Drive Time - Ice Cream and Training Camp Lessons

this one a little bit brief. It's a busy weekend down here in Davy and across the NFL cut down day Tomorrow, We're gonna have you guys covered on tomorrow's top news story on Miami Dolphins dot Com tracking all the cuts and transactions, So keep it locked there for the latest on your Miami Dolphins. As far as today's podcast, we're gonna hear from Coach Flores, a trio of Dolphins players. Plus we wet our NFL season whistle with the NFL Dolphins Year book from twenty team that is up now

on YouTube. I watched it last night. We're gonna talk about that, all of that and more on this Friday, September the four edition of the Drive Time podcast. Let's go ahead and jump now right into Brian Flores as Friday morning media availability. We are now just nine days away from kickoff in New England. Coach filled questions about New England. He also filled some questions about cut down

Day this weekend. Plenty of content and here let's go ahead and turn it over to coach Flores as we start with one of the toughest aspects of this job for coaches and GMS and people involved in the league, cut down day. Who has to go find the player to tell them they're gonna come up and see coach and see the GM. Here's Coach Flores on that process

on cutdown Day. Well, we look as we got some young let's call it personnel, you know, people who who are handling at you know, as far as who's having that first conversation with the players, then obviously they talked to Chris and then they talked to me. You know, that conversation is not a it's not an easy one. It's a it's a delicate situation. Obviously, the guys are

disappointed who or being released. Um I try not to tell them that their their their dreams are over, but I do tell them that Hey, when one door closes, normally another one opens up. UM. And I try to be supportive and you know, give them some good feedback that could help them, um in their next endeavor. UM. You know, out of cases, UM, you know, this opportunity to bring guys back to the practice squad. Um. If

that's the case, we'll we'll have them know that. UM. But you know, we're just trying to be respectful and supportive and honest. And I think that's always the best way to to handle, you know, a tough conversation like that. And by now we are all familiar with how those conversations tend to go based upon what we see on a hard knocks. We saw it one year here with the Dolphins back in We just saw some of it with the Chargers and Rams on this year's hard knocks.

Always tough conversations there, as coach says, and speaking of a strange season here with cuts and practice squad and roster spots. Coach was next asked about the strategy of the to squad this year being expanded and if they're going to have different approaches to it this year compared to years past. I think we have conversations on every situation. But as far as strategy from for the practice squard,

I think the additional practice squad players. I mean, we've had a lot of conversations about, um, you know who we would want on that and that's only that's almost its own kind of roster itself. How many a linement, how many corners, how many receivers. So as far as there is a strategy on what day, no, you know to be To be honest, I think we're just gonna kind of go through the normal process and everyone who

we release, we know that they're there. Um, they're out there to potentially get claimed, and um if they do get claimed, and um, we gotta move on to the next guy on our list. So um strategy standpoint, I would you know? But again, and that's honestly, that's probably more of a question for Chris Chris Brandon in the in the in the Scott Department, the comma they're about it being kind of its own roster in an of itself.

It kind of reminds me of the plea from so many fans I've seen over the years to have some sort of developmental process or developmental league. The practice squad this year with six team players can certainly serve as a kind of minor league system type of deal. We can call guys up on a given week. Of course, we have the two call ups that guys can dress

off the practice squad every single week. It's going to be really fascinating to see how this plays out over the course of the season and how that practice squad is in fact utilized. Up next, coach was asked about the coming weekend of cuts and how active they'll be, and of course, coach says, it just depends who's going to be out there. Depends on who's out there, who's available, and look, we look at everyone and if we feel like there's a player out there that that can help us,

then we have those conversations. You know, last year is you know, it's different than this year. So we'll see, Um, you never know who's gonna be on the wire, who's gonna get released, who's gonna become available. UM. I don't want to kind of pigeonhold us and say hey, we're just you know, we're good, we're we're we're at um because if we can get better, we're going to try to get better. That's I think that's gonna always be

the approach. And so now we've heard from Gerald Alexander, We've heard from Josh Boyer, from Eric Row, Bobby McCain, Noah Egnogamy, pretty much every single defensive back and coach in that room has talked about the point system for rewarding ball or players getting their hands on footballs and practice. Here's coach Floores weighing in on the points system for takeaways and hands on footballs in the defensive back room

