2022 Review: Tight Ends

pulse and far What is up? Dolphans And welcome to the Drift Time podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's it going? Everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield, And on today's show, Senior Bowl practices going to the week in general is a rap. I've been pouring over some of the practice

tape identifying some of the best performances. We'll talk about that and continue our two season review series with the tight End Room from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drivetime. We're putting together a content proposal peace Um for scouting combine this year, and I went back and looked at some of the old content we did for the scouting combine, and I listened to one of the first episodes of Drive Time,

at least the first like twenty seconds of it. Boy, your boy had some energy and some enthusiasm. It's funny how jobs can change that over time. But rolling along here with the two season getting deeper and deeper into the rear view mirror, we continue assessing an evaluating, the critical first step before devising your off season plan. What we had in two. We'll go back to the offensive side of the ball today and break down the IT end room, which had it struggles this past season. We

first start here with the accomplishments of the group. Forty seven grabs for four nine yards or fifty seven grabs other and six touchdowns and fifty four snaps played, and they were in twelve personnel excuse me, nine point four percent of the time. Of course, that's one back too.

Tight ends. It's a big fixture, a big piece of this offense and the way they want to establish not just a certain style of running game, but the play action game off of that and the ability to be explosive or run the football from that twelve personnel package. I mean, you get Tyreek and Jalen on the field with two good blocking tight ends and equality running back and a good offensive line. I mean, who's gonna stop

that offense? So you have some work to do to make that possibility, and within your capacity of your calls, I think we see that number increase if you can get to that level in the future, because if you have to defend both wide areas of the field and the running game, you have contend with two four three receivers, you have a good quarterback and a good offensive line that can protect, and an explosive running back. Man, you're

cooking with gas. And it kind of brings me back to this idea or philosophy or theory that I share oftentimes with friends or people that are close to this team as well in terms of you know, fans and friends, And I pose this question that day to a group chat of mine, like, would you rather kind of if you only had X amount of premium resources, would you rather patch up a couple of spots you have on offense and make that like one of the best offenses

in the NFL? Or would you leave it as is and shift those resources in the defense and try to see if you can't make your defense go from like then you have like a you know, seventh or eighth offense and fifteen defense. That's not like an either or situation. But if you were posed in or you know, if you were putting that hypothetical situation, what would you choose? And I tend to lean towards like, make your strength your strength, man, make your team identity your team identity.

So I'm curious to see how it works out this offseason. And again I'm not saying they have to choose either or, but I'll be curious to see where the priority lies. Do they want to fix, you know, the offense and that includes this position, like right tackle. You gotta get better production from that spot, probably a better production from the left guard. You need better health from the quarterback position, and you probably need a little bit more running back.

So like there are you know, areas there to filter your resources towards that I think you could accomplish in one off season. But one thing I do know is this group needs needs some resources, needs some some reinforcements, you know, the group as a whole, there was some timely playmaking in terms of catching touchdowns and explosive plays, but outside of that, there just wasn't much we saw.

You know, Durham Smith kind of took on that role of split flow action try to head up some players in the running game that your your six text and beyond the you know, edge defender outside linebackers and help out with chipping and past protection and off of that split flow action kind of be the flat receiver option which holds you know, certain parts of the defenders for that vertical horizontal stretch. You know, your cloud corner kind of pays attention to that flat tight end coming across

the formation there. And if you can do multiple things, that helps your offense stay flexible, helps keep the defense guessing, and it just allows your quick decision making quarterback to get even more windows and even more advantage based upon the way you move things. But you have to be sharp in these areas, and Miami wasn't this year. Let's just be completely honest about that. It wasn't good at the position, and you gotta get better. How that happens,

we'll have to find out. Let's go ahead and review what happened this season. Here for the Miami Dolphins. Number eighty Tanner Connor didn't have any passing game production, had three targets, and I think two of those were drops. The season kind of just got away from him at that point in terms of like, well, you can't you can't throw the ball to the guy that keeps dropping it. But I do think there's a lot of talent in there. I know the team loves what they have in Tanner Connor.

