The Audible Ep. 4 | Albert Wilson

you go, Joe. I am, you're on your fifth wedding marriage. I am buster good. She goes, we got a little time to kill until we can see our daughters. She's busy doing her events up there, and I go, let's go walk around the sporting stuff over here. She goes, where are we going? I go, oh, there happens to me. Tracked me. I go, there's a track meeting. A lot of the South Floridia kids are running and including Mary a coheritage plantation relay teams. She didn't know what to

relay team. Right, that stuff was, I said, the four by one team, four by one hundreds and fastest team in the country for high school and I said, Patrick, Sir tan Son is on that team. I'd like to see him in this swords kids. The fastest kid in the country. So she was trooper. I got two hours at track from I watched two hour two hours. Not many people could pull that on before Easter weekend where they did. They have Easter engs at the end of the finish line, both of you guys hit the Easter

family tradition much better night. So I guess I'm assuming you didn't make it a church either. Then no, you know that's slow man. I had no, no, no, I didn't make it this church either. So I made a Church of St. I was there. Look, yeah, okay, So they got some news going on, a lot of stuff on the on the program to do, We're gonna talk to receiver Albert Wilson, one of the new covers from Kansas City. And you look at Albert Wilson. Here's the guy speedies, a four or four type of a guy.

This guy can make big plays for you. I really don't know much about him. Didn't pay that, you know, didn't you know, focus on him. When the Dolphins played Kansas City late in the season, but here's a guy that that you know you're hoping can fill in for the loss of Jarvis along with Danny Amndola, spread the catches out like like Adam Gays has talked about. But another guy that can give you a home run ball

rather than a move the chain guy. Well, listen, having a guy that can play inside and outside, that can run four fours. You can't have enough of those guys, I'm all. You know, we talked about the speed package a year ago. I just got to go faster. Listen, you get all those guys you want because it just potentially a guy misses a tackle or a guy breaks the tackle, and you've got big plays. We just need

more of him. Something this offense has been lacking with some other problems, but having speed, you can't have enough in the vertical passing game. You know, you go back to what Ryan did well when he was back on the field, and that I thought improved, you know it, the ball down the field, getting more accurate throwing the football down the field with Kenny Stills, that was a big hook up, you know, two years ago. You go back.

Now you've got a guy with great speed, you match him with Grant on the outside that can play X and Z on either side. You've got some vertical threats down the field. And Joe, you make a good point in Boat about making guys miss. I think that's what Wilson does best in traffic, you know, making that you turn, run a little bit and that jump cut, getting around guys and moving the chains that could help this offense.

And you you talk about Ryan a little bit. You remember early his early years, first two or three years, Oh, he can't throw the long ball. Camp through the long ball. I think two years ago he answered that question when the that was his biggest improvement. People want to talk about his awareness in the pocket getting a little bit better. People want to talk about tucking the football when you need to and getting a first down with his legs

because he is that athletic. His biggest leap for me is being accurate down the field forty yards plus thirty yards plus putting a little bit more air because it was flat coming out for the first couple of years, getting used to getting accustomed to letting guys and throwing them, making him run and get it. I thought that was a big worked on it though. It was one thing about Ryan. I know, we talked about it, and I

like fans to know this guy works hard. Man. He maybe some of it's not natural, but he works hard to get better. You tell him he's got a weakness, he works on it. He's outstanding outside the pocket throwing on the run, but his drop back and hit and throws down and his timing with his guys. He's working with those guys now, man to get timing. They're working

on it. And if he loses his job or they draft a quarterback, which I know, it ain't gonna be from him prepared for everybody out there, that's a that's a that's an anti Ryan guy. Oh, he was just a wide receiver. All the things that you hear. He can't throw the ball downfield, this and that just not gonna be an elite guy. How are you gonna claim it? Yeah, I'm with you, Joe. It certainly isn't isn't for lack

of preparation the guys in the meeting rooms. He's constantly keeping himself up to speed on everything they're doing the field. Works as hard as anybody out there at home off seat. I mean, he's look, you couldn't ask for a better guy. When it comes to the work ethic that he's brought to and and and we forget that the toughness that

he has, he's got that. I think that sometimes people outside voices we always talk about and and focus on these are things he can't do, Okay, these are the things that this guy can't do, no matter if it's Ryan, no matter whatever it is. Sometimes you have to focus on what does he do well? And when you start talking about that, the list starts growing a little bit longer and longer when it applies to Ryan Tannehill. Because

we thought I couldn't throw the ball deep. We thought maybe he's not the best leader, maybe he's not the rob rob, maybe he's not the vocal guy. They can throw latent games, Magan Makan plays. You know all the things that the tractors said he can't do these things, Well, you start checking off the list. Some of the things are getting off that list. And he's answered a lot of questions over the years. There's no question about that. Now he's got to answer the question you of coming

back from men, coming back and doing that. And because quite frankly, one of the things that really when Ryan plays at his best, that ability to force the team to respect the running quarterback, a guy that can tact the line of scrimmage on that little that little lead option out there where that little zone read where he can tuck the ball under. You know the value that he that that he got out of that was it

was really something that that made this offense click. So you know that to me, of all the things with him coming back from from those those knee problems, can he come back and be confident enough to plant that plant that foot in the ground. And because the last time he made a cut, we were here at going out of bounds and a harmless play just rolling out and ended ended the season. All that came from talking about Albert Wilson. I thought that was I thought that

was Easter and Joe's big goes right. He started with one's and stuff the winding road may find myself. We're talking about Willis. How the hell do we get to Tanny? I started, you know what, you know what, I went to church on Sunday. I get those conversations going in about halfway through the conversation, someone says something that cuts it. For about five seconds, I couldn't come back and I go I forgot what I was talking about. Jimmy, I

got kathlet guilt five seconds ago. I forgot what I forgot. So that's it anyway, So we got all that. We're gonna get to that. We're gonna get to the Albert Wilson interview. Talking a lot about the different things. There's been some moves in the a f C East, including the Miami Dolphins, including New England Patriots. We'll talk about that a little bit. We're gonna talk about the draft a little bit. Started to draft not not that far away. You know, we're gonna be. We're gonna be, you know,

neck deep in the draft here pretty soon. So we'll talk about that a little bit. So a lot of stuff to get to. And I want to remind you, Joe, you know this is a podcast, right, We're doing a podcast now. You gotta look for it. There's places to get at. Apple Music, pretty good place. I listen to Apple Music every now and then, need too. I just got that by my kids. Yeah, I like that. Like a month ago, I just found out that Apple had of music. I just found out a month ago I

was paying for it. Yeah, that's how I found I've known I was paying all along dot com. You can find it my Miami Dolphins mobile appter Joel and they can't figure out how to get on his phone tune in radio, which I've never heard of and don't know what that is. Uh, episodes dropped every week. If we are we dropping on Thursday, they were dropping on Thursday these days, right, Logan. Whenever Logan says we're dropping, we're dropping.