and just takeaways in the NFL in general. I mean, look, turnovers, I mean they're they're hugely important a lot of cases a decided factor between wins and losses in this league. So we're very uh conscious of obviously trying to secure the ball offensively and in the kicking game and try to take it away offensive eb seeing the defensively and in the kicking game. Uh, it's something we tried to spend a lot of time on and we'll turn over

is the better chance of victory. So look, my my my message to our staff was anyway we can create more urgency, more energy, more competition, and maybe a competitive point system, that's if that's what does it have more emphasis on trying to create turnovers and it works and I'm all forward. So as far as the state of where we're at, uh, you know, that's I'll let g A handle that. Josh and defensive staff. Next, coach answers the question about selecting captains and how the process of

that works here under his watch in Miami. It's player voted. I think that's the right way to do it and allow the players to select who who they feel are, you know, the leaders on the team, UM that they want to uh speak for them. Uh, because those captains. You know, we have captains meeting every week and we have conversations about everything from the schedule, to game plan to any any issues surrounding the team. So UM, I think that's where the players make the selection. And I

talked to him about that and the role of the captains. Um, it's not just on the field, which that's part of it also, but it's on and off the field, a locker room, you know, anything that they feel like they need, on off scheduling. I mean, there's it's it's a big role. I think it's a it's an important choice for the players. I try to make mention of that as well. Um, not. It's not a popularity contest. It's this is a serious kind of um position, and they should, they should, they

should take it seriously. And now we get a football question as coach is asked about the decision the Patriots announced earlier in the week to go ahead and name Cam Newton the starting quarterback for that Patriots offense Week one. How, just nine days away, here's coach Flor's talking about the preparation before the announcement and the preparation post announcement, and how you gotta be ready for every single player on

the roster of your opponent every week. I think we all had an inkland that that was going to be the case, so when we were preparing for all three quarterbacks, so uh, and we will still continue, We'll still do that.

I mean, you always got to prepare for the backup, and you have to know who the third the third quarterback is if if there is one um the same at all positions, you know you need to you want to know who the old line is and all the backups are on the old line, and who the D line are is and all the backups are on the D line. So but you know, with him being named the starter. UM. I mean, we've watched a lot of

film on camp. I will continue to do that, but we'll also watch whole Coyer instead him and you know the rest of the guys on the team, they're very talented, they're you know, obviously the world coach team. It's hard to win on the road, so we'll uh, it's a it's a it's it'll be a challenge. We know that the matter who the quarterback is will be a challenge

against against that team. And we'll go ahead and wrap it up here with Coach answering a question regarding the rumors that we all saw on Thursday about the Josh Rose and potentially being open for a trade. Here's Coach telling you that this time of year, calls are coming in left and right. It's all about improving the roster, getting better, and Chris Career's phone is going to be off the hook the next couple of days. Here's Coach on that rumor and this time of year again, the

phone off the hook. I think it's the day before cut cut down day, and I think there's a lot of names are floating around UM and we're feeling calls left and right, or I know, Chris's um about Josh and you know, probably a handful of other players, and I think that's the case across the league as far as you know. To us, you mentioned, you know, we

have no decisions have been made. We're just trying to go We're gonna go out him and practice today and make the decisions you know, on on on the roster tomorrow. But yeah, I mean there's we're taking fielding calls on everybody, um, not everybody, but on on a handful of players, and I think every team is doing the same thing. But again, Josh has competed, Josh has made some some great throws. Josh is you know, I think I think he's gotten better over the course of training camp. So I mean

that's where we are with him. And so there he goes Coach Flores. We'll hear from him again tomorrow morning. Ahead of cutdown today it is a four pm Eastern. You have to get your roster's finalized and then from there, of course you're gonna have a flurry of action with transactions. Waiver Wire claims practice squad resigning, tons of action going on on the roster this weekend, one week out from the start of the NFL season, and with that comes

the NFL yearbook story we see every single year. Now. I recalled these being on ESPN back in like May or maybe June of every single summer, and it was like appointment viewing back then that voice over the season highlight. They always find a way to paint your team in a positive light and give you hope for the future. And that's what they still do on these broad on these programs rather and I had a chance to catch the Dolphins episode last night on YouTube. I think it's

only available on YouTube now. The story of the twenty nineteen Miami Dolphins titled just the Beginning, of course, for Brian Floress comment after the Patriots game last season saying, this is just the beginning, trust me on that one. I want to go ahead and talk about a few of these moments here. First, let's play some sound from coach flores at the very start of this episode. And I text my buddy Kevin Dern at Kevin m D four on Twitter. We know who he is, and he

showed me the video was up. I text him and said, all right, man, I'm gonna text you in twenty minutes because I'm all the way in on this show. I'm gonna go ahead and focus on it. I'll get back to you in just one second, but I want to go ahead and play the clip here, the opening of this episode from NFL Films and show you why it grabbed me in the first five or six seconds or so listening to Coach Flora's on the field at training camp last year, showing some of the intensity that he displays.

