50.728
[SPEAKER_01]: If you ain't running the rock man, look what a different for Bob Greasy.
31:50.788 --> 31:52.669
[SPEAKER_01]: I was talking about that with the co-worker.
31:53.089 --> 31:53.990
[SPEAKER_01]: What a different Bob Greasy.
31:54.230 --> 31:54.970
[SPEAKER_01]: Why am I super full?
31:55.310 --> 31:55.450
[SPEAKER_01]: What?
31:55.490 --> 31:56.110
[SPEAKER_01]: Two super roles?
31:56.390 --> 31:59.172
[SPEAKER_02]: And mind you remember, this is fifty years ago, right?
31:59.432 --> 32:05.094
[SPEAKER_02]: Notice, yes, the game has evolved, but the principles are the same as saying, run the rock and play defense.
32:05.354 --> 32:06.694
[SPEAKER_02]: Go back to your lineage, man.
32:07.055 --> 32:07.675
[SPEAKER_02]: Go back to it.
32:09.602 --> 32:10.543
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I agree with you.
32:10.643 --> 32:11.263
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree with you.
32:11.383 --> 32:25.793
[SPEAKER_02]: And what are the most frustrating things with, you know, I like interacting with people, but what are the most frustrating things with dealing with people on social media is that people get into their feelings and they start to not rationalize with what they're seeing right in front of them, right?
32:25.813 --> 32:28.715
[SPEAKER_02]: So yes, there was criticism of Mike McDaniel last year.
32:28.795 --> 32:30.316
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, why is he running so many screens?
32:30.657 --> 32:32.598
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we can't run to God damn yards.
32:32.838 --> 32:35.020
[SPEAKER_02]: So he has to be, has to be able to get creative.
32:35.840 --> 32:37.922
[SPEAKER_02]: a short screen passes three, four, five yards.
32:38.242 --> 32:39.884
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like running the rock.
32:40.244 --> 32:45.588
[SPEAKER_02]: So he tried to do that because obviously what we had in the trenches was not good enough.
32:46.249 --> 32:46.850
[SPEAKER_01]: Not good enough.
32:47.310 --> 32:48.591
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying to anybody out.
32:48.751 --> 32:50.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying, let's just wasn't good enough.
32:51.113 --> 32:51.674
[SPEAKER_01]: You know me.
32:52.034 --> 32:52.694
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not afraid.
32:52.714 --> 32:53.795
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
32:53.895 --> 32:54.456
[SPEAKER_01]: I can burger.
32:54.536 --> 32:57.879
[SPEAKER_01]: I will support one hundred percent as long as he's in his team.
32:58.239 --> 32:58.940
[SPEAKER_01]: You're my guy.
32:59.440 --> 33:00.461
[SPEAKER_01]: but you're not enough.
33:00.801 --> 33:03.463
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not enough for us to take it to the next step.
33:03.803 --> 33:10.928
[SPEAKER_01]: You had enough time enough reps, you know, games to kind of show yourself and you're just not a starter.
33:11.368 --> 33:20.495
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's okay, you know, you're a debt guy, you're a stock starter, you're a guy that if needed for one or two games, if it's more than five, then we're probably a trouble, but essentially.
33:22.456 --> 33:27.741
[SPEAKER_01]: One or two games to alleviate and get us a win and get out of here and let the guy rest up.
33:28.821 --> 33:38.870
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that I feel that we have on paper upgraded, those spots, you've include young guys in that RB room.
33:39.110 --> 33:42.653
[SPEAKER_01]: And only that you got bigger receivers.
33:43.650 --> 33:46.734
[SPEAKER_01]: to kind of help that blocks, right?
33:47.074 --> 33:49.117
[SPEAKER_01]: To help in that running game, that knows what they're doing.
33:49.397 --> 33:51.299
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the just recent,
33:53.846 --> 33:57.248
[SPEAKER_01]: promotion for Mr. Henley to offensive assistant.
33:57.608 --> 33:58.849
[SPEAKER_01]: I can see what you're doing.
33:58.949 --> 34:01.070
[SPEAKER_01]: You're trying to get back to that twenty twenty three.
34:01.710 --> 34:02.430
[SPEAKER_01]: Two point up.
34:02.570 --> 34:04.771
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, this year's let's get it, man.