He played just twenty five snaps. Durham Smith number eighty one, caught fifteen balls for a buck twenty nine and touchdown five hundred and fifty seven snaps. He got the extension last year, but there's flexibility there and we'll see what happens going forward to the position. But I you know, Smith was playing five hundred and fifty seven snaps, was the tight end one this past year, and you just like I said, We'll put it this way, you just

need better production at the spot. Number eight four Hunter long no passing game production. He played ninety three snaps, and the number eighty eight Mike gets Sicky played how many snaps did he give us? Sorry? I just clicked on an email. Four hundred and seventy eight snaps, caught thirty two for three sixty two and five touchdowns. So the touchdown production from Gisicky to me was the only positive you got here. I'll take five touchdowns from my

tight end, but everything else it's gotta go up. Those are bricking numbers. You got pumples numbers up. Reserved injured list was Adam Shaheen and Sethan carter Um. As far as the individuals, going back to his kind of talking about them, Connor, you know, the explosive nature of his of his game, I suppose is what intrigued you. He's a former receiver and track champion that can kind of, you know, give you the explosive element of the game

and we'll see what he can do going forward. Smythe again kind of limited in what he brings the table in terms of that inline blocking, but I think that that's the really aspect of his game that needed to get better, and it hasn't over the like four or five years. I mean, it's gotten better, but not to

where it needs to be, especially in this system. Hunter long has been a slow burn obviously, and then Mike get Sicky just kind of a you know, square pad round hole, trying to make it work, and it didn't work this year. What happens next year, we'll see. But uh, just a tough year for this room in general. And that brings us to what might be out there this offseason among free agents. I mean, there are so many guys on the list that you you know, are kind

of what you just had. You know, Mike get Sicky one of them a free agent. Obviously, Evan Ingram a much better version of that. He was awesome for the Jaguars this year, but he's not gonna line up and you know, go be a slobber knocker on a Sam linebacker,

Austin Hooper, same role, but lesser of a player. But man, there are some names I sure do love as more of a fit in terms of what tight ends are asked to do in this system, right, and and coaches talked about kind of retraining guys to do the opposite what they learned in their football careers in the system, and yeah, let's go get guys that can do that. Now.

I think you gotta do what it tied in one and tied into That's my thought, and I think you try to make them as similar and interchangeable like you would the safety position, and I think it's a significantly priced free agent and relatively high draft pick because this is a big priority for me this offseason. I think this is the biggest key, along with right tackle towards making the offense one of the best to the best in the NFL. Hayden Hurst is my number one guy

all day long. I think he's perfect for I just talked about. IRB. Smith is also up there. Not quite the end line blocker as Hayden Hurst, but he's really good and he's a much better receiver, so there's like some options there. I am slightly intrigued by the idea of a Robert Tonyan who has played in a similar system before and been a good like fourth or fifth option in the passing game, which is what we need in my opinion at this position. Uh. My top of

the market guys are IRV. Smith and Dalton Schultz, although I'm really only interested in one of those guys. IRB. Smith again, first round talent, h back, fullback, tight end, flex him out playing wherever you want. I think that his market value they have here at ten point two million uh per year a p y is pretty pretty on brand, pretty tard on target, and I would pay that or what we did last year the position for

the production we got now Dalton Schultz fifteen millions. The spot rack market value for him, no way, no, I am all the way out on that. But the mid level two guys here, I'm really intrigued by Hayden Hurst again. Six point eight is his market value on spot Rack. Love his game. I think he's just he just brings everything you want at this position at in this offense and playing for Zach Taylor. The offense is somewhat similar kind of an offshooter Sean McVeigh, which of course stems

off the Shanahan trees, so somewhat similar concepts. And then Robert Tonyan again back in that Green Bay offense. He's a five million employer per spot Rack. The bargain guys.

I took four here, which I know is against my own rules, but I put Ross Dwelly and Tyler Croft because they played in San Francisco like and I know Ross Welly is a tight end three tight and four type special team or guy that can come in there and line up in your in your heavy package, your elephant package on the goal line and try to knock some guys back because that kind of extra tackle role. And then Drew Sample and Jesse James are my other two guys. They just missed the entire year last year.

I think it kind of depresses their value a little bit. So if you can get a steal that way, that would be nice. So to me, ideally you'll wind up with Herb Smith or Hayden Hurst or Robert Touny in and then you pair that in the draft with one of the deepest draft classes we've had at this position in a long time. You should have a potential plug and play Day one starter there at pick fifty two if you if you want so Dolphin's first pick this year.

