The Audible Ep. 25 | Albert Wilson

make it during the show here. So we'll get him back, probably getting some juicy stuff though he's probably getting something some dirt, getting some down there, find out what's going on and give the benefit and he'll bring it to the podcast right here, and uh so everyone can hear it when they listen on Apple Music, Dolphins dot Com, the Miami Dolphins mobile app, and tune in Radio with every dropping every third job right there. That was good.

That was very nice, all right, Joe, very nice, very nice. Let's go something there wasn't very nice. Let's go back to uh Friday preseason game number two in Carolina, and I think there were some good things that you can pull out of that game. But you know the things that the things that things that really bother me are

are big defense giving up big plays. Second or third play of the game, seventy one yard touchdown by McCaffrey, and you know, I kind of I kind of give that a little to some youthful xuberants and and you know, in a in a defense that's still trying to figure out where everyone's at. Uh. But then after that they I think they held Carolina. I want to say the twenty three yards uh of offense prior to their last that last drive that they scored their touchdown on, so

they they rallied from that and played pretty good. But these big plays on defense, um, they gotta find a way to gotta find a way to stop. You know, if you make a team driven twelve thirteen four team plays down the field and they score, well they just they just wore you down. But you know, on a seven one yards on a play for a touchdown, you know you can't start a game like that and then try to spend the rest of the night climbing yourself out of at all um assignments I heard over the

last couple of days. Assignments technique guys are supposed to pinch plays in aren't there crossing round a basic fundamental crossing route to a tight end. Catches a ball, I thought it was a broken coverage, only to find out Ray Kwon, who's seen at a zillion times in practice, didn't pick it up. That's his guy to lock onto and he's looking back at cam and picks it up too late, and the guys running full speed and he can't catch up and the guy runs easily in the

end zone. Some of this stuff boat As got had cleaned up. Safety is a step late coming up to fill in holes after they see it's clearly a run can't be late coming up. So there's a lot of different things I gotta get cleaned up. I'm not saying it can't happen. And in the first two weeks time un hey both, this is a huge week man, because you gotta get in the end zone. You're right, Ryan Tannehill got to get his guys in the end zone.

And am Bo. There's a game plan. I'm not saying they're putting in their Tennessee plan, but there's gonna be some stuff to allowing some opportunities and maybe some audibles and stuff like that that you hope we get to see more. Ryan's played almost three quarters of football haven and and he and and look, and he's gonna play

this week. And he's gonna play. Look, I I you know, you're in a You're in a I think coach Gays is in a in a situation and the coaching staffs in a situation where they got to kind of look at their and I'm looking at well, it's it's past the three week time now, but you know we're we're

less than three weeks to the season opener on September nine. Um, and you know that game, you you had three weeks prior to that, so you got a jam as much as you can in and Joe here, Here's the dilemma that I think the coaching staff is facing going into this game is that you've got a lot of young guys that are gonna play on this team. You got you know, certainly Minko is gonna play on a play a lot of snaps. Uh Baker is gonna play a lot of snaps. Ray Kwan is gonna play a lot

of snaps. Um offensively, Gaseky is gonna play a lot of snaps. Mike is gonna play a lot of snaps. All these guys are gonna play a lots a lot of snaps when you're gonna give him, when you're gonna give them meaningful snaps. If you don't play a lot those guys a lot in game three here and now going along with those guys, I think Ryan needs to play more. I think that offensive line needs to play more together. Certainly defensively, that first unit needs to play

more together. So I think you find yourself in that situation. Look, do I play these guys a full three quarters of this game? Maybe encroach some guys into the fourth quarter, because man, we gotta get ready. If you're gonna go buy that normal theory of preseason games and not play any of those guys in game four, right bo I, we're gonna play some young guys. They're they're gonna play good or bad. There's gonna be some growing pains. I think we all understand that, but we just things got

to get cleaned up and bow. One of themes from last year is the penalties. We actually had a touchdown call back. Quietly, why everybody's talking about the great field position off two dolphin takeaways that they're set up on Caroline is nine and eleven yard line or nine and twelve yard line, but you come away at two field goals. Then you get a sack from behind, forced fumble, pick

it up, you're running back for a touchdown. You got a penalty on Chase Allen in the middle there, so both it could have been twenty one and the easiest point shore ever again to gain. Yeah, well, look, you you're like you said, you know, you get the interception from X. You're at the nine yard line and Joe and We've talked about this a little bit on the

way back. You know, I've seen there going, man, you know what, this is what you got sick you for and and maybe you don't want to show it, maybe whatever, whatever, I gotta see it. You know, you get him a get the red zone, you the nine yard line, and then they have penalty holding that that brings them back. And I think that two penalties in that in that uh, in that drive to leg into a field goal, they have to delegate. And by the way, they have two

delayed games. They just didn't call the second one. And so I'm just sitting here shaking my hand. How can you get the ball in the nine yard line and proceed to go backwards and backwards and backwards and end up with a measly field goal, and then do it again when you get the ball at the eleven yard I think I think that's the if you're looking at the top of the frustration list, that's it right there.

You just got great field nobody in preseason and get better field position and those two drives were talking about, and you come away with two field goals of kicking content and Joe. Not not only that, but you go back to preseason game number one with the first year and only played a series writing threw at six passes that day or whatever, and then this one they've moved the ball, Joe. They move on. Now. Now Ryan's not throwing for big chunks, he doesn't have the big you know,

yard to catch numbers there, but moving they're moving the ball. Man, that offensive it's coming. They're getting a line quick, you're getting out. They're throwing the ball. Well, we're writing that right down the field, and all of a sudden and you get hit with that penalty, and that first penalty leads to you know, leads to something else, and you know, yeah, I hate to be a guy who continues to harp on.

I've been harping on it for three years now, since since Coach Gay's got here about penalties, and it just they they talk about it. They've got officials out here, they're running gas ers after they're doing all this. None as ships working, Joe, you gotta find something else. Me, I'm just talking for myself, talking for myself, and I'm talking for a little old school me. I'm on that practice field, a guy jumps off, get your ass out.