34:05.032 --> 34:05.932
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to run that rock.
34:06.412 --> 34:06.752
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
34:06.813 --> 34:15.377
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen, a perfect segue into probably one of the last rooms that we know we should probably talk about is a tighter room and it's important to know
34:15.877 --> 34:33.543
[SPEAKER_02]: that there was a method to the madness, because I know there was this big uproar about not resigning Johnnell Smith or all we have to give him his money, look how made that, you know, even X players went out and like, we're critical, oh, they're not, you know, great, have a be a pro-border, not get paid and blah, blah, blah, blah, guys, that's not here anymore.
34:33.883 --> 34:34.724
[SPEAKER_02]: We all know who he is.
34:35.844 --> 34:43.547
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's a reason why they did that because they're going to change the basic way this offense runs.
34:45.286 --> 34:47.307
[SPEAKER_01]: You expound on that, please.
34:48.748 --> 34:52.771
[SPEAKER_01]: John knew Smith and what he did last year, which is extraordinary.
34:52.791 --> 34:55.754
[SPEAKER_01]: He got us to a point where we even though it wasn't enough.
34:55.834 --> 34:56.915
[SPEAKER_01]: He wanted us eight games.
34:57.075 --> 35:01.238
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a big factor in our eight game wins, but it wasn't supposed to look like that.
35:01.578 --> 35:02.039
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't.
35:03.354 --> 35:08.056
[SPEAKER_01]: John was a yak received a titan receiver, you know, he's going to get your place.
35:08.336 --> 35:15.118
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to, he's going to bounce off tacklers and he's going to get you the necessary yards to move the chains to get it going.
35:15.758 --> 35:22.881
[SPEAKER_01]: And because of the lack of running due to the lack of offense of line personnel, you we had to compensate.
35:22.981 --> 35:26.082
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the injuries didn't help with tire wreaking water.
35:26.442 --> 35:28.683
[SPEAKER_01]: You didn't have a weapon like that.
35:29.003 --> 35:32.705
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll change yes, he was there, but he was a running back.
35:32.925 --> 35:33.945
[SPEAKER_01]: He is a running back.
35:34.326 --> 35:35.526
[SPEAKER_01]: He can't do everything.
35:35.586 --> 35:40.148
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't overload him, especially if he doesn't have the support, but he does now.
35:40.348 --> 35:40.929
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
35:42.440 --> 35:50.871
[SPEAKER_01]: John who was that option, John who was a guy that they overload him, he took that and he was successful and he wanted to get paid.
35:51.152 --> 35:52.293
[SPEAKER_01]: But we didn't want to do that.
35:52.654 --> 35:58.782
[SPEAKER_01]: And now that you kind of want to, you kind of changed it up to where rather than having John be a flex,
35:59.603 --> 36:27.020
[SPEAKER_01]: slot big slot receiver getting actual receiver that's a big slot receiver that way you can't you don't have to be predictable in your offense John can't block he can't block well I should say let me let me not he can't block well so it makes you a predictable but if you have a receiver that can block better than John who in a Nick a warrior key name I think that's his name you're you're disguising on what you're doing and you're in your and you're
36:28.539 --> 36:31.161
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
36:31.241 --> 36:40.249
[SPEAKER_01]: It was necessary for them to kind of switch it up and get to more bigger body receivers that are known to are willing to block.
36:41.030 --> 36:43.933
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's going to help them help us also in the passing game.
36:44.273 --> 36:47.056
[SPEAKER_01]: So if we decide to, hey, we're going to play action you.
36:47.376 --> 36:50.158
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a big receiver who can catch at a radius.
36:52.322 --> 36:55.264
[SPEAKER_01]: a range, you know, it catch radius.
36:55.544 --> 36:55.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
36:56.284 --> 37:01.507
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's specific in the tight end, Darren Waller, you know, older player.
37:01.867 --> 37:03.328
[SPEAKER_01]: He retired last year.
37:04.909 --> 37:12.933
[SPEAKER_01]: He dealt with some injuries, but I think he's essentially the same as him as a, uh, John, but I will say he provides a more
37:14.142 --> 37:17.824
[SPEAKER_01]: a deeper route threat than John who I would say.
