This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What is up Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.
I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
we have an extended chat with Kyle Krabs for the
Football Friday, the week seven variety show here talking with
all things Miami Dolphins and the college football landscape. Plus
I make the week seven NFL picks, and we're gonna
hear from some of the Dolphins assistant coaches on this
(00:31):
Friday from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health
Training Complex. This is the Draft Time Podcast, joining us
for a Football Friday, a variety show episode here in
the A block of this particular podcast is the great
Kyle Krabs. Kyle joins us every single weekend to talk
about the weekend in college football. But today, Kyle, we're
(00:52):
gonna talk to Miami Dolphins topics before we get into
the college football landscape here on this Friday episode of
the Draft Time Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Kyle, how we doing?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Man? I don't have a Washington State NCAA football game
going on right now, so you' a little more locked
in this week.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
It looks like, yeah, you keep trying to intimidate me
by telling me this is the A block. So I
figured I would keep the video games off and we're
gonna lock in and and and you're gonna get can
get my best as we give it old. Kyle is
try here to talk about some college football and Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Is is a promotion to the A block, which is
essentially like going from you know, a reserve player to
a starting player.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That's that's intimidating. It feels like a no. I just
feel like it's confident. It's uh, it's a little.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Past aggressive trying to get me rattle here as we
get rolling. So I'm gonna make sure I just stick
it to you and we're gonna have a great conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
My wife does tell me sometimes I can be a
little passive aggressive, so that does track. Let's go ahead
and talk about some content you recently published. I believe
it was on your help me out here because you
have twelve different streams A Z.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's that's why I thought it was okay.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So Kyle has written some really good content across the
entire National Football League, but his bread and butter is,
of course, these Miami don't Dolphins, And I want to
start with your piece Kyle because the title photo told
me one of the players and the article, and I
was excited to talk about him in general with you
and this concept of development and how it's not linear
in this league and how it can take a few
year sometimes. But Kyle wrote a story about three like
(02:17):
surprise breakout individuals for the Miami Dolphins this year. Just
go ahead and take us through that article and who
those three names are off the top, and then I'll
follow up my questions after that.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, So the three players that were acknowledged were some
individual success stories within the Dolphins and their roster this year,
and in particular at spots that we had questions throughout
the course of the offseason.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So everybody tight end.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Everybody talks about Darren Waller, and rightfully so for touchdown
catches in three games and what an amazing success story
he is as a guy who came back from retirement.
But Julian Hills has turned into a nice player.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Is he a marque top of the league and do
it all type of player? And that's certainly not the
stage where he's at yet, But I think he's playing
with more control in space as a blocker and the
assignments are clean, and you've seen him start to get
a little bit involved in the passing game where they
(03:15):
had that kind of reminded me of the twenty twenty
Chan Gaily tight end screen where we fake right and
then we fake left and then we come back to
the middle and we get a big rip up the
middle on that tight end screen. So it's been cool
to see Julian, who was kind of a really popular
punching bag for a lot of fans for some of
the penalties early in the year last year, to really
(03:39):
take to this offense the way that he has, So
that that's one spot for me.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Can I can I jump in on that and we
can go back to it because I want to.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I want to fall up on Julian specifically because he
to me, by the way, the fake screen you just
described was basically the water Boy play. He fakes, no,
he pretends to fake, he fakes the fake, and of
course coach gone, he's got his green notebook back man.
With Julian Hill, I feel like that player alone is
instructive for fans and media member anyone that follows this
(04:08):
game to kind of like take a page from that notebook,
because to your point. You know, there was a lot
of uh, you know, consternation among fans about Julian Hill's play,
and I think a lot of that has to do
with the fact that, you know, the negative plays that
he had were so in your face penalties, right, It's
that's a black and white thing that you can assess,
like he has too many penalties, but he hasn't had
a penalty since like last October or something like that.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So he sweared out that part of his game.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
And go ahead, everybody, if if Julian has any kind
of penalty on Sunday, you know who to blame, and
it's the host here on the Drive Time podcast because
he just jinks, the old broadcaster jinks miss and Phila.
But I mean it's I think the fact that he
doesn't have the penalties, it's because he's playing so well
within his you know, he just he's he looks comfortable.
(04:55):
Like there was a repper he was coming across the
formation on Sunday for like one of those rap blocks,
and he like dummied like he was gonna bury his
head and just try to run through the block, and
then like pulls up and sets himself into a position
to just square it off and like and basically play
basketball defense right, get between your man and the hoop.
And I'm like, that's a new look from Julian where
(05:15):
he's just playing in control and he kind of has
a feel for these landmarks. I'm curious, like, how when
you cause you're you're so good at doing this, Kyle, Like,
if you're in a Dolphins coaching position or front office,
you're watching this guy like there's flashes, but there's some
plays where it's like it's just not coming along for him,
but you can see where the development and the idea
of where they want him to get to, and it
(05:36):
looks like he's gotten to that point now, Like, how
do you watch a player like that who is from Campbell,
an undrafted player who's got obviously a lot of work
to do as a rookie to work a year, two,
three years in to get to the point to where
it's like that's what we're looking for, Like, how do
you how do you like trust the vision when it
takes maybe a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Well, I think that comes down to a few things.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
In my background in college scout is probably helpful here,
but you watch guys from a traits based perspective, and
you get a feel for the demeanor in which they
play the game, and you get a feel for who
they are as people, and you know, I think Patrick
Paul is another great example of that of the traits
(06:22):
with the mentality on the field, with who you are
as a person to put in the work to allow
it to develop. And those are two rousing success stories
for guys that were raw, whether it's because you played
at Campbell or it's whether because you played for Dana
Holgerson and like that style of offense didn't necessarily produce
(06:46):
the kind of polish right off the jump right when
you left, as compared to playing for Kirk Farrens at Iowa,
where those guys come out and they're tailor made to
play at the NFL level right away. So I think
those are the three variables that you have to be
able to identify and then trust that the messaging is
going to get home and that you can give consistent
messaging on how you need to execute it and the
(07:07):
rest will. As they say, the score will take care
of itself, And in this case, the score is the
player becoming a player you think he's capable of.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's been fun to watch, and I think that his
inclusion as a really lockdown, why tight end with the
addition of Darren Waller, has helped this offense kind of
reshape their identity and they post Tyreek Hill world like
we talked about last week, and here they go again.
You know, fourteen snaps out of that twenty two personnel grouping.
Was cool to see them succeed in that way. How
about the rest of the list, Kyle, two more guys
(07:34):
besides Julian Hill that you liked.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, I think Jake Bailey deserves a ton of credit
for the player that he is this year with his execution.
I mean, you look at qualifying punters across the league.
He's second best in net yards perpon It's forty seven
yards per pund net.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
That's not just total.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He's eighth in hang time, He's fifth in punts down
inside the twenty. He's seventh in return rate and seventh
in yards per return amongst qualifying punt is top quartile
of the league punter.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
And all of those statistics super consistent.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
And you know that there was also the element of
the chemistry that he had with Jason Sanders that we
haven't even been able to feel yet because Jason's been
out and Riley's done very well kind of in his
place to kind of hold the fork down and however
long that needs to happen. But Bailey punters can kick
for a long time. And you know, I look at
(08:28):
the two names, Julian Hill, who's obviously still on his
rookie contract but as a young player, and then Jake Bailey,
who the runway for playing is much longer there for
some of those specialists. Those are the two potential like
long term answers for their specific kinds of roles that
the Dolphins can maybe now look at they have. And
(08:49):
the other spot that I had on that story was
the CB one spot with Rasul Douglas, who I think
not necessarily a long term answer. He's obviously on a
stop gap one year contract and is in some of
the later chapters of his career, but I think by
and large, to play that he's given you, whether it's
in run support or tackling, or in coverage or being
combative at the catch point, he still played at a
(09:10):
high level. And I think if you said at the
beginning of the year, hey, the cornerback one spot, I
know we traded away the guy who's been in that chair,
if you will, the last two years. A lot of
fans have questions about, Okay, what kind of play are
you gonna get a corner and you know, the secondary
has its things to continue to work out. But I
see Rasseul Douglas as you know, any given week, he
(09:33):
could be a part of how you solve problems and
give yourself a chance to win a football game.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, it's I mean, he was that last tape was
a little bit of everything, run support, blitzing, coverage. He
was doing everything on the back end for the Miami Dolphins,
and it's kind of a reminder of how, you know,
little we actually know about this league and this this
sport in the summer months when you're trying to project
what teams are going to be because everyone thought, you know,
that cornerback position was going to be something that gave
(09:59):
the Dolphins, you know, made your issues, and right now
it's it's kind of been the run defense up front.