You love that, this whole dropping thing now that you started, Logan. When they dropping Thursday mornings, that's Logan on the program. Just so you know, Logan, I think Logan gets uh what are you called scale for being getting your voice on the show. You get the same as week. It's good. He'll jump in, but he's good. Logan gets the same for doing the show that we do. I was telling this story the other day. This is a this is a classic. I'm in college, Okay, my buddies a model.

He's going down and he's doing something for Remember Burt Reynolds had this uh TV show bal Striker. It was right. So we're gonna go out all night. We're gonna go out all night. I'm just gonna be driving around with him and I'll take him to West Palm Beach at six in the morning for his audition thing. He has to be there for an extra. So we go out

all night, have a great time. Go to West Palm Beach and they have this big tent, all this food, eggs, benedict, all this stuff for all these actors and actresses and all the extras. So I just, you know, kind of mosey and don't bother anybody, sit up my own little place, having like a croissant and something else to eat. I'm the one of the last guys in this tent. They go, hey, you gotta get on the bus. I said, no, no, I don't have to get on the bus. I'm not

get on the bus. So I grabbed my stuff. I go on the bus and I passed my buddy and he's be like with his face, what are you doing on the bus? I said, well, the guy told me to come on. I'm just going on right. So I sit down with all the extras. We go over the bridge of West Palm Beach downtown. They get in. Everybody's off the bus. That let everybody get off. I'm finishing my stuff right, little hammered still from the night before, I had a great time waiting outside where everybody's signing up.

You know agency, this agency that they go, hey, you gotta go sign up, then you gotta go to wardrobe right away. I said no, but sir on night, get down there sign up. So I'm behind this girl in line. She puts ABC Casting, so I put my name on it. ABC Casting. Get down to the truck, right I run down to the trailer. They put me in this copsuit. I'm trying to tell the guy I'm not really not supposed to be here, so you've got a five minutes to get on set. I got a billy club and

a face in a hat, and I'm running down. I got these shoes on and stuff. I'm running down downtown West Palm Beach. I finally get to the procession. It's a church and they've got all the extras lined up as cops going up these like three or four different scales of stairs, and Burt Reynolds and the girl that he's with and wherever they're gonna go more, you know, to the funeral. They're coming in. They're actually they're shooting the show up. No, so I'm on, yeah, I get

into this thing. So I'm the last cop standing at the bottom of the steps because that's I just got there. I'm out of breath, I'm running. I'm like nineteen years old, right, So all of a sudden, Burt Reynolds comes out with the thing and they're going up the steps and they go, God, God, this isn't work, and hold on, let's do it again. So Burt ends up standing right next to me. Now, earlier that winter, I had met Burt Reynolds through Dan Marino because the bottoms, you know, oh this wine, he

took us these places. So he's standing right next to me. So I said, hey, Bert, I just wanted to say hi again. I met you with Damn. My name is John Jemmy goes quarterback and Pitt I said yeah. He goes, you beat us seventeen sixteen last year. He goes. He says, let's everybody take five. There's an arm around me and he starts walking around. Now I look at what my buddy. My buddies go, man, what are you doing? So I'm talking to Bert. So now fast forward two months later.

My buddy goes, hey, did you get paid for that? I said, well, yeah, what'd you get? He goes, I got seventy five bucks. I said, I got ABC gasting. That's all I did. I said that the greatest ever. That was just talking about great, that's good story, how you got again and having me One time I got a job at a gas station. I told my buddy, I said, hey, I as you got a job. Where you get a job. I got a job in the Apollo gas station. He comes over and he was a

brown nose guy, a kind of like John. He comes over, gets the job, and then it becomes my manager in one days happening. He got a job. The next day he's a manager, and I'm just a slap you know. You never know, and you never know anyway. So look, it's gonna drop on Thursday. Catch him and just join us every week and you can send your stuff in so we can get some good, pretty good questions over

the last couple of weeks, which is nice. It's nice to interact with nice to interact interact with the fans. So you can send those questions in on Facebook or Twitter eating every week and find out what's going on. So let's get going on this thing. Joe Uh, Joe

and John Uh. First of all, like I said, we'renna talking about the draft a little bit, but in this kind of affects the draft, certainly from a standpoint of the New England Patriots and Big News Today, Brandon cooks Uh traded by the New England Patriots get the first two first round draft picks. Are they get a first round draft pick in a four four for that one? They've already got the So they got the twenty three

and the thirty first pick in the draft. And I just keep looking up the road and seeing the New York Giants and jeez, we like two first round draft picks Rodell Beckham, And I'm just singing, no, no, you're safe. For one thing, they don't like paying you. That's because that contract was about ready to come up and it was gonna cost him fourteen or fifteen million a year to keep on. Yeah, but that that that you don't

think you got to. You got two pretty lousy first round picks down there, closer to second round than first round. And in my book, when you get down that that area and you got a guy like Odell Beckham hanging out there, you don't think that's got to be part of the conference. And gronk and go anywhere. I think Belichick is putting up with whatever he may not like

and going he's the best tight end. And by the way, he's got a front league contract at an eight million dollar base a year to be the best tight end. I'll take the only thing about him and he just you know, he's having a tough time staying on the field. You know he I mean, he's got he's the he's the big kid you used to play with in the park where he's running down the field and like eight guys jump on dragging him down the field. You know.

It's two back surgeries and knee surgery and a bad concussion at the end of the year that he missed some games. Write no doubt about it. So the other move the Dolphin, former Dolphin. Now he's become former Dolphin defensive end. Terence Today reports out there on the Buffalo website or Facebook page where they had logan Facebook page or website, Twitter, which is even more even more sweet birds Twitter, which is more you know, that's gospel. That

is the gospel when you're on Twitter. Terence Today, former Dolfin defensive end, signs with the Buffalo bill So we'll be dealing with Terence today. I always like Terence Today a good player. Uh. And when he came in, he gave you good effort and good guy. You know, here's the guy who comes from Mariss little Meriss College and you know he's he's he's been a league now for four years for him with with the guys they have, let's let's be honest. Yeah, there's defensive ends. He wasn't

he not better any of those guys. We look at you look at that crew. You've got Robert quin, Andre Branch, William Hayes, Cam Wake, Charles Harris, Terence Fordet was part of that group. Cam and Malvo another guy in there like yeah, man Malvo didn't help him either, bite showing that he could play at the end of the year. So they're there. Yeah, I mean we talked about it a couple of weeks ago. The you know, the vast number of defensive ends they got, well one of them