37:18.144 --> 37:21.365
[SPEAKER_01]: John was more of a young guy who can bounce off tacklers.
37:21.785 --> 37:25.287
[SPEAKER_01]: I think while there's a more route tree depth.
37:26.845 --> 37:28.966
[SPEAKER_01]: that he can present for us.
37:29.406 --> 37:31.047
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's essentially another big receiver.
37:31.427 --> 37:38.650
[SPEAKER_01]: But you kind of see the trend here, bigger by the receivers, you know, use them as a flex and then you know, take it from there.
37:38.710 --> 37:40.190
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was necessary.
37:40.410 --> 37:41.351
[SPEAKER_01]: It's unfortunate.
37:41.531 --> 37:42.691
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they would have won him here.
37:42.751 --> 37:46.753
[SPEAKER_01]: They just didn't want, there wasn't going to use him as often as they used him last year.
37:47.093 --> 37:54.015
[SPEAKER_01]: And he, he wanted to be, he wanted to pay it because he wanted to, you know, he wanted to get paid because what did he did?
37:54.295 --> 37:55.816
[SPEAKER_01]: And not what, what they were going to do.
37:57.084 --> 37:57.244
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
37:57.304 --> 38:03.230
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not being critical in that in terms of, you know, having a player get paid, listen, get your money.
38:03.530 --> 38:03.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
38:04.030 --> 38:12.738
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, but if you use a change in philosophy of how you're going to run the offense and the, the, the, the byproduct of the way defenses played us last year.
38:12.878 --> 38:13.158
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
38:13.339 --> 38:18.083
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll out Toronto to have those opportunities underneath to be able to make the plays.
38:18.123 --> 38:19.304
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just the fact now.
38:22.833 --> 38:24.215
[SPEAKER_02]: is he going to be missed?
38:24.275 --> 38:33.025
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a playmaker, but we'll see because we were successful in twenty twenty three when we had during his wife, which is no longer with the team.
38:33.305 --> 38:34.226
[SPEAKER_02]: Am I right?
38:34.807 --> 38:35.167
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
38:35.428 --> 38:36.489
[SPEAKER_02]: And right the second correct.
38:36.809 --> 38:38.531
[SPEAKER_02]: So you kind of have the same
38:39.492 --> 38:44.676
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not gonna say the same player, but the same characteristics, the right, the same type of player.
38:45.196 --> 38:50.200
[SPEAKER_02]: And also you have Farrow Brown, which is a guy that's a vet, a known run blocker.
38:50.461 --> 38:54.043
[SPEAKER_02]: And you still have, I know that he's much maligned, people guys don't like him.
38:54.223 --> 38:57.646
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the kid just, he's grinding and trying to get better in Julian Hill.
38:57.986 --> 39:01.329
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't blame the kid to be in, he got thrown into the fire and see what we got.
39:01.709 --> 39:04.952
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, they were times that he looked okay, they were times that he did not look okay.
39:05.312 --> 39:06.253
[SPEAKER_02]: But this is a project.
39:06.613 --> 39:08.815
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a discussion for another day.
39:09.615 --> 39:17.062
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a hope is I really want to see the UDFA.
39:17.122 --> 39:20.405
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I'm not counting on him, but the skill set that he has.
39:21.486 --> 39:22.667
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm talking about conures.
39:23.247 --> 39:24.989
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm curious to see how that's going to work.
39:25.910 --> 39:28.472
[SPEAKER_02]: He's basically fighting it out with Tanner Conner right now.
39:29.298 --> 39:35.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I mean, it's gonna depend on coach on how many Titans do they keep.
39:35.863 --> 39:43.069
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the guy is six, three, six, three, two, I'm sorry, six, four, two, sixty, five.
39:43.089 --> 39:49.334
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, God, he's much bigger than Julian Hill as six for two, fifty, one.
39:49.974 --> 39:58.781
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's gonna present, can he present something, showing something to the team to kind of maybe you get out of Darren Waller.
39:59.101 --> 40:02.623
[SPEAKER_01]: because that contract is not going to.
40:02.943 --> 40:05.225
[SPEAKER_01]: They might end up saying, hey, man, this is not going to work out.
40:06.245 --> 40:07.746
[SPEAKER_01]: We like the younger guy.
