I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and I'm here to bring you your daily dose as it has been lately of Miami Dolphins football each and every day. And on today's show, we're gonna cover Day three of

the draft. We're gonna get to know Laurnel Coleman and Jared Doakes, the running back out of Cincinnati and the offensive tackle out of you Mass Dolphins trade out of the fifth round pick up additional draft capitol next season, we'll cover that. We're also going to cover the media from Day two with coach Flores and with Chris Greer as well as Javon Holland, Liam Eichenberg and Hunter Long the tight end out of Boston College to wrap up the media for Day two. All of that and more

on this edition of the Drive Time Podcast. Another busy day ahead of us here on the podcast. Let's go ahead on this Day three recap podcast, just as we did on Day two with the previous day's media availability. To start this thing off here with the question I asked for Chris Greer and Brian Flora's regarding Javon Holland and his playmaking ability. Chris answered the question first, and then Coach Flora's gave us a follow up. Yeah, he's a very smart, instinctive football player, has been a very

productive player. You know, he's also been a punt returner. There was you know, we talked about too, But at the end of the day, this guy just has a nose for the football. But it was his football intelligence and getting to know the kid that stood out as well. And so you know, um, I think for us, you know, going through this with Brian and so we're really excited.

You know, we're nervous that this player may not get there because you know, there are a lot of but I really liked his player and we heard after make to pick, we got numerous calls and texts, and so I think for us, I'm adding a player of that caliber, you know. You know, Brian and I were really excited, and you know, our defensive staff it was really happy. So we're happy to have him. And I think he's got a good player and a good chance that to

be a good player. For us. Yeah, Javan was one of the honestly, my my, my favorite players to watch. Very versatile, played inside, played safety, UM, punt return. Um. You know, I think you mentioned that Travis a lot of ball production. So you know, we're excited to to get him and work with him, and I think we'll be He'll he'll be a great fit for for our team. I want to go ahead and pick it up on a later question for coach Flora's back talking about Javon Holland.

Here he is talking about the skills that he loves in the Dolphins new safeties game. I really enjoyed watching this this Javan Plague. Um. And you know, for a lot of reasons, said the way he tackled, the way he defeats blocks, Um, his versatility, played some nicole, played some deep safety. UM, there's a lot of things to like. So UM. You know, again, I'm not into comparisons, but I feel like he'll be a good fit for what we do. UM. And you know, I think he's got

leadership qualities. I think he's got um no ability to can communicate and really quarterback of defense because he's smart and uh, I mean, I'm excited to have him, and um, you know we'll see you know, I'll get an opportunity and to to to earn a role on his team. And you know, I'm hopeful that he can, you know, feel multiple roles and if he can even handle it, then we'll do it. And if you can't, and then you know, we'll work with him until he can. So and I broke down his game on the Day to

Recap podcast yesterday and full transparency. I was up until two am watching more tape on him because I love, love, love this kid's game. Those of you that have been with me for the whole ride with Lockdown Dolphins and now Drive Time know that safety has been one of my more successful positions for scouting purposes. I love Derwin

James and Minca Fitzpatrick. That's that same year I loved Jesse Bates and Buddha Baker, a pair of Pro bowlers or should be Pro bowlers in the National Football League. I was the driver of the Antoine Winfield bandwagon last year, and Javon Holland is that guy this year. He's multiple, he's instinctive, he is a hell of a playmaker. I won't go in on it because I already discussed this on the previous podcast, but I have a feeling we're gonna be talking about this guy a lot this summer

and going forward. How about the trade up for Liam Eichenberg at pick number forty two, Dolphins go from fifty up to forty two. Here's Chris Greer on the thinking behind that trade. I think for us when we made the trade, um, we knew there was gonna be a run of offensive lineman. As you saw in that second round, there was a big run of offensive lineman, and so for us, it was important to get up. You know, it's it's been a lot of time getting to know Liam.