is gone in Terence today. So kind of changes the landscape in the in the East a little bit in the FC East. It's gonna be interesting to see what New England does with that. Uh, with the three it is. The other thing is free agency. Free agency June thirteen over with. I mean it's over until June thirteenth. They'll come back or June one. I'm sorry, they'll come back June one. And and then you get that second phase

after the drect half this and that. This guy now becomes a little expendable, and so you have some other guys. The Dolphins get the sume money kicking in at that exactly that money kicks in, so their salary cap gets a little more friendly as far as they're concerned. So free agency done for now. Uh So you gotta turn your attention to draft and and here we and that's it, you know, but you know, maybe I'm the only guy here, Joe that kind of keeps looking at this saying, here's

the last couple of drafts. You've had a handful of guys from each one of those drafts be pretty productive players for you. If you can duplicate that again this time and get somebody, you know, get two or three really good impact guys and some helpers out there, then you're starting to build a pretty good stack of draft choices that are that are staying on your team. They're on the field, that are on the field and playing. They got they just all got to get better. All

those guys got to continue the way we saw. I hate to bring it up Kenyan Drake getting a chance to play. He was a front line running back to those last five six games. We need that growth from Ts all those X Man's got to go to the next step, which he got real good. Next step for him is being consistent. Tunsil and DeVante Parker man right at the top of the list. If he can stay healthy,

there is no question. And I have more debates with people about DeVante Parker and I said, listen, if he can stay healthy for the most part, you're gonna see You're gonna see some good numbers and get more. He'll get more there. Last year, Joe, I have to say the teas was out on DeVante because you watch him in O T S do you watch him in training camp and you go, we've got something. Specially, this kid is really showing me that maybe I was I was

one of those doubters. Maybe I was wrong. This kid is ready to go and you get a little tweak, and that's the thing I think for DeVante that he needs to be able to fight through. Everybody's gonna get bumps and bruises. Other guys react differently. You know, certain players can play through those things. Certain players they get a little bit out of line and they're just not right. He's got to find a way to fight through and be that player, whether he's nicked or not. You know that.

And he had an ankle ankle problem. That that that affected him, right, that was that was kind together. But you're you're a receiver, you're somebody. Look and you play you play football. I don't care what level you play. Your ankles are important. You're you're because you're running everything. Uh. And there's some guys that can tweak an ankle, spraining an ankle and just strap that bitch up and go

and not even think about it. Then there's those other guys that you get a little something in there, you get a little stretching that ligament in your ankle, and man, they just can't they just can't go. And you hope that's not you hope you can fight through that. Not because because look this, it's not the last time he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna twist an ankle, not last time he's gonna he's gonna have to fight through an

injury that maybe it's not an injury. Maybe he's just pain that you got to fight through and continue to play at a high level. I remember spraining my ankle. I blew my knee out. My rookie year, missed the whole season, third preseason game. We're getting ready play to Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, Thursday, our last hard practice. I wrenched my I'm I twist my ankle like big time. You know, I'm going ash ship, you know, and I'm going you know, I don't want to be this guy.

I ain't gonna be this guy. Ain't gonna be that You're you didn't play off season last year, now you can't play again. That's what I got me. Healed up real quickly, so I went. I remember going in and he says, he said, well look you, I say, co don't worry about it. I'm playing. Don't worry about it, all right, Yeah, we need you to get out there and play, you know. So I strapped that bitch up. I said, look, I put it. I went to that game. I said, I said, you you you put that thing.

It's I don't want it to move. So I was wearing a size twelve on one shoe and a size fourteen on the other shoe, just to get over the over thing. And I went out and played and I couldn't move very well. And I remember this. I remember in the in the tapes, in the meeting or in the filming. You don't you think, well, they're gonna give you a break because you got a bad ankle. Hey, hell no, God damn it. You gotta get out there. You gotta get upfield. You gotta get out there. Why

but Mike, I don't want you played? Didn't you play well? Then you got damn it. That was the most frustrating part of the old NFL is you either shoot your leg and you're out there thinking you you were helping the guys and you wanted to make sure you're part of it. And then when you didn't play well and I had those, and when you don't play well and you get your ass chewed and you're like, wow, yeah, but I went out and played played like Ship. Wasn't

any good. You're playing like Ship out there. Hey, how about the other side of that too? Though sometimes you felt deflated after a game, where you go, man, I just didn't have it to that. I just didn't all of a sudden, you get there and you go, well, wasn't that bad. Nobody said anything about what why did that guy run that route? That that was his fault, right, you know, And you started going, well, it wasn't as bad as I thought, because I'm going or you're always

dreading the play. Here it comes, two more plays, it's coming. I remember it like. It's the problem with Shula is if you had a bad play, you knew it wasn't getting by him Tuesday mornings. On Monday morning. But he used to have a habit. He'd get up in the he'd get up in the in the front of the meeting room on on on film day and film day. You can walk in that locker room on film day before you went to the meeting and you could hear a pin drop and we had carpet on the ground.

That's how quiet it was. I mean you could every guys you're just sitting in their locker. No one's looking at anybody. And and oh, by the way, we just won by ten, you know, and so you're going to and shoot you all right, let's see the first quarter in Jesus Christ, you know, back second series, not even he's not even gotten the tape. He's just going through like the pre This is the preview, like the trailer.

Second series. Yeah, my deep, my left defensive and can't get up fail, can't get up failed, And he doesn't even mean to miss anyone's name or no tape left defense, no tape my left defenseman, can't you have to feel it. They get around the corner, they allowed to right, they get down and you don't. I was a left defense there and he would kind of go through. You wouldn't go through every play, but he would hit the real low lights. You know, you know and everybody in that room,

and I Joe, you, I know you. I know you've been there. I've been in no situations where you walk in that room and you don't remember all the good plays you have, so you know exactly when the bad plays are coming up and you're just sitting there. Sc jeez. Here it comes when it was really bad. I just go, Please don't say anything from the team because the defensive guys I don't want them to hear me get rid and just yeah, yeah, once you get you kind of

you kind of break up. Right. That was about when I moved to defensive end. When when I was playing linebacker, we're with the linebacker and all the dbs, so you had all everyone in coverage was in that room and you're in there and and so that you know, now everybody's getting ship thrown out of And then then I moved to defenseman, I go in the defensive line room like six guys and you're going, which this is great,

you know, and I got two guys. They were really shitty, so they took the majority of and had and had really bad attitude. So so they got all the heat. You know, first it was Doug Batters. You used to get all the heat from from most scary of the defensive line coach. Then we had to two guys that got drafted came in and they took the heat off Doug. So you know, we'd sit over there just but that was the The film sessions to me were the if we didn't have to watch films, I could have played

