61. This Mustache Stole the Miami Dolphins Draft...and Bo's Heart | Out to Pasture Moment
Kim Bokamper breaks down what stood out most from the Miami Dolphins’ latest draft… and no, it’s not just the picks.
In this Out to Pasture Moment, Bo shares why he likes the direction of the Dolphins’ draft — from Kadyn Proctor anchoring the offensive line to Chris Johnson locking down the secondary — but ultimately, one thing rises above it all:
Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez’s legendary mustache.
Bo takes you on a hilarious and nostalgic ride through Dolphins history, from Don Shula’s no-beard rule to the iconic Fu Manchu looks of the 1972 Fins, and explains why Rodriguez’s throwback style (and tough, physical play) might make him a perfect fit in Miami.
Plus:
•Why Rodriguez could be a playmaking linebacker
•The connection to Zach Thomas and Dolphins toughness
•The story behind Bo’s own mustache (52 years strong!)
•And why this rookie already feels like a culture fit
It’s part draft breakdown, part Dolphins history lesson, and all classic Bo.

00:11.152 --> 00:26.123
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I just got a sifting through the draft as a dust is all settled and we're starting to get ready into it going into a mini camp next week with a rookies and all that stuff and just kind of wanted to go over my thoughts on the on the draft.
00:26.144 --> 00:27.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I liked it what they did.
00:27.326 --> 00:27.827
[SPEAKER_00]: I like what they did.
00:27.807 --> 00:38.923
[SPEAKER_00]: John Erick Sullivan did 13 picks in that draft and I think you've got some guys that are going to really become playmakers if not immediately as the future moves along.
00:38.963 --> 00:48.297
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's look at Caden Proctor you know when I heard about him and you heard about the weight and this now go, I'm not sure but the more I've been delved into it, I'm going to talk to people about him.
00:48.277 --> 00:53.267
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be a great pick-up, left-guards and play left guard next to Patrick Paul.
00:53.287 --> 00:56.714
[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to make a huge left side of that offensive line.
00:56.975 --> 01:00.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Going to be able to protect Malik Willis, give a chance some room running room.
01:00.622 --> 01:06.454
[SPEAKER_00]: So I like that, you know, he's going to start right on the bat that's always been already been settled.
01:06.434 --> 01:14.090
[SPEAKER_00]: As is the next pick the number two pick Chris Johnson the corner back out of San Diego state He's gonna be a bona fide starter in day one.
01:14.110 --> 01:20.083
[SPEAKER_00]: He's probably gonna be a cornerstone of that dolphin secondary That you're gonna build on for over the next five years.
01:20.103 --> 01:22.047
[SPEAKER_00]: So to have a guy that can cover
01:22.027 --> 01:32.147
[SPEAKER_00]: that has a lot of roaming room can go sideline to sideline, he'll tackle when he needs to he'll pick off balls and so you know it's nice to have a corner back.
01:32.167 --> 01:39.040
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we've seen a corner back coming like that since maybe Diamond Neal back in the mid 70s and 80s.
01:39.020 --> 01:43.647
[SPEAKER_00]: And so let me go to the next one before I'm going to go to my next my next evaluation.
01:44.348 --> 01:45.770
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got to give you a little dolphin history.
01:45.790 --> 01:50.817
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, 1970 when Don Shula came in and inherited this Miami dolphin football team.
01:51.658 --> 01:52.800
[SPEAKER_00]: He inherited a little problem.
01:53.561 --> 02:00.150
[SPEAKER_00]: As some good players had some good, not so good players, but they're able to make trades and make that team a really good football team.
02:00.130 --> 02:12.362
[SPEAKER_00]: And not always had rules, always had a lot of rules, and he adhered to his rules, because he implemented him when he's in Baltimore, from then on, and they lived with him for the rest of his career.
02:12.943 --> 02:29.479
[SPEAKER_00]: And so one of the rules, you know, that a bunch of renegades on that football team, Larry Zaka, Jim Kitt, many Fernandez, Jake Scott, just to name a few, and the issue became with
02:29.459 --> 02:31.341
[SPEAKER_00]: No full beards.
02:31.761 --> 02:32.582
[SPEAKER_00]: He hated beards.
02:32.662 --> 02:33.263
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't want beards.