And that's considering the fact that you know, cater Coohu
goes down on the first Saturday of training camp when
you go through I mean, Cameron Danceler gets hurt. We've
we've just had these injuries in the secondary. Jason Marshall's out, Mike.
You know, there's all these players that they're trying to find,
you know, guys that can do multiple things now to
(10:19):
fill out those roles. And I think if someone had
told you, you know, back in August that Rasul Douglas
would be your top corner this season and the cornerback
position went actual played pretty well this year, I think
they would have maybe laughed at you. So it's just
a reminder that sometimes in this league, what you see
is not always what you get. And Kyle to that point,
I mean upfront, that was that was kind of the
theme of a lot of these you know, post training
(10:39):
camp practice, press conferences and just coverage in general. As
the Dolphins, we're going to find ways to make up
for the secondary with their front seven play. But right now,
the run defense is having a hard time finding its footing.
And so I'll pose the question to you this way.
We just finished up with assistant coaches here on this
Thursday talking about some of the elements in the running game.
But I'm curious in your estimation, what's happened with the
(11:00):
run defense that's yielding so many yards, and then the
follow up is what can they do to short up
and get things on the right track here?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Think we talked about this last week, but I really
think the Dolphins kind of have to on any given
week kind of decide do we want to build our
defensive strategy from the front back or from the back front,
And you know, that's where you have the injuries that
they've had with the nickel position in particular. I believe
Anthony Weaver acknowledged that. You know that they had some
(11:32):
hopes of using Elijah Campbell in the nickel and then
he got hurt. And it's just another example of a player.
So what's the domino effect of that?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Like the trickle down effect is there is how many
bodies do you need to play the coverage the way
you want to play the coverage versus how many guys
put their hand in the dirt and play for you
on the front, And with what Miami has been tested
with this year, I think it just creates kind of
(12:01):
a difficult decision you have to make on any given week.
And you look at some of the explosive plays that
the Dolphins have conceded the last couple of weeks, and
it feels like that there's guys are playing outside of
the last man in line of scrimmage, and you don't
necessarily have the three down interior from when you're in
your base defense with your your nose tackle and your
(12:23):
two odd front ends, if you will, whether they're gonna
regardless of what shade they're lining up in, and then
to the two stand up backers outside of that. So
I think that they just have to kind of try
to solve that problem. That's what coaching is all about, right.
It's like your resources and what you have to work
with now is pretty static. There'd be some teams that
(12:44):
make some trades by the trade deadline and bring a
new piece in here pieces there, But every single week,
it's about solving the problems of what awaits us with
this opponent.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
And what they like to try to do.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And I just think that that continues to be a
moving target for Miami. And some of that is just
who continues to the nickel positions like it's snake bit
right now. Whoever ends up stepping in that spot, it
gets jumbled up again and again and it makes it
really difficult. And that's where you had mentioned cater Co
(13:18):
who that's where cater was so good, right, and like
that that individual loss the trickle down effect, I think
you're feeling in a lot of ways still.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Especially I mean to your point, especially when I mean
everyone that steps into that positions, it just seems like
a fluky thing happens that winds up putting on the sidelines.
And for Elijah Campbell, who you know, we've heard a
lot about Campbell the last couple of years and what
he does in an underrated facet on the defense from
that safety position, And for a long time I always
thought like his his ability as like a you know,
a dime safety or even like a dime linebacker position
(13:52):
on third and long in those sub packages you can
kind of see where like his special team's prowess, you know,
converts over to the defense side of the football.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And perhaps they had similar thoughts there.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
But to your point, I mean, it wasn't even you know,
you put the game plan in Tuesdays and then you
come out here on a Wednesday in the first day like, oh,
our our fifth contingency plan just got a quad entry
in practice. Like that's that kind of year for the Dolphins.
Defense right now. So good stuff. Man, We're gonna pause
for a quick break, comeback on the other side and
talk a little bit about the college football weekend. That's
next Draft Time podcast, brought to you by Auto Nation.
(14:26):
Kyle Krabs my guest today for an A and B
block segment. Let's go ahead and get to the meat
and potatoes of what we usually have you on here
for I do appreciate you filling out the A and
B block for us here though. I got the weekend
in college football, and you know I always tell you
that the weekend to me is always set up by
the quarterback play, no matter.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Like who you are.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But we're gonna we're gonna buy pass that this week
and get into some other other action other positions.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And there's a game.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I don't know if it's out west or pent Texas,
but I know you want to talk about a certain
game that is west of the Mississippi. Tell us about
that game and who the prospects are you're looking at
in that one.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It's Texas Tech number seven against Arizona State. And Arizona
State was is a team that is home to one
of the most prolific wide receiver prospects in the country,
and that's Jordan Tyson, who was originally with Colorado transfers
to Arizona State. He had seventy five catches for over
(15:20):
eleven hundred yards and ten touchdowns in twenty twenty four
when Arizona State made their run to the College Football Playoff.
He leads the country and receiving touchdowns and receptions through
six games. He's forty seven catches and seven touchdowns through
six games thus far, and that was without that. They
weren't overly competitive against Utah in their most recent game,
(15:42):
but they were without their starting quarterback in that game,
Sam Levitt. So he said, Okay, I can't really get
it going on in the passing game. I can only
get five yards to catch on eight catches. I'll just
run a touchdown. And he had a three yard rushing
touchdown for Jordan Tyson. So he's a really impressive talent
in what is looking like it's a pretty full wide
(16:06):
receiver block yet again and should not be a surprise
with all this, Like the seven on seven work that
a lot of these guys are able to do when
they're in high school, now right, you could really do that,
especially if you're down south, you could do a year round.
So the passing game prospects look great. And when you
have dynamic passing games, that means you got to have
(16:28):
guys that disrupt the posing quarterbacks. And David Bailey from
Texas Tech tied for the nation lead or the FBS lead,
with eight and a half sacks. He's got nine and
a half tackles for loss. He's been a superbly productive
pass rusher. He had seven sacks last year, so he's
already set a career high. But he had five forced
(16:50):
fumbles in twenty twenty four with Stanford. He transferred this
year to Texas Tech. That's the spotlight of two guys
that if you told me they were top thirty picks
when it's all said and done, I would totally believe you.
And the fact that you get them both on the
field at the same time is a game that I'm
very much looking forward to getting my eyes on.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Outstanding stuff, as always from Kyle again, you can find
all that work. All the stuff we talked about in
the A block is stuff that he's written about. So
if you want to go find his columns and his analysis.
There at eight is the sports NFL. You can find
it there. He's the host of the Lockdown Dolphins podcast,
host of Lockdown NFL Scouting, author of Touchdown Miami, and
at Kyle Krabs on social Kyle, you were locked in, No,
(17:29):
Kuch's on the other B screen there for you this week.
I think you give an A plus performance in the
A block. We appreciate my friend, and we'll see you assume.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Kyle. Yeah, good stuff, Travis, thanks and away he goes.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Always fun chatting with my pal Kyle, who does great
work across multiple streams of content for the Miami Dolphins.
Let's go ahead and spend some time here on the
week seven picks. To be quite frank with you, guys,
I don't have a national reporter on, I don't have
any announcers from the game this weekend. So we're gonna
kind of extend this NFL ortion here a little bit,
(18:00):
because this week in the NFL is a very interesting one,
and quite frankly, the league right now is as interesting
to me as it's ever been. And something similar is
kind of happening in baseball, and it was that the
case in the American League all year long. My Seattle manners,
as I record this podcast two to one right now
in the ALCS big game coming tonight. By the time
(18:21):
you hear this podcast, we'll know if it's three to
one or two to two, and full fledged panic sets in.