Put someone in there that wants to play. To me, there's gotta be some there's gotta there's got to be a consequence to this. And to me, we'll we'll go over when we get in the films. That's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned, you know, Bo, it's uh the third and I heard Adam Gays talking about this, and it's I've seen Adam. You're right, that's a problem. Third and eleven, fourteen three. It's hard enough on third down and three first, first and five. This

team is in that situation way too many times. First and fifteen on offense, first and five on defense. It's too much. It's got to get cleaned up Bow and we talked about this last week. You gotta have a really good football team to overcome now, you gotta you got a superior team full of talent. This team got to play clean football if they're gonna win games. I think they're gonna win some games. I I don't happen to think that. Yeah, I'm on the ESPN. They're the

worst team in preseason football. I've been watching some of these games. Uh, you know, there's a lot of teams really sloppy in preseason right now. Decide who's the best and worst of the group. And and by the way, who cares? You know, who cares? Who care? Who's the best and the worst team in preseason? It all matters that who's the best and the worst team at the end of the year. That's right, That's all that matters.

So you can look. I know they've got time to fill in on their shows, and they've got so many shows and a bunch of idiots on there. They've gotta earlier. You know, I spent were in Carolina. I spent two days basically hold up in my room, really not doing much of anything, just watching watch a lot of ESPN, and boy, there are things I watched on ESPN. I'm just shaking my head, shaking my head, going you you

gotta be kidding me, dude. They got way too much time and way too many networks, way too many stations to fill with some of the stuff that they're putting on those shows. It's funny. I was in a hotel room too, and and their big topic, you know, you're looking the NFL ESPN show, So this would be good. Is Ryan Tannehill on bellage and if he has a right to handle that, pulling him out and stuff? And I'm listening to one former player and one wanna be GM and I'm like, wow, that's a lot for Is

that the way you treat a rookie or not? Do you take him out? Do you leave him in? Is Ryan Tannehill have enough status? Has he done enough in the league to do it? And I'm wow, Okay, hey, look he's a quarterback of your team. I'm all for it, you know, I'm all for you know to me, Joe, you you you're an offensive guy. Defense a little different you got you know, you got some hot heads in there, but offensively, I think it's it's i think pretty uniform

around the league. What's that quarterback stock stopping? You shut you shut up? Quarterback talks, you'd be quiet. It's his huddle, and he owns that huddle, and he manages that huddle if he wants to throw somebody out. Look, that's one of the problems I had with Brandon Marshall when Brandon was here and Chad Henny, he's in Chad head, He's

here the whole time. I go, yeah, throws the ass out of the huddle, tell Sperrauno you're gonna do it, and tell him when you send him over there that if you if you come out, go sit, you're ass on the bench until Chad's ready to have you back in there. Right, It didn't do it. So what happened? So so he got into he got into his ears and between his head, you know, in his head, and

you couldn't get him done. You know, I got no problem and for that to be for that to be a major topic of of the show, I I don't get it. I to me again, I go back to they got to take away too much time to there. There's plenty of talk about in preseason football have to worry about something happening in practice, four days earlier. I'm with you, so anyway, So so that's where I mean.

So defensively, got to stop the big plays offensively that the penalties are just and it look defensively the penalties you're killing you too. Um. But but we've seen some good things. I thought Jachim played well the other night. I thought I thought Albert Wilson did some good things out there. Um, Kenyan Drake you know had something, you know, run the ball with authority back there. We got a lot of good things to go on. But you can't.

You can't build on him. You can't sustain and that's that is frustrating, frustrating, and it's certainly gonna be frustrating for everyone upstairs in that building. Yeah. I think Adam Gates done a really good job of staying positive on the same, which I get. I don't expect him to go to the media every day and and sit there and rip his team. He wants to get this thing going, and he's talked about urgency this week and and playing better football, and that's why he's got to treat it.

But but they got they got cleaned some things up though. I'm I think that's fair. Um, they got to clean some things up. We've lost a lot of belief and trust in this town with this fan baseball. I'm hearing it every day. I'm reading it every day on text messages. Well, Joe, you know, quite frankly, from from two games, what do you what do you cling to? Well, what do you what do you wrap you around? Arms around and say this is gonna be a really good year for us.

You know, I'm I'm in the I'm in the you know, the last last few days for me. And when I talk to people, what do you think, Well, you know it's a young team. You know they gotta get going. You got ray Kuonon McMillan and you got Jerome Baker. You got guys in here that look neither one of them played in the NFL last year. You know, ray Kwon was out, he didn't play the whole season. So you got two young guys in there next to each other.

They have played very little football in this league, and and and less football at game time, in game time situations. It's gonna take them a while to get up to Speed's gonna take them a while to understand. And you don't think that those guys adrenaline pump is going into at at a high pace right now. So not not only are they trying to see things that are going really fast, but they're all jacked up trying to trying to get there as fast as they can and sometimes

overrunning where they're supposed to be. Both you're potentially looking when you throw Rakue in as a rookie, because he is he didn't play at all last year. You got four twenty two guys that are like, hey, guys, sorry to do this to you, but you guys got to catch up fast. We need you, we need your upside now, and so we need the process to speed up. But I want to give up. I'm hearing people ripping re quon.

I'm like, can't give up on re kuon that play he made on that screen that was my teaser of like, okay, I get it, and so there's some good thing. Get sicky. I got teased enough out here. I'm giving the coach the benefit of the doubo and I'm like you they get down the red zone, whether they flex them out or keep them inside, i want to see me the running seam round in the back face and I'm gonna give coach the benefit of the doubt that he's got something big plan coming up that you're not just gonna

forget about. How athletic coach seeing this up close, how good he's but with frustrating Joe's you can hold that all you want until the regular season. But but you gotta try it. You got you gotta do. You know, you've got to give the kid to me. You gotta give the kid the opportunity. Look good. Example of the week before, Right, he runs a nice little route, probably probably breaks it off too soon, right, probably got out of it, you know, but but have the guy beat?