another five years in that league. Off day you couldn't even enjoys destroyed. Well, we used to do off day. We we would have we were playing Sunday, be off Monday, and then watched the films on Tuesday. So you're off day on Monday. You couldn't have any fun because you're you're everything you do. You know, you go to the beach, you go to Howard Johnson. You know you're having a peanut colada. You know, the girls in bikinis are out there and alsin you go. Was the third quarter? Um,

and I have to see it tomorrow bad. You're right. I wonder if they're all the rest of the guys that team were like, I don't know. I heard one of I was one of the coach was here over the last you know, two decades or however long it's been. Um. I remember one time they had a really bad game and I said, I said. The coach two days later said Jesus, tapes must have been looked pretty bad. They were so bad. I didn't even show him to the team, I said, to hell, but they were not even gonna

watch it. I said, what, Yeah, he said, yeah, we weren't gonna watch it. Man, I wish you were mind calling anyway, So that anyway, I don't know how we got off on that, but we got off on a tangent there. Anyway, Let's kind of get back to to where we're going reset a little bit. We'll talk about, um, what's going on here? And uh in our interviews and stuff, let's talk a little bit about Albert Wilson kind of

got started. We'll get to him and then we'll get back and kind of turn our attention towards a draft. Who you think or what position you think? I'm not looking at guys and this guy, that guy to me at this time in the draft, with all the everything's going, it's more about what position need? What? What do you need? What do we really need? What's more important? And we solidified this position where we don't we don't need to go that way. Where the quarterback situations faul, we'll talk

about all that. And when you talk about the quarterbacks in the draft and you talk about Ryan Tallons, we did. All the receivers are certainly gonna be very interested and what happened, what happens like that. But one of the guys that's one of the new members of the Miami Dolphins came over from Kansas City, very excited to be here. I think he's gonna bring a lot to a table. Tough guy. Uh So, so let's hear what Albert Wilson had to say. All Right, Albert Wilson, one of the

newest member of the Miami Dolphins. Uh. How does it feel? And uh, let's talk about your decision to uh to make Miami your home. Oh man, it's a it's a blessing. UM. I feel like it was an opportunity that that needed to be taken at this time and I'm just happy to be here. You come out your undrafted free agent. You spend four years in Kansas City, Uh, kind of working in your craft. UM, were you looking forward to going through the whole free agent situation and all that

went onlong with that? Yeah? Yeah, definitely. You know, like you said before, you know, undrafted free agents, so you know, you really don't get get all this publicity and stuff um over over what you've done. So, you know, just having a spotlight for a while and definitely seeing your hard work payoff. It definitely it feels good. What did you What were you able to do to get to the level of player that you are right now after going undrafted? Um? I just I just kept learning and

kept getting better. I feel like, UM, I've had coaches a coaching staff that really believed in me and knew what I was capable of, and they just sat there beside me and pretty much pretty much got me through of everything I needed to get through to become long in today. How long did it take you before you realize that, Hey, I'm I'm good enough for playing this league. I can be somebody that can, uh, that can make

something happen in this game. I would I would say I would say that the last two seasons, I just felt like, you know, I can't be guarded and and and this is meant for me. And and every day I go into to the weight room or go on the field just thinking that that that to myself, and that that helps me prepare a lot change the scenery. Uh, you know, after being in Kansas City for four years,

are you excited about that? There's there a little consternation of what it's gonna be like, new players, new team, new environment, all those different things. Uh do those things all float through your mind at some point? Um, everything is really fresh right now. So I'm just excited about the whole process. I'm really ready here, ready to get to work. Um. We we still have a month to go, So I'm gonna just take it in and just be prepared for it for that month to come. And get rolling.

You've been the league for four years, and free agency has been around for certainly longer than you've been here. But I think free agency now it's it's been a little crazy. This year hasn't a little different than than what we've seen in past years. It's going to become more of a more of a circus atmosphere. It seems like even before the regular even before the league season starts, it was all the chaotic rumors and trades and stuff already taking player was nuts out there, wasn't it was.

It was pretty crazy. And I think just about like you know, the players itself, of recruiting other players and stuff in that source, it just makes the free agency seeing more better, and you know, it gives the guys a lot of opportunity to shine lights on, you know, like the up and coming guys like myself. So I think I think it was a great great free agency this year. Did you when you went in, what what were you expecting out of free agency? Did you have

an idea of teams? Did you know who was looking for players or did you represent did you guys talk about all those types of things or was it just hey, here we go and let's let me, let me put my seatbelt on and see what this ride is gonna be. Like. Yeah, definitely. We we figured that it would be a market out there for me. Um, I felt like I've done my job this past season and I feel like a lot of people seeing that, and you know, as far as what team was going going to next, we just figured

what was best for us. And you know, coming back home and just being able to you know, do something for you for your state. It was an opportunity itself and m Miami, it's just the franchise itself. It's just awesome. And I just want to be able to to to to push this team past any expectations they got. You. You went to port Port St. Lucy ice Cream, played

quarterback at Port St. Lucy. They're playing a quarterback. Help you become a better receiver, I would say, I would say, so you just you know, you look at the offense different. You know, you you not only just know your job, you know everybody's job. And when when When you're able to do that and you're able to think about more than one thing while you're out there lined up, it gives yourself a pretty good shot. So you've made your home in Florida, offseason home in Florida the entire time

you've been in Cancer. You step up in the Port St. Lucy area. Yeah, Yeah, I definitely was was back in the area, getting getting work done up there with um, you know, some of the guys I grew up with that's still that's still working out and stuff. So you know, definitely get back home, able to you know, get away for a little bit, see the family, but definitely still still get to work in. Well, what got you to Georgia State where you went and played your college football?

What the what? What path took you there? It was? It was another great opportunity. Um, a school that that wasn't that haven't played any games and and and I feel like a guy like me that wasn't highly recruited as everybody else, had a chance to make a statement in history itself. So UM, I looked at it as an opportunity to take. Yeah, you know, I went too small.

I went to Sanosey State. But I've talked to a lot of kids where, you know, the kids I didn't want to go, and they're talking about it on Big ten or SEC and this and that, and and usually my my uh, you know, my what I usually try to tell him, say, go somewherehere you can play. Go somewhere you're gonna get on the field and play. You

can go to you can go to the SEC. You can go to Georgia and sit on the sideline for four years and watch everyone else play, or even go somewhere where you can play and let other people watch you. I always thought that was I certainly was a better path for me and obviously a better path for you. Yeah, definitely the smart thing to do. Like you said, Georgia State was gonna be the quickest way I can get on the field, and it worked out pretty good for me.

