Dolphins Free Agent All-22 Breakdown Part 2

into the All twenty two of Miami's free agents. We covered the players outside of the front seven of defense yesterday, and today we're jumping into the revamped front seven of this Dolphins defense. The versatility players that complement one another, and a whole bunch of pass rushing and run defending prowess added here over the last couple of weeks to your Dolphins football team. All of that and more on this Tuesday marks the thirty one edition of the Drivetime

Podcast Dolphins. And just before I came to record this podcast today, I was watching some games on the NFL network and they had some Cowboys games on the channel and I watched all of Byron Jones is All twenty two, but you watch him on the television broadcast version and the guy just gets neglected by the opposing quarterbacks so often that you can't even see him playing because the route down field gets ignored and thirty one gets out

of the screen almost every single time. You gotta watch the All twenty two on that guy to appreciate his game and his greatness, or you can just go back to yesterday's podcast here on the Drive Time and get the full breakdown. We have some fun stuff coming up this week as well, including a special guest from the Dolphins alumni to help us with Throwback Thursday, and then another guest on Friday show who spent an entire day with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. You will not want to miss that.

Neil Reynolds of Sky Sports will join the program. But let's now go ahead and get into the All twenty two and first off before we break down these players individually.

I know this has been a theme we've harped on this podcast and really in my Dolphense coverage over the years several times, but my goodness, the versatility the Dolphins have added to the roster in this free agency period, especially along the front seven, in terms of guys that can play multiple positions, whether it's lining up out wide outside the tight end, condensing down over the inside guard, or over the tackle. A lot of these guys play

multiple positions. They can rush from multiple positions. They can hold the point against the run from those multiple positions. And that's true of the linebacker group. Two of guys who can play on the ball, off the ball, they can stack, they can do multiple things. The theme of this offseason was that versatility, and I think Brian Flores, Chris Career and company really hit it out of the park in that regard. And you also have players who

really complement one another very well. We're gonna talk about the ability to run games up front, whether it's slanting, stunting, or twisting or rushing from those multiple spots, blitzing different gaps.

Just plenty of guys that can really work off of each other's skill sets in terms of the physical power they offer, the lateral agility they offer, as well as some of the nuance and their past rush capabilities and their past rush arsenal and secondary moves once the first move is kind of shut down by the opposing offensive line.

So plenty of versatility, complimentary style guys that can condense inside play out wide, play multiple spots at linebacker, and let's go ahead and start here on the individuals with a player who I think is an absolute steel of assigning for the Miami Dolphins. Every time I plugged his tape in, he was giving the man across from him absolute fits and all they could handle all day long. And I want to reiterate this point here on the podcast. Good tape is not just about getting sacks or pressures

or run stops. You can have a good rep that doesn't go down in the box score. And Emmanuel Ogba has so many reps where that's the case over and over again, where he's just overwhelming the guy that's lined

up right across from him. And I have to imagine playing against Bob is just a miserable day for most Go back to the Lions game from last season, and he gave the right tackle in that game all he could hand Doll constantly putting him on his back side, getting him off balance and taking him down to the ground. And the thing I like most about his tape is the initial shock when he sends his hands across the

bow of the guy in front of him. And in this game, you see that shock just get absorbed, and it completely resets the pass set, it resets the point of attack against the run. Very good tape there for Agba going up against the Detroit Lions last year, and we'll jump back into those tapes and those particular plays

here in just one second. But first, on Aga, the guy has twenty passes batted down in a four year career, averaging five per season, and the length that he displays is so clearly obvious on a down by down basis. His alignments don't impact his effectiveness. Like I talked about earlier, he can condense inside or he can rush outside. And just real quick, in terms of technique positions, you can google this and find it for yourself. Let's go ahead

and go over just real quick. The person that lines up across from the center, right up over the nose, that's the zero technique. You line up across from the guard that's a two technique. Line up over the tackle that is the four technique. And then based upon what shoulder you line up inside or outside of those players, you get your ones, your threes, your fives. And then when you line up out wide with the tight end, depending on where you align on his outsider, inside, shoulder

or head up. That's your six, seven, and nine techniques. But with aug Bah, he can play so many multiple spots, can densing down into that two eye technique. And there's an instance in that Lions game when he is in a two eye technique. It's a third down in seven and he draws a double team. But he's not just drawing the double team. It's holding them up long enough to allow Chris Jones to cross face inside and get a sack in the second quarter of that Lions game.