But across Major League Baseball, like the Dodgers are the
heavy favorite right now to win the World Series, but
they were kind of down this year in terms of
their record, and there was a couple of teams that
were powerhouses, but by and large, there was more parody
(18:41):
than we're used to seeing. And in the NFL right now,
it's kind of absurd, Like there's a The Heat the
Call podcast. Dan Hans is Smart Sessler, Justin Graver Connor
or the first two guys' names are on the show,
but the other two guys contribute in a big way,
the producer and their main guest. But it's my favorite
football podcast. I've said that about the Around the NFL
(19:03):
podcast for years before that got disbanded by NFL Media
and Mark and Dan broke off and did their own show.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
And I mean, I say it all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It's there's two forms of podcasting you can have, right
you can have highly informative or you can have super entertaining.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
We try.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I try, Travis Wingfield tries on the Travis Wingfield Drive
Time podcast to thread that needle and be both things.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I hope i'd do that. That's that's the goal, that's
the vision.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's a that's Jason Siegel and Russell Brand floating on
surfboards in the Pacific Ocean and forgetting Sarah Marshall and
Russell Brand tells Jason Siegel is like this gothic what
does he say? It's like a gothic David Bowie or
whatever the hell he is saysing. That's like exactly what
I'm going for. Man, That's exactly what I'm going for here,
entertaining as well as informative, and on the Heat the
(19:50):
Call podcast they are more the entertaining faction and they
do a great job of making.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
The podcast fun.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
And one of the things they do for that is
the rankings, which I don't I don't really care about
Power Rankings. It used to be a big deal to me,
but nowadays it's just like, I mean, your eyes kind
of tell you what you need to see, need to know,
I guess. But anyway, this is a long winded way
of saying. On the Power Rankings episode they just had
they didn't know, like there was discrepancies about somebody had
(20:20):
the Bucks as the number one team and somebody had
them as the number eleven team. And think about how
almost impossible that should be because in years past, especially
in recent years, you have your your league powers, right,
and they're always the same teams, and you know, people
like to talk about football in the sense that it's
(20:40):
some great parody driven league that every year teams can
you can have a Washington Commanders from twenty twenty four
pop up and be a team that you know, threatens
for the championship round. That's a pretty rare occurrence in
the NFL because it's been Buffalo, it's been Kansas City,
it's been Baltimore for a long long time.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It was the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I think there was a run there where it was
only the Patriots and Chiefs were in AFC Championship of Games,
or one of the two had been in there for
like twenty something years. I think that that streak still
continues to this day, right, So to see it kind
of turn this way, is this the new norm or
is this just a one off year? Because the Ravens
are like shitt We talked about the Ravens on the
(21:23):
Preview Summer series as the best roster in football. They're
one and five and that is due in large part
to like insane level of injuries, Like just a year
from hell for those guys. But I mean the Bills,
like they're off two consecutive losses. Do the Bills ever
lose a game in Atlanta like in past years? Kansas
City's three and three, like it's a weird year, and
so I'm it makes me I have a lot of
(21:47):
thoughts about that, the possibility of this being the new
norm in the NFL. Because if that's the case, like
you can turn it around quick, right, you can. You
can be one in five one year. Maybe it's that
you don't get the win late that you needed. Maybe
next year you do get those wins and then you
push for the playoffs and then by the time you
get there, maybe there is enough parody that you can
break the door down and get across you know, all
(22:09):
those those those barriers the Dolphins fans want to see
your break across. Just a thought before the week seven
picks right now, eleven and four. Last week, we went
into Monday Night Football at eleven and two missed both
those primetime games. In fact, three of the four losses
were in the primetime slate, So hoping to kick it
off better this week. It brings us to sixty six
twenty six and one on the season. That's a seventy
(22:31):
two percent winning percentage. And we picked the Bengals, or
rather the Steelers over the Bengals on Thursday Night. Is
that a win?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Is that a loss?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That's we've lost two consecutive Thursday Night Football games. Hopefully
Joe Flacco does not spoil it here for a third.
Let's go ahead and cue the music and talk about
the rest of the Sunday slate and into Monday Night Football,
which has two pretty good games on that slate. In
my opinion, que the music. We're taking the Rams over
the Jaguars. The Rams kind of stumbled through a win
over the Ravens, a seventeen to three win over the
(23:01):
Cooper Rush Ravens, and they replaced him with Tyler Huntly
late in that football game. I think the Rams can
cruise in this one over the Jags as well as
the Jags come out west. I'm not really buying the
Jags at four and.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Two right now. I think that they are.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
They're gonna be that team this year to me that
had this hot start and maybe doesn't quite finish the
way they had hoped they would.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I do like Liam Cohen a heck of a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I think he's got the right program in place there
to get things going in the right direction. But ultimately,
I think a lot of those wins were just over
some inferior opponents, and the Rams are not that Rams
over Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
The Eagles and Vikings.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
This is one where I like the Vikings matchup in
terms of how they go up against the Eagles offense.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
But this is kind of like what the league is
right now.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's like this awesome Vikings defense and their quarterback is
Carson Wentz, Like, how can I.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Get behind that operation? Even if it's J. J.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
McCarthy, who you guys know, I wasn't a big fan
of his coming out of the draft. I just can't
do it. So Eagles over Vikings and the Eagles get
back on track. Here another team that looked like world
beaters even though they were aren't dominating their first four
wins of the season and has since lost two straight.
Patriots over Titans. Are the Patriots going to be that
team that steps up. But Drake May looks like the
absolute truth. And I just want to go ahead and
(24:11):
mention one potential scary outcome for you guys here.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
We know about Josh Allen. Drake May looks to be
a dude.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And what if the Jets get the first overall pick
and they get like Leonori's cellars, and now you've got
three freaks in the division at quarterback.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I don't like the sound of that. So Patriots over Titans.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And speaking of the Jets, I have win their first
game this weekend over I put Cleveland here. That's not
who they're playing. Who the hell did the Jets play?
How did that happen? They're playing the Panthers. I'm taking
the Jets over the Panthers. I think they can run
the ball against that Panthers front, and I think they'll
be able to find enough stoffs on the Bryce Young
lead offense. Give me the Jets to win their first
(24:51):
game and we get our last winless team off the Schneid.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I took the Browns over the Dolphins. You guys know
about that.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I saw that they're supposed to be fifty possibly sixty
mine hour win Gus in that game. That could make
for a very interesting matchup there for the Dolphins and Browns.
Browns over the Dolphins. I'm taking the Bears over the
Saints to get back to four and two just like
they were last year. Can they finish the season better
than where do they go? Five and twelve at the
end of the year. I think they kind of like
the Jags, have won some games against some not so
(25:17):
great competition. The Commanders handed that win to them on
Monday Night when they had the lead and the ball
down the stretch and then fumbled a quarterback running back
exchange and a handoff. I'll take the Bears over the Saints,
and the Saints have been kind of punchy, and I
think the Saints are going to pick off a couple
of games this year more than I thought they would,
but not this one. I'll take the Chiefs over the Raiders.
That's probably the easiest pick of the week to me.
(25:39):
The Raiders losing Colton Miller on an offensive line that
wasn't playing well in the first place, against the Steves
Bagnolo defense, against the turnover centric quarterback, that's going to
be all outside of game in my opinion. And they
get Rashid Rice back this week. This is the hardest
pick of the week right here. To me, I think
I'm gonna go Colts over Chargers because of the Chargers
injuries and just the entire nature of their offense. We
(25:59):
saw for basically all but three drives, a couple of
second half drives and then the game winning drive for
the Chargers here that they're just an offensive operation right
now that just can't get out of its own way.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
They're banged up.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I don't know if they're getting Joel Allt back this
week or not, if they are not that tackle situation
against the Colts front. I think the Colts can get
after the Chargers here, and I think the Colts are
gonna wind up being the team that I was the
most wrong on this year. I had them as a
possible top five pick. They look like a lock to
win that division right now. I'm taking the Giants over
the Broncos. I don't love it, to be honest with
you guys, but the Broncos are another one of those teams.