I would have loved to have Darnell Washington from Georgia with pick twenty one, but that ain't happening obviously. He's my top guy, complete freak. He's like seven ft four seven four pounds, just kidding. He's like he is like six eight to seventy though or to eighty, and he freaking can move. He looks like a basketball player out there. He is. He's a phenomenal player, going to be a great pro. And he has tape wiping dudes out, catching passes,

and running away from people. He is impressive, impressive, impressive specimen. Notre Dame's Michael Mayer is the one that gets the on the radar for everybody I've talked to, and it's not hard to see why he's gonna be long gone by the time we pick probably the best Jason Witten coomp we've gotten since Witten came out of Tennessee, and that includes like a lack of separation and explosion at the top of routes. But Whitten didn't have that, and he still found ways to get open. Mayor is kind

of in that same in that same world. He also the name Dalton Kinkaide from Utah. He's a great player, but he's more Gasicky than Kittle, which you know what I mean by that. Uh. Sam Laporter from Iowa has similar skills in terms of run after the catch and making big plays as the tight end you might want here, but gosh, if there's an inline weapon working off stretch zone offense tied into this class, it's LAPORTA man like he gives you the benefit of that kind of horizontal

stretch type of offense. And here's this four team broken tackles on fifty three grabs last year, lad all tight ends in the country. That's a crazy number for a tight end. And he comes from tight end you at Iowa or one of them. I mentioned Musgrave, the Oregan State player at the Senior Bowl. He might be a guy you look at with pick fifty two. Insane athletic ability in a sixty pound frame. He might be my

preferred pick at fifty two. In general, I'm not far enough in yet, but I really really like what he brings the table. He can he can kind of be like an alec ingold, but at the tight end position in terms of how he opens up your offense and the things you can do. Cage still Over from Ohio State is your run block, first tight end, make plays after the fact type of guy. That's why I like him and like, you know, probably the day three, if you know, late day three, maybe perhaps that number two

tight end roll there. I think Miami's Will Mallory doesn't have the in line pelts to be considered. I think Davis Allen is not enough enough of a mover for me, and Minnesota's Brevn span Ford intrigues me in the way A third offensive tackle would kind of talking about, like, um, some of those Ross Dwelly type of roles line up in line and go knock somebody off the football. Fascinating class. Could definitely see Miami comingway with one on Day two

in addition to that big free agent we'll see. But I think this is a big area of focus in a good year to have a deep class at the tight end position. Let's go ahead and take our first break right there and come back on the other side, and I'm gonna tell you about the Senior Bowl and when I thought about some of the practice I've seen so far, not all the way down, but I have a couple of those in the bank right now. That's next Drivetime Podcast, your host, Travis Wingfield, brought to you

by Aunt Nation. Friday. Here on the Drivetime Podcast, we had the schefter tweet on Thursday that found Gio is once again official or I guess not official, but will become official, and we'll have um some podcast content for you guys on him when he is officially official, which I cannot wait to do that. We've been working on that for a while now, so I'm excited to bring it to you. Let's go back to the Senior Bowl here and off the top, this game has just been

such draft mecca over the years. Man, I talked about it seemingly every year, But it wasn't that long ago that you just didn't get first rounders at this game, maybe one or two when I first started watching it back in just like five, I think it was the first year I watched the Senior Bowl and was really into it. But now they get five, six, seven, like maybe ten and in a great year, the best year.

The second and third rounds are loaded every year with Senior Bowl alumni, Senior Bowl alumni, and the best part, it really feels like there are some predictive things you see annually with these practices. Personally, the way a player moves, I locked away, you move Donnut, Donnut? First time I ever a second the podcast. How you guys like that?

Uh yeah, cast Um. The way a player moves among their peers at the Senior Bowl goes such a long way with me, because like that's the easiest, most tangible thing to spot in terms of Scotty, that guy moves different than everybody else. We're gonna talk about a back and a backer in this pod where it's just evident they move at different speeds and their peers do. I also think you get a chance to see a player's polish,

how pro ready is he. We're gonna talk about a receiver who runs just really good, consistent routes with purpose and understands all of that. This is a good chance to see who is really taking their game already to not the peak, but close enough to the peak where you can say I can probably count on that guy to produce in year one, which is such a big deal for a draft prospect. It's not like the biggest thing, obviously,

but it's a bonus. And then you get the past rush, past pro drills, which to me tells a story every single year. That remains my favorite thing to watch at any football practice in any capacity. And some guys really showed you what they've got in that department this week. Let's go ahead and get to it. Darnielle Right, the tackle from Tennessee, is an easy strider to his landmark with good redirect and change of direction back inside. I thought he and Will McDonald were really the man chup