And if they're taking a double team on you when Chris Jones is inside, what does that tell you about that player's strength and how much the offense fears what

he can do. And I talked about it earlier again, he is just so significant with his hands, whether he's working upfield or trying to prolong the rep by shocking with the initial punch and then kind of stepping back and reading and reacting to play allows him to shock, stack and shed and hold that point of attack and use his eyes to read the play to take him to the football. He can fight off cut blocks because

he has enough athletic ability to do that. And you're gonna have a really tough time leaving him unblocked if you want to run that naked boot, because he can close ground in a hurry and really disrupts those passing lanes again with his length, and he can win off the edge, he can work back underneath, doesn't really get himself beyond the quarterback too often, which is a great

trait to have in an outside pass rusher. So go check out that Lions game and get a look at that Chris Jones sack and you'll see Ogba drawing the double. Team talked about him putting Rick Wagner, the Lions right tackle, on his back a few times. That was in the third quarter of that Lions game with seven twelve to go, just completely overwhelms him and puts him on his back side.

Then you go to the Tennessee game in week number ten, quarter number three, fourteen fifty two, in that third quarters with the first playoff that second half and the first intent play on the minus twelve yard line, and what do the Titans do best all season long? They run the football Derrick Henry and they do it behind that

offensive line with Taylor Lawan, Jack Conklin. They use John wu Smith the tight end in the running game, and on this particular play, Ogballs lineup on the outside shoulder of the right tackle, Jack Conklin, and Smith motions across

the formation. They run it outside to Derrick Henry, and Ogba not only stacks and resets lion scrimmage, putting Conklin backwards a couple of yards into the backfield, he carries him all the way outside and stretches that play all the way to the perimeter and makes the tackle on the ball carrier. Very impressive work, the way he controls the rep and controls the point of attack. Another impressive

running down rep. You go back two weeks prior to that, in the fourth quarter against the Packers, there's four fifty one on the clock. It's the second and four on their own eight yard line, and this time og Ball lines up head up over the right tackle and just the pure power that he plays with overwhelms the tackle and moves him two gaps to the left. And you watch the way he strikes. Initially he displaces the tackle and takes him right into the ball carrier and then

eventually sheds that block and makes the tackle. Very impressive stuff using those arms in those length that length rather and using his strength to stack up, shed and make tackles against the running game. You go to a Houston game earlier in the season, core number three, five minutes to go in that quarter, second and four on the forty six yard line, and this is one of the plays I most like about both Agba and Shaq Lawson,

who will talk about here in just one second. But it's playing the backside unblocked role on the defensive line. When it's running zone read or any kind of shotgun handoff inside, you basically leave that backside guy on blocks and try to make the formation or the mesh point the handoff fool him into taking himself out of the play.

But on this particular instance, the Texans try to bring a player across the formation to cut a manual a bob, but that length and the athletic ability allows him to shed off that cut block and get himself into the gap and make a play on the running down here against the Houston Texans. Very good job beating blocks and

getting to the ball carriers and making the tackles. And again, if you want to see his sacks, his sack real is very impressive as well, had five and a half sacks on the season last year in his ten game We talked about each of those plays in the Emmanuel Ogba interview podcast on the Drivetime podcast a couple of

weeks back. You can go back and check those out, or go to game pass and just pull up his sack reel and to just further unload the notebook here on Emmanual Ogba, there was a play against the Denver Broncos where he lines up across from the center and just completely sniffs out a running play, holding the point of attack on the interior of that defensive line. So we're talking about a guy that can rush from the wide position and then line up over the center and

the nose position and stuff the run as well. And when you see him out on the edge, teams are constantly trying to find a way to create extra gaps, both pre and post nap by motioning a man out there or just changing the look of the formation by going heavy with six offensive lineman. He impacts the game that way, and I love the way that he and

lost and complement each other so well. With that length and ability to really dent the edge and reset the edge, the tackles have to give a lot of ground, and that really opens up the B gaps inside, which is the gap between the tackle and the guard. And then that does what it allows is the blitzers to fire through those A and B gaps because of the space created by those tackles having to set so deep in

their initial pass sets. And don't get this twisted, because Chris Jones is an absolute hell of a player there for the Chiefs. There's a reason they gave him the franchise tag. But oddball really helped him in so many ways. There's a play where the Titans double team Jones and bring the h back across the formation and try to dig out Ogbah, but he's reading the flow of the

play instead of waiting for the block. Ogba uses those hands to strike one of the double team blocks and creates justin left leverage for Jones to reposition and hold the point and make the play on the football, so helping his teammates out that way. And he might have only played four hundred and eleven snaps last year. Ogba did, but that wasn't just ten games. He had games with sixty five, sixty four, forty one, forty and thirty seven reps.