How does guy beat completely separation? And then you know the ball is a little high. But you know Alicia at Leicsia saw him run erroute and get a chance to and he was in position to make the play ball just a little high. But you know, once once it's not enough. I mean, I wouldn't you like to see him get between now and September nine at least

four opportunities in the end zone. I get to talk for myself, That's what I'm talking for myself, for my off getting preseason and having a chance my rookie year to catch a lot of footballs played a lot with Woodley was my quarterback and were roommates and and so yeah, man, I got a chance in preseason to catch a lot of footballs, and so I thought that was a big help you right into the season, many right in within a few games into it, where I had a little

bit of confidence. And I think that's important, Um I I do. I thought the same thing with Davante. He ends up he's gonna come back with no catches in preseason, very few that we saw on his few opportunities. So, hey, Davante, good luck, be ready to go, whether you're back for a week one or week two. Uh. Good the good news this week Kenny still should be back in an opportunity play again. This week, we'll get to see more with Danny Amandola out there. Uh. And continue to watch

these receivers. I think that's gonna be that's gonna be pretty interesting battle right down to the to the final cut at the back end of the back end of the receiving group. Yeah, I'll tell you what. That front group, with the way Grant played and a guy that's gonna Wilson, Albert Wilson is is being really good. I feel pretty good about that that old group and you know what, ball, I'm starting to look at Danny Ammondola and he may

have a few more catches if he stays healthy. Then then I thought, originally with all the things he can do, and after talking to him in that meeting that we had last week, things that they're working on, very technical things where the ball is going to be thrown according to where it is, I was like, wow, I'd say, that's Joe, you're any concern You look at that that group and uh, you look at that receiving corps. They're small.

That's a small group of kids that's there. Who were the Smurfs and the fun Bunch and on that three guys lined up last week. I'm with you, man, and there's some little guys. When we were talking to Danny said, you guys, you know you have He says yeah, yeah. We look around at each other, go yeah, we were a little little miniature out here. You know, we may have to get the ruler out and try to figure

out the size of those three guys. Good, good effort, guys and good and I think that certainly is gonna be be a bright spot. And you know, it looked it's it's easy for fans now to be crying what was us? It's gonna be another long year. But but you know, and I was talking to a guy last night, I said, look, you gotta let you gotta let this preseason play out. I've seen. I remember. I remember sitting in, uh sitting a training camp watching the New England Patriots

one year when they had a really good team. And Uh, I was sitting in with most scary of my defensive line coach, just watching some tape of them, uh during a during a preseason, and UH, I'm watching and I said, Coach, I said, I don't know who can beat this team. I said, they were just rolling over people in the preseason. You know. They had Russ Francis and that whole Mike Mike Haye play, Sam Hunt, the big linebacker, and they had a big fullback from USC, Sam Cunningham. They they

were a load of that football team. And I'm sitting there and like, look at what I said, mon, who's gonna beat this team? He goes, wow, you know, it's just a preseason. I go, yeah, but they're they're there crushing people. Then they're winning seven eight games, you know, so you can't what what you see in those four preseason games. You know, it's it's it's hard to say that's that's what you're gonna get because there's a lot more.

First of all, they're not game planning, game playing a little bit this week, you're not playing with the normal guys. You're you know, you rarely do you get your units together the exactly Look at Frank Gore. Frank Gore may get a couple of carries this week, and I know Adam doesn't want to give any carries, but yeah and so so so how do you factor him into that offense and where it fits if you see him with

three carries in the preseason. That's the other thing, bo Is, I think to a lot of these coaches, they're moreried, more worried about I'll live with russ and sloppiness. I want my guys healthy. Well I don't you know, everybody's different on that, but you don't want to get key guys play at all. And I think that I think that's a league wide sentiment. I think league wide, most core the majority of coaches now in this league are are are more concerned with having there they're their top

fifty three guys on on on opening day. Um, and then they're losing them to injuries by playing them too much. And its sindergon Jesus, who wouldn't have done that. I look, I you know, watched uh watch the First Hard Knocks the other night, and Hugh Jackson, he's he's afraid to let anybody play. It seems like his coaches are bitching, we are working. He's going, hey, listen, I've been where you are. I understand, but I'm here and I need him healthy when these games count. I don't want to

be without him. They'll work the rust out basically as the season goes on. But I want to have my best guys out there, even if they're not a yeah, well, I tell you. You watch that show and it makes you it's to me, it's embarrassing. I mean some of the stuff that's going on, some of the heart Knocks produced. Come to those teams and go, hey mind, they go, no, put that in? Yeah you serious? Well, I guess I

think that's their deal. They've gotta you know, they gotta let him do it, let him show what they see and and and let her one see what goes on. But uh, I don't know that was a tough watch for me to watch it. I'm like, he's embarrassing, by the way, great to watch for fans to get some good inside stuff at a little uh, a little embarrassing. On the other sure, hey, let's look at some of the bright spots. Robert Quinn in the game. He he

owned that off. I mean, he could have beat him on the first past, but it was he was a hair away from from the first sack on the first or second time they threw the ball. Come in with two more sacks and he just well, he just annihilated. He looked good and uh, you know what he comes off the ball well, his leverage and his arm use and the next thing you know, he's around around guys and it was a position you played. But yeah, I'll

tell you what. He keeps that up with the pass rush and we were getting from the rest of those guys. That's pretty good, by the way, probably when you're talking groups, that look pretty good those defensive ends rushing the pastor got after Charles Harris was in thet you know, got smack cam got a little action in there. Um, you know that you certainly feel good about that. And look, if I'm if I'm one of those guys in the secondary, well, I'm saying, hey, you keep keep it going, guys man,

keep you know, keep no not much. I will tell you one guy though, that would like to forget about that game and both. I don't think people go after people on purpose. I've never heard of it in pre season with tankers just got picked on short and then they set him up and went over the top of him. Just a real poor game for a guy that you

were hoping was maybe gonna be your starter. How about how about tank comes into this training camp feeling pretty good about the way he finished the season last year. Coming in, he's he's kind of the incumbent there from as a starter comes in and no, kay, look he's got an opportunity to kind of lock up that spot. And now then all on a sudden, you you kick Bobby out there. You know, he drops down, Tony Limpets had his injury issues. He drops down, and now you're looking,

you're looking at and we and we look. We're talked about a lot as much as anybody. We talked about how nice it is to have that depth opposite X and all those guys. You know that you can you can put him in there. You can put this right now. Two of those guys we're looking at aren't getting much done on this, aren't getting much done on the on the field. Mctire might be the next guy up right now,

but he might be the next guy up. And then it makes you wonder if these guys don't play better real quickly, bo, we got eight quarters of pre season football left. Uh. Do they go out on the peak market and start looking for a vet, maybe trading something with somebody that might have somebody it's better than what we have. Hey, hey, Joe, you're concerned at all about um the kicking game with the two with the two rookie kickers, Well, they're they're getting a lot off. They're

getting a lot of opportunities. Um, the kid from FAU what's name. I don't pay much attention to the kicker's name to get the job. Joe's kicked the fifty four yard or the day. I mean he's he looked, he looked at the Sanders. I still think this team is looking at their draft pick being ahead of them, no doubt. Well, I'm gonna be honest, they've been kicking really well, but this preseason thing and then hitting the road in Green Bank and you gotta kick one of those bad boys.