Uh liked his toughness, his character, his competes. He's been a durable players, played a lot of football. He's very smart, and so for us, he was a guy that you know, we had talked about and targeted and felt, you know, all this stuff that Brian, myself, the coaching staff and scouts were looking for. So it's important to get up and get in. And as you saw, I was a big running offensive line in that round. So uh, you know, Brian says, um, these guys have to earn positions. You know,

the rookie coming in. But this kid is a tough, competitive kid that is smart, understands football, comes from a good program, has been coached well. So, um, you know, I would defer to Brian if he wants to talk about, you know, positions he's playing, but this kid will come in and compete, and coach essentially from there just took over and said that he's going to come in here and compete at all positions. He's played at all positions.

Wants to get him acclimated first to his teammates in the playbook and all that fun stuff, but mentioned he does have versatility to play left, right, also guard and leom. Eichenberg actually mentioned this himself on his press conference, which we'll get to here in just a second, that they'll he'll play wherever they want him to and he'll even play center, he said. He then of course followed up by there was a follow up question asking him have

you played center before? And he said no, he has not. But this kid is versatile, very reliable and durable, Liam Eichenberg. Let's continue here with the final pick of Night Too and tight end Hunter along out of Boston College, of course coach Flores alma mater h They were asked Chris and Coach about that selection. Here's what they had to say. Yeah, I had no saying the pick because it's from Boston College. As all Brian, you know, I was excited to add

an eagle. Uh. Hunter is a he's tough, he's smart. Um, we had him at the Senior Bowl, so entire school staff got a chance to to spend some time with him. And uh, you know, he's a typical Boston College you know players self, he's smart, he's a team first, and we're excited to have him along with all the guys we we we grabbed over the last couple of days. So it's been it's been a fun two days. And you know, we like all these pigs and um, we're exciting.

If you couldn't tell their coach was laughing, Chris was laughing. There was a pretty light mood in the press conference, especially towards the end when soft, a dean of the South Florida Sun, sentine, I'll started talking about coach Flora's drip and the fashion and how he's coming for cam Wolves title as best dressed man in South Florida. And I gotta say both those guys are on the running because I always tell Cam he's the best dress guy on the Dolphins beat, and coach Flores comes here with

the suit looking sharp, so good stuff. In the press conference, I want to go ahead and finish up here, Chris was asked about how he feels the Dolphins did to satisfy those criteria. Coach Flores talks about tough, smart team first players. Here's Chris. Yeah, I think we feel that we upgrade our roster. We've we've we've had some speed, some playmaking. Um I got some guys that, uh you know old line, the lines which are always in that show last year, especially how important that is to win

this league. Um at again, like you said, the playmakers on offense and defense, guys that can make plays on the ball and score touchdown. So you know, for us, it's you know, we have a good roster and these guys in with the competition and their competitive spirit as we talked about, will would be really good and help us keep growing. And so we're very happy and pleas and uh, you know for us that it was really

good two days for us so far. Let's go ahead and get to some of the highlights from the player of media availability on Friday night, starting with safety Javon Holland. I went back and found a story about his him being a coach's son growing up and how they had some some rules in the house get your school work done and get your chores done, get your workouts in and he had to do a hundred push ups every day.

So I asked you Von about that workout regiment and the discipline and structure in his early life and how it helped him prepare to be a professional football player now with your Miami DALs. Great question. I think that you know, having those trade regiments as a kid just puts me in a better place of you know, organizing my own time and making sure that I'm holding myself accountable, um when no one else is, you know, trying to

check me. And I feel that got some part of being a professional was, you know, holding yourself accountable, make

sure and you're getting your job done. We came back later with Javon here, I asked another question about playing receiver in high school, and then Mario Cristobal, the head coach at the University of Oregon, actually said in an interview, and it was a big story at the time on some of the Northwest papers up there covering the Organ Ducks, where they said Mario Cristo Baal said that he's probably even a better receiver than he is defensive back, but

