00:12.605 --> 00:26.705
[SPEAKER_01]: I go back right now they're out the pasture training camp update here and a lot of good stuff going on another another day in pads Joe you surprised that they're going to pads like so many times like it's changing some things yeah it's been more physical nowadays in pad yeah

00:27.637 --> 00:35.360
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, everybody's been talking about this team need to get more fidzy go with the change in size of players that they're able to get through the draft and free agency.

00:36.240 --> 00:38.341
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're really working online a scrimmage.

00:38.401 --> 00:42.462
[SPEAKER_01]: And look, not only are they in pads, but I think they're hitting hard.

00:42.762 --> 00:43.982
[SPEAKER_01]: They're hitting hard.

00:44.283 --> 00:48.604
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not taking to the ground, but you can pop a running back or a receiver when he catches a ball.

00:48.624 --> 00:50.985
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's a nice thing.

00:51.325 --> 00:54.406
[SPEAKER_01]: The other thing is I think the enthusiasm that you see out of these guys

00:54.826 --> 00:59.889
[SPEAKER_01]: If I stand after doing up-downs, doing extra work, guys like each other.

01:00.089 --> 01:00.409
[SPEAKER_01]: They do.

01:00.469 --> 01:00.809
[SPEAKER_01]: They do.

01:00.889 --> 01:01.189
[SPEAKER_01]: No doubt.

01:01.249 --> 01:02.270
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like the old days.

01:02.310 --> 01:07.693
[SPEAKER_00]: They're hanging out together, staying longer, boy, it's a good sign.

01:07.733 --> 01:10.454
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether you want to call it the culture, the new dolphins.

01:11.995 --> 01:30.122
[SPEAKER_00]: whoever you talk to and you and I Bradley Tubb Zach Sealer across the board man we just feel like it's a closed group which is gonna give them a chance they're gonna go they're gonna go through some hard times now this this football season is gonna be a roller coaster hang together they'll get through yeah you know I kind of look back

01:30.982 --> 01:52.127
[SPEAKER_01]: we have two good drafts in the first and second rounds and I think those guys from last year and the guys this year are really part of that young younger group that's going to be the leaders in this team very very quickly so I know everybody gets tired of hearing this I go back to when we played the seventies right into the eighties and we had a nice one went to Super Bowl seventeen and nineteen

01:53.063 --> 01:54.244
[SPEAKER_00]: We hit on ones and two.

01:54.304 --> 01:56.385
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I look at you and Larry Gordon.

01:56.485 --> 02:03.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I look at AJ doing and Bob Brown how I look at Dwight and Don Don McNeil number one Dwight Steven's number two.

02:04.170 --> 02:12.235
[SPEAKER_00]: And you look and listen, those are a lot of real not not average a lot of really good football players to coach you with hit on in rounds one and two.

02:12.375 --> 02:12.715
[SPEAKER_01]: No doubt.

02:12.875 --> 02:14.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, let's let's talk a little bit about

02:15.657 --> 02:19.338
[SPEAKER_01]: going up to touch a cog with a Chicago playing the playing game.

02:19.358 --> 02:21.199
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll have one practice with against the bears.

02:21.459 --> 02:22.239
[SPEAKER_01]: Then we'll go to Detroit.

02:22.259 --> 02:23.259
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's talk about Chicago.

02:23.299 --> 02:26.320
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you looking to see when they get on the field?

02:26.340 --> 02:30.101
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that's going to be, you know, it's going to be intense and you know, it's going to be physical.

02:30.442 --> 02:32.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the first two weeks have been homework, guys.

02:32.722 --> 02:33.082
[SPEAKER_00]: Homework.

02:33.282 --> 02:34.723
[SPEAKER_00]: Playing against same guys at homework.

02:35.303 --> 02:36.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you step up into quizzes.

02:37.224 --> 02:39.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Practice against Chicago, fresh bodies.

02:39.884 --> 02:42.445
[SPEAKER_00]: You've had a couple weeks to learn what you're supposed to do.

02:42.525 --> 02:43.865
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let it go.

02:43.925 --> 02:50.787
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to think a lot and go on and compete because now a lot of guys going to be competing for one of those fifty three man jobs.

02:50.807 --> 02:53.268
[SPEAKER_00]: So Bo, I think I'm going to be looking at top trapex.

02:53.748 --> 02:56.671
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, top rookie free agents in this thing.

02:56.711 --> 02:59.574
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the areas we've talked about backup offensive linemen.

02:59.874 --> 03:04.139
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to find a backup tackle that we can trust right and left side.

03:04.499 --> 03:07.302
[SPEAKER_00]: And on top of that, got to find four or five corners to team.

03:07.322 --> 03:09.324
[SPEAKER_00]: The coach seemed to feel good about a ball.

03:09.344 --> 03:10.285
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we got him here.

03:10.525 --> 03:20.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you kind of started seeing the structure of that back there, but you know, the other thing I saw, you know, Aaron Brewer is back in playing James Daniels is in there now.

03:20.507 --> 03:30.870
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're getting to see what that whole starting offensive line is going to be like with those guys there, because they've been in and out a little bit early in the year, but now they're in and when you go, so I think that's going to be a good thing.