Let's see how they do. But I think they're getting first opportunity. I think they keep kicking the way they have the next two weeks. I think we keep one of them. But I wouldn't get real comfortable. I wouldn't buy a house yet. No, no staying that apartment. Yeah, standing at hotel for the uh see that? Yeah, it's gonna be interesting job. Alright, so Joe, Uh. Game three

this week, Baltimore Ravens come to town. If it's funny because you go to these preseason games and always started looking to the other team, or why am I looking to this other team? It don't matter, it doesn't matter who they line up and play. It's it's just about your team and and how you play. But um, how important is it for this team to walk? There's the other thing, winning games in the preseason. I did a radio show yesterday and somebody, how important is it to

win games in the preseason? I said to me, every time you line up in the field, you should try to win a win a game because it becomes it becomes a habit, you know, it becomes a habit, habitual thing that you do to win gamest USA. Now, we don't care if we want to lost. You know, you and I totally disagree on that one, do we. I'll tell you why. Um, I got guys gonna finish all four preseason games with guys that a lot of guys are back in the roster, are not on the team.

So those guys that are playing that are gonna be the big thing, can't play. I'm more about get yourself ready to go and play your back. Look, I I'm I'm a one with I'm with you ad on that. But Joe, this team is starving for winning, for to win football game. And you know I remember I remember coach Sulan one time saying, hey, he wanted to why said every time you're flying up, I want you because I remember saying, I said, someone said to him, why are why is it? Why was it winning pregame preseason

games important? He goes, because I want to develop a culture cultural winning on this team. I don't care who you're playing. I don't care what it is, I don't care where it is. We want to win the football game. We're gonna play, We're gonna we're we're gonna preseason games. Everyone's gonna get their time. But but he am, I still want to win that football game. And this is a football team, Joe to me that needs to start

learning how to win football games. And no better time to start learning how to win football games than these preseason games that don't don't count. I mean, it's it's the other side of that though, just to be we're sitting there breaking down who's playing well and who's not. I want to see more guys playing well. I want to see more guys like Quinn. I want to see more guys like the receivers making those catches early in

the game, offensive line, pass protection with Ryan Tannell. I want to see more positives and and getting some of these things fixed. But but Bo, we did play for a guy love to win. Yeah, well look it looked anything. Yeah, I win in minicamp. I don't I don't remember, John, I don't remember very very often losing, you know, have a I don't know if we ever had a losing

record in pre season. Why I finished for eight years while you were sitting and I got a chance to play during all those things, and I got that whether I was playing with rookies or I was playing with the third quarterback. My man wanted to win at fourth grade. He didn't care who you were. Even if he's getting ready to cut, you knew it. He wanted to win that damn. He wanted to get up the paper in the morning and go yeah. But but I also do that. You just you know, it becomes a culture that you're

gonna win. You just you know in your mind you're gonna you're gonna win. And that's yeah. I just thought that was that was a lesson I learned with with spending my time with him. Let's go and get some questions here waiting for Albert Wilson to join us. Uh here in a little bit. He's kind of they just wrapped up practice and and all that. So, uh let's go to yo him Trice Tires, he's he's so here you you, Joe, You're worse than me. It comes in Facebook, y O A and T I R C E Yon Tires. Right,

Is that right? That's all right? Jeff's over here on this phone, Jeff, Yeah, just one just on tumbler over here. Yea, what is that? What are those little sites? Say? What are you? Where you flick ryder, flick left what it's called. Don't say that he's off fat, Uh, just throwing it out there. I look over he said, he's doing a lot of swiping to the right, swiping. And don't know what's going on with that anyway. Yawn, we need to work on that rush d The offense is looking good.

Offense is looking good. I've never been a Tannehill fan, but he looks much different out there. Fins up. Uh yeah, rush defense uh and and and look you lose sue, no question. And now you're looking for that tation in the tackle position, and you've got two rookie linebackers standing about lining up behind him. It ain't gonna be pretty

for a while. I mean, you know, you've got you've got young guys at the defensive tackle position trying to earn their bones there, and you've got two rookie linebackers. They played very very little football. That leads to some concern about the running game, especially right up to shoot. Well, well, I'll tell you what. According to who you talked to, and I've talked to everybody, including coaches, on all the defensive tackles, it's not on them linebackers got a pinch down.

Guys got out of technique safety step. Well that the seventy one yard that was like that was basically a thirty four trap. They were in the tight end, blocked down, fullback kicked out and both both of the linebackers went outside and then t J was coming up. He saw defensive tackle kind of stuff and then and then McCaffrey just outran him to the corn and so yeah, that just guys being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But uh, yeah, they they've got to get But but look, you're gonna get that when you've got you know, you could, in essence, have two second year tackles and two first year linebackers starting the season for you, no question. So you know that that that middle that is that is your youngest part of your team. What you just mentioned linebackers and those defensive tackles. Tommy Clarks from Facebook, you know, I I just we gotta, we gotta Facebook note from

Tommy Clarks. Tommy Clarks is even leaving the area. Where is he going? He's going out to the Bay Area. They said he's gonna clog up some toilets on the Bay. Are you want to give him one restaurant. You know, they've got a tough sewage system out there. And in the Bay Area. I think he's gonna go work for the Warriors or something out there, So you're gonna go clog up that Bay Area, that San Francisco. It doesn't matter. In San Francisco. You just shipped on the street over there.