(26:31):
This is why it's frustrating to see the Dolphins not
close out their wins, because I feel like the Jags,
the Broncos. You maybe put the Patriots in the same category.
I don't think they're the same way, but the Steelers.
Like there's a lot of teams right now that are
have good records, but I don't think will be more
than eight to nine win teams. I think the Dolphins,
had they found a way to, you know, could they
find a way to get back to ten wins like
that could have been enough.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
For a wild card position. But I digress.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
We'll take the Packers over the Cardinals. Whether it's Jake
Briskett or Kyler Murray doesn't matter to me. I'm taking
the Commanders over the Cowboys. I do think jayde and
Daniels showed some of the twenty four Daniels in that
game on Monday Night. I think we're gonna see more
of that here going forward. I'll take the Niners over
the Falcons. Do I feel good about it? Not, particularly
the Niners lose Fred Warner after losing Nick Bosa, But
(27:16):
I do think that the Falcons getting a big win
on a short weak against a really good opponent is
typically your poise to get picked off the next week,
especially against a tough team like the Niners that I
know They're banged up, but they still have the same,
you know, Niners mentality. I'll take the Lions over the
Bucks on Monday Night football. The Bucks are kind of
my adopted team this year. Love Baker Mayfield, but Detroit
I think, even though Tampa has picked them off the
(27:38):
last couple of years, I think Detroit, with their physicality
and the injuries of the Bucks, can kind of catch
up to him this week. Give me the Lions in
a big spot on Monday Night and the Seahawks over
the Texans. Seahawks, Man, that's kind of like the operation,
the program that I think Miami should aspire to kind
of go towards down the road here, because I think
Seattle's like run game, pass game balance, and the physicality
on defense, I think could can pour itself well here
(27:59):
in Southward Seattle, good looking football team, Houston still trying
to figure things out offensively. All take Seattle over the
Texans there to round out the week seven picks. Let's
go ahead and take our last break right there. Come
back on the other side and hear from some of
the assistant coaches here for the Miami Dolphins. That's Next
Draft Time podcast, brought to you by a donation. We
are going to close up shop here on a Friday
(28:21):
with four soundbites from four coaches, Anthony Weaver, Frank Smith,
and the Barry Bros.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Joe and Butch.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
We'll start here with coach Weaver, who was asked about
how he's doing. How are you compartmentalizing the first six
weeks of the NFL season so far, how the defense
is playing, and the reaction and the fan base and
their vitriol. How are you handling all of this, Coach Weaver,
Let's go ahead and throw it to the Dolphins defensive coordinator.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I work in service, right, and I've been doing this
a long time, and I don't do it because I
want to be a head coach. I don't do it
because I want to make money. I do it because
I want to help players and I want to win, right,
I want to win. This game ultimately is about winning.
So how I'm doing. I've been better. I've been better.
(29:08):
I'm a little edgy, but I told I told the
guys on Wednesday that when you're in this situation, it's
going to involve couraging character. Right, That's what it's about.
And I need them to show that and that in
these situations. What happens is that you have these battles
against yourself where you're trying to make sure you're not
(29:33):
having losing habits. You're not pointing the finger, you're pulling
the thumb, You're making sure you're not taking shortcuts right,
because obviously that will resultant losses too. But if you
can't win these battles against yourself, I don't know how
the heck you win the battle against somebody else. So
that's what we're trying to do. Every day. I'm trying
(29:53):
to do my best to make sure I remain a
lighthouse in the storm right, keep trying to do the
next right thing. Get these guys to play as hard,
as physical, as fast as they can, and never be
the scorel take care of itself. We got to find
a way to win these games in the fourth I
think we've lost four games, four or fi five losses
(30:14):
have come in the fourth quarter. And I've always thought
that pressure reveals habits. So until we've had enough training
where those mistakes don't happen in critical situations, the results
won't change. Now, what I can promise you is, to
a man, everybody in this organization is committed to that
(30:34):
there isn't a man in this organization that isn't working
to get this right. Everybody's disappointed. Our fans are passionate
and they have right to be disappointed, but it's not
for a lack of work.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Moving here to Dolphin's offensive coordinator Frank Smith and one
of my go to topics quite frankly on the podcast
the last few weeks, the use of heavier personnel in
the groupings, specifically twenty two with two backs and two
tight ends, and how flexible Darren Waller and Devon Hchen,
Emileague Washington and Nick Westbrook akine how much these guys
that can play multiple positions and fulfill multiple roles, how
(31:09):
that expands your ability to stress the defense when you
go big grouping, and how you can be flexible from
that big grouping. Here is Dolphins OC Frank Smith.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Basically, when you have those bigger groupings, you anticipate this
version of the defense is going to come out, and
then did you get it. If you get it, okay,
now you can go into different parts of the manipulation
of the attack of the plan, which then would in
turn make them adjust or not adjust or they keep
doing what they're doing like you know, some guys do Hey,
they could run it or not.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
So I think.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
You know our time in Oakland at the Raiders, I
mean we were in twenty two thirteen. We're in bigger
groupings all the time because we had versatility at the
position that allowed us to be packed in to pound
it or we could spread out and empty and just
do it. So I think it ultimately is the versatility
of your guys allows each grouping to take on a
life of its own, like I mean, we're in other
groupings where we had two running backs, tight ends and
(32:00):
a wide out. Like it's the challenging parts of what
we think we're gonna get and trying to get our
guys out there to be able to work together and
you know, attack different parts of the defenses.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Let's swing this thing back to the defensive side of
the football here with Joe Berry, who was asked about
the run defense in general and what's gone wrong and
how the Dolphins can find a way to get it fixed.
Upfront with the run defense.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
I wish, I think when when you're off to a
start like we are, you always wish that it could
be just one or two things like hey, we we
we fix this one thing, it's going to be great.
But where we're at right now, it's not. It's it's
(32:41):
one thing on this play. It's one thing on this play.
It's one thing on this play. And that might be
you know, a guy up front on one play, linebacker
on a next play, a dB on a next play.
So I think collectively, and this, really, guys, is my belief.
You know, when when we're at the stage where we're
at right now, football is the ultimate team sport. It
(33:04):
is it is, and everybody involved I'm talking about everybody
in our building has to do better. You know, when
you're one in five, it's not just one or two things,
you know. And that's that's the thing that I really
feel good about, is the leadership that we have. The Seilers,
(33:24):
the Jordan Brooks's, those type of guys, they understand that
and they're like, you know what we all have.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
But everybody in the building, I don't.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
I don't care what your role is, what your position is,
what you do every single it's it's not just the
you know, the forty six helmets on game day, right
it's everybody. Everybody has to be better at their job.
When you're one and five, because again, it isn't just
one thing. You know, it's and you can say it's
you know, we've had a little bit, we've had bad luck,
and the ball hasn't bounced our way all that, But
(33:55):
the way you get out of that is that every
single person in this building just up in a little
bit and being better. And it's every single person coaches, players, trainers, managers,
everybody doing their job just a little bit better. And
then we'll get out of this thing because we have
I do believe we have. We have the character in
that locker room to get out of it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And we'll close with this a point I've made on
jonahs of I Naya a couple of times about how
I think, even though he is struggling through some of
the stuff in the past protection reps right now, I
believe ultimately this experience for him this year will benefit
himself and the Miami Dolphins long term, especially when he
has this man in his corner who teaches in such
an effective way and is so impassioned by what he does.