we're not going to move him for now. So I asked Javan about playing receiver and what that taught him as far as the ball hawking skills. Nine interceptions and two years that was tied for third most in college football between and nineteen. So I played receiver in high school a lot, and and that's where I developed a lot of my ball skills. And I feel like I have a you know, a good sense of how the ball trajectory is going to be in the sky and

things like that. And I definitely think that, you know, added to my my ball you know, ball skills and ball hawking ability. So he talks about ball hawking skills. They're also talked about playing soccer and lacrosse and different sports and baseball growing up to this kid an athlete to the t. He also can at his game or or models his game, I should say, after Tyrone Matthew

the honey Badger there. So that's good company. Let's go ahead and pick this thing up here with Dolphins offensive lineman Liam Eichenberg out of Notre Dame, and I had to ask him about playing through a game with a swollen shut eye and having one eye or one functioning eye throughout the course of that game where they ran for three hundred yards and eight yards per carry against Florida State. Here's Liam. Yeah, that was a little tough, you know. I uh, there's a lot of ice on

it when I came off the field. But yeah, I was small shot. I mean, I had to help my team win, you know, got to be out there. That's always said had to help his team win. What a warrior, What a great football player, and what a fit here in Miami. I want to go ahead and play this clip where he was asked about playing left tackle on learning new positions. And I've talked about his technique a law on the Day two podcast recap and how just sound of a technician he is and how mechanically good

he is and that's a product of working hard. So I wanted to play this clip for you because I think it really tracks as far as his ability to play his natural left tackle position but also be versatile to learn new spots and just like a character the Dolphins got here on Liam Eichenberg. You know, I'll figure it out. I have the work ethic of the attitude, you know, the technique for it. So I'm looking forward

to it wherever they need me. And how about some XS and oaths talking speaking of mechanics, Liam Eikenberg talking about the mechanics right here, this is what you come to drive time for for this type of analysis from your new offensive lineman. Yeah, you know, I think I'm very efficient, um with my footwork in the run game and then in pass pro I think, you know, I have violent hands, and I'm also um, you know, very good at vertical setting. So you know, I think I

bring a lot to uh, you know, this organization. So I'm very excited for it. And then here's a bit from Ikenberg that I found really intriguing, talking about some of the Dolphins players he knows and how he's learned about the culture here in Miami and how it's all about team first and helping the team win and how much he loves that. Yeah, you know, I was talking about Jem Smith, and then I met Austin Jackson on

when I was on Phoenix training. You know, it's just kind of that idea that you know, this team has a great culture. You know there's there's very disciplined and you know they have the same mindset that everybody has the same mindset. You know that that they want to help their team wins. So you know, I I loved it. You know, I think it's it's about the team. You know,

the team's first. So I'm excited for it. And we'll go ahead and conclude the media recap here with Dolphins tight end Hunter Long, who talked about the connection between Brian Flores at Boston College and playing on the coaching staff here with the Miami Dolphins at the Senior Bowl and getting to know those guys. Here's Hunter Long. Obviously, the BC programs known as being a hard nosed, tough program, and um, it breeds guys like coach Flores, and he's

he's an awesome guy. Obviously got to know him at the Senior Bowl a lot, and um, ompos, really one moment I can share, but um obviously throughout the guys that will talk to him and build a relationship with him, and he was awesome down Therefore, and if you go back and check out the press conference, please forgive me for the stumbling on the question I had here for