of the week with their one on once. He has the length and range to get around the outside but the balance and strength to thwart moves back inside, and there was a great freak f um. There was a image stat image graphic somebody posted from I don't know, I don't know where it came from. This is turning into Mark Wahlberg and in the Departed Maybe maybe not, maybe yourself. Um, but it was a stat that basically told you how often teams are putting their tackles on

an island. And despite having to Ron Armstead arguably one of the best left tackles in the NFL, the Dolphins were the lowest in terms of leaving their tackles isolated, and a lot of that has to do with the right tackle position. Right is a guy that you can do that with, is what I'm getting at here. Speaking of Will McDonald from Iowa State, Holy Molly, he's gonna be gone way before we pick. But man, he was

so impressive you have to mention him incredibly. Bendy has a wicked spin move back inside, and he just understands his pass rush plan, like when to give more space, when to reduce space, when a counter could work. After showing a specific move all day long, Like I said, he's very likely gone, long gone, by the time Miami picks. But you just can't do this segment and not mention him. Three more names I have here that we've covered a

little bit. I think Cody Mock, the interior offensive lineman from North Dakota State, Like I said on the on the Wednesday podcast, put him into your starting lineup when you draft him. He's gonna be that type of player, the Alex Cappa, the the Quinn Miners for the Broncos last year. He just he's just gonna fit, He's gonna play, He's gonna be awesome. He's a really good player. Has

that temperament you like as well. Uh, A guy that plays sleeveless with no teeth in North Dakota like this sounds like a great player to go up to the Northeast in December and try to win a football game with Keanu Brenton from Wisconsin has just been kicking butt all week and I didn't I wasn't familiar with this game, you know, shack style before before this week. But that's

why I like about Senior bowl Man. You gotta look at these guys you're not familiar with, and they really just kind of turn your head and He's done that with his pad level and leverage. He has just been whooping dudes all week long on the interior. Are the

dolphins in that market, We'll see. I mean they they're pretty good in that position, but it might be more move And then Julius Brent's the cornerback from Kansas State, who, buddy, you want to talk about length and just keeping guys, you know, in their original starting booth, their station at the last creamage, not letting them get out until the release into the route. Julius Brent's will mess up your timing and disrupt your passing game in a big way.

That dude looks the part, and I'm curiously where he goes on draft day and how he runs and how he works out. But he has really gotten my attention. Leonardo DiCaprio and Django style and Jingo Chain style. I know I talked about him in the pod already, but I need day on Henley just unreal speed strike ability.

I mentioned his performance in the preview podcast, but go watch his one on one coverage drills on the running backs and you'll see what I'm talking about, Like if receivers are supposed to in one on one's verse corners. Then this is tenfold for running backs to beat linebackers.

But Henley was all over it. I'll never forget my first look at Shack Leonard from South Carolina State, not South Carolina, South Carolina State in these drills back in then Darius Leonard obviously and being like, Yeah, that dude moves like an elite linebacker. That's why I see with dayon Henley, and it's not has anything to do with Washington State. Go coog Tyreek Stevenson the Miami Corner. Sure a lot of you folks here on this pod know how I'm talking about a little bit annoyed at myself

for omitting him on the preview podcast. I thought we saw excellent technique from him in terms of press and mirror. If you can play up without having to initiate contact and can react in a way that disrupts routes by cutting them off, it's that's one of the best traits for a quarterback. I'm very intrigued, and we saw that all week long with Stevenson. Again, these drills were supposed to favor the receiver, but he scored as many wins as he did losses in this drill. Riley Moss, the

cornerback from Iowa. Jason Sehorn was he the last white cornerback to start a game in the NFL. Riley m Als will be the next one. He said he expects to run a four three. Uh. Change of direction is ridiculous. He is so smooth in and out of his brakes. He just kind of springs off the balls of his feet. People want to project him to safety into me, that's twofold, because one, we don't have any white cornerbacks in the NFL, and and actually valid concern is that he hits like

a safety. But at that size, that change of direction, that physicality, that sounds to me like a slot cornerback man, especially in a potential four to five package. He got beat on a deep ball to Michael Wilson, but he literally punched his hand through the pocket. You know, the receiver has their elbows tucked into their sides and then the open palm so the sky to kind of receive the ball coming down from a deep shot. He had his hand between the elbows into the hands, separating it