40:07.966 --> 40:09.427
[SPEAKER_01]: He's showing us something.
40:09.547 --> 40:09.907
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
40:10.228 --> 40:11.769
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
40:11.809 --> 40:12.929
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're flexible in that.
40:13.269 --> 40:16.671
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm interested to see how Kanye's approach is, Taylor's gone.
40:16.872 --> 40:17.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Taylor's gone around, man.
40:18.553 --> 40:19.013
[SPEAKER_01]: We tried.
40:19.353 --> 40:21.614
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's how my outlook is.
40:22.035 --> 40:23.956
[SPEAKER_01]: And Hayden rooses a guy that I'm interested in.
40:24.977 --> 40:27.119
[SPEAKER_01]: is he going to show out and possibly take a spot?
40:27.159 --> 40:28.841
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll type, I doubt.
40:28.981 --> 40:30.643
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know they like him as well.
40:30.723 --> 40:35.307
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see how that, that's another close battle with close to my heart.
40:36.289 --> 40:39.892
[SPEAKER_02]: I was a corner and a tight end and I always like watching the tight ends.
40:40.713 --> 40:43.736
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's a significant talent drop.
40:44.851 --> 40:47.612
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, in that room, but that doesn't mean that people can't get better.
40:47.812 --> 40:50.673
[SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't mean that people can't grind and and just do their job.
40:50.733 --> 40:52.133
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't have to be a superstar.
40:52.273 --> 40:53.694
[SPEAKER_02]: Not everybody's born a superstar.
40:53.714 --> 40:55.274
[SPEAKER_02]: You just have to be able to do your job.
40:55.434 --> 40:55.715
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
40:56.215 --> 41:02.537
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm for sure that that that's the that's the worst position in our team.
41:03.557 --> 41:18.254
[SPEAKER_01]: That with the personnel that we have, I say that's the worst positional roster in our team, but you never know, guys like you say, Colliniers, maybe Julian Hinn probably takes that next step, maybe they can show something.
41:18.694 --> 41:19.615
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, so we'll see.
41:19.815 --> 41:21.756
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so I'll side of that.
41:21.796 --> 41:23.957
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think the why does he room is set.
41:24.437 --> 41:26.178
[SPEAKER_02]: One through three, I think are pretty good.
41:26.198 --> 41:27.319
[SPEAKER_02]: I know Malik said be doing it.
41:27.379 --> 41:30.541
[SPEAKER_02]: Having a big push there to have some PTSD at number three.
41:31.341 --> 41:40.487
[SPEAKER_02]: We got Todd's Washington coming back to, you know, so, but, but, you know, Tyreek and Jalen and
41:42.097 --> 41:44.699
[SPEAKER_02]: Westbrook, a Q&A, that's one, two and three right there.
41:44.719 --> 41:45.939
[SPEAKER_02]: That's your top three, yeah.
41:46.140 --> 41:46.760
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, exactly.
41:46.880 --> 41:47.300
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
41:47.560 --> 41:54.905
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can even say Malik Washington, you know, as a three, a three, a four, yeah, agreed agreed.
41:55.646 --> 42:06.933
[SPEAKER_01]: You put, he positioned himself enough that he's going to get the necessary reps, snaps, and plays to kind of keep the chain moving, keep keep us keep us on schedule.
42:07.433 --> 42:11.277
[SPEAKER_01]: because that's what I felt like he was doing last year and he improved.
42:11.357 --> 42:18.404
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he got to a point where they let go, OBJ because they just love the growth of Malik Washington.
42:18.444 --> 42:21.967
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I see our top four receivers are set.
42:22.308 --> 42:25.151
[SPEAKER_01]: I am interested in the younger and draft of rookies.
42:25.511 --> 42:29.034
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like the two big guys, the deal weasts.
42:29.815 --> 42:33.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, junior six to two ten and then there's another kid.
42:33.456 --> 42:35.556
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, Armstrong.
42:35.596 --> 42:36.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Andrew Armstrong.
42:36.416 --> 42:37.156
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the one.
42:37.176 --> 42:37.416
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
42:37.776 --> 42:38.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, man.
42:38.257 --> 42:39.797
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I really, I want to see what they got.
42:40.177 --> 42:41.637
[SPEAKER_01]: S. Screech is available.