And who who helped you? Who helped you with that decision making process when you're when you're getting ready to get out of high school and move on and and make that decision as to where it was gonna be the next place, you're like me, Like you know, I had very limited options coming out of high school from a recruiting standpoint, so you kind of took what you could get. But but was there somebody helping you out with that process? Yeah? I definitely had a high school

coach that that's still with me. To this day. Coach Pool. Coach Pool, he's a great guy. UM, a great mentor and you know he Um he played, he played at the college level. And UM at that time, we sat down and we looked over our options and Georgia State with the best best decision for me. If you would look back and look at yourself right now. Uh. And for Dolphin fans out there that are listening to this and UH and they don't uh, they don't know what

Albert Wilson brings to the table. Maybe there's saw you play a little bit with Kansas City. Let you give us a scouting report on on what you feel like you're gonna bring to this organization. I am a dog, point in blank period. You're gonna get a fight. And that's pretty much what I see when you get eleven on eleven is who gonna win that one on one battle? And I'm gonna win that one on one battle. And you believe you're gonna win that battle every time you

go out. Definitely, did you do your conversation with with coach Gaze and Um and coach Jefferson the wide receiver coach Sean Jefferson, who Sean likes to talk a little bit, DON'TI? Coach Jefferson got he got a gift a gap, doesn't he? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, But it was definitely cool getting in and just getting

to see where these guys mindsets was. You know, coming into this team, you know, you're just going off of pretty much what you can see outside of the franchise, but definitely getting inside the organization and just having to the light talks with the coaches and and Ryan, I couldn't be more happier. Let's talk about growing up. Anybody in your life mentors that that really shaped what your

life was about. Yeah, definitely. Um, I grew up in foster care, so it was a lot of people that that was pretty much a a stand in my life. And Ms ms Prior, Doctor Prior, she was up one of my high school teachers and she definitely she was my mentor throughout high school all four years, just just teaching me pretty much how to be a man and and outside of sports and just just you gotta be a man first. And then the Bailey's and they took

me in um pretty much when it was tough. It was it was a real tough time and they came and took me in and it was a blessing. And I'm always in and and and uh in debt with them. I stayed with the Bailey's I want to say my the ninth, tenth year, ninth and tenth three for about a year and a half, and then I moved with the Browns um to find out that we were actually related, and and they took me in before knowing that I

was actually related to them. Uh, they took me in and um, pretty much gave me a home that I never had, you feel me, so when they came in, it pretty much changed changed my life around. So it was it was it was a couple of people, you know that that came in in my life and helped me and stay forward. You said that you were you You found out with one of your foster families that you were related. How did you find out about that? Um, it was pretty much just a conversation me and my

cousin was having pulling into the driveway. It was just of of of we was talking about South Carolina actually, and I was like, um, you know in Florida, you know, I didn't know many people who actually left to go So I'm like, what you know about South Carolina? And he was telling me his families from there, and I was like, I got family from there too. So we went in the house and asked his mom and next thing,

you know, Rick Cousins, it's crazy, it's crazy. You know, it's funny these days you talk about heroes and different things and this and that, and you look at people in foster care. I was just reading article the other day the family that, uh, they took in four kids they want to become fosters. They took in four kids,

all teenage kids, twelve years old to nineteen years old. Uh, and they just adopted all of them, and and and and and in the parents, the foster parents that that helped guide you to get you where, you know, those are those those are kind of the unsung heroes in our society. People that go out open up their homes, open up their hearts to people they really don't know for a long stretch. And you and you you experienced that, and it sounds like you experienced, uh, your experiences with that,

we're very good for you. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Um, the foster care system, I feel like it's it's something that's not really spoke upon, and you know, it's a millions of kids in foster care, and you know, every child I feel like deserves a chance. And um, you know it's not their their fought. They're in this situation and you know, for somebody to come in and bring a stranger into their home and you know, and to protect them and to to provide them with things that they needed,

it's definitely a hero in my eyes. And you still says as close as possible, uh, with your foster's definitely definitely. Um, you know, daily daily conversations with all you know, they must be excited right now. Man, they're they're so excited for me to get back home. And it's gonna be it's gonna be great for them to come out and actually see me play for the first time. Yeah, they'll be able to come down and then they watch your playing on a pretty regular guy. That's gonna be pretty good.

Speaking of that, coming out and playing here. Uh, you look at this receiving corps. You look at those guys are in the room, Davante Parker, little Chili. It's cold in here and there. Uh. When you're looking at the receiver, Davante Parker, look at Kenny Stills. We don't take carew do you keep grant yourself in there now? Uh? Do you kind of like to make up of these guys? I know you're you really have been out in the field with them, but you kind of, you know, you

kind of know who your group. You know, you kind of know what these guys are about. Definitely speed, speed it. I feel like I feel like from this year, from last year to this year, speed is gonna be a big difference. And um, we're gonna make it count. They're definitely gonna see the difference in the speed and and we're gonna make people fear it. Sehn, Coach Jefferson, did you get a chance to sit down and talking for

a while. He's a different You'll he'll he'll put on the paths out there every now and then and walk out in the field. Now you don't mind, you don't mind slapping with the paths on it. He still thinks he's playing. What does he what does he? What does he? Seemed like he does he bring to you? Oh man, it's just just the passion they have in in this organization and what I'm getting from these guys and just just the willing and the want to is just so real. And I can feel it and it's just great to

be here. He They've they've talked a lot though over this fridge about culture change, guys that they want to bring in, that they want to be leaders, they want to be they're more concerned with winning football games than uh than some other things that may be out there and doing that. Do you think you fit that mold? And do you see them going another guy? Danny Amandola. I know you're very very well with him coming in.

He's that same type of guy as you and that it wants to win, that wants to do all the right things. Um. Can can you kind of feel that culture when you when you came into this building and met with the staff. Oh yeah, definitely. You know they were straightforward with it and um of what they pretty much want. And I feel like myself and Danny, you know, when we come into this room, you're going to get that leadership. I feel like, um, I feel like we're

gonna do great together. I feel like we're two hard working dogs and and it's gonna be exciting for us to get into the same offense and we'll look We're looking forward to seeing you on the football field and a little time until O T and all that stuff starting. I'm I'm sure your answers get home, but I'm sure your answers get on the football field and get back to work with with your new teammates in a in a new environment, in U in a in a team in your home states. So that's all gonna be exciting

and we're looking forward to seeing it. And I certainly wish you the best of luck. Congratulations on your new deal, and and uh, it's great to have you. Remember the Miami Dolfer. I appreciate, thanks, thank you, appreciate to Albert Wilson, obviously, he's excited to be Here's a dog man. He wants to be a dog, wants to go out there and play. No, no, he got some speed dog. Plus he's coming back home, which is pretty cool to get a chance to come back here and run every day. Now warm weather, I

think it is. It is. Hey, So so before let's let's get to some uh some dates, some important dates that are that are coming up. Uh. The offseason conditioning program UH starts April sixteen. Guys will be out here and that's basically I think they do what a week or two weeks of that. Yeah, and not mandatory. You know, show up whoever's getting paidd highly recommended. No coaches on the field, it's strength coaches, it's running, lifting, all those types of things with no no drills, none, none of

that stuff. Go. Now, if the guys want to stay out after and and do some drills on their own, that that certainly he's up to them. But nothing organized there. And then uh, starting on may organized team act. Everbody start O t A s. They're gon n leven through the fourteenth, so that gets all your O t A s out. Uh. And then mandatory mini camp is June five or seventh, so you have one mandatory minicamp. But everybody better these other better be at these other things.