Let's go now where we're going, No, where you're going on a hop? Know where you're going on a hop. Let's gonna keep it going on, Keep the pressure on, keep the pressure on. What are we gonna do? D what are we gonna do? On defense? For the Miami Dolphins, two nineteen marked a new era under the leadership of first year head coach Brian Flores. We're competing now, we're competing. So get on YouTube and go check out that show.

It's it's always very well done, very well. We produced a bunch of good highlights and audio and voice over in music. It's just always a fun program to watch. And you hear Coach Flora's on this podcast every day in his media availability. Very calm, very measured approach, very kind, of showing you more of that intellectual side, the thinking side of Brian Flora's then you get amount on the football field and the intensity meter just cranks way up.

I've talked on this podcast many many a time, and this is you know, commonplace across the National Football League. There is urgency and practice. You're gonna have coaches getting on guys. But I've talked on this podcast so many times about the crispness of Brian flores practices, Guys getting in and out of drills quickly. They're ready at the start of the period to begin the drill. In football, we talk all the time false steps. Right a linebacker

takes a false step. One wrong step can get you out of position and can be the difference in a three yard gain on a tackle or him breaking that tackle and going seventy yards to the house. And so any false step, any false movement, any wasted time is so valuable in this league and especially this season, and you just don't have that on this practice field. Guys are bouncing around on the hoppice, Coach Flora says, competing

play in and play out. Another clip from the show that I was absolutely in love with was a brief moment between Brian Flores and Bryan Fitzpatrick in a game. I couldn't tell which game it was. We were at home in the white jerseys with the Aqua seats in the background. There are at hard Rock Stadium, and Flora's approaches Fitzpatrick on the sideline with a comment about a read or something he saw on a previous play. You're

gonna hear him talk about it right here. Let's go ahead and roll the audio, just the very first one here. I'm okay with that, but it split Sam. That's beautiful. I just wanted to show you that because I love the communication between the head coach and the quarterback. Even though Brian Flores has a defensive background in his coaching career, he also did coach as an offensive assistant in New England as well, so he does have that well verse background.

We've talked about it on this podcast so so many times. But I also was thinking about, you have a defensive mind like Brian Flores, for instance, who once called a Super Bowl game plan that allowed the Rams, the number one scoring offense in the league, to score just three points. You have a defensive mind like that, who can kind of show the quarterback and talk to the quarterback about, Hey,

here's maybe what you're seeing. Here's what I'm seeing from the defensive perspective, how I would attack you in the situation. Here's how you should attack this too high structure. As you hear him say, they're the too deep safety, the split safety look on that play, fitz Patrick kind of comes back to him and says, here's what I saw. It's an open dialogue and open conversation. And we see

this in the NFL all the time. Right, we talked about Sean McVeigh and and Jared Goff, Sean Payton and Drew Brees almost got off track there, Doug Peterson and Carson Wentz, all these offensive minded coaches with their quarterbacks and the importance of that relationship between head coach and quarterback. But it works on the defensive side of the ball too,

for the exact same reasons. Like I mentioned, you can have a coach that has this defense of knowledge, that can approach the situations from a defensive perspective and give the quarterback a different look, a different thought. And for a quarterback who's been now in his sixteenth year in the NFL to have that perspective when he has all those years of knowledge and cadences and plays in his mind and tape study and different thoughts from different coaches.

Giving that defensive perspective from your head coach, I think is very beneficial for the quarterback and for the offense. Now, let's go ahead and finish up here with one more clip at the end of this episode and at the end of the twenty nineteen season that ended in Foxborough. Alright, the process of preparation all that, it counts, alright, So you get moments like this that hard work, all right, this joy and hard work, and this is it, righty.