42:41.737 --> 42:43.317
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like him, but who knows?
42:43.958 --> 42:46.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, easy, easy at this point.
42:47.138 --> 42:48.818
[SPEAKER_02]: That's, that's another, that's another chanting.
42:48.858 --> 42:49.759
[SPEAKER_02]: Tindal situation.
42:49.859 --> 42:50.219
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
42:50.299 --> 42:54.179
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I, at one point, we're like, oh, he's going to be our debo blah, blah, blah.
42:54.339 --> 42:55.660
[SPEAKER_02]: And we don't even mention him.
42:55.840 --> 42:56.900
[SPEAKER_02]: Notice he's an afterthought.
42:57.000 --> 42:57.220
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
42:57.700 --> 43:05.722
[SPEAKER_01]: he has a uphill battle himself, you know, he'll be ashamed if one of these, uh, undrafted ends up being on the structure before him.
43:05.762 --> 43:07.822
[SPEAKER_01]: That, at that point, he's done it.
43:08.722 --> 43:21.365
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, I mean, you know, the kid, the kid had some, he's got some talent, obviously, so he'll catch on somewhere else probably, but, you know, at this point, it wasn't really worth the draft selection because he, he just did it, it didn't pan out.
43:21.705 --> 43:22.505
[SPEAKER_02]: It really didn't pan out.
43:22.865 --> 43:22.945
[SPEAKER_02]: Um,
43:23.845 --> 43:30.390
[SPEAKER_02]: And obviously the last position to talk about here moving off on the wide receivers, I think we're pretty set is a punning battle.
43:30.410 --> 43:32.092
[SPEAKER_02]: You got Stonehouse and you got Bailey.
43:32.312 --> 43:33.853
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm ready to move on from Bailey.
43:33.913 --> 43:35.634
[SPEAKER_02]: He really wasn't consistent.
43:37.015 --> 43:41.639
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't tell you enough about Stonehouse because I ain't doing much scouting with the punters.
43:41.939 --> 43:48.004
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if a lot of people are, but I can tell you I've seen enough of Bailey to know that I think it's time to move on.
43:48.044 --> 43:49.145
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how you feel about that.
43:49.385 --> 43:58.713
[SPEAKER_01]: But the special teams coach, I think, I think they worked together.
43:58.993 --> 43:59.533
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, they did.
43:59.593 --> 44:00.254
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Tennessee.
44:00.434 --> 44:00.654
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
44:00.714 --> 44:05.879
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that he graded out pretty well, punting he has a leg on him.
44:06.819 --> 44:08.321
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's not just about leg, right?
44:08.401 --> 44:09.462
[SPEAKER_01]: You need accuracy.
44:09.482 --> 44:12.604
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what Bailey at the time of his
44:13.645 --> 44:25.890
[SPEAKER_01]: When we got a man acquisition, that was what he was most appraised about, especially when he came from New England, his accuracy, getting the ball behind the ten yards on the opposite field.
44:26.210 --> 44:30.332
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm interested to see Stonehouse and what he can bring.
44:30.672 --> 44:31.252
[SPEAKER_01]: He has a lead.
44:31.652 --> 44:40.154
[SPEAKER_01]: If they can hone in his accuracy, I think it'll be another third element that's always been underestimated.
44:40.454 --> 44:43.555
[SPEAKER_01]: That's important for a team to be successful and take it to the next steps.
44:43.855 --> 44:52.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Special teams, the coach for the special teams is highly rated from what I did my little research on.
44:53.017 --> 44:58.918
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you can get it together and get Stonehouse, getting going, I would love that.
44:59.238 --> 45:01.279
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a fan of Bailey anymore, I think it's time to move on.
45:01.659 --> 45:04.301
[SPEAKER_01]: and Sanders is always to go money Sanders.
45:04.521 --> 45:07.262
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, regardless of how anybody feels about him.
45:07.282 --> 45:10.324
[SPEAKER_02]: He's he's he's he's gone back on back on track.
45:10.364 --> 45:11.324
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what's important.
45:11.344 --> 45:15.146
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I mean shout out to shout out to French for always having this bad.
45:15.166 --> 45:16.787
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so bad.
45:16.827 --> 45:20.089
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but we got us to fall, you know, right.