And seven of those ten guys, he's consistently on the field. He's durable and reliable that way, and he really impacts both phases of the game, both the pass and the run game. And then we go over to the other side of the defensive line and see another big signing Miami made this offseason, and really putting them on either particular side of the line is an injustice because they really are agnostic in terms of which side they can

play from, which side they can rush from. And I'm talking, of course about Shaq Lawson, and you see that same power from Shack that you see in Ogba. And while Lawson is not as long, he has a little more wiggle and athleticism going side to side, He's not gonna condense as far inside as Ogba does. You'll see Ogba go all the way over the nose, whereas laws And

usually goes as far as the guard inside. But playing on the opposite side of each other most of the time really helps out, I think, because you can really set either edge with both these guys in the game. He has the hands and the punch to really split double teams and impact the past protection. We talked about the complimentary parts these two guys offer in terms of resetting those tackles, creating big gaps in the B gaps between the guard and tackle because of that pure power.

And you also see the lateral agility in the rave game with all the zone read they run in that offense with Lamar Jackson mark Ingram and the like. And the core component of the zone read game is that you try to give yourself the numbers advantage by leaving a player unblocked. And that player is the quarterback's responsibility, as he can take care of him with his decision to give the football away or keep it himself and

run the ball himself. And Lawson does really well to work that mesh point, recognize what's going to happen, handoff or keep it for the quarterback, square up, and then pull the trigger just as soon as the decision is made by the quarterback. He's got a really explosive first step. Whichever direction he decides to go upfield or slanting inside, he has an ability to cross face and tuck that inside shoulder underneath the punch and stay on balance to get into that B gap and pretty much change the

protection plan of the offensive line. A good example of his run game prowess is the Week sixteen game in New England against the Patriots. The fourth quarter, first play of the fourth quarter, it's a first and tent on the plus fifteen yard line, super super rest of play from Shack Lawson. He's off the outside shoulder of the

left tackle, so playing the five technique position. But the Pats have what's referred to as a nasty split or a tight split, where the receiver is just one gap over from the tackle, so essentially where there could be a tight end in that gap, it's the tight ends not there, so it's vacated, but the receiver is in tight to the formation, and the Patriots dial up a toss play to the outside and want to crack back on Lawson with the receiver, but because he's worked upfield

immediately and initiates the contact on the left tackle, the receiver is essentially left there to just block air. So Lawson beats the guy that's supposed to block him the receiver, and the tackle, who just wants to chip and climb out wide to lead the toss play to the second level, is far too late to get out because Shack set him back so far on the initial punch and Lawson eventually blows the play up for a six yard loss

behind the line of scrimmage. You go back to Thanksgiving against the Dallas Cowboys, second quarter beginning of the game, the opening drive thirteen already three first and ten on the minus forty one. And you remember what I said about teams trying to create an extra gap off a ball side. The same thing is true here with Lawson. The motion went and over to his side, and there's a fullback in the formation. In the offset I to

the same side of the formation again. It's a toss play, this time strong side, and Dallas is thinking, we've got an all pro Tyronn Smith at left tackle here to hit this block. Gonna be a piece of cake, right, That's wrong. Lawson is again in that five tech off the outside shoulder, and this is not an easy block for Tyron Smith. Anytime you have to reach outside like that, it's a challenge even for the best players in the game.

And Smith learns this quickly. On this rep you see Lawson strike and Smith, who plays super low, pops right up get stood up in his stance. That's never a good sign for alignment. This then allows Shack to rework his hands and get outside Smith's pads and make another TfL. Just super, super impressive work against an all pro there and Tyron Smith. How about a game closer to home, we could of him against the Dolphins, second quarter, two,

first and ten on our own ten yard line. And I love this one because it's such a smart play that shows you shacks preparation during the week and getting ready for what he might see in the game and then applying it in the game situation. Laws in again the five technique and he immediately shoots the B gap off the snap like quickly gets in there. You see his right foot moving first, then crossover with the second

step with the left foot. Then he dips that left shoulder under the block of the right tackle and it gets him into the backfield immediately where he then meets the back behind the line for another TfL. Remember he was second in football among all defensive ends and tackles for loss. Go back to Week eight against the Philadelphia Eagles, first quarter, eight thirteen to play first and ten on