I mean, you know it does have a bad spell sometimes. But I ain't got a light to you. But you want to give one restaurant till you want to get my restaurant, or now you gotta go to Skoma's. I mean you to go to Comas. You can. You can even go over to Saucelito and go if you want to, but you gotta go to UM. I hope Gore has his best season yet. Positive vibes from the Dolphins. Um Gore is not gonna have his best season yet, but

he's gonna be a valuable part of this team. Is gonna be interesting to see how many carries he gets and how they break those carries down between he, Drake and and Klin Blash And because you know, I think Blage has shown enough where you want to see him in a regular season. Get a few carries. He's certainly gonna be the third guy on the list, but you know he's there. You may have two guys. I'm guessing in a perfect game bow, I'm gonna give Kenyan fifteen carries,

maybe a couple more. I can see Frank from five day carries, and then we'll see what's a few targets football and both guys can get the football dunk because they can both catch him. The other thing I'd like to see, you know, you look at you can bloge and Blosh can get himself going. Yeah. I like the idea of Kenyon or Um or Frank Gore and Blage in the back to two guys in the backfield. You know, Ballage can block, he can catch, he can do it and give you different opportunities. I like the idea of

having two backs at times in the backfield. The biggest problem for Ballage right now and he's still trying to figure things out from what I understand, as they do checks and when I'm so so go out, Oh now no, I'm so staying in blocker. Uh oh, you change the play. I didn't catch it. I didn't know if it was a lot of stuff going on a lot of stuff going on. They gotta find the mind. They gotta find

this guy. Guy comes creeping over here. Now is then when I got two guys, two guys threatening in a gap, which one do I take one close to the You know it's it's so he's Uh. Look, that's why. That's why rookie running backs in the NFL. You know it takes him while to get in not not because not because they can't carry the ball against the ball and they gotta be able to protect your quarterback and not getting killed. That's one of the reasons that you got

thrown out of the huddle at practice. El Chopo Jr. From Twitter. I think Robert Quinn was a great pick up. Hopefully him and a Wake can get get a good, good groove going. Uh. Robert Quinn, he got that knack man, he got he gets to the corner, he got that lean, he got that lowly much like Cam Cam Wag did the same thing when he first came in his league. Both those guys in opposite sides, they're gonna create some problems, uh.

For for some of those teams take eighteen sacks from him right now between the two would and I'd be happy with that. Just checking on your numbers here before you get because you know you because you got Andre Branch, you got William Hayes in there, Charles Harris, You're gonna get a couple from those guys up the middle. You may get a blitzack or two. So yeah, I mean, this team's got a team. Gotta gotta put pressure in the quarterback. Uh Lavio Pino from Facebook? I like you

like Peino all right? You know no, but I like the Pino family. I actually know him. Is there your sponsors? I just know the family, all right, usually get paid. He's got a thirty ft on the bump for that one guy I have. I hope Gays has a lot of good things to show us when the season comes. One thing you know is is you're not seeing any You're not really seeing a lot of this offense that you're that you're not gonna see. You You're not seeing in this offense what you're going to see in the

regular season right now. And I'm like, guy, you gotta calm down. Man. He doesn't want to show anything like you're not trying to win by showing everybody all his trick plays in the second preseason game. Um E J Marino on Facebook, same story every week. Wants to clean up, continue to kill drives with penalties. That to me, that to me, you're just so people know you're circling number one,

number one with a bullet every game. Eliminate penalties. It's just it's just clean it up, man, clean it up. Both you've beaten it up, you've preached it. I think we're all frustrated with I find myself all here we go again, poor griffs up there with here we go again. Fellas got to clean up and we followed up with another one. Lucky you don't get another one. So you know, I'm sitting there watching and moving down the field. All

of sudden, boom you see a flag. No it's on us, and I think it was a holding on forget who it was. Huncil had the first one inside, got beat inside. Here we go, take them back ten yards and you know that. You don't forget the touchdown now, although they did kind of creep back in there and then they went back a little more, you know. But yeah, it's it's it's just got to be good in the red zone. But it all starts with you give yourself a chance.

If you stay away from those freaking penalties, well, you know, you you five yard picks like it's like getting sacked, right, it's like getting sacked. Now you're you know, Regg Davis from Facebook to all social to all you social media gms. It's preseason chill out, chill acts a little bit. I get that the little but look, yeah, look, I don't know.

I'm not against fans looking at this and and and and feeling anxious for what they want to see, and you know, being concerned about about things that they don't like, and look at the guys and saying, hey, it's kid, Albert Wilson man. He looked pretty good out there. Look how much better jakeem Grant has got and Kenyan Drake and all this stuff. You know, So I look one they carry in second, if they've been around Dolphin fans, they mostly football fans, pretty smart both. They know what's

going on. They don't have to be told. They know when things aren't good and why. And you know, for those of you who think that Dolphin fans don't don't there there are not many of them around. It was down the field before the game, I did the prese the pregame show for h for CBS four with John Kjemmy and uh, John goes Man. Look a lot of Dolphin fans here, I go. John. You know you don't go on the road with it, this team that much.

Everywhere we go. You know this, no matter what you say that this this football team, this franchise still and look at maybe hungover from the seventeen and old team and all the sixt all the success they have back there, but this team and their fans traveled pretty well, Joe, everyday we go. You know you can see always amazed when bo I always say this, I know you agree. If we are ever good again, really good, Uh, this thing's then explode, no doubt about it. Facebook, Bill McMaster.

We have arguably the best past catching rookie tight in the league in Gasecki. But he's working on blocking skills. Well, look, you you got I've said, I've said it more times than not, and I'll say it again. I don't care if you can block or not. But it doesn't mean you're not gonna work on it while he's here. Doesn't doesn't mean you're not gonna you're gonna say. Look, you're not gonna know he he wants to get in, he wants to prove that he can block a little bit,

and look he gets thrown around a little bit. Those guys, those big guys, get a hold of him. You put a defensive and outside of a tight end and rush him up the field. That titan is not gonna have much chance unless well unless, but stay. Why don't you tell everybody what it was like going through, because that's what she did to me my freaking years. Strew me around the whole Damn you, I thought gonna get caught. Thank god they moved you to defense in But what

was that like? Throwing me around at two or twenty pounds all day? The whole day. I remember calling my dad, going, bow, Camper has just thrown me like twenty five more time to day. I said, it's a humiliais on the field. I get to watch it on tape when we go in front. You know, you know what I like because we were back in the day, we were Joe, you know how big were we were big on and I look, I bring it up all the time. We're big on jam and tight ends. Not let him off the line

of scrimmage, not not letting him off the land. You can't get off the line of scrip and my dad, you were very good at it too. Can't catch the ball. And I spent a lot of time working on Belie those long ears. You know, it's so funny when you come here and they don't do it anymore. And so you know, I finally call home and hey, Dad, how's it going? Dad? It was sure a lot easier getting off the football like cow than it is here. Man, I said, these guys are like I hear Arns Barker jam,