45:20.189 --> 45:20.669
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
45:21.730 --> 45:23.931
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll settle for Sanders again another year.
45:24.131 --> 45:27.273
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, man.
45:27.293 --> 45:29.254
[SPEAKER_02]: So anything else before we get out of here?
45:29.794 --> 45:30.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, man.
45:31.588 --> 45:34.649
[SPEAKER_01]: My hope Jonah's seven-yah gets signed soon.
45:34.669 --> 45:38.511
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's a issue with the contracts for the second round picks.
45:39.531 --> 45:41.272
[SPEAKER_01]: Jonah was selected at the thirty map pick.
45:41.612 --> 45:49.016
[SPEAKER_01]: So, from what I was seeing from Spultrack, they're saying the difference is in a million plus the difference in guarantee signing.
45:49.456 --> 45:54.338
[SPEAKER_01]: So, if that's the case, come on, y'all, come on, let's be for real blind me, don't just do it.
45:55.018 --> 45:59.181
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he's going to be your guard for ten plus years.
45:59.521 --> 46:00.902
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I just had this feeling.
46:01.422 --> 46:02.503
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I do too.
46:02.963 --> 46:03.644
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the kid.
46:03.764 --> 46:11.509
[SPEAKER_02]: I love seeing that getting another use on the team and and just seeing that big dog just, bro, I, I was so happy when they traded up and got him.
46:11.569 --> 46:13.030
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, finally, bro, you know,
46:13.610 --> 46:15.651
[SPEAKER_02]: But for what I read, I could be wrong.
46:16.012 --> 46:17.032
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't don't call me on this.
46:17.112 --> 46:24.156
[SPEAKER_02]: A little that I read about today was the fact that Houston traded up, I think late into the first round or something like that.
46:24.696 --> 46:27.258
[SPEAKER_02]: And then they guaranteed the guy's contract.
46:27.538 --> 46:32.721
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the next team, which I can't remember who it was, also signed a guy in the second round, right?
46:32.781 --> 46:33.041
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
46:33.081 --> 46:34.682
[SPEAKER_02]: But guaranteed his contract as well.
46:35.062 --> 46:36.263
[SPEAKER_02]: So that screwed up everything.
46:36.583 --> 46:37.003
[SPEAKER_02]: It did.
46:37.224 --> 46:37.424
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
46:38.124 --> 46:49.127
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so and there's like what thirty out of the thirty two guys in the second round they got drafted our unsigned because of this and we we can't have this we can't have him behind the eight ball man.
46:50.128 --> 46:51.768
[SPEAKER_01]: This isn't this is an important year.
46:52.248 --> 46:57.270
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think this is a super full year for the dolphins and we'll talk about that probably later in the future.
46:57.590 --> 47:01.591
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think they're trying to set themselves up to become a suitable contender
47:02.311 --> 47:12.902
[SPEAKER_01]: And what better way to get there, where all your rookies are starting the process at day one, night and day fifteen, I don't want that to happen for sure.
47:13.282 --> 47:15.985
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, you don't want to start behind the able, right?
47:16.405 --> 47:17.446
[SPEAKER_02]: So, so during your
47:18.307 --> 47:21.770
[SPEAKER_02]: without getting too deep into it because we're getting into an hour, almost an hour here.
47:22.250 --> 47:26.614
[SPEAKER_02]: What side do you expect Jonah to play on the left side or the right side?
47:26.994 --> 47:29.176
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's a follow-up question to that once you answer.
47:29.356 --> 47:43.027
[SPEAKER_01]: So initially for me, I thought maybe the right side was the better option for him as opposed to the left side only because I felt like you want to kind of have a balance of veteran to young players.
47:43.407 --> 47:46.109
[SPEAKER_01]: Paul, he's a second year player.
47:47.931 --> 47:49.793
[SPEAKER_01]: drafted last year in the second round.
47:50.514 --> 47:59.846
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have preferred a James Daniels to be next to him because he's a veteran and then you, you, you kind of combat Jonah Williams.
48:00.087 --> 48:03.851
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Jonah Savinaya as a rookie who was learning the, um,
48:04.352 --> 48:13.200
[SPEAKER_01]: learning to be in the lead, learning the speed to have Austin Giantson and Andrew Aaron Mayor, a brewer, sorry, to be next to him.