Hunter Long. I just I was reading something as I was reading the question, so maybe say the wrong word, but I basically asked him about playing in two different offensive systems there at Boston College, one a very run heavy based offense, one more of an aired out scheme. Here's Hunter Long talking about how that helped prepare him for the next level there. Yeah, I always say it. I feel like I got the best of both worlds at BC, with with both offenses. Obviously more run heavy

offense in this past year really opened up the past game. UM. I just think it allowed me to become a well rounded tight end and work at all aspects of the position. Um So, so I'm grateful fruit for the journey I had at BC, and grateful for the original coaching stuff I had there in the office his previous coaching staff. They taught me so much, and I feel like I was really able to build the tools that, um I

think I'll need go on to the next level. And we'll finish up here with a question for Hunter about his ability to both solve a Rubrics cube in forty seven seconds, but also the fact that he builds computers in his spare time. I started. I started solving the Rubys Cup of freshman year of college. I was just bored one day and ordered one. It kind of became a thing I did just in my free time, sitting at my desk or in bed. And uh, I got

all right at it. Uh there was a little nerve wracking solving online two V. I don't want to mess up, but uh, it went well. And then the other hobby I think people build a surprise. I was at built computers. I built my first computer on thirteen and have built a couple of cents. So it's a big hobby of mine. And I graduated with computer science degree from BC so

it's kind of a big part of my life. So another one of these smart players coming down from Boston College here to join Brian Flores team here in Miami. And let's go ahead and transition now into Day three, the final day of the NFL Draft. It has come and gone one of my favorite moments on the calendar in the rear view of mirror now as we look ahead to one season and eventually draft class. But that

is a long way down the road. We thought we had three picks today, but we wind up taking two players because in the fifth round that pick was traded away to the Pittsburgh Steelers for what could have been a relatively significant trade up in next year's draft, the Dolphins get out of pick one fifty six, which was smack dab right in the middle of that fifth round, and they get back into the fourth round next year.

So considering all of the compensatory picks, that draft pick is at least five or so spots higher, depending on how many fourth round comp picks they give out. And that's if Pittsburgh were to win the Super Bowl and pick thirty second in every single round. Let's say they finished nine and eight and missed the playoffs, that pick will have jumped up around forty or forty five spots or so. And draft picks don't depreciate year to year. A fourth round draft pick now is a fourth round

draft pick any year. So he gotta love that for the Dolphins getting up and getting more value out of that pick. And finally, from Peter King's last column, this was from UH this past Monday. He talked about teams maybe being a little bit more ready to make a move like this to get out of this year's draft. And get picks in next year's draft because of the amount of medical reports out there is just much much more scarce than what it typically is and has been

when you have the combine in Indianapolis. So the Dolphins increase value with that move. Now, these draft picks are a little bit different than what we're talking about, and I'm talking about the two seventh round picks then what you're talking about in the second and third round, and obviously the first round two because in the case of a Laarnel Coleman, for instance, out of you Mass he acknowledged at his pro day the reality of being one of these prospects projected to go late on Day three.

Dame Brugler had him in the sixth round. Dolphins get him in the seventh round, So that's a good value there. But he talked in this article on Coast to Coast scouting dot Com about how important his pro day was to him, and there was a little bit of nerves in there because of the fact that he knew he had to put together a solid workout before we get to that. The strength from the one game I got. As far as you mass tape goes, it's it's scarce

out there, boys and girls. The athletic ability the number one thing that stands out right away. He can really really bend at the knees and sink into his anchor and use those active feet to stay square in front of his man. When you hear the term, you know, I'm sure you guys have heard scouting terms that maybe

you're not familiar with. And bending at the knees compared to being a waste bender is very very important because it allows you to kind of stay on balance and stay with your hips over your feet, your shoulders over your hips, and then of course we'll give you better balance, and balance is everything in the National Football League. And

then also maintaining active feet through contact. Sometimes you'll hear the term dead feet upon contact the guys stopped their feet, and that's also one of the worst things you can do. He does not do that. He keeps the feet active and they're very very quick feet. The next strength is the length. He's got absolute vines for arms. He's also got a ridiculous wingspan. He is really tough to disengage from when he gets those big myths out there and

wraps you up. Also, the feet and hip flexibility again, back to the athletic ability here, but I mentioned the quick feet that moved to side to side. I would have loved to seen this guy run the rabbit drill in India at the combine, that's where you put and they might have actually gotten rid of this drill, but it was fun to watch when they had it. But they would put an offensive lineman on one side. He was playing oh line and the other guy was basically

running back and forth between two cones. Trying to showcase the transition and the weight the weight transition of the offensive lineman's ability. I think this guy would have absolutely killed that drill because he has the athletic a bill and change the direction to be good in that area. And he's also you see that when he works at the second level in the running game too. So again, athleticism is the name of the game for Laurna L. Coleman.