(34:39):
Let's go ahead and hear from Butcher Bury on rookie
left guard jonas of I Naya.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
We got to we improve everywhere.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
But I would say that, uh, you know, coming in
as a rookie, there's development that happens.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Right.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
You get put into a lot of situations and you
got to you got to play right away. And so
you know we've talked about it before. This is not
like my first time talking with you guys. Development is
is the core foundation of everything that we got to do, right,
and so it takes time. Right, Like you tie in
the left tackle, he's a young player in development with him,
but we're in your two, right, You're in your two,
(35:11):
so you're gonna have you have that development. That's gonna
be a different situation than the guy in year one, Right,
And so when you talk about development, it's every day
what is where is he at?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Foundationally?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
So every player starts at a different place.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
So like I look at it like this, and when
I'm a parent, right, I got three kids. They all
go at a different rate in terms of I have
an expectation what I think they should do and how
they should mature. Right, they don't do it at my rate,
though they do it their own. Okay, players have that
same type of type of motive operation. So it's the consistency.
It's the standard of work that we approach it with, right,
(35:45):
So how often can I build that recall? How often
can I get to use this inside hand? How often
can I get him to do that right? Because he's
got to build that recall, he's got to build that
feel right that people say muscle memory, But it's that recall,
that memory of how it occurred. So how often can
I force him to do that, to use his hands
every time, to stay inside out right, to keep his
(36:05):
feet moving and mirror the defender every day? We got
to work it every single day and endlessly amount of reps.
And then the fuel starts to happen, and it may
only happen It may only happen today five times in practice, right,
but then tomorrow maybe happens ten.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Is that improvement?
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Yeah, that's twice as many. Okay, so could he improve
from one game to the next, Yes, there's development. Is
it going? Is it at the rate that everyone wants
it at? That's for everyone to answer, right, what is
the expectation of what that place should be at this
point in time? But as long as it keeps getting better.
Now we're talking about the progress that we want and
(36:42):
that's the development because everyone starts in a different place,
everyone has a different foundation, So how do we build
that right? And so that's the key, and there is
progress and there is development. Okay, so but it was
it from it. Let's say there's fifty three plays in
the game and we say that thirty of them or
exactly the way we are, we're in trending in the
(37:02):
way we want them. Can you get to thirty five?
That's improvement? Can we get it to forty? Can we
get it to forty two? Not very often is there
anybody having fifty three or fifty three. I don't care
how good of a player they're at, what level they're at.
That's hard to do, right, because this is the NFL
and it's the best of the best.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
We are long into the back end of the podcast here,
so I won't do it. But there is a lot
of a lot of relativity there between what butch Berry
says and a golf swing that feel. Can you get
it five times this time, ten times next time? Like
I just love that approach to coaching because it's all
about muscle memory and feel and trying to make things
second nature.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
So there you go.

I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
we have an extended chat with Kyle Krabs for the
Football Friday, the week seven variety show here talking with
all things Miami Dolphins and the college football landscape. Plus
I make the week seven NFL picks, and we're gonna
hear from some of the Dolphins assistant coaches on this
(00:31):
Friday from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health

for a Football Friday, a variety show episode here in
the A block of this particular podcast is the great
Kyle Krabs. Kyle joins us every single weekend to talk
about the weekend in college football. But today, Kyle, we're
(00:52):
gonna talk to Miami Dolphins topics before we get into
the college football landscape here on this Friday episode of
the Draft Time Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Kyle, how we doing?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Man? I don't have a Washington State NCAA football game
going on right now, so you' a little more locked
in this week.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
It looks like, yeah, you keep trying to intimidate me
by telling me this is the A block. So I
figured I would keep the video games off and we're
gonna lock in and and and you're gonna get can
get my best as we give it old. Kyle is
try here to talk about some college football and Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Is is a promotion to the A block, which is
essentially like going from you know, a reserve player to
a starting player.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That's that's intimidating. It feels like a no. I just
feel like it's confident. It's uh, it's a little.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Past aggressive trying to get me rattle here as we
get rolling. So I'm gonna make sure I just stick
it to you and we're gonna have a great conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
My wife does tell me sometimes I can be a
little passive aggressive, so that does track. Let's go ahead
and talk about some content you recently published. I believe
it was on your help me out here because you
have twelve different streams A Z.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's that's why I thought it was okay.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So Kyle has written some really good content across the
entire National Football League, but his bread and butter is,
of course, these Miami don't Dolphins, And I want to
start with your piece Kyle because the title photo told
me one of the players and the article, and I
was excited to talk about him in general with you
and this concept of development and how it's not linear
in this league and how it can take a few
year sometimes. But Kyle wrote a story about three like
(02:17):
surprise breakout individuals for the Miami Dolphins this year. Just
go ahead and take us through that article and who
those three names are off the top, and then I'll
follow up my questions after that.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, So the three players that were acknowledged were some
individual success stories within the Dolphins and their roster this year,
and in particular at spots that we had questions throughout
the course of the offseason.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So everybody tight end.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Everybody talks about Darren Waller, and rightfully so for touchdown
catches in three games and what an amazing success story
he is as a guy who came back from retirement.
But Julian Hills has turned into a nice player.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Is he a marque top of the league and do
it all type of player? And that's certainly not the
stage where he's at yet, But I think he's playing
with more control in space as a blocker and the
assignments are clean, and you've seen him start to get
a little bit involved in the passing game where they
(03:15):
had that kind of reminded me of the twenty twenty
Chan Gaily tight end screen where we fake right and
then we fake left and then we come back to
the middle and we get a big rip up the
middle on that tight end screen. So it's been cool
to see Julian, who was kind of a really popular
punching bag for a lot of fans for some of
the penalties early in the year last year, to really
(03:39):
take to this offense the way that he has, So
that that's one spot for me.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Can I can I jump in on that and we
can go back to it because I want to.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I want to fall up on Julian specifically because he
to me, by the way, the fake screen you just
described was basically the water Boy play. He fakes, no,
he pretends to fake, he fakes the fake, and of
course coach gone, he's got his green notebook back man.
With Julian Hill, I feel like that player alone is
instructive for fans and media member anyone that follows this
(04:08):
game to kind of like take a page from that notebook,
because to your point. You know, there was a lot
of uh, you know, consternation among fans about Julian Hill's play,
and I think a lot of that has to do
with the fact that, you know, the negative plays that
he had were so in your face penalties, right, It's
that's a black and white thing that you can assess,
like he has too many penalties, but he hasn't had
a penalty since like last October or something like that.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So he sweared out that part of his game.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
And go ahead, everybody, if if Julian has any kind
of penalty on Sunday, you know who to blame, and
it's the host here on the Drive Time podcast because
he just jinks, the old broadcaster jinks miss and Phila.
But I mean it's I think the fact that he
doesn't have the penalties, it's because he's playing so well
within his you know, he just he's he looks comfortable.
(04:55):
Like there was a repper he was coming across the
formation on Sunday for like one of those rap blocks,
and he like dummied like he was gonna bury his
head and just try to run through the block, and
then like pulls up and sets himself into a position
to just square it off and like and basically play
basketball defense right, get between your man and the hoop.
And I'm like, that's a new look from Julian where
(05:15):
he's just playing in control and he kind of has
a feel for these landmarks. I'm curious, like, how when
you cause you're you're so good at doing this, Kyle, Like,
if you're in a Dolphins coaching position or front office,
you're watching this guy like there's flashes, but there's some
plays where it's like it's just not coming along for him,
but you can see where the development and the idea
of where they want him to get to, and it
(05:36):
looks like he's gotten to that point now, Like, how
do you watch a player like that who is from Campbell,
an undrafted player who's got obviously a lot of work
to do as a rookie to work a year, two,
three years in to get to the point to where
it's like that's what we're looking for, Like, how do
you how do you like trust the vision when it
takes maybe a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Well, I think that comes down to a few things.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
In my background in college scout is probably helpful here,
but you watch guys from a traits based perspective, and
you get a feel for the demeanor in which they
play the game, and you get a feel for who
they are as people, and you know, I think Patrick
Paul is another great example of that of the traits
(06:22):
with the mentality on the field, with who you are
as a person to put in the work to allow
it to develop. And those are two rousing success stories
for guys that were raw, whether it's because you played
at Campbell or it's whether because you played for Dana
Holgerson and like that style of offense didn't necessarily produce
(06:46):
the kind of polish right off the jump right when
you left, as compared to playing for Kirk Farrens at Iowa,
where those guys come out and they're tailor made to
play at the NFL level right away. So I think
those are the three variables that you have to be
able to identify and then trust that the messaging is
going to get home and that you can give consistent
messaging on how you need to execute it and the
(07:07):
rest will. As they say, the score will take care
of itself, And in this case, the score is the
player becoming a player you think he's capable of.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's been fun to watch, and I think that his
inclusion as a really lockdown, why tight end with the
addition of Darren Waller, has helped this offense kind of
reshape their identity and they post Tyreek Hill world like
we talked about last week, and here they go again.