the minus seven. This one's a sack and I found it particularly interesting because of the sheer power on display on this play. This time, he widens his alignment with an inline tight end in the formation. The tight end gets into his route immediately, and the left tackle slides into a pass set and tries to deal with a bull rush and narrator here he did not deal well with the bull rush, So the ball is snapped on

the left hash mark. Lawson's lined up on the right hash mark, and the left tackle is right in between the two, almost down the middle, but a little bit closer to the hash mark where Shack is so a solid five or six yards away from where the quarterback winds up, and that's where Shack makes contact. You see the helmet of the lineman once again snap back as he starts to give ground and tries to anchor again. Let's go ahead and hear from our narrator he never anchors.

Lawson walks the tackle into Carson Wentz and literally reaches around either side of the tackle and uses the body and his own arms to get went to the ground for a sack. And the two things I think you really noticed the most about Shack is that when they're in the running game, teams often run away from him

and use him as that unblocked backside edge. Because that basically takes him out of the play without having to worry about blocking him at the point, and the defense kind of falls off in the run game when he's not in there. So his impact is certainly felt. And I'm a really really big fan of the way he takes on backside pulling action from the offensive line from

a tight end, from an h back. Basically, anytime he kind of has to square up and find that backside pull coming his direction, he just brings the heat and brings the heavy punch. When that blocker comes across the formation, he attacks them and does not let them dictate the point of attack. He controls the p o A and makes the play effectively because of that. So a lot

of fun between those two guys to watch. I think those guys working in tandem is going to be a tough pair for teams to deal with running the football off either edge when they're in the game, and speaking of playing off the edge or pretty much anywhere, because this guy can do it all. Kyle van Noy, he wins in a variety of ways. We've talked about it on the podcast, he's talked about it himself. He's been used in multiple different aspects of the defense in recent years.

Played much more exclusively last year as an on ball rusher, played plenty of off ball backer the year before, so Flores has options with that either way. He's a nuanced pass rusher with tremendous feel and a well rounds a game. He can dent the edge as a run defender, and he creates gaps and avenues for his teammates. And you heard him talk about that on the Drive Time podcast when we interviewed him. And even when he is engaged, he can work himself clean with a spin, a chop,

you name it, He's got it in the arsenal. He has the lateral agility to execute games to work up field, then cross face as the looper inside and turn that corner en route to the quarterback. And he also does that well from the edge. A lot of his game is one pre snap as well. You heard Channing Crowder on the podcast a couple of weeks back talk about how the plays are one pre snap and you can

see that a lot in Kyle Van Noy's game. A product and a testament to the preparation of Van Noy, he can often get himself into advantageous positions based on what he saw on the film, and you really see that a lot. As an edge run defender, he'll work up field, overset the tackle, and then use his length and the heavy hands and his eyes as well to work back underneath and close off that B or C gap, depending on where the tight ends aligned on that lay.

It's one thing to set the edge, it's another thing to serve as the inside gap run defender after that edge has been set. And this guy can do both those things. He does a good job gaining depth and with in coverage. He's a sure tackler. He plays the game physically, he plays the game smart, and he plays the game selflessly. And the first rap I have here is against the Titans and the playoffs. One of his sacks last year third quarters six fifty six to go

second down and six on the plus thirty eight. He's in a two point stance and a two four front, and he's off the outside shoulder of the right tackle, so a five technique widened out a little bit there. He slants inside and completely dense the entire side of that line, sending Jack Conklin into his right guard. Tannehill comes off play action with his eyes to the other side of the formation, so van Ney has time to spin off that initial bull rush corner and get to

the quarterback. And not only that, he gets the football out. This guy's sacks come in a variety of ways, very nuanced. And Greg Rosenthal of the Around the NFL podcast, a big Patriots fan, has said for years on that podcast that Van Noy had been the best pure pass rusher the Patriots had as the driving force of that Patriots

pass rush scheme the last several years. And another example of Kyle van Noy getting home in a different position as a pass rusher this time is the first game last year against the Jets and the fourth quarter, nine thirty two play. It's third and fifteen on the minus sixteen yard line, and this is a formation you have certainly seen before. I've heard it called the Radar package.

I've heard it called the Amba package. Different football coaches have different names for their different calls, but essentially what it is is a bunch of stand up rushers that are bluffing at a variety of gaps pre snap, and they eventually settle into a spot and rush from that position.