I mean, that's a that's a coming off six wins. You better be there with the whole culture talk and everything else, because this is where it starts. Tell us it's gonna start. Everybody back here. Everybody keep an eye and who's working you start talking about leadership. Uh, and and it's gonna be there, gonna be a lot of guys gonna be watched to see how they take this thing. New faces and and obviously, look, every one of those things especially when the media is able to go out

and watch some of these things. You know, all eyes are gonna be on Ryan Tannehill, and that's gonna be I mean every day that is going to be the watchdog on Ryan Tannehill. Just go through our our three visions of seeing Ryan Tannehill go down. It was a meaningless play. It was the end of a play running out of bounds. So every step that the guy's gonna take is going to be analyzed. Not not so much scrutinized, but you want to visualize the guy being able to

get through the beginning of practice to the end of practice. Hey, rinse and repeat, beginning of practice to the end of practice. Give him a day off, beginning of practice to the end of practice, get him out of certain drills. Just want to see how they massage it and manage it and how we're gonna go because you know O tas are still O t A s and you get checked up right, you're not if guys are running at a at a good pace. So they want to make sure. I think, if I'm the head coach, I'm managing my

guy because I need him for September. I don't need him for June. These these O T A s and stuff. Now they take on a different personality with the amount of turnover and the team and all the new people, and you want to see what this guy does and how does this guy fit in, how does he compliment this guy or that guy. Then you're gonna have your draft choice is around later on or draft trick is gonna be around there where you want to see what they do and how they fit in. So it's gonna

be interest. It's made him to me, it's made it more interesting with the change the amount of turnover that that quite frankly every team in the league now goes through. The other problem is to your learn new system. I can't keep learning a new system. So you come in.

You got all these new guys, and as you guys said, the young guys got to come in and some of them are gonna be expected to play right away, so you want to catch those guys up quickly and uh and then that gets back to the whole draft thing and where you fit in with higher your draft pick. You know what, guys, I think it's an advantage for Ryan Taniel. This will be the third year in Adam Gates's system. Now. I know he didn't play last year, but he was involved in the meetings. He was involved

on the sidelines, He was involved on the calls. Why things were called in certain ways, why things were done, Why for why this formation? Why I am looking here first? So I think that's gonna be able not only to help him play, but to help him translate to guys like Albert Wilson, to Danny am Mondola, to whoever replaced tight End, to a you know, uh Drake and a

Gore you know why we're doing things. I think then that goes back to him taking charge and being able to dictate and and communicate with those guys to feel like, hey, you need something to come to me. I was gonna say, as as a quarterback, John, you don't want those guys you don't you don't want uh Amndola or you don't want will come to me. I'll tell you. I'll tell you what you need to do. I'll tell you where you need to line up and how want how I want. Yes,

that's got to come from the quarterback. That that communication has to come from the quarterback eight for for for them to learners, for him to get gain their respect, right They got to understand that he knows this entire offense and knows what everybody's supposed to do. And if there's any question I can, I can. And you know what, if you're jerking around in the huddle, he's got to be the guy who says, hey, you know what, you know, jerk around when we're done. This is important right now.

I think it's all those points are very critical and very Wharton and the growth of a guy, but to grow the development of that culture that I'm the guy and that it's it's my team and the way we're going is through me, and I think that, And that's not to be braggadocious. That's just the way it is. Successful teams, all successful quarterbacks, those guys that are at another level do it that way, and you get the buying from the guys and you do it the right way.

Those guys do anything for you. I think those guys all know the Ryan Tannehills, the quarters. I mean, you're coming here and you don't know that, then you're you're you're missing. So that takes us to the draft coming up. And for me, it's always kind of been it's the Big four for me, although that although the offensive guards kind of fallen to me. To me, offensive guard was a you know what was was one or two on

the list as far as I was concerned. It's kind of falling off the off the map a little bit with the additions and the offensive line is sitting and those guys and and what they're doing. But uh, to me, it's still quarterback, outside linebacker and and tied in somehow in the first four rounds. Those have to be addressed.

And to me, I say in the first four rounds, because they've got to be players that have the legit, a legit, a legitimate opportunity to come in here and make an impact, whether it's starting playing a lot or in the quarterbacks in a quarterback position. Someone it's gonna push Ryan and let him know that, hey, there's not some it's not a schlept behind me. This is a guy that that wants a job, that's hungry, and it's

got some pretty damn good skills. There's a lot of people, a lot of mock drafts that still believe the Dolphins are gonna jump up and try to make a run of Baker Mayfield because the way Adam Gaze feels about Baker Mayfield. Well, I'll tell you what he comes in here. That changes a lot of things. Probably gonna have to give up other draft picks with and to move up

to get Baker where they are. But if they don't bow and they stay at eleven, where they are right now, by biggest need on this team right now, outside linebacker and tight end for me, the those are the two positions. I get you still, I'm with you. It started getting a young quarterback in there to back up and getting ready to go as quickly as possible. But outside linebacker and tight end, to me, just jump out. There's no doubt.

There is no doubt that you have to be able to if available, and you Dolphins stay at number eleven, they have to get a linebacker because I think there's a couple of impactful guys at the top of the list that are gonna not only start on this football team, but add uh plays that that that strip footballs, that get their hands on footballs and coverage that that they

can do all those things. And and I just think that you know, we're talking about New England and having two first round picks now and Buffalo behind us and twelve that that has a lot of ammunition to get to where they need to go. To guys at the top of the list. I just think absolutely, I think those four quarterbacks are gonna be off, and to be quite honest with you, they probably should be. If those teams are doing their jobs, they're gonna be off the board.

Especially with Buffalo creep be in there from twelve kind of getting up there. I think that's gonna happen. I think the Dolphins are gonna be not stuck, but I think they're going to be staying put at eleven. They're gonna have a chance to get an impactful player either defensive tackle at linebacker. I think it's too high for a tight end, but they will get. I don't think there's any to me. I would like them to be a tight end up there that's good enough to be

that guy at that position. But I'm with you, John, second round to me seems to be where the fruit is on that tight entry picking those off there um And I think that I agree with you also that I think those quarterbacks unless look, things are gonna change. Unless things change and some guys, some teams decide they want some you know, one other player. It only takes one. Only takes one guy one team to take a take the different pick than everyone thought to reshuffle the whole.