03:31.150 --> 03:33.351
[SPEAKER_01]: And I want, you know, obviously you were looking at the secondary.

03:33.511 --> 03:41.595
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, early, you know, on my callous Campbell chef field, and then you got an Elijah Campbell service was playing one of the time starting safety.

03:41.615 --> 03:43.656
[SPEAKER_01]: He's had the jersey of the red jersey on today.

03:44.137 --> 03:49.519
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you, you know, in Mica, obviously, and I saw he's in Bonner playing on the on the on the on the boundry.

03:49.559 --> 03:51.960
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're, they're looking for a combination out there.

03:52.261 --> 03:53.001
[SPEAKER_01]: So watch that.

03:53.361 --> 03:56.703
[SPEAKER_01]: But then also, you know, you, you, you want to, I want to look at and see these guys.

03:57.424 --> 04:11.642
[SPEAKER_01]: because you know when you do these joint practice and one thing I think we all like to join practices maybe better than preseason games and one of the reasons why I like it is because coaches can put guys on one on one situations that they want to see I want to see my guy against this guy I want to see that

04:13.024 --> 04:15.207
[SPEAKER_01]: You catch up the guys you want, I see what they do.

04:15.627 --> 04:17.049
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's one of the things I always say.

04:17.069 --> 04:23.056
[SPEAKER_01]: The one on one was where there's past rushing, one on one route running, all the different things that they do with one on one.

04:23.157 --> 04:26.681
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a great way to really evaluate what the core of the team is.

04:26.801 --> 04:31.046
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think we got a pretty good idea through two weeks and again, it's just practice.

04:31.647 --> 04:36.650
[SPEAKER_00]: got a pretty good idea what this strength and strong positions are and what still need some work.

04:37.170 --> 04:46.135
[SPEAKER_00]: But I want to see saying that the front seven for the Miami Dolphins looks like it's not only got a nice starting core, but it's got some really good.

04:46.175 --> 04:47.095
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're there deep.

04:47.235 --> 04:48.496
[SPEAKER_01]: They're the KJ Brits in there.

04:48.616 --> 04:48.976
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been.

04:49.016 --> 04:49.516
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see it.

04:49.536 --> 04:50.997
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets that Chicago bear off.

04:51.037 --> 04:52.758
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been completely reconquered.

04:53.118 --> 04:54.779
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm with you, the front seven to me.

04:55.439 --> 05:01.181
[SPEAKER_01]: You got plenty of guys in the outside, you know, as they stay healthy, you got some guy, you know, Q-bell and some guys that you've mixed in there.

05:01.461 --> 05:04.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm in the interior guys that've been playing really well with some.

05:04.502 --> 05:06.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a lot of safety with guys.

05:06.483 --> 05:11.665
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean, we don't talk about this very much, but I want to see the special teams up there.

05:12.185 --> 05:17.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see them go through word, not, you know, semi-life kind of stuff, because this is the special teams for less couple of years.

05:18.267 --> 05:20.348
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't kind of dice you.

05:20.708 --> 05:22.029
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe a special team said,

05:22.589 --> 05:38.319
[SPEAKER_01]: than other than, you know, your field goal kicker, Jason Sanders, it's more like they haven't won as many games, you know, haven't been focal at winning games, they've spent more times being losing games.

05:38.459 --> 05:42.322
[SPEAKER_01]: So are not not being ready to play the way they need to.

05:42.542 --> 05:45.784
[SPEAKER_00]: So still a little critical here, but no, that's why special teams over on the same.

05:45.804 --> 05:46.505
[SPEAKER_00]: Special teams.

05:47.369 --> 05:48.269
[SPEAKER_00]: field position man.

05:48.349 --> 05:49.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

05:49.330 --> 05:55.312
[SPEAKER_00]: It's about beating other team by ten or fifteen yards from where you start a possession and those type of things.

05:55.752 --> 05:57.133
[SPEAKER_00]: And we need more big place.

05:57.233 --> 05:59.414
[SPEAKER_00]: We need more pump returns and kick off return.

05:59.634 --> 06:00.574
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't have to be touched down.

06:00.614 --> 06:07.717
[SPEAKER_00]: But set your offense up or defense either back the other team up or set yourself up on a short field offensive.

06:07.797 --> 06:11.538
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, look, I got a catcher plane here at about the, I don't know what time I'm gonna catch you in a day or two.

06:11.558 --> 06:16.240
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna head up to what you're talking with these guys and I'm looking forward to it.

06:16.260 --> 06:17.120
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're gonna wrap this up.

06:17.140 --> 06:17.480
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Joe.

06:17.820 --> 06:22.782
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the last time we talked, I said I'm gonna go into Edmore's sawgrass automole and look for a car.

06:23.042 --> 06:24.802
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I snacked you know I was a catty guy.

06:25.182 --> 06:26.783
[SPEAKER_01]: I can be a electric car.

06:27.123 --> 06:28.964
[SPEAKER_00]: Would you like this kind of go look at it you bought it?

06:29.224 --> 06:32.625