48:13.700 --> 48:15.782
[SPEAKER_01]: But here's this to thing though.
48:16.122 --> 48:17.383
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about comfortability.
48:17.723 --> 48:20.486
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's about how well you can kind of learn the system.
48:20.606 --> 48:24.009
[SPEAKER_01]: And it feels like maybe left side is this is his column.
48:24.389 --> 48:27.772
[SPEAKER_01]: So based on what I'm hearing and what is being presented out there.
48:28.152 --> 48:40.134
[SPEAKER_01]: So for me, I would put him at the right, but if he's comfortable at the left side, and he can mesh well with Patrick Paul, and they can get it together quickly, because we got what?
48:40.275 --> 48:44.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Four weeks of AFC, I would love to get in start.
48:45.015 --> 48:50.477
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to have a four-note start and kind of lead the division early, you know, to kind of get us going.
48:50.857 --> 48:57.298
[SPEAKER_01]: If they can get it all together quickly, which I'm hearing me, they are, I don't mind him being on that left side with Patrick.
48:57.518 --> 49:06.703
[SPEAKER_02]: So the, and you kind of answered the question because it was more towards, uh, uh, your opinion on Patrick, Paul and I'm in Joel on this.
49:06.863 --> 49:09.325
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited about that pairing, and I'll tell you why.
49:10.125 --> 49:14.628
[SPEAKER_02]: There's, there's certain things that football or sports in general, right?
49:14.988 --> 49:15.889
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not so much.
49:16.809 --> 49:19.930
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it is being athletic and being a good player is important, right?
49:20.231 --> 49:23.592
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's also, there's a certain weight to intangibles, right?
49:23.772 --> 49:27.734
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're looking at Patrick Paul, a guy who is a natural born leader, right?
49:27.774 --> 49:31.416
[SPEAKER_02]: We know he just needed, he's got over three hundred snaps last year.
49:31.876 --> 49:32.676
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, as a rookie.
49:33.036 --> 49:33.677
[SPEAKER_02]: That's important.
49:34.657 --> 49:35.198
[SPEAKER_02]: It's huge.
49:35.278 --> 49:36.078
[SPEAKER_02]: That's huge, right?
49:36.538 --> 49:39.820
[SPEAKER_02]: So him having to work ethic be a natural born leader.
49:39.920 --> 49:48.886
[SPEAKER_02]: A guy that's going to work is ass off when we interviewed and we spoke to the the beat writer from the Wildcats during the off season and he spoke about Jonah.
49:48.946 --> 49:52.368
[SPEAKER_02]: We got the same exact thing out of him.
49:52.388 --> 49:57.451
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that alone make me make me like open my as a while.
49:57.831 --> 50:01.193
[SPEAKER_02]: We got two big dogs on the left side that are leaders that are warriors.
50:03.253 --> 50:07.494
[SPEAKER_02]: That that are also talented that obviously is going to take you know, you have the jelly, of course.
50:07.554 --> 50:09.154
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fine.
50:09.515 --> 50:13.175
[SPEAKER_02]: That for me, I was like, okay, I'm a lot more comfortable on that side.
50:13.495 --> 50:16.616
[SPEAKER_02]: And obviously you have the right side with two veterans.
50:18.717 --> 50:23.738
[SPEAKER_02]: So they, I'm, I think, you know, again, there was talk.
50:25.217 --> 50:31.540
[SPEAKER_02]: out in, you know, social media podcast, dolphin podcast world that the offensive line took a step back.
50:32.500 --> 50:37.183
[SPEAKER_02]: Once again, I am on record saying this offensive line has improved.
50:37.543 --> 50:40.024
[SPEAKER_02]: The admittedly agreed that this offensive line has improved.
50:40.264 --> 50:49.148
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we lose leadership in in a and, um, Toronto retiring, but the talent alone in the middle is headed shoulders above that what we had last year.
50:49.268 --> 50:49.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Great.
50:49.889 --> 50:50.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
50:50.089 --> 50:50.809
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
50:51.170 --> 50:58.476
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that that part, I think the depth part is awaiting sea because you want you got guys, um, the kid from Michigan.
50:58.516 --> 50:59.657
[SPEAKER_01]: You got Andrew Mayer.