You know, fourteen snaps out of that twenty two personnel grouping.
Was cool to see them succeed in that way. How
about the rest of the list, Kyle, two more guys
(07:34):
besides Julian Hill that you liked.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, I think Jake Bailey deserves a ton of credit
for the player that he is this year with his execution.
I mean, you look at qualifying punters across the league.
He's second best in net yards perpon It's forty seven
yards per pund net.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
That's not just total.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He's eighth in hang time, He's fifth in punts down
inside the twenty. He's seventh in return rate and seventh
in yards per return amongst qualifying punt is top quartile
of the league punter.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
And all of those statistics super consistent.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
And you know that there was also the element of
the chemistry that he had with Jason Sanders that we
haven't even been able to feel yet because Jason's been
out and Riley's done very well kind of in his
place to kind of hold the fork down and however
long that needs to happen. But Bailey punters can kick
for a long time. And you know, I look at
(08:28):
the two names, Julian Hill, who's obviously still on his
rookie contract but as a young player, and then Jake Bailey,
who the runway for playing is much longer there for
some of those specialists. Those are the two potential like
long term answers for their specific kinds of roles that
the Dolphins can maybe now look at they have. And
(08:49):
the other spot that I had on that story was
the CB one spot with Rasul Douglas, who I think
not necessarily a long term answer. He's obviously on a
stop gap one year contract and is in some of
the later chapters of his career, but I think by
and large, to play that he's given you, whether it's
in run support or tackling, or in coverage or being
combative at the catch point, he still played at a
(09:10):
high level. And I think if you said at the
beginning of the year, hey, the cornerback one spot, I
know we traded away the guy who's been in that chair,
if you will, the last two years. A lot of
fans have questions about, Okay, what kind of play are
you gonna get a corner and you know, the secondary
has its things to continue to work out. But I
see Rasseul Douglas as you know, any given week, he
(09:33):
could be a part of how you solve problems and
give yourself a chance to win a football game.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, it's I mean, he was that last tape was
a little bit of everything, run support, blitzing, coverage. He
was doing everything on the back end for the Miami Dolphins,
and it's kind of a reminder of how, you know,
little we actually know about this league and this this
sport in the summer months when you're trying to project
what teams are going to be because everyone thought, you know,
that cornerback position was going to be something that gave
(09:59):
the Dolphins, you know, made your issues, and right now
it's it's kind of been the run defense up front.
And that's considering the fact that you know, cater Coohu
goes down on the first Saturday of training camp when
you go through I mean, Cameron Danceler gets hurt. We've
we've just had these injuries in the secondary. Jason Marshall's out, Mike.
You know, there's all these players that they're trying to find,
you know, guys that can do multiple things now to
(10:19):
fill out those roles. And I think if someone had
told you, you know, back in August that Rasul Douglas
would be your top corner this season and the cornerback
position went actual played pretty well this year, I think
they would have maybe laughed at you. So it's just
a reminder that sometimes in this league, what you see
is not always what you get. And Kyle to that point,
I mean upfront, that was that was kind of the
theme of a lot of these you know, post training
(10:39):
camp practice, press conferences and just coverage in general. As
the Dolphins, we're going to find ways to make up
for the secondary with their front seven play. But right now,
the run defense is having a hard time finding its footing.
And so I'll pose the question to you this way.
We just finished up with assistant coaches here on this
Thursday talking about some of the elements in the running game.
But I'm curious in your estimation, what's happened with the
(11:00):
run defense that's yielding so many yards, and then the
follow up is what can they do to short up
and get things on the right track here?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Think we talked about this last week, but I really
think the Dolphins kind of have to on any given
week kind of decide do we want to build our
defensive strategy from the front back or from the back front,
And you know, that's where you have the injuries that
they've had with the nickel position in particular. I believe
Anthony Weaver acknowledged that. You know that they had some
(11:32):
hopes of using Elijah Campbell in the nickel and then
he got hurt. And it's just another example of a player.
So what's the domino effect of that?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Like the trickle down effect is there is how many
bodies do you need to play the coverage the way
you want to play the coverage versus how many guys
put their hand in the dirt and play for you
on the front, And with what Miami has been tested
with this year, I think it just creates kind of
(12:01):
a difficult decision you have to make on any given week.
And you look at some of the explosive plays that
the Dolphins have conceded the last couple of weeks, and
it feels like that there's guys are playing outside of
the last man in line of scrimmage, and you don't
necessarily have the three down interior from when you're in
your base defense with your your nose tackle and your
(12:23):
two odd front ends, if you will, whether they're gonna
regardless of what shade they're lining up in, and then
to the two stand up backers outside of that. So
I think that they just have to kind of try
to solve that problem. That's what coaching is all about, right.
It's like your resources and what you have to work
with now is pretty static. There'd be some teams that
(12:44):
make some trades by the trade deadline and bring a
new piece in here pieces there, But every single week,
it's about solving the problems of what awaits us with
this opponent.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
And what they like to try to do.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And I just think that that continues to be a
moving target for Miami. And some of that is just
who continues to the nickel positions like it's snake bit
right now. Whoever ends up stepping in that spot, it
gets jumbled up again and again and it makes it
really difficult. And that's where you had mentioned cater Co
(13:18):
who that's where cater was so good, right, and like
that that individual loss the trickle down effect, I think
you're feeling in a lot of ways still.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Especially I mean to your point, especially when I mean
everyone that steps into that positions, it just seems like
a fluky thing happens that winds up putting on the sidelines.
And for Elijah Campbell, who you know, we've heard a
lot about Campbell the last couple of years and what
he does in an underrated facet on the defense from
that safety position, And for a long time I always
thought like his his ability as like a you know,
a dime safety or even like a dime linebacker position
(13:52):
on third and long in those sub packages you can
kind of see where like his special team's prowess, you know,
converts over to the defense side of the football.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And perhaps they had similar thoughts there.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
But to your point, I mean, it wasn't even you know,
you put the game plan in Tuesdays and then you
come out here on a Wednesday in the first day like, oh,
our our fifth contingency plan just got a quad entry
in practice. Like that's that kind of year for the Dolphins.
Defense right now. So good stuff. Man, We're gonna pause
for a quick break, comeback on the other side and
talk a little bit about the college football weekend. That's
next Draft Time podcast, brought to you by Auto Nation.
(14:26):
Kyle Krabs my guest today for an A and B
block segment. Let's go ahead and get to the meat
and potatoes of what we usually have you on here
for I do appreciate you filling out the A and
B block for us here though. I got the weekend
in college football, and you know I always tell you
that the weekend to me is always set up by
the quarterback play, no matter.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Like who you are.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But we're gonna we're gonna buy pass that this week
and get into some other other action other positions.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And there's a game.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I don't know if it's out west or pent Texas,
but I know you want to talk about a certain
game that is west of the Mississippi. Tell us about
that game and who the prospects are you're looking at
in that one.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It's Texas Tech number seven against Arizona State. And Arizona
State was is a team that is home to one
of the most prolific wide receiver prospects in the country,
and that's Jordan Tyson, who was originally with Colorado transfers
to Arizona State. He had seventy five catches for over
(15:20):
eleven hundred yards and ten touchdowns in twenty twenty four
when Arizona State made their run to the College Football Playoff.