I'm jam mom. I said, I've sent more time on top of tackles and getting thrown into tackles, and he used, I mean he was that was his thing, and and to the point where he says, I don't care if you're in coverage. If as long as you're jamming somebody, you get yourself back into coverage, because if you're jamming somebody, you're talking about taking arount. So I would always like when the Titan would take an inside release, try to take an inside release, and I would just get in

a show and try to jam. I try to jam all the way down to the center if I could, and then I might hit a couple of centers too. I know I hit some tackles and guards, but now no one does it and you guys, guys running down the field like uh uh. But look, they're gonna work on his blocking skills and they're gonna do that, but make no mistake of four catches sixty two yards and that's what I want to see. And now now having said that, I've spent some time watching durham smythe that

he can block, you know, that's the reputation. He came in with catch looking block and I've seen him catch by the way, But the kid could block a couple of catches last game. First time we've seen him all throwing down the scene to a tight endy cot running play. They ran a little scoop and he kind of got underneath the guy to see him. I haven't talked to anybody moving up. Oh yeah, moving up the ladder for

playing time. So don't don't be surprised if if you get early into this season and you're playing a lot of two tights with those two guys in there, because that's that's why they got them and that's what they're they're gonna do. Um. Carol Gilmour from Facebook let's stay up. Let's stay open minded until preseason game number four. Then we should panic. If the Dolphins don't approve, it could be a long season if they don't start scoring touchdowns.

I agree with that, but look, game game, don't worry about getting Game four is gonna be a that's gonna be a ship show. I mean you know that. That's just none of the starters playing a very few. Uh, You're gonna have guys out there on special teams trying to trying to grab that last two or three roster spots there and do that. So that's you know, this is the game. I mean, this is you know this, You're you're you're gonna get your will have play on

on this on Saturday night. Very physical. This can be the most physical team that you play in preseason because they are they have been tough. And this is going back bow. If there's one team that's given us fits the Baltimore Ravens with Reid and Ed read and go

until now. But you look, you you go back to them when they had Sarah Goose and all those guys and that as we're I was talking with Jeff before we started the show, the Baltimore Ravens have been the toughest, the toughest matchup that the Dolphins have had since they became a franchise. Question beat him a couple of times, but for the most part, they just just come in and just you know, personnel changes, people change, they come and go, but they still just they give. They give.

Just Sugs had a sack again. Like Suggs was about eighty. He's been playing forever and he's still still had it. Yeah, yeah, crazy Robert Chanko from Facebook Penali's stopped all the drives, which are excellent, gets a good defense. We're heading the right direction. Tony will looks sharp. Any complete control. If we can stop the run, we'll be good. Yeah. I think you Look, if you can stop the penalties and

stop have penalties stopped drives. Look, if they stopped drives by beating you physically defensively, then that's that's the way it is. But beating yourself with penalties, you can't do that. So that's we We've beat that dead horse time and time again. Uh. And I look, and I think I think Ryan. I think Ryan for the most part is has been about what I expected. We've seen him run,

we've seen him get out of the pocket. We've seen him throw nice passes, you know, We've see him throw something you'd like maybe to be a little a little head of guys here and there. But look, he's he's like these other guys. He hasn't played for for a year and a half. He's got to get his game to the to the level he wants to be. I think he's playing a lot of confidence and he knows it's a big year. I think there's urgency from him. I don't think, you know, let's see how he plays.

We've seen the short stuff though, bo he's been very good. Dropped in some passes, including one that if Albert Wilson and on a comeback, beautiful throw and catch. So you like what you've seen so far. Um out of this offensive line, both run and pass, I think it's been really good. Got clean up. We've had two penalties, one on Ton Sold the first games one James. Outside of that, they've actually watching those guys. They've been pretty good. That

offensive line has been pretty darn good. I actually feel good about they've They've given him time to throw Ryan Tannehill time to throw the football and look around and and and find some guys. So yeah, I feel pretty good about the offensive line. But what it was two weeks ago we're out there going, oh my god, defense is killing the offensive. I've been around a little bit, not a whole lot, sitting and killed gore. Those two are those are two. Those are two throwback old school

offensive alignment. They don't care. They look sloppy as shit there. You know, they don't They're not gonna they're not gonna win no beauty contests. They're they're you know, they don't get the great body. You know, they don't get that. They don't look like they were like Cam Wake, you know. But but I tell these guys are they're all about just moving people out, protecting their quarterback. And and I like their I like their I like the way they play,

and I like their attitude. They don't talk hard to anybody. I've gone by. I'm coming, hey, how you guys doing, And he's looking like, yeah, get out of it, stop bothering me. Yeah, they have been a little cold, coming in like, yeah, go talk to everybody else. Well, I saw I thought I thought they were gonna I thought they were gonna jump. I was walking by the you know, we're back in there where the where their meeting rooms

were up in Carolina. And I walked by and they like a little love soap for love seat there and and sitting was sitting was there, and I was Ted Larson laying and I do a little before I go I go home. That looks pretty cute. And they kind of gave me a look like get your ass out of here, right yeah, held No, I thought it was funny and I gotta laugh out of it. They didn't seem it didn't quite go over so big y guys, what's happening? How's it doing in here? And ericin is here? Everybody?

It's a little it's it's been a little hot in here, you know. Yeah, well the lady next door keeps open that door and in a little a little puff of the warm air comes in here. You have to worry about this room. It's always cool. You want to cool off. Coming to day, caught the end of practice out there. Yeah, they were going going up. Actually, they did a lot of work against Baltimore, a lot of situational work, it seemed like on seven on seven team drills, individual technique,

all that stuff. A lot of guys wearing other numbers representing the Ravens defense and offense and special teams, so a lot of good work. Adam said he was going to treat it like a game week in terms of preparation, the way they go into a game, that the different times for practice, at different times for meetings, the way they go about the periods that practice. A lot of dedication to team and attention to details. So that's what