I'm just telling that right now, alright, and this is just the beginning. Trust me on that. There definitely is joy and hard work. I think we all can agree to that accomplishing things for yourself. Nothing makes you feel more sense of a pride and more sense of accomplishment than putting in the work and achieving something, especially in

a business as difficult as the NFL. Before we get to player media availability, I want to go ahead and go through my predictions for the season, my division winners and playoff teams and Super Bowl pick. We're gonna start in the NFC in the West, with a surprise Arizona Cardinals winning the West, New Orleans Saints winning the NFC South. Minnesota Vikings take the NFC North, and the Cowboys take the East. We have three wild card teams this year.

This time around, I'm gonna take the Philadelphia Eagles, the Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco forty Niners. In the a f C, I'm taking the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs to repeat in the West. Give me the Colts in the South, the Ravens in the North, the Dolphins in the East. Give me the Bills, Browns, and Titans as your a f C wild card teams. And in the Super Bowl, I'm not gonna get flashy. Here, go back

to the Chiefs. Give me Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid run that thing back, and we're gonna have the Saints with Drew Brees make one last hurrah, Chiefs over Saints in the Super Bowl. We start player media availability with Dolphins safety Eric row, who was first asked about the competition in the dB room getting their hands on Football's the point system we've heard about for the last couple

of weeks. Here's Eric row on the update on the point system for takeaways among defensive backs and Dolphins training camp. It's actually being uh today this afternoon. It's being uh, it's being revealed today the final, the final, the final total, because we only kept points to training camp and I guess technically, says Camp Broke. So we're getting the final total to day. And last time, last time I checked, the corners were up. But we you know, a safety.

We we we made a lad We made a good push the last couple of days for training Camp Brokes. And of course Eric Rowe, who had the big pick six in New England last year, is one of several ex Patriots heading back up there for this week one game. Eric was asked about Kyle van Noy and the preparation going into the place where they used to play. M mean,

it's been good. I mean he brings instant leadership, obviously, the deepness that he you know, he already knows and he'd run before, so bring it's the leadership and experience in the edge kind of and you know, we're hoping this year. You know, last year we've got up to a really slow start on defense and kind of with him coming in, he already knows the defense, you know, already has experienced, had it, and his leadership, we should

get a faster start. Pretty interesting perspective there from Eric Rowe talking about the communication and the familiarity in the defense helping the Dolphins hopefully to get off to a faster start. We revert now back to the question that was asked earlier about the takeaway board, the hands on Football's points system and the dB room. Here's Eric Rohan, who's leading that competition right now, And if anybody come

up to Bobby McCain, the Dolphins safety. I can't remember like one point, but yeah, like he had a coup picks. I had a couple of picks. Uh, shoot the corners. I remember one that they had. They had a nice, nice number of path breakups and that that kind of got him and they kind of got in my head. But you gotta ask the next time. But because you know this afternoon we're gonna have the final total, and it's always good to get a scouting report from your

smarter offenders on defense about the opposing quarterback. Here's Eric Rowe talking about two a tongue Byaloa and what he's showing in camp. And what makes him difficult to defend as a safety. I mean he has an arm I mean, he has an army. He could put he could put the zip on the ball. Mean, I noticed to camp he's gotten better with his eyes because you know, sec you know, we just kind of read the quarterback and kind of beforehand he was just kind of staring down

at foot. He's got he's gotten a lot better with his eyes and kind of, you know, from from the defensive side, from what I could tell, you know, his progression. So obviously he's only gonna keep getting better. But it makes them hard to defend, is I mean, that's that's kind of, you know, tough to answer, and something he probably can't answer a little easier is evaluating his own

defensive back room. Here's Eric row on, Xavian Howard and other defensive backs in that dB room of the Miami Dolphins. From from what I see, x X looks like he's he's getting back to form. Obviously, it's gonna be you know, a little rush in the beginning because he hasn't played since I think you went out whenever we played Pittsburgh that Monday night game, you know, a long time ago. So I mean, he's he looked like he's getting back to form. So I mean, it's it's great to have

him back, you know, another experienced cornerback there. But with the stop position, I mean obviously, I don't know. I mean it's it's competitive, like both both guys are you know, they're all making plays in the slot. So obviously you know, I'm not the one sitting the depth chart, but from what I've seen, it's it's been pretty competitive. Hey, Eric, what's up man. Last we talked to you, you mentioned that you can't really go out in the off season and get four or five guys together to work on,