When I look at the list and I look at the draft order, with Cleveland having the number one and number four, the Giants are in it too. The Jets are in at three. Put a big circle around number five in the Denver Broncos because John Elway likes to play cards and he thinks he's really good at it,

and I agree with him. He that could be the deal breaker with Buffalo coming out of the five spot and Buffalo moving in him grabbing a couple other picks, moving down to twelve and getting whatever, you still get a really good player. I think the Giants are really interesting there. Half the New York wants them to get a quarterback, going, Eli hasn't shown it. You can blame the system or whatever. He's not the same guy was, And the other half going, no, we've got too many

other needs on this d Mel's just fine. That's gonna be a real interesting one. That could set everybody up because they can move out of that pick. The canet a lot of positions and get a lot for it. But kind of going back to what you were saying, John, I think you get through those. I think those quarterbacks are gonna be gone. But I think the Dolphins are

gonna be in a situation. And let's not forget we got Raekwon McMillan coming back, you know, and we didn't see very much of him last year, and I think the consensus going into last season before he got started, he was gonna be your starter there starting day one. Now, start with day one. Now, so you've got that that big insideline packer, and you're gonna have at least two of those really good linebackers. Those two, the Georgia kid kid,

they're gonna be sitting there waiting for you. And you talked about the defensive tackle, the kid Vita v Washington from Washington. There's a good chance he may be there there and after you let go and Donmincken sus So, I think from a defensive stand certainly from an outside I think I think in the I think the worst

case scenar are the best case scenario. I don't know, the worst case scenario for the Dolphins may turn out the best in getting one of these linebackers and linebacker and just stay put where you're at and grabbing one of those guys. That really kind of solidifies that front seven because you've got all those defensive you got all those defensive ends now that you've stockpiled, and you know, you've got those linebackers. If you can put um the three of the you know, Ray Kuan, Kiko and whatever

outside line. But whichever one of those guys that you get, Ray Kwan Smith, whoever, the guy, whoever the guy that falls to him, I think you're pretty good position. Then boys, you just you gotta get outside lineback and make some plays. Though. I just felt just too many offenses that too much

success on the outside. And we're a lot of rooms coverage room, man, they've gotta you know that that that that linebacker that they get has to be a guy that can help tighten up every coverage package, that that

that we've got out there. That that that that I don't care if you're in a zone, I don't care if you're if you're playing bumping, run man and man, whatever whatever you're playing, it's got to tighten up from where I mean, they're just we saw too many people running across field you know, with with with guys no not not within two or three yards of them catching footballs, and you can't. You're just not gonna win that way.

I got a question for you guys, and I just wanted to get your opinion on it because it just popped into my head. We're talking about quarterbacks and thinking that the top four guys are probably going to be off the board. There's a good chance, maybe chance. So the Dolphins don't have a quarterback that who's at eleven. We take the linebacker, we take the defensive tackle, we take Mica Fitzpatrick if he happens to be still there, and you have a great player, right, where do the

Dolphins go? And what is your opinion on Lamar Jackson? Because every that's been kind of like the talk of but this kid's not gonna get drafted in the first field. Some people have them creeping back in because he's an athlete, but some people say he doesn't throw it well enough.

Have you guys seen enough of him and his obviously you've seen him in his Heisman days at Louisville, but I mean off the field now and the pro days and his mom's his agent, and you know, is he coming to the Dolphins in South Florida for the workout, all that stuff that's been going around. An interesting guy, man, because everybody's talking about him. First of all, I'm with him. As far as people going, hey, want to see a receiver too, I think that's bullshit. He's a he's a

quarterback and he's got a strong arm. I think he's gonna work hard at it as far as picking stuff up and as I don't know about that stuff, teams have to do their homework on that. But and the way he throws it, he's got a cannon fit on I mean touch, he can touch it. He worked on he got a lot better at it last year, and

everybody knows he can run, you know. But I think the thing with him is, you know, you look at I was talking to someone the other day, I said, you know, quite frankly, if I'm a football team and I draft uh Lamar Jackson has my quarterback, you know the next guy I mna signed, I might sign Colin Kaepernick, because now you've got two quarterbacks that do the same thing. Because if you don't want to go back in that tea, let's just just a situation where one guy does one

thing well that and that's it. Let's say let's say you're the Dolphins and you come around and you're in the second pick, you got your second round pick, and he's there and you're looking to mar Jack. Okay, jeez, he does this and that, but jeez, how does how do we work our offense if we got Ryan and and something happens with Ryan? Now he comes in and and he he doesn't fit you know what I mean, He's that's the only the only concern I have with him is he's a little bit of a square peg.

That that that that most teams will be around whole to fit him in. With the majority of football teams out here. You know, it's funny he won't run a forty. He is not run the forty. I know he's fast, but it's almost like he doesn't want to hear about him in a race. You want me to throw, I'll throw every day for you. But anything that says running slash athletes slash receiver, I think that's not I think that's a good decision for him because his answer is

just watch the tape. Who's who's catching me? Right, Who's who putting a hand on you? Nobody's asking questions about his ability to run. Right, they're asking questions about his ability to throw the football and is he accurate enough? Yeah, those are the questions. I think that's hanging around his

neck right now. Accuracy, Are you accurate enough? And well he's going early in this draft, he's gonna be in the same Yeah, I can't imagine him getting out of I'm with you, somebody, he's you know, he's just too good of an athlete, too tempting. And look, it may maybe in the back of the team's head. Hey, if his quarterback thing doesn't work out for him, he's a pretty damn good athlete, and you know, something else and do something else moves down, so so you never know.

But that's yeah, he's he's gonna be one of one of one of the interesting guys out here. But look, it's funny. But the draft right now, there's been a lot of moves already draft wise, and and I think before before that first pick is called, um, I think there's gonna be some more moving in there. And you talk about the Jets, the Bills putting themselves in a position, Giants were down to England with a couple of picks.

I think there's a lot of there's still a lot of things gonna go on in this draft before before that day comes. There's some teams right now, as we mentioned Arizona Buffalo screaming, man, get me to move up and get a quarterback. We cannot play with the old vets that we have. Can't play Who's who in your draft? In your career here with the Dolphins of draft choices of rookies coming in, who was the craziest, who was like the most lunatic guy that came in during your career,

craziest ut out there? Well, we had a bunch otherwhere you going back with our group, we had a bunch of I had I hate doing this because one of the guys it was my roommate. He's a weird dude. Yeah, I mean, I I don't mean, I've told you guys stories. I don't want to start telling about nothing. Nothing. But the guy took us to a super Bowl, you know, so you can say what you want to say about him. He had some skill, but he was he was a

different guy. There's no question about he was a little different. Like I thought it was a little different coming out of Berkeley. He was really weird. I'm sure you had some some unique guys coming through the well in the CFL. Yeah, you had guys coming from everywhere, and that was the basket. Oh man. It was funny because you were either an import, which meant you were American, right or you were Canadian.