His measurements six ft six three seven pounds, eighty four and seven eight inch wingspan that is the second largest in this class, thirty five and a half inch arms, a five one seven forty yard dash time, a one point eight three ten yards split. That's a great range to be in getting off the ball show on the explosiveness and then one inches on the broad jump too. That's that's explosive for a guy that size, thirty one inch vertical again, more explosion, and then twenty four bench

reps with that long of arms. It's it's pretty compressive technique wise. I am excited personally to watch coach Lemiel John Pierre get his hands on this guy. And Dane Brugler at The Athletic writes that he's a little bit erratic with that initial punch and can wind up kind of getting his paws outside where you hug the guy, and that's where holding flags come out. So refining that punch and getting all the athletic ability working together is the job ahead there for Lemill John a year. That's

why he was elevated to this position. Coach Flores at his press conference post draft actually talked about how sometimes when he walks by a coach Lem's office, he keeps his head down to keep moving because he knows Lem's gonna pull him in there and start talking football. It's like, I got things to do right now, coach. Maybe maybe the next meeting we'll get to that. But some statistics

for Coleman forty career games, twenty nine starts. He played seventeen at left tackle and twelve of those on the right side at right tackle. He allowed just one sack last season. Three pressures allowed in four games total. That's one twenty six pass blocking reps a pressure every thirty

one point five pass blocking snaps. And you saw significant progression in those stats throughout his years there at ums thirty six pressures as a sophomore, down to twenty two and then down to four, albeit in four games, but you track that and pro rate it for a twelve or thirteen game schedule, twelve or thirteen pressures there. So the progression, the growth has been there, been tangible there.

And Dane Brugler wrote that his issues Coleman's are correctable and he's had an impress or that he's an impressive ball of play, and really what you want in the seventh round of the draft, right a guy that you can mold and work and develop and maybe year two or year three he's a swing tackle and eventually a starting tackle for you. Maybe he's been packing on way his entire college career, and I imagine that continues in the NFL. He certainly has the frame to carry it now.

In the seventh round of the Dolphins finished up the draft with Jared Doakes, a running back out of Cincinnati five ft eleven two hundred twenty eight pounds, and when you look at some of the strengths of the two NFL draft, he is body beautiful. There's an old adage in football that the players with the most impressive and most imposing bodies are the ones that get off the bus first in road games to I guess intimidate the

opposing team. That's probably really old school saying. So I don't think teams even see that happen anymore, so, but you get the idea. That's it's an adage. But Dokes is one of those players. Class lid eleven two d and twenty eight pounds, absolute wrecking ball As a player, he's a three down type player too. He has the skill set in him and first again, has the body to really handle the punishment and dished out at this

of lot at that position. He also caught passes zero drops in despite a frequent screen game in that offense, and as you'd expect at that size, he holds his own and past protection when he chips back there as well. He can really make an impact when he helps on doubles and chips and identifying the blizz and where that

stuff comes from. Some of the stats. Six hundred thirty seven yards on the ground and seven touchdowns last year, two hundred two more through the air with a pair of touchdowns, so almost a thousand yards and nine total touchdowns. He forced twenty five miss tackles on one forty four carries, and he ripped off seventeen runs of ten or more yards. He allowed one sack, and one hundred thirty career pass protection reps. Now we talked about the athletic ability of

this guy. Thirty nine and a half inch vertical jump that he had at his pro day that would have ranked fourth among all running backs at the combine, in of course no combine this year. A four or five seven forty yard dash, one twenty in broad jumps, so a ridiculous amount of explosion in that lower half, and the guys built like a house, so it really kind of matches up uniquely in that regard. A seven point to one three cone time and nineteen bench press reps.