And Vanoy on this play settles in line to over the left tackle, takes two steps upfield into the B gap, then sticks his foot in the ground, changes directions, and something to understand here is the quality of angles that he takes. You have to have the timing of this down path. And Vanoy does it so well to get the blocker to commit and then changes the launch point and gets them out over their skis. He loops inside, I get skinny between a pair of blocks and finishes

the sack. Accordingly, more good work from the Dolphins linebacker. Week five last year in d C against Washington, the fourth quarter, four twenty to play third down in ten on the minus thirty five yard line, and in the box score, this is a harmless, incomplete pass. Well, mind you, it's a third down pass, so they have to pump the football. But van Noy makes it happen with his rush. He starts up field, then throws a little bluff back inside and that slight hesitation forces one false step from

the right tackle. And if you watch football, you know one false step is all it takes to get beat. And van Noy is so sturdy in his base and keeping his feet under his padge, he's able to plant and explode up field. So if you think this guy is just a linebacker that wins by blitzing, cut the tape on again, because he can win with an arsenal of moves. He can corner and there is just such smooth, fluid movement to his game, and that also comes with

a very nice first step off the snap. And then finally that defensive struggle against the cow Boys back in November, first quarter three to play first and ten on the minus thirty two yard line, Van Noiah has lined up outside the tight end who is Jason Witten here, and the back tries to take the b gap, but that gets filled up quickly, so he looks to bounce outside and vanoia has completely stopped any leg drive from Witton on the play and is just holding him up at

the point the back bounces it outside and Vanoi from there is able to shed the block and make the

tackle three yards behind the line of scrimmage. This guy is gonna come in here, be the leader of the defense and have a huge impact on all the guys around him, guys like Calmu grug A Hill and on the topic of complimentary players, I really like the way he scrapes in the run game, and what this means is essentially working off the hip of the lineman who's taking on a block in front of him, So he stacks and the linebacker scrapes, and the closer he can

stand in tight to that stack, the harder he's gonna be to block for somebody else. And you go to the Seattle game last year for a good example of that. It's in the second quarter to play first and ten on the minus six team yard line, and Seattle is in the gun and runs a little zone read with Russell Wilson and Chris Carson, and Carson takes the handoff and looks to bounce it backside where kg H is staying stacked behind the block. He then scrapes it, finds

the football and makes the play. There's another example of that against the Jets last year, quarter number two to play first and ten on the minus nine. This time he stacked behind the five technique the defensive end and he lets that d ND take on the block and k H stays in tight on his back. But there's a problem here. The Jets have big old number seventy

eight aligned in an eye formation as a fullback. That's an offensive lineman and he tries to lead the play and kg H engages the block, works the upfield shoulder, disengages and makes the stop for a TfL. How about his coverage skill set. You heard him on Drive Time talk about how he really thinks that he can take his coverage game to the next level. And you go to the first play of the game in Miami last year.

The Dolphins win, but the first player of the game was a win for the Eagles defense, and a lot of that had to happen because of Cammu grug A Hill. He's in an off ball linebacker position to the boundary, which is the short side of the field. You're gonna hear me talk about boundary and field on this podcast a lot, and I want to go ahead and make

it very clear what that means. The boundary is the short side in terms of if the balls in the left hash mark, the left side of the field is the boundary and the wide side of the field, where there's more space is the field. So short side, boundary, wide side is the field. COMMU right here in this play is lined up to the boundary with the two man route combination. The receiver and the running back over there with Parker and the tailback, and you see a

lot of variations of slant flat from this alignment. The receiver runs a slant route, the running back goes to the flat. It puts that linebacker in some peril, and in this instance, the running back makes a chip and then gets out into the swing route of the pattern, and Gruge Hill does a great job getting depth into the hooks own the area where you're gonna run curls and hook routes over the middle of the field, but

also eyes the back who then chips and releases. K g H gets right into the lane and actually clips Davonte Parker on this play and the past gets picked off. It's not defensive pass interferings because he has his eyes in the quarterback and you see the instincts there to get the depth to get to the right landmark and be in the right position to really impact the passing lane. You go back to a play in the Patriots game last year and you get another look at his instincts.