you know, fitting the run. I'm curious, now that you've had some time in camp, how's that progression been for you so far this off this training camp. Uh, it's been a lot better from from the beginning till I mean even now, Uh, you know beforehand. Now I'm having a better feel of you know, if I see some tackle pools or guard pools or you know, stuff like that, and which way the backers are kind of you know,

they're spilling blocks. It's gotten a lot better for me. Obviously, you know it to see the live live action, but you know for right now practice and even during the scrimmage. You know, I'm getting a little more comfortable with it. And we'll go ahead and finish up here with Eric with a question about tackling and who might have the advantage over the long absence of live action games no preseason, the offense or the defense. Here's Eric's answer. I mean, yeah,

it definitely goes both ways. I mean we got yeah, I haven't done a live tackle. Oh yeah, in a while. We'll hit that up. You know, we'll have some good hits. But you know, going to the ground and you know, play after play, you know, if it's playing at I mean, that's a different type of condition. And choot. I mean on the other side, they haven't got you know, tackled, you know, going to the ground or uh, you know, calling for sacks you know, you know, whenever we get

you know, good pass rush. So it goes both ways. But I mean, yeah, he's not lying like we haven't gone to the ground yet. Today's pressors were a lot of fun, man, and this Austin Jackson one was definitely one of the funds I've been a part of because all the reporters kind of got involved about this initial answer he gives. Austin gives about his pregame ritual, the pre night routine. He goes through how it involves ice cream, and that really set a precedent for the rest of

the press conference. Here's Austin Jackson on his pregame routine, pregame rituals, and any superstitions he might have before the game starts. Uh. Yeah, A big, a big part of my routine. And you know in college was just just every night at the team hotel. I would uh do treatment before you know, when you got the team ice cream at the hotel. Um, so I should be able to still do that. Um, it's a new schedule for me. But um that's really my biggest, my biggest, uh superstition.

I guess I had to do that every before every gain. Here you go, folks, some hard hitting ice cream analysis from Dolphins Tackle Austin Jackson. Definitely I stay away from strawberry, strawberry and cookies and cream. I I keep it real, real simple. You know, just a little bit of chocolate, a little bit, a little bit of vanilla, a little bit of fudge and maybe some oreoles on top. This

real simple, A little bit back to football. Here, Austin Jackson was asked about the relationship between he and Eric Flowers, two big additions on that offensive line this offseason, two guys that have been putting in a lot of work here at practice after practice, and two guys that really looked apart on the Dolphins offensive line. Here is Jackson's comment about the chemistry between he and Eric Flowers. You know, he's entering his six years in the league, so he's

definitely somebody I look up to. You know, he has a lot more knowledge about things and how things goes, and he's just real helpful. And he's definitely somebody you know I look up to on the on line. We look up to and it helps, you know, him playing right next to me, so you know, just getting to work with him and pick his brain about stuff. Um, it's really helpful. I'll go ahead and cast my vote for chocolate devotion from Cold Stone Crew, where you're just

gonna go ahead and throw that out there. You gotta go with that chocolate the way to go. Um. I do want to go back to the football question though here, like like Cam did there and follow up, you know, just kind of fifteen or so practices in now. I'm just curious if there's any particular thing, whether it's your pass sets or getting better drive off the ball in the running game, what's one thing you really focus on

and you think can prove so far? In training camp, the biggest, biggest thing for me was just picking up the playbook and training camp, you know, making sure my technique is specific, consistently specific, um, so you know, whatever the scheme I'm trying to do. So I think my consistency is like the biggest things that picked up over training camp, you know, um, just doing what I need to do consistently over and over and over again to the point where it's muscle memory. So that's probably a

big thing for me. Something you hear a lot in this profession, in this business is that you have to become comfortable with the mundane because there are so many days. You get one game day a week, right, there's so many games or so many days rather in between where you're working on stuff that just isn't that much fun

to do. So how great is it to hear Austin Jackson talk about muscle memory and the willingness to put the work in every day and just repeat that work over and over again for twenty one year old kid. Very impressive. Great answer there, I thought from Austin Jackson, Let's get back to offensive line ice cream questions. Specifically, how much would he need to bring to feed the entire offensive line room for all the linemen. You gotta bring enough for all the offensive lineman, right, yeah, I