and Wilson just still caught the football. Good process, right, You can't do it better. And this was after he knocked Wilson off the route with the drill goes on. It's not realistic to run route for five seconds, but he did. That's double time you get smart, physical and root track athlete mentioned Michael Wilson. That play was one of a bunch that kind of caught my eye. I'm a sucker for a great route unner in the way I love pass rushers who have a plan executed. His

release package is fantastic. He exposes a blind spot and then waste no time going right after it. He also showed exceptional ball skills, tracking and finishing. He's one of those guys you watch him out there and say that's a good pro right there, and you feel confident like he'll he'll be a good player in the NFL. I talked about day on Henley Go Coogs. I think I might have another player that I prefer at the Senior Bowl. Ty J. Spears running back from Tulane, a guy we

mentioned the preview podcast. But if I had to pick someone not named Handling is my favorite player, it's him. He might even be more. Spears is impressive man. His shoulders are always parallel to the lame scrimmage his feet are always working and when he makes a decision to go, he springs off that cut is up to top speed in the flash. I posted a clip or retweeted a clip on my timeline. Go look at it. Like when he hits that spot and gets off of it, it's different.

Do you know I'm saying it's It just looks different. It's a dude, man. I like the way he reads his blocks and team period and also pressed the point to make sure he was working gaining ground and reducing space for backers or scrape and make plays. I really like his game. I really like this guy. And then Roushan Johnson, that running back from Texas. Hope I pronounced that right. We saw the explosiveness in Juice all year when he was spelling Bijon Robinson. What a funny night

name backfield do that is at Texas? But man, he's really showing his salt in the past game and pass pro drills. Sturdy anchor strikes the middle of the man and holds up in those one on one blitch drills. Texas might see both of their backs go on days one and two. We're gonna have a guest on the next podcast spoiler Kyle Crabs locked on Dolphins my close personal friend um to give you more observations on Senior

Bowl that would be on Monday's podcast. Cannot wait to study this podcast more in depth and give you guys some more content on the draft. Let's go ahead and take our last break comeback on the other side, I want to talk about some players that I think are gonna be very important for the Dolphins. Let's come season or off season program I should say and tell you what I'm watching on the tube. That's next Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.

Final segment here on what I would call a bit of an abbreviated Friday edition of the Drivetime Podcast, talking about those players at the Senior Bowl and in specific position groups there that I think are maybe the more pressing areas of the team right now. Of course, all that could change, but I also wanted to start doing the same thing with this practice that I've been kind of kicking around for a few days here, and it's the idea of certain incumbents that can elevate your roster

to eliminate the need for certain needs. But I wanted to focus on positions I think make the most sense. And again, you know, draft good players and the rest takes care of itself from the draft prospects standpoint, but from a value standpoint and where you need immediate impacts versus where you can develop a little bit. And this is of course before free agency, which can obviously change things, and free agency typically is where you go for the

immediate impact. But I think these positions right now make a lot of sense, and the skill sets of these guys make a lot of sense. Now that's not to say some are not immediate impact guys. I think you could PLoP Henley in and start him tomorrow. I think you can do that with Julius Brents as well a cornerback. I think you can do that with Darnell Right and Cody Mock. The Dolphins off season is interesting to me

because they're close there. They've got to be super intentional about how they spend those premium resources because you're in

a position where you need the payoff. Right. This is always a critical thing, but it's amplified right now given the moves to go get Tyreek Hill, to go get Bradley Chub with those first round picks, which, by the way, can we talk about how smart it is recognize a draft picks value decreasing courtesy of the Niners winning so many football games the last two years and then stopping the process of depreciation by using that pick on a

veteran I mean, we don't trade for Tyreek. We're stuck in the late twenties addressing that position with Christian Watson, he was the next receiver taken. How does two look with Watson and Tyreek's place? Same thing this year? Bradley Chubb or the twenty nine pick. First round draft picks are not all the same. You know which edge rusher you're getting with twenty pick right, at best, the fifth best guy in the draft, probably more like the seventh

eight best guy. So those premium pieces where you probably wouldn't have gotten one otherwise you did. You got a premier, passature, premier receiver. I know you folks are up in you know, kind of disagreement about Bradley Chubb, but we'll see more of that this year, I believe. Uh. Now, another way you can address those spots is incumbent approvement, which brings you back to the original point. It's a vital piece of any team any year. Look at the two Super

Bowl teams right now. Uh starts with Jalen Hurts and Philly. Obviously that's different him being the quarterback. But they also got jumps from guys like Miles Standers. Last couple of years, Landon Dickerson took a big jump, Josh Sweat, t J. Edwards a linebacker. I mean they developed these guys into critical core parts of championship teams. You have to do that same with the chiefs. Lagarious Snee is a massive example of development. That corner position was a huge question mark.