He leads the country and receiving touchdowns and receptions through
six games. He's forty seven catches and seven touchdowns through
six games thus far, and that was without that. They
weren't overly competitive against Utah in their most recent game,
(15:42):
but they were without their starting quarterback in that game,
Sam Levitt. So he said, Okay, I can't really get
it going on in the passing game. I can only
get five yards to catch on eight catches. I'll just
run a touchdown. And he had a three yard rushing
touchdown for Jordan Tyson. So he's a really impressive talent
in what is looking like it's a pretty full wide
(16:06):
receiver block yet again and should not be a surprise
with all this, Like the seven on seven work that
a lot of these guys are able to do when
they're in high school, now right, you could really do that,
especially if you're down south, you could do a year round.
So the passing game prospects look great. And when you
have dynamic passing games, that means you got to have
(16:28):
guys that disrupt the posing quarterbacks. And David Bailey from
Texas Tech tied for the nation lead or the FBS lead,
with eight and a half sacks. He's got nine and
a half tackles for loss. He's been a superbly productive
pass rusher. He had seven sacks last year, so he's
already set a career high. But he had five forced
(16:50):
fumbles in twenty twenty four with Stanford. He transferred this
year to Texas Tech. That's the spotlight of two guys
that if you told me they were top thirty picks
when it's all said and done, I would totally believe you.
And the fact that you get them both on the
field at the same time is a game that I'm
very much looking forward to getting my eyes on.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Outstanding stuff, as always from Kyle again, you can find
all that work. All the stuff we talked about in
the A block is stuff that he's written about. So
if you want to go find his columns and his analysis.
There at eight is the sports NFL. You can find
it there. He's the host of the Lockdown Dolphins podcast,
host of Lockdown NFL Scouting, author of Touchdown Miami, and
at Kyle Krabs on social Kyle, you were locked in, No,
(17:29):
Kuch's on the other B screen there for you this week.
I think you give an A plus performance in the
A block. We appreciate my friend, and we'll see you assume.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Kyle. Yeah, good stuff, Travis, thanks and away he goes.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Always fun chatting with my pal Kyle, who does great
work across multiple streams of content for the Miami Dolphins.
Let's go ahead and spend some time here on the
week seven picks. To be quite frank with you, guys,
I don't have a national reporter on, I don't have
any announcers from the game this weekend. So we're gonna
kind of extend this NFL ortion here a little bit,
(18:00):
because this week in the NFL is a very interesting one,
and quite frankly, the league right now is as interesting
to me as it's ever been. And something similar is
kind of happening in baseball, and it was that the
case in the American League all year long. My Seattle manners,
as I record this podcast two to one right now
in the ALCS big game coming tonight. By the time
(18:21):
you hear this podcast, we'll know if it's three to
one or two to two, and full fledged panic sets in.
But across Major League Baseball, like the Dodgers are the
heavy favorite right now to win the World Series, but
they were kind of down this year in terms of
their record, and there was a couple of teams that
were powerhouses, but by and large, there was more parody
(18:41):
than we're used to seeing. And in the NFL right now,
it's kind of absurd, Like there's a The Heat the
Call podcast. Dan Hans is Smart Sessler, Justin Graver Connor
or the first two guys' names are on the show,
but the other two guys contribute in a big way,
the producer and their main guest. But it's my favorite
football podcast. I've said that about the Around the NFL
(19:03):
podcast for years before that got disbanded by NFL Media
and Mark and Dan broke off and did their own show.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
And I mean, I say it all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It's there's two forms of podcasting you can have, right
you can have highly informative or you can have super entertaining.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
We try.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I try, Travis Wingfield tries on the Travis Wingfield Drive
Time podcast to thread that needle and be both things.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I hope i'd do that. That's that's the goal, that's
the vision.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's a that's Jason Siegel and Russell Brand floating on
surfboards in the Pacific Ocean and forgetting Sarah Marshall and
Russell Brand tells Jason Siegel is like this gothic what
does he say? It's like a gothic David Bowie or
whatever the hell he is saysing. That's like exactly what
I'm going for. Man, That's exactly what I'm going for here,
entertaining as well as informative, and on the Heat the
(19:50):
Call podcast they are more the entertaining faction and they
do a great job of making.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
The podcast fun.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
And one of the things they do for that is
the rankings, which I don't I don't really care about
Power Rankings. It used to be a big deal to me,
but nowadays it's just like, I mean, your eyes kind
of tell you what you need to see, need to know,
I guess. But anyway, this is a long winded way
of saying. On the Power Rankings episode they just had
they didn't know, like there was discrepancies about somebody had
(20:20):
the Bucks as the number one team and somebody had
them as the number eleven team. And think about how
almost impossible that should be because in years past, especially
in recent years, you have your your league powers, right,
and they're always the same teams, and you know, people
like to talk about football in the sense that it's
(20:40):
some great parody driven league that every year teams can
you can have a Washington Commanders from twenty twenty four
pop up and be a team that you know, threatens
for the championship round. That's a pretty rare occurrence in
the NFL because it's been Buffalo, it's been Kansas City,
it's been Baltimore for a long long time.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It was the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I think there was a run there where it was
only the Patriots and Chiefs were in AFC Championship of Games,
or one of the two had been in there for
like twenty something years. I think that that streak still
continues to this day, right, So to see it kind
of turn this way, is this the new norm or
is this just a one off year? Because the Ravens
are like shitt We talked about the Ravens on the
(21:23):
Preview Summer series as the best roster in football. They're
one and five and that is due in large part
to like insane level of injuries, Like just a year
from hell for those guys. But I mean the Bills,
like they're off two consecutive losses. Do the Bills ever
lose a game in Atlanta like in past years? Kansas
City's three and three, like it's a weird year, and
so I'm it makes me I have a lot of
(21:47):
thoughts about that, the possibility of this being the new
norm in the NFL. Because if that's the case, like
you can turn it around quick, right, you can. You
can be one in five one year. Maybe it's that
you don't get the win late that you needed. Maybe
next year you do get those wins and then you
push for the playoffs and then by the time you
get there, maybe there is enough parody that you can
break the door down and get across you know, all
(22:09):
those those those barriers the Dolphins fans want to see
your break across. Just a thought before the week seven
picks right now, eleven and four. Last week, we went
into Monday Night Football at eleven and two missed both
those primetime games. In fact, three of the four losses
were in the primetime slate, So hoping to kick it
off better this week. It brings us to sixty six
twenty six and one on the season. That's a seventy
(22:31):
two percent winning percentage. And we picked the Bengals, or
rather the Steelers over the Bengals on Thursday Night. Is
that a win?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Is that a loss?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That's we've lost two consecutive Thursday Night Football games. Hopefully
Joe Flacco does not spoil it here for a third.
Let's go ahead and cue the music and talk about
the rest of the Sunday slate and into Monday Night Football,
which has two pretty good games on that slate. In
my opinion, que the music. We're taking the Rams over
the Jaguars. The Rams kind of stumbled through a win
over the Ravens, a seventeen to three win over the
(23:01):
Cooper Rush Ravens, and they replaced him with Tyler Huntly
late in that football game. I think the Rams can
cruise in this one over the Jags as well as
the Jags come out west. I'm not really buying the
Jags at four and.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Two right now. I think that they are.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
They're gonna be that team this year to me that
had this hot start and maybe doesn't quite finish the
way they had hoped they would.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I do like Liam Cohen a heck of a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I think he's got the right program in place there
to get things going in the right direction. But ultimately,
I think a lot of those wins were just over
some inferior opponents, and the Rams are not that Rams
over Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
The Eagles and Vikings.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
This is one where I like the Vikings matchup in
terms of how they go up against the Eagles offense.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
But this is kind of like what the league is
right now.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's like this awesome Vikings defense and their quarterback is
Carson Wentz, Like, how can I.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Get behind that operation? Even if it's J. J.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
McCarthy, who you guys know, I wasn't a big fan
of his coming out of the draft. I just can't
do it. So Eagles over Vikings and the Eagles get
back on track. Here another team that looked like world
beaters even though they were aren't dominating their first four
wins of the season and has since lost two straight.