Dane Brugler had this about him that he missed the eighteen season with a sports hernia injury, and then fell into the backup role in two thousand nineteen behind Mike Boone, a very good running back there at Cincinnati and now of the Minnesota Vikings. But he regained the starting role as a senior and led the team in rushing, which drew praise from his coaching staff for his positivity and drive through adversity, and his high school coach Doaks high

school coach said that his physicality changes everything. We were really impressed, or what really impressed me was that even during our drills, he was the most physical guy I've coached in twenty years, and Simon Clancy of Gridiron Magazine over in the UK wrote that he his coach try to tackle him in high school and dislocated his shoulders. This guy absolutely brings the load and brings the wood.

His coaches also said that Cincinnati, when he arrives as a true freshman, that they thought he was the best player on the football field. So I think this is a tremendous way to close out the seventh. You come away with two upside player is that have athletic traits, Guys that love the grind, and again they sound like Miami Dolphins already, and Coach did say in his post draft presser to remind us all about how far these

rookies have to go, all of them. So I can't wait to watch how they develop on that practice field. And we're gonna run the audio on the Monday episode of Drift Time podcast of that press conference with Coach and with Chris and get you a comprehensive look at their answers. They kind of cover the roster in general.

We'll look at the off season in general and the roster and break it all down as I tell you where I see the strengths of this group lining up and where I think the major improvements came from a year ago. But since the media for both the draft picks they was so brief and short, let's go ahead and add them here to this podcast and get out of here. Three podcasts for you guys this weekend. I

hope you enjoyed them all. Let's go ahead and get to know Laarnel, Coleman, and Jared Oakes a little bit better. The first few questions for Larnell, he was very excited about the fact that Dolphins picked him. He had a big smile, on his face, so he can't wait to get down to Miami. He also happened to be wearing an aqua colored T shirt that was a incidence. He thought that was pretty funny as well as somebody asked

him about that. But he also was asked about his athletic ability, the fact that he has that basketball background and how that could help him on the football field. You know, I love basketball since I was a kid, you know. You know, my father had to be my

brother in camps as we are really young. And I think for me, basketball is literally, at least playing defensive basketball is the same thing as playing playing offensive line, at least playing taft ball, saying, and I feel like a lot of that athletic system is definitely going to trans over onto the field and has been, I think,

as you can see on my phone now. I found that very interesting talking about how playing defense and basketball translates to playing offensive line or at least the tackle position. And it's kind of right, right, like stay between your man and the basket, it's the same idea, stay between your man and the quarterback. And so that's a really good point I've never thought about before. One more question here for Laurnael regarding his eighty four and seven eight

inch wingspan and how that helps his game. I definitely using you know, you definitely see that my pass blocking game. You know, I gotta use them arms to keep your friends off my quarterback. So you're definitely gonna see you though, um in those situations. And as always, these can be found on our YouTube page in the Miami Dolphins YouTube channel. Let's go ahead and transition now over to Jared Oakes,

the final draft pick for the Miami Dolphins. On Saturday Night out of Cincinnati, the running back I asked him about overcoming adversity had a sports herni an injury and teen that cost him to miss the entire season. He came back in twenty nineteen, earned that praise I mentioned from his coaches earlier in the podcast. I asked him about it right here after that injury. You know, it's

just I was in a pretty down place. But you know, I'm a pretty close with all my teammates that since he so, you know, they kind of helped me realize how important I was on the team. You know, just became really close with the teammates and they kind of helped me help motivate me to get back to where I was. And that's why that's the bond I plan