Now you got him and Jalen Watson making plays back there. It's big in house development. So who on this roster could go from relatively unknown commodity to a potential solution. Here's a few names that chew on tight End Tanner, Connor. The whole room you know needs to be reevaluated here, but perhaps Connors athletic ability and rab makeup to learn how to block at the position can become a useful tool,

even if that's as tight End too. I mean adding his athletic ability and playmaking on those flat releases that ran by Durham this year or some of the stick crosser options. You can get improvement in that area and maybe not even sacrifice that much in terms of the split flow, kickout and head up point of attack blocks. And if he got to the level of the previous incumbent, the added the receiving skills would be a massive boon.

So it's not just frontline guys, but if you can reduce our need for tight end two or even tight end three, it would be nice offensive guard. But really left guard Rob Owns and really anybody at the left guard position, to me, you have to address right tackle and if you hit there, you have four really good starters. Teams don't have that, And I think I'm probably letting a competition, which I'm also going to add with a mid round draft pick or mid range free agent occur

for that job. Is that Rob Jones? Is that Leah Meikenberg, Is that Austin Jackson sliding back inside the ladder? Is my preference at swing tackle the middle one and probably a good on And I do wonder about Jones is fit in the system, But I do think the best inherent option you've got is Robert Jones. If he solidified that spot and you can spend on the right tackle. You have your old line in place for a foreseeable future. Maybe it's maybe it's a rookie, maybe it's a free agent.

We'll see wide receiver Eric Aszukama. I think there are other options here to make this work, but like I'd be pretty surprised if we don't get most of, if not all, the receivers back this next year. Surefield to me as a no brainer as Zuokama con factor into that role because he's more dynamic in terms of playmaking at least his makeup than Surefield is or Craig Craft and maybe even Cedric Wilson. So it would allow you to get a similar type of player with an added

receiving element at a reduction in cost. That's basically the key here, right to kind of make these moves and get these progress. You know, this progress to be made to afford yourself bigger swings that guys like Tyreek and Chub. How can we approve the football team with the lowest resource commitment. These guys are cheap and if they emerge, it fills a hole. It's the best best of both worlds.

Linebacker Chaining Tindalls an obvious one would be silly to exclude him, and you don't need a big breakdown on it. He's got the makeup of the modern day linebacker and he can bulk up to be a potential three down, you know, two way, go forward, go backward type of linebacker. It's kind of up to him at this point. Young player hasn't seen much football, but hopefully we get a big jump from him in year two. I'm not gonna assume it, but hopefully we get that safety position Elijah Campbell.

I've been on Elijah's corner here for a while. Worst case to me is safety for and a core special teams player where he could save you a Stempping into that safety three role, although I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense now because that's a big, important role you have to fill, would be a big step to see him do that. But the safety four role I think definitely fits him. And then cornerback Trull Williams. Any cornerback stepping up would be huge because it's such

an expensive position. We don't know what's gonna happen on the Byron Jones front. Trill was a guy that was probably gonna be your top option off the bench. Got hurt in training camp and at the time didn't seem like a big deal, but sure could have used his skill set down the stretch as he had fit in the system. Now he was really a press man guy. Um curious see how that looks going forward. But if he could find a role he's got the physical skills to make it work, would be a big boon for

this football team. So there you go. That's the some players I think could save you in terms of the resource or allocation. With how the Dolphins approached this offseason should be a fun one. A couple of things I'm watching here lately. The only one I got for you, guys is The Last of Us, the episode episode three, the air last Sunday. It's one of the best television episodes I've seen it a long time, Very very good,

well written, well acted. And uh, the guy that adapted that the video game script whatever for television is the same the guy that wrote the Chernobyl series. I didn't know. That was pretty cool and it makes sense. It's such a good show. So that's what I'm watching. No football this weeken, I'm gonna play some golf, excuse me. Looking forward to some some downtime here before the Super Bowl

and then obviously into the offseason. Combine coverage all that fun stuff for you guys coming your way this offseason. Keep it locked here on the Drive Time Podcast.