50:59.998 --> 51:04.782
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, his role expand to, uh, to be on the guard as a with center.
51:05.442 --> 51:12.148
[SPEAKER_01]: You got, you know, Addison West Michigan Eastern, I think those guys, we don't know why they're going to be.
51:13.494 --> 51:14.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
51:14.435 --> 51:14.715
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
51:14.755 --> 51:17.557
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, you know, Smith, you know, right.
51:17.797 --> 51:20.839
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to see what the guy that would go from for the bears as well.
51:21.060 --> 51:21.400
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
51:22.180 --> 51:25.242
[SPEAKER_01]: Larry, Larry Borm, we don't know what the depth will look like.
51:25.463 --> 51:27.104
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe that's the focus.
51:27.444 --> 51:33.108
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, with Patrick Paul, because he's inexperienced and is unknown.
51:35.009 --> 51:39.452
[SPEAKER_01]: Or at least the film is not enough to determine if if
51:40.513 --> 51:41.795
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're comfortable, right?
51:41.875 --> 51:45.020
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can understand from that perspective, but I agree with you.
51:45.060 --> 51:51.430
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is a upgrade compared to what we had last year for sure for sure.
51:51.550 --> 51:55.897
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you could argue that's a slight drop from Taran, even though that he wasn't.
51:56.257 --> 51:57.577
[SPEAKER_02]: to Ron that we know, right?
51:57.937 --> 51:58.858
[SPEAKER_02]: He was always hurt.
51:59.118 --> 52:02.819
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the leader like again, leadership has a way to it that there's there's value, right?
52:02.839 --> 52:03.179
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
52:03.499 --> 52:10.780
[SPEAKER_02]: But so let's say the slight drop, but of between Rob Jones and Liam versus Jonah and James Daniels.
52:11.101 --> 52:11.341
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
52:11.981 --> 52:12.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, guys.
52:12.801 --> 52:16.702
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, and then you had what, uh, who's the, the backup?
52:17.502 --> 52:33.777
[SPEAKER_01]: that we had for God is name number sixty six left or cotton yeah Larry born I know nobody likes it but Larry born is a better athlete and then even the undrafted that you have I think they're better they're better they're better
52:35.098 --> 52:40.581
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think it's a better upside than unless the cotton will try to weed try to go.
52:40.921 --> 52:51.627
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's just a matter of them seeing it to kind of say, yeah, we upgraded and it's kind of premature anyway for anybody to say one way or another.
52:51.887 --> 52:53.468
[SPEAKER_01]: So at the end of the day.
52:55.830 --> 53:08.564
[SPEAKER_02]: The point is, Junior is that either either you're gonna get on the train and say, I trust the coaches, and really trust the coaches, or you're gonna say, I trust the coaches, and then talk out of the other side of your mouth and say, oh, they don't know what they're doing.
53:09.405 --> 53:10.406
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe in this talent.
53:10.726 --> 53:11.387
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not in the room.
53:11.727 --> 53:13.009
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's wait and see what happens.
53:13.929 --> 53:14.830
[SPEAKER_02]: You gotta see what happens.
53:18.133 --> 53:21.135
[SPEAKER_02]: So anyway, I ask you again, anything else before we get out of here.
53:22.136 --> 53:28.060
[SPEAKER_01]: Other than, you know, thank you guys for supporting us and being with us, tune in with us weekly.
53:28.361 --> 53:29.902
[SPEAKER_01]: We're now again, started.
53:30.342 --> 53:32.524
[SPEAKER_01]: You should see, you should hear from us very soon.
53:32.944 --> 53:37.607
[SPEAKER_01]: We're probably going to hear a lot of podcasts for you talk about training.
53:37.628 --> 53:40.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't talk about the current events of the Miami dolphins.
53:40.970 --> 53:43.652
[SPEAKER_01]: I know we're still waiting for a couple of moves in that position.
53:43.692 --> 53:47.215
[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully once that time, times we can give you our thoughts and
53:47.735 --> 53:51.338
[SPEAKER_01]: in our opinions about, you know, what the Maori dolphins do, but ultimately, thank you.
53:51.358 --> 53:58.986
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you five reasons, thank you fancited, and especially, thank you, the fans of the fans nation for supporting us.
53:59.366 --> 53:59.466
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