on having with teammates of Miami. So I've been trying to ask questions these guys talking about their teammates this weekend, and that wasn't even intentional, but he brought it out right there and himself. So again, walks like a dolphin, talks like a dolphin. Must be a Miami dolphin. Here with Jeric Doakes out of Cincinnati, let's go ahead and

follow up for another question. Here with Jared, I asked him about a question I saw in an article where they interviewed him and asked him about his three dinner guests he would invite dead or alive if he threw a dinner party, and it was Kobe Bryant, Dave Chappelle, and Marshawn Lynch. I asked him about what he's cooking and what he brings to the table in that party. Uh, I say cooking. I just probably like barbecue. You know, it's a good old barbecue, briez burgers, all that, and uh,

you know, you just have a good old time. Those are all guys that I looked. You know that I look up to. They all professionals, you know, they all just bring comedy, professionalism while to the table things you can learn. And he also mentioned later in a question that Marshawn Lynch was the guy he looked up to as a running back as a professional, and his tape kind of checks that box too. He runs mad, violent, and angry. So that is it for our player media here.

We're gonna finish up tomorrow on a podcast with Chris Career and Brian Flores Saturday Night Media and a comprehensive review of this offseason of this team, of this roster. Before we get out of here tonight, I want to go ahead and just thank everybody that came to the draft party. Thank everybody that follows me on Twitter and engages with me on Twitter, that downloads the podcast, that

reads the stuff up on Miami Dolphins dot com. All of you that reached out to me and told me that I did a good job on the draft party set. That really meant a lot to me. So thank you so much for all of you that came up to me and talked to me at the show, and you know, mentioned it in my Twitter mentions on Facebook. Whatever it might have been. I really appreciate everybody reaching out and getting in touch with me and and telling me that because it was my first live TV type of deal

like that, and it was definitely a nerve racking. But once I got settled in man, I was right in my element. We had one line prescripted for me and John kN Jemmy drove this whole thing and did such

a good job of hosting. I had one prescripted line, and in that first line, my microphone gave me feedback and I was worried about this line because it wasn't full ball was like a promo for the draft party, and so I was already like trying to memorize the line, and when I do that, I tend to stumble over things. I'm way better when I free flow. So I got feedback and wind up getting through the line. And then once we got into the draft picks and the football,

I felt right in my elements. So that was a ton ton of fun. I also want to throw out some names here. I'm gonna forget some because I definitely can't cover everybody, but Jason Jenkins and Nolan Brett, Bretch Eisen Stewart, Drew Simmer, and Dave Hero You wanna Caroline right, Katherine Milkin, O j McDuffie, Francis, Wayne John kN Jemmy Channing, Crowder, Kim Bokamper and Joe Rose. Some folks that I associated with over this draft party, and folks that put the

show together, the stage manager, the production manager. So many people put so much work into that show. It was so much fun. And the entire weekend of course, just countless, countless people putting an effort on this stuff. And you see it in this Miami Dolphins organization. And I want to shout out one last thing here because this organization has been great to me, but also to the fans. And Jason Sarney if you don't know him, the Finns

Maniacs website and just podcast and does Twitter spaces. He is just all over the place talking Dolphins football. Guy loves this team. He does the the charity poker tournaments with the j T Foundation with Seth Lovitt and O. J McDuffie's always a good time in there as well. We and him DM a lot. We talk. He's a

very good guy, very big time Dolphins fan. The Dolphins shipped him a football with his name on it for some work he did with some of the charity relief, the d c c and and the food relief program. So good on you, Jason for doing that. Good on the organization for getting the ball out to you. That tweet made me cry, man, I'll be honest with you.

Kyle Krabs and I talked about how much we cry these days because we're father's and that got me so Jason Sarney, congrats, man, that was a really cool tweet you put out there. Go check it out. It's on my timeline and Colin Calherd picked it up and tweeted it out for him too, So Sarrny, your big time. Now, don't forget about us when you're the man. All right.