I saw today. And that being said, though you're expecting, you expect the Ravens to be doing the same thing, and every team in the league is is going through that. This is a one game, you your game plan, it's the dress rehearsal going through it. And like I said, what we were saying earlier, most of those veterans around this league aren't can play much game much in next week's game. Short week. You're gonna play Thomas play Saturday, then they play Thursday again on the road, so it's

gonna be a very short week for them. None, No, I'd be I'm be surprised with a ton of them. Don't even bother going up to Atlanta for that game. You may be right, but to try we could use that. But you see a lot of guys, I call it sixty through ninety. Playing in that last game a great opportunity for the quarterbacks and everybody else at the back end, if you're maybe looking at one or two spots open. We saw it last year, man, We saw Chase Allen go for double digit tackles, and we saw David Fel's

that last game against Minnesota. Who's it going to be this year? That's right? Hey, John, Joe and I kind of look back at the game and uh and kind of went went through it just quickly. Uh your thoughts from from the game, like, didn't like, got to do this better? Uh? Like what I saw with this well number one, you guys, definitely I would think touched on it. Finishing, you know, on offense, find in a way for that first group to get into the end zone. They've moved

the football fairly efficiently. But when you get inside the twenty, you get inside the ten, you don't want to have to settle for field goals because if that's a trait that carries over to the regular season, I'm not so sure this team can overcome that in a close game, or you trade a couple of field goals for for touchdown opportunities, and now you're looking at a double digit deficit instead of maybe being ahead by a score. So I think those are the things. And and then the

two trades you really want to change. Other that are mental a little bit uh and some are physical. Those negative runs that once you get going on a drive and you rush, you rush for negative two or negative four. Can you can you leave that out of the drive sequence or can you make a play to overcome that bad play somewhere along the line. And then maybe that holding call or that penalty that kind of creeps up marry that in with the negative play. Those are the

two things that really stalled. I think the offense. You know, I've I've watched the handful of preseason games, these other games around him, and they're replaying them all the time. She can catch him on the NFL network or whatever, and so I'm looking at half full. You know, I've

seen more this year in the preseason. I've seen more runs for losses, drop for loss you know that stretch because you know you run that stretch and one guy slips underneath and and it just seems like right away, I've seen a lot of that and not not not strictly the dolfense I'm talking about handfull team. Yeah, a

lot more. And maybe it's just these guys getting you know, getting the right feel and well, anytime you're running laterally hit along the line of scrimmage, you're allowing that defensive end or defensive tackle to kind of cross your face. And as soon as he does, that kind of limits where you can go with the football because if you

cut back here, they come right. You know. It used to be kind of that downhill between the tackles and if you if you miss, at least you're gonna get a piece of that lineback or a defensive end and knock him somewhere. So that burning back and cut off of him. What do you see when you uh, when you've watched Ryan as a quarterback, I've seen the ball come out pretty cleanly. I've seen him, you know, be very accurate with the football. But I still think that

I was glad, I'll say I'll add to this. I was glad to see the ball go outside the numbers. Against Carolina, we ran a lot of stuff which you came and a lot with Albert that were out to the outside of the field where it was timing routes. The ball was fairly down the field, it wasn't along the line of scrimmage. So I like that a little bit. And I hope that Ryan and the Dolphins build upon

that against the Ravens. The only thing I really haven't seen is is kind of you want to see that explosive play somewhere and maybe it hasn't been in the game plan because it hasn't been called. You know, maybe that play that shot down the field, that skinny post or that deep in and you'd like to see that chunk yardage play somewhere down in that in a drive. Can I give you a third game emphasis this week? I'd love to see Hi, I'm not even sing in the end zone and if if it's in the I

think Bo brought this up earlier. It would be good to see him get a chance to catch a football or two in the preseason. Yes, and and and I'd like to see him get some routes in the ends. I'd like to see him get get some red zones opportunities, get some of those fades and it looks how about Durham down the middle, that was pretty good to see talk about I don't throw him the ball though. I mean, look, I'd rather have him throwing the ball to him go

after attack the football. But but you at least like to see him in there and watch him watching because I keep trying to watch him watching run routes. Right, See how he's running routes. See how we were separation, separation he's getting and you know it seems like, you know, it seems like he's he's doing pretty well at that point. You're not doing as well as Albert Wilson. Now we got the workhorse in here, the speed it's workhorses, a speed horse, and he's looking at another start this week.

To man, you're going against Baltimore in practice out there today, it was good? Yeah. Is it nice too? Is it nice for you, uh, being a veteran to get back in that frame of mind where it's not training camp now now you're going through regular season mode. You having the same types of practices, you're going home, you're doing

all those types of things. I gotta feel good for you. Yeah, yeah, you know, just to get back in that that routine that you've got during the season that you kind of figured out for yourself of how you know things work and how your body adapting just the thing. So yeah, to get back in uh to the full season in

season mode. Yeah, it's one of my favorite days. Was always that first day when you've been in training camp and all of a sudden you break camp and then you go to practice and you get to drive home psychologically, David with God bless you. You're not with the city. Yeah, that it was nice to get home. That's big. Yeah, good for you too. Huh. How do you feel um about the you've played during training camp? Have you accomplished

some of the things you wanted to accomplish? And I'm sure there's still things that you're trying to to improve on, but you're going to training camp with a few things in your mind of look when this training camp shiver, I want to be better at this where, I want to be better at that right, I want to I want to learn to run this route just a little bit better. Do Do you have those intentions when you

walk into training camp? Yeah? Definitely, since um I was able to get in and get into O, T, A. S and you know, kind of get a feel of the playbook and how things want to be running. So you go into those things, your notes that you came without O t s and things that you want to get better. But um, you know, besides getting into that game speed and just just knowing everything, just those little details that you you come from out O tas with that you you've been working on. You're trying to get

into two camp. You know, you get the defense becomes a little more physical, so you're you're able to to work off them a little more. So Yeah, definitely to get prepared for, you know, to go out there and fight your time. Me and Ryan Tannehill looks to be really good. Beautiful play that on the comeback perfectly between two defenders, dropped the ball right in there for you. How much time have you spent with him in the off season before this camp started, we threw a ton

um Tuesdays and Thursdays. I believe it was every week since Um actually before um O TS hit we we got together. UM good tell me even you were in Kansas City, No, not doing the off season once Um, you know, things got squared away of me coming here. Um he reached out him and Kenny let me know that was going on Tuesday and Thursday every week. So before got in we were throwing there. Um, you know of course during o ts and and soon as we broke out, we was back on the same schedule. So um,

we we've we've done a lot of throwing. Um from time, from the time I got here to now, you've been the middle of a little controversy and you probably didn't even realize it with the media guys. So everybody keeps making reference to you being a slot receiver and inside receiver, and the coach keeps going, Adam GATESI no, no, no, he's outside, so so help and he let me have it too, because I was watching tapes on you and you lined up in Kansas City a lot and had

some of your big plays inside. I saw you outside too, but inside, so I was thinking, yeah, he's gonna play something. So you're living in what is it? Yeah? Definitely outside. Um, that's my main focus right now. Um, you know, just just getting to playbook. Of course, everybody moves around, but you know, primary I'm outside. What was your excitement level?