guess I do. Honestly, I probably say about three three, two and a half two and a three three gallons, just to be safe. Not everything is gonna get taken, but you know, three just to be safe. And here you get Austin Jackson evaluating the relationship between he and Steve Marshall on the offensive line and what specific things that makes Marshall a good coach for him and the right guy for this offensive line room. Again, another really interesting insight here from Austin Jackson. I think he he's

good at it. It's just knowing what a lot of guys do and understanding that, you know, everybody is different, and so you know, with me, he's been really good with working individually on you know, what I need to work on, and in terms of what other people to look at, you know, I'd say pretty much I've looked at um like guys like Tim Smith totally one uh big print of in San franc Um, a little bit of Ronnie Stanley, just pretty much all the all the

tackles at the league. Just kind of adding to my toolbox seeing what everybody does and you know, creating my own you know, my own rhythm and my own set of tools. So you get some comparisons there across other players on the offensive line, other tackles across the NFL that he tries to study and emulate what they do well in their games. They're some more good insight from Austin Jackson. Will finish up here with an evaluation across the ball from Shackle Lawson and what Lawson has done

to help Jackson's game improve. Lawson Jackson, those names get kind of intertwined together, but here he is talking about defensive end Shack Lawson and how he's helped Jackson's game grow and improve a lot. You know, Shack is Shack is a great rusher and he's one of the game one of those older guys who's been around the league for a while. So um, he's been pretty good at, you know, just pulling tools out of the toolbox. Randomly, you know, randomly throwing new stuff in and uh, Scott

may get a lot better. So uh yeah, I think it's definitely helped a lot and I've got a lot better. I gotta be careful there, Austin calling these guys the old guys in the room there. I had a similar experience earlier with Jay Fiedler on the Flashback podcast that will come out next Friday here on the Drivetime podcast. I don't get to check that out next week before

the game up in New England. Let's go ahead and finish up here with Dolphins defensive end Emmanuel Ogba, who evaluated our previous guest, Austin Jackson and his performance so far as in Miami Dolphins. Austin is doing a tremendous job. I know him and Shock been going at him, and also I've been doing at it with him too. He's been doing a pretty good job and you know, working,

you know, getting better every day. You know, they have a guy like me and Shock you know, help him out, giving him some tips to as well, so he's doing a good job for us. Next, Oggball was asked about the Patriots naming Cam Newton. They're starting quarterback and his experience is going up against the former m v P. I've played cant once in my career, and yeah, it's gonna it's gonna be a dog. You know, he's a former m v P and they got a good quarterback man.

We're just gonna be ready. You know, it depends what coach boy has him in mind for it as far as game plan. You know, we're gonna be ready to go. Back on the other side of the ball, ogg Bab was asked to evaluate the performance and the presence so far of new Dolphins linebacker Kyle van noy. Here's oddball

on Kyle van noy. Yeah, he brings that leadership. You know, he's he's uh familiar with the system, so you know he kind of helps younger guys too, the kind and just bring guys together and just tell them to tell us, like, we gotta keep working, we gotta keep getting better. Up next. Emmanuel was asked about which player on the Dolphins defense, talking about guys like Kyle Van Noy, Land and Roberts, who's been the most vocal, who brings the most energy

to that defense. He answer, I mean it's a it's a bunch of guys you know we got Era. You know we got you know, you know you got shocked. You know he's always loud and out spoken. Um, you know, Um, we just got a lot of guys you know that come together, that you just know how to work together and play together. So good group of guys here. We could be as good as we want to be right now. We're taking a one steps, one step at the time, you know, working together, getting better together. Um, you know,

just doing our work, doing our job. You make your player and make my play, you know, sitting the edge, you know, taking care of the deep ball, deep part the field. Just doing our part. Each of us individually just have to do our part, and we could be as good as the one. And let's go ahead and finish up here with a Dolphins pass rusher with a question about two a ton of looa Dolphins wikie quarterback and what makes him difficult to defend on the defensive side.

So I mean, you still gotta watch out for you know, he could scramble on and he's pretty fast, pretty mobile, so you gotta watch that too. As far as he has a nine deep ball too, and nine he throws the ball really well, so you gotta you gotta do your best to stay contained. You got keeping him, keep him in the poppy or you might get out. And there you have an Emmanuel Ogba, Austin Jackson, and Eric Rowe.