And I always used to tell our offensive lineman that you guys were the were the ones that couldn't skate backwards. Now I hope you know you're as protection is better than your defense was on the ice, and they go, oh, yeah, well you're an import, you know, because you could only have I think at that time maybe eighteen Americans on a team of maybe only thirty eight on the roster. So the majority of it, you know, was were Canadian guys.

So yeah, there were guys, you know, stories of guys coming. Know, this guy was arrested, but now he's gonna put up in play Saturday night. There's guys coming from Yeah, you go pick him up, get him, get him unchained, and bring him back to the stadium. Yeah, slap a pair of shoulder fans. But there was some There were some knuckleheads. I always telling you the story before about um, we had a guy, Daryl Smith. He went to a small College in Ohio. He's from Youngstown, the same town I

was born in Ohio. And he was a great slot receiver and legendary receiver, and you could throw it anywhere around him. You knew he was gonna come down with it because you you bet on him, you know, you just bet on him making a play or the other guy wasn't gonna get it. But he always had this propensity of flash. You know, he's the typical diva receiver that you know, if there was a mink coat that only went you know, the high, he was gonna get

one and one ankle ankle deep. He was gonna have the full regali hat and everything, right, yeah, oh yeah, big time. So so one day practice, you know, we were teasing going to camp. We were practicing Wealth University, and we're teasing him about, you know, hey, would you buy this soft season? Would you get? Oh? You guys didn't see it. I got the biggest, baddest white Mercedes. Ben's the biggest one you could buy it. That's the one I got. I said, Man, I don't I didn't

see where'd you park it? And we're all during stretch, we're all talking. Everybody's bullshitt and stretching, and uh, it's where'd you park it? We just call him steping Steine. Where'd you park it? Man? He was, Oh, it's right by the reds, it's right up there on the h I parked right on the grass, right on the reds, right in front of the dorm. I said, I don't think it's there anymore, bro, because there's a white man's on a tow truck and turning around. He said, so

wait a minute. He started running off to practice. That's oh, it was hilarious. But he would do stuff like that, just off the wall. And that's where we had a guy. You may have been here. We had a guy. His name was Sylvester. I figured what his last name was. Stroke used to call him Itchy. He's always scratching all the times you called itchy was the name. So Itchy was having a hard time. He was having a hard time keeping up, you know, and you know, running, learning

routes and all this stuff. And and I was walking off the field one day and I'm right behind Stroke, you know, and here comes Inch you run up a Stroke and Stroke, Man, you gotta help me out. I'm struggling out there, man, I don't think I'm gonna make this team. And Stroke looks at him like he like Stroke does kind of you know, takes his time looks and Lewis's itchy. First of all, you gotta be smarter than the football. But I came with a guy. I came in with a guy. When I came in, there

were seven there's seventeen rounds when you got drafted. So we had seventeen rounds when I got drafted. We had a kid drafted to I think he was in the sixteenth or seventeenth round. His name was Don Testerman, out of Tennessee or somewhere like that, fullback and he was a country, a country boys, his country as could be. So I'm looking through the media guide one day, you know, just looking, and so I'm looking at the bios. I

see Don Testaman. You know, he he goes his brother when he was when he was like in six games, his brother hit him, hit him over the head with an axe, with a sharp end of the axe. Right. So I go to the locker room, I said Don, I said Don, So I was reading the singer said your brother hit you a hand with Actually, yeah, damn hit me right right here. Man riding the crown of the hand with an axe. I said, he hit you with the flat angles. Oh no, he hit the sharp end.

He said, he hit a drove it right in my head, walked away and the handle handle was still handed. Comes let out and always every and he was a tough fullback. And I'm on your head, splitting split, splitting half by an ax. I see you're still friends with your brother. He's still my best friend. You know. Hopefully we don't draft anybody. I hope we we don't draft anybody crazy. Yeah, you know, comes in with an act in their head and like that. But it's always interesting. You never know,

you really never know what characters. I mean, guys coming from all over the country, all different economics backgrounds, all different family background. It makes a team. You do. What did you get? They do a better job though, background evaluated, slip through the inter first interview, My god, Joe, how can people get the podcasts? I had no idea. Do it one more time? Time? Very good? I know that's why next time. But I know what I do though,

You can't have your Apple music. Got a free phone, brother, that's forget Apple. If it's free, it's for me. We didn't get to any questions today. We had a couple of times for a couple of questions. Come on, let's do that, all right? That was being well, you got you guys,

got long winded on those. I know. Mark Roberts from Facebook's Aavian hours a beast one a few bright spots to look forward to. He's even came back last year and and really in the second half, boy, really remember there was a Titan way, when's he gonna get interception? And he comes up with two or some and that just kind of you kind of saw his confidence kind

of sore Ye and Xavin, we're really good. Yeah, Yeah, Bobby uh and and Bobby, I know he's he's working hard, trying to, you know, answered the question marksby let's get a second contracts right and slot corners getting paid. Uh Facebook Sean Paul Wadell. Our online is already better than last year with our free agent pickups and trades. Need a uh D line and linebacker were the first three picks. Vita Villa or ray Kwon Smith with the first pick

would be a steal. That that that Vita Villa, the kid, the big kid from That's That's that's gonna be an interesting. It's gonna be interesting because I've seen him as high as is two or three on some draft choice who and guy runs four nine. He's agile, he's athletic, he's strong. The problem is they're just sex here positions. We'll have a good chance to get him because but yeah, but I think there's there's a running back. Yeah, I think

we're zoned in on him. Is I I got him as one of the four or five guys on that list to end up here. Zacharya D. D. Mckennic comes from Instagram. William Hayes one of the best ad setters in the league and could collapse the pocket from inside on passing downs. Love getting a guy back. I'm you know what, He's one of the guys I was looking just kind of all I'm kind of holding my breath that that that he didn't end up going somewhere. I

like him a lot. I mean from the from the first time I saw him playing a scrimmage to to the to when he's to threat until he got hurt, and I just thought he would just max effort fast guys. You know he's playing the star player he you know what, he reminds me of just like one of those country guys that never really say as much. Just his production is consistent. You know who, Robert Quinn, same guy, He's the same guy's when he's country. Guys, just what do

you want to do. I don't want to go play, yeah and find the football and I'm gonna do my job. So yeah, I'm with you on now. So anyway, let's knocked out a few of those questions and we'll get your questions. You can send him in via Facebook, via Instagram, via Twitter, all those different places, and I promise you we'll get to all the questions. The next time, I was just I will.