I know it was it was just the second preseason game, but no, when you were up knowing you were going to get a lot of attention, a lot of balls throwing your way at Carolina and then being able to come through and being able to work on your craft that you've learned at training camp to playbook and extensively going inside and outside and being able to be productive in the game. Yeah, that's that's the next step. Um, you know, just just by getting in in there and

working with the reps, with the ones doing practice. I'm just saying how he called plays and what he's saying on the defense and stuff like that. But you know, being able to get out there against a different team and get some game game reps and game action. It's a it's a lot a lot different. But for us that you know, continue to to connect on things and continue to run smoothly. I think that's gonna be um

something that's helped us in the long run. Offensively, you guys haven't been able to stick the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. Uh, it's frustrating to you or when you look at things on tape and you guys talk about them in the meeting rooms. Are you feeling good about this offense? You're a little concerned since since you haven't been able to put the points on the board that you've been been trying to get up since in these first two preseasons. UM. Kind of frustrating

just just knowing that that we can do it. Um, but but for us to know exactly what we're doing wrong and that that you know, we we know we can fix it. That that kind of ease up off of off of the off of everything. But you know, if we don't go down there, you know and shoot ourselves in the foot with ton of teas that that we can help ourselves out, you know, and being a little better on third down, I feel like we're looking at a whole different offense and and and that's our thing.

That's what that's what we're looking at. We we won't have this, We're not having these conversa stations, if you know, if we take care of of those penalties and take care of business on thirds down. So that's that's our mindset. You know, we're going to the next game, you know, just doing better on third down and trying to stop the penalties. I feel like everything else will take care

of yourself. Can you get a feel for how good the team can be when you look around when certain guys come back and all you guys, you get to feel like, hey, you're you're on a pretty darn good team in Kansas City that this thing's got a chance to be pretty good. Definitely. Um. You know, like like like we were able to move the ball all the way we did. Um, we wasn't able to capitalize with seven points, but we were going down there getting three and you know, just the next step is turning three

points to seven points. So UM, I feel like we're on tractor to do something great. Um. We we all got to continue to buy in a little more um to to stop shooting ourselves in the foot. But once you know, we get over that little hump, it's gonna be. It's gonna be on the paper. I've been you been having fun here? Definitely. You have to like this group of guys that you're that you're dealing with. You got a nice it's kind of a nice look from from

the entire team. You've got some veteran guys, but there's a lot of young guys this team. There's rookies and their guys, second third year guys. So it's a it's a it's a young football team, um with the veterans. Do you like that mix? That's that's here? I do. UM, it's competition, you know, the young guys want to come in and prove themselves, and the and the older guys want to let let everybody know that I can still play this game. So you know, it's all about competition.

Once we get out there and start competing against each other, you know, like the receivers in our room, you know, we we we compete against each other. And and once that that started going, a little more is gonna it's gonna look better on film as an overall group. So, like like you said that, to have the competition inside the building and just being able to work against each other every day is great for the team. What's your

relationship been like with head coach Adam Gates. It seems like he likes to interact with you guys a lot, and he's always around you giving you a little point or giving you a little pat or giving you a little bit of advice. What's it been like for a head coach to be so hands on with you guys. Yeah, that's great, man, Um, we talk all day throughout the day. You know, for him to be in such a form SMANI coach, Um, you know, I talked to him a lot.

But for somebody you know that can come up to you, you know, during practice, you know, during a game, or or just in the hallway and let you know what he's seen right then and there and he can help you fix it. It's a blessing, UM for for you know, to have the headman to tell you exactly what you want. You can't you can't get around that, you can you can't ask for anything better. Your Florida kid, you you're up in Porte Lucy, Yes, you're you're you're in the

foster care system, to foster care families you live with. UH, you still carry that with you and I know you did a camp. You do a camp every year of St. Lucy the last a couple of years. How important is that for you to reach out and uh and help those kids and then just remember what you had gone through and impart that knowledge on them. And hey, look here, if if I got through this and got to where I'm at, there's certainly an opportunity for each and every

one of you guys to do the same thing. Definitely. UM. You know, my biggest thing is, UM was kind of self doubt grown up and just wondering if if what was for me was for me? And you know, I had a couple of people come in my life and tell me it was for me, this is for you, and and nobody can stop it. So I feel like this is why I'm here to to let the kids know that what they want to do, they have the right to do it and nobody can tell them otherwise.

So just for that that little thing for me to be in a position I am in to to, you know, just have kids look at me and how their eyes get bigger, and for me to just tell them look them in the eye and let them know truly that you know, you can become what you want to become. I think it's awesome, you know. I mean, I mean, not been in that situation, I can't speak for it, not not walking into those types of shoes, but I would imagine the kids that come to the camp, uh,

to have you come out and do this for them. Um, it's probably not a lot of types in their life. They said, I have some of the cares for them and goes out of their way to do something special for him. So it's got it. It's got it for them. It's got to be just a just a great experience. Yeah, definitely. Um, you know, I get cards and and thank you notes you know all year long. Um, they definitely showed me how much I appreciate how much they appreciate me, and

I definitely appreciate them. You get to get back up that way much. I mean still in South Florida. We we call you South Florida up there. But it's a little bit of what ninety minutes about nine okay, yeah, earlier earlier during during the summer, I was able to get there often, very often. UM, trying to slow down now, but you know it's it's ninety minutes. It takes you know, three hours to get there and back, so it's nothing

to make the trip. Um, it's a blessing to be so close for to have my family here to you know, just to watch me, you know, go out there and work every day. So it's great being a Florida kids that that did that play into your decision to want to come come out here and play definitely big time. Um. It just you know, kind of give me a whole

different motivation. Um, not just to you know become you know towards that veteran where I'm becoming you know, better at my craft and people starting to acknowledge me on the field, but you know, off the field, to help my foundation that's dedicated out of floor.