Second quarter five oh one to play first and tent on the plus twenty one yard line. It's a screen pass, and what's most impressive about this play is nobody else on the field guards a specific man. They all fall into a spot, so you gotta think of the zone coverage. And it's not like Gruge Hill is keen the back and man coverage. Here, he just reads the flow of the play and pulls his trigger with anticipation, knife's in under a block and makes the stop. Again, these guys

win with preparation. And then obviously you've got the special teams work and Gruge Hill he's no different than everybody else Miami signed this year in free agency, and that they all play one miles per hour at all times, covering punts, covering kicks, on the return teams. It's all will and he wins with that will. And then my last here is another linebacker, another player drafted in the same class with Brian Flores on the staff, and he

landed Roberts. And if you heard the interview a couple of weeks back here on the Drivetime podcast part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, you heard me ask a Landon about some of his college tape at Houston and how he was everywhere playing both the run and the past.

And he made it a point to talk about how Flores was there with him at his pro day, and of course his position coach, thevery new England clearly a lot of love between those two guys, so you immediately feel good about the role that Flores might have in mind for his new linebacker. And that's true of Gruge Hill as well. And those Patriots linebacker rooms over the years have always been well stocked, and Roberts has been

an integral part of those good linebacker groups. And since Flow talks so much about the three core pillars of the game, blocking, beating blocks, and tackling, it takes all of one play to see why coach loves this guy. Physical, physical, physical, He knows nothing else. The first Rep I pull up is pure power from the Titans offense. It looked like my pee wee days. Everybody line up in line, will put one receiver out there just for the hell of it.

Two tight ends of the strong side, one tight end of the week side, and Roberts has lined up just off the outside shoulder of the right guard on the strong side of the play, and he's uncovered no defensive lineman in front of him, and that guard tries to work to the second level for a down block, but Robert dishes out the hit, sticks a foot in the ground, uses the off hand to throw the guy off of him, shakes off the block, and squares up for Derrick Henry

and makes the tackle. So you have that video evidence of him filling that stacked linebacker position nicely as he doesn't get caught up with false steps. He's got a really quick trigger and the instincts to know where the play is going before the ball is snapped. And I love the complimentary part. Once again, we heard Floress talk last year about how every week is a new game plan and you might ask guys to play a different

role than the week prior. Well, if you run into a team like let's just go ahead and use last year's best rushing attack in football in the Baltimore Ravens, you play a team that wants to play smash noal football for sixty minutes. Roberts is a terrific equalizer to that style of ball. But he'll do it when he's not stacked as well, like this play against the Bengals, first quarter, eight minutes to play first and ten on

the plus fifteen yard line. He comes down on the football and lines up head up over the guard and outstanding work to get everything aligned before he shoots his shot at the guard, so to speak, before he throws that punch. And I remember Flow talking about this at camp last year. He said, the basics of football from peewee to high school to college to the pros. They never change feet, under your hips, hips under your shoulders, shoulders under your eyes, everything all aligned, going in the

same direction. And this rep is teaching tape example of just that. The guard tries to lean into the block and Robert says, not so fast, my friend, and just wax him, stands him straight up, tosses him aside, and makes the tackle right there at the line of scrimmage. This guy is gonna make Pad's pop at training camp

this year. I can't wait to see it. And I tweeted this three part photo of a pass rush from Roberts in the Eagles game, second quarter eight fourteen second down and six on the minus twenty six yard line. Roberts and Jamie Collins are lined up in either a gap.

They're on the outside shoulders of the center, and they run what's called a cross dog blitz from there, where they basically just crossed over the center and blitz the quarterback and they switch their a gaps With that blitz, Collins cross his face, which creates a lane for Roberts to run through as the second cross dog blitzer, and he comes screaming down the pipe with only miles standers

between he and the quarterback. Roberts lowers the boom and just steam rolls him and gets once to the ground for the sack. And for good measure, let's go ahead and get a pass coverage wrapping here as well. Fourth quarter in Washington, it's first and ten on the minus thirty five yard line. He's in coverage against tight end Jeremy sprinkle Man up on a speed out route, a

five yard out route. He gets in the hip pocket, reaches the outside hand around and breaks up the football right at the catchpoint so he can do it all

as well. All these guys are multifaceted players. The great part about these additions you can see exactly where they align with what Flores has been preaching for over a year now, and that of course is smart, tough discipline, players who are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to become great, guys who really care about the game and how they approach it, but also in their physical skill sets. Guys that can contribute in all aspects of the game

offensively or defensively. Guys that can play on special teams, and a pinch guys that allow Flores to be multiple man. I cannot wait to get out there on that practice field and watch this team come together. It's gonna be a fun one and that will do it for us. On this edition of the Drive Time podcast, we're gonna take Wednesday off on the show and come back Thursday with Throwback Thursday. We're gonna talk to a member of the Dolphins Ring of Honor on that podcast. You don't