02:33.363 --> 02:58.487
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why don't ask me why but he didn't like beards And so all those guys at that time had beards and if you notice all those guys were the best players They had on the football team and for a while they wouldn't budged and it became a it became an issue until One of the guys came up with I think was Jim kick said you know what you know they all had the beards I said so he said you know why don't we do this why don't we just shave
02:58.467 --> 03:01.933
[SPEAKER_00]: right here, and then it becomes what?
03:02.414 --> 03:03.335
[SPEAKER_00]: A full man chew.
03:03.676 --> 03:06.961
[SPEAKER_00]: Full man chew is not a beard, and it's just kind of mutton chops.
03:06.981 --> 03:09.566
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a mutton chop thing there, and they had to sue.
03:09.906 --> 03:17.720
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that, so when Don Shula said, I think he kind of bucked a little bit, but then he said, OK, fine, fine, I'll give you that.
03:17.780 --> 03:19.142
[SPEAKER_00]: So your mustache is,
03:19.122 --> 03:19.983
[SPEAKER_00]: not beards.
03:20.003 --> 03:23.388
[SPEAKER_00]: So now here we come to our new guy, do we pick?
03:23.428 --> 03:39.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Lineback or Jacob Rodriguez, 6-1, 2-31, a tackling machine, they got punches balls out, he's side line to side line, makes plays all over the place and I think he's become a very, very, very good player on this football team.
03:39.051 --> 03:41.434
[SPEAKER_00]: But what appeals to me, obviously,
03:43.017 --> 03:44.539
[SPEAKER_00]: is that mustache.
03:45.140 --> 03:47.784
[SPEAKER_00]: That mustache is a classic mustache.
03:47.804 --> 03:59.520
[SPEAKER_00]: Going back to Clark Gable and all those guys and again, going back to their tradition of the Miami Dolphins with the no name defense, with kick, with Zonka.
03:59.540 --> 04:05.988
[SPEAKER_00]: And all those guys, they went to the Fumant shoe just to get away from the beard rule in Coach Shua had.
04:06.008 --> 04:09.413
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, they noticed, so I started growing my mustache
04:10.625 --> 04:21.795
[SPEAKER_00]: In 1972, watching the Dolphins play against the Kansas City Chiefs, long as game ever played, and I'm looking at all these guys, and I became a fan that night of that football team.
04:22.357 --> 04:25.866
[SPEAKER_00]: And, about a week later, I began growing my mustache.
04:25.846 --> 04:29.871
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've had this mustache for over 52 years.
04:30.732 --> 04:34.257
[SPEAKER_00]: One time I shaved it off, I walked out of the bathroom.
04:35.439 --> 04:38.042
[SPEAKER_00]: My wife and two daughters were sitting and watching TV, they looked at me.
04:38.703 --> 04:40.165
[SPEAKER_00]: My wife and kids started crying.
04:40.645 --> 04:44.350
[SPEAKER_00]: My wife said, you turn around and go start growing that thing right now again.
04:44.450 --> 04:48.436
[SPEAKER_00]: So I did, took about a week to get grown fully and I haven't shaved it off.
04:48.456 --> 04:50.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't taken it off since then.
04:50.739 --> 04:51.820
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
04:51.800 --> 05:08.695
[SPEAKER_00]: Jacob Rodriguez, that mustache, the way that he plays, he's a linebacker, Texas Tech, Zectarmus, I got my Zectarmus Hall of Fame hat, I was a linebacker, so I think we got a little kinship there, not only that, but he got a bad ass wife.
05:08.675 --> 05:31.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Army helicopter pilot, black hoax, and just a tough girl, tough guy, and look, as we saw during the season, pre-game, and one of Texas, Texas, Texas games, you know, he stood up to the challenge of Pat McAfee to see if, because he started as a quarterback, if he could throw the throw football and hit the crossbar from 20 yards out, and
05:31.507 --> 05:33.331
[SPEAKER_00]: and lo and behold, you did make $250,000.
05:33.351 --> 05:38.763
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got $250,000 for the military to donate to the military.
05:39.184 --> 05:40.307
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've got to like that.
05:40.687 --> 05:41.930
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got to like the way it plays.
05:42.211 --> 05:45.458
[SPEAKER_00]: But from my money, you've got to love the mustache.
05:45.478 --> 05:46.360
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see you next time.
00:11.152 --> 00:26.123

05:39.184 --> 05:40.307
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've got to like that.
05:40.687 --> 05:41.930