Patriots over Titans. Are the Patriots going to be that
team that steps up. But Drake May looks like the
absolute truth. And I just want to go ahead and
(24:11):
mention one potential scary outcome for you guys here.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
We know about Josh Allen. Drake May looks to be
a dude.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And what if the Jets get the first overall pick
and they get like Leonori's cellars, and now you've got
three freaks in the division at quarterback.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I don't like the sound of that. So Patriots over Titans.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And speaking of the Jets, I have win their first
game this weekend over I put Cleveland here. That's not
who they're playing. Who the hell did the Jets play?
How did that happen? They're playing the Panthers. I'm taking
the Jets over the Panthers. I think they can run
the ball against that Panthers front, and I think they'll
be able to find enough stoffs on the Bryce Young
lead offense. Give me the Jets to win their first
(24:51):
game and we get our last winless team off the Schneid.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I took the Browns over the Dolphins. You guys know
about that.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I saw that they're supposed to be fifty possibly sixty
mine hour win Gus in that game. That could make
for a very interesting matchup there for the Dolphins and Browns.
Browns over the Dolphins. I'm taking the Bears over the
Saints to get back to four and two just like
they were last year. Can they finish the season better
than where do they go? Five and twelve at the
end of the year. I think they kind of like
the Jags, have won some games against some not so
(25:17):
great competition. The Commanders handed that win to them on
Monday Night when they had the lead and the ball
down the stretch and then fumbled a quarterback running back
exchange and a handoff. I'll take the Bears over the Saints,
and the Saints have been kind of punchy, and I
think the Saints are going to pick off a couple
of games this year more than I thought they would,
but not this one. I'll take the Chiefs over the Raiders.
That's probably the easiest pick of the week to me.
(25:39):
The Raiders losing Colton Miller on an offensive line that
wasn't playing well in the first place, against the Steves
Bagnolo defense, against the turnover centric quarterback, that's going to
be all outside of game in my opinion. And they
get Rashid Rice back this week. This is the hardest
pick of the week right here. To me, I think
I'm gonna go Colts over Chargers because of the Chargers
injuries and just the entire nature of their offense. We
(25:59):
saw for basically all but three drives, a couple of
second half drives and then the game winning drive for
the Chargers here that they're just an offensive operation right
now that just can't get out of its own way.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
They're banged up.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I don't know if they're getting Joel Allt back this
week or not, if they are not that tackle situation
against the Colts front. I think the Colts can get
after the Chargers here, and I think the Colts are
gonna wind up being the team that I was the
most wrong on this year. I had them as a
possible top five pick. They look like a lock to
win that division right now. I'm taking the Giants over
the Broncos. I don't love it, to be honest with
you guys, but the Broncos are another one of those teams.
(26:31):
This is why it's frustrating to see the Dolphins not
close out their wins, because I feel like the Jags,
the Broncos. You maybe put the Patriots in the same category.
I don't think they're the same way, but the Steelers.
Like there's a lot of teams right now that are
have good records, but I don't think will be more
than eight to nine win teams. I think the Dolphins,
had they found a way to, you know, could they
find a way to get back to ten wins like
that could have been enough.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
For a wild card position. But I digress.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
We'll take the Packers over the Cardinals. Whether it's Jake
Briskett or Kyler Murray doesn't matter to me. I'm taking
the Commanders over the Cowboys. I do think jayde and
Daniels showed some of the twenty four Daniels in that
game on Monday Night. I think we're gonna see more
of that here going forward. I'll take the Niners over
the Falcons. Do I feel good about it? Not, particularly
the Niners lose Fred Warner after losing Nick Bosa, But
(27:16):
I do think that the Falcons getting a big win
on a short weak against a really good opponent is
typically your poise to get picked off the next week,
especially against a tough team like the Niners that I
know They're banged up, but they still have the same,
you know, Niners mentality. I'll take the Lions over the
Bucks on Monday Night football. The Bucks are kind of
my adopted team this year. Love Baker Mayfield, but Detroit
I think, even though Tampa has picked them off the
(27:38):
last couple of years, I think Detroit, with their physicality
and the injuries of the Bucks, can kind of catch
up to him this week. Give me the Lions in
a big spot on Monday Night and the Seahawks over
the Texans. Seahawks, Man, that's kind of like the operation,
the program that I think Miami should aspire to kind
of go towards down the road here, because I think
Seattle's like run game, pass game balance, and the physicality
on defense, I think could can pour itself well here
(27:59):
in Southward Seattle, good looking football team, Houston still trying
to figure things out offensively. All take Seattle over the
Texans there to round out the week seven picks. Let's
go ahead and take our last break right there. Come
back on the other side and hear from some of
the assistant coaches here for the Miami Dolphins. That's Next
Draft Time podcast, brought to you by a donation. We
are going to close up shop here on a Friday
(28:21):
with four soundbites from four coaches, Anthony Weaver, Frank Smith,
and the Barry Bros.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Joe and Butch.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
We'll start here with coach Weaver, who was asked about
how he's doing. How are you compartmentalizing the first six
weeks of the NFL season so far, how the defense
is playing, and the reaction and the fan base and
their vitriol. How are you handling all of this, Coach Weaver,
Let's go ahead and throw it to the Dolphins defensive coordinator.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I work in service, right, and I've been doing this
a long time, and I don't do it because I
want to be a head coach. I don't do it
because I want to make money. I do it because
I want to help players and I want to win, right,
I want to win. This game ultimately is about winning.
So how I'm doing. I've been better. I've been better.
(29:08):
I'm a little edgy, but I told I told the
guys on Wednesday that when you're in this situation, it's
going to involve couraging character. Right, That's what it's about.
And I need them to show that and that in
these situations. What happens is that you have these battles
against yourself where you're trying to make sure you're not
(29:33):
having losing habits. You're not pointing the finger, you're pulling
the thumb, You're making sure you're not taking shortcuts right,
because obviously that will resultant losses too. But if you
can't win these battles against yourself, I don't know how
the heck you win the battle against somebody else. So
that's what we're trying to do. Every day. I'm trying
(29:53):
to do my best to make sure I remain a
lighthouse in the storm right, keep trying to do the
next right thing. Get these guys to play as hard,
as physical, as fast as they can, and never be
the scorel take care of itself. We got to find
a way to win these games in the fourth I
think we've lost four games, four or fi five losses
(30:14):
have come in the fourth quarter. And I've always thought
that pressure reveals habits. So until we've had enough training
where those mistakes don't happen in critical situations, the results
won't change. Now, what I can promise you is, to
a man, everybody in this organization is committed to that
(30:34):
there isn't a man in this organization that isn't working
to get this right. Everybody's disappointed. Our fans are passionate
and they have right to be disappointed, but it's not
for a lack of work.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Moving here to Dolphin's offensive coordinator Frank Smith and one
of my go to topics quite frankly on the podcast
the last few weeks, the use of heavier personnel in
the groupings, specifically twenty two with two backs and two
tight ends, and how flexible Darren Waller and Devon Hchen,
Emileague Washington and Nick Westbrook akine how much these guys
that can play multiple positions and fulfill multiple roles, how
(31:09):
that expands your ability to stress the defense when you
go big grouping, and how you can be flexible from
that big grouping. Here is Dolphins OC Frank Smith.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Basically, when you have those bigger groupings, you anticipate this
version of the defense is going to come out, and
then did you get it. If you get it, okay,
now you can go into different parts of the manipulation
of the attack of the plan, which then would in
turn make them adjust or not adjust or they keep
doing what they're doing like you know, some guys do Hey,
they could run it or not.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
So I think.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
You know our time in Oakland at the Raiders, I
mean we were in twenty two thirteen. We're in bigger
groupings all the time because we had versatility at the
position that allowed us to be packed in to pound
it or we could spread out and empty and just
do it. So I think it ultimately is the versatility
of your guys allows each grouping to take on a
life of its own, like I mean, we're in other
groupings where we had two running backs, tight ends and
(32:00):
a wide out. Like it's the challenging parts of what
we think we're gonna get and trying to get our
guys out there to be able to work together and
you know, attack different parts of the defenses.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Let's swing this thing back to the defensive side of
the football here with Joe Berry, who was asked about
the run defense in general and what's gone wrong and
how the Dolphins can find a way to get it fixed.
Upfront with the run defense.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
I wish, I think when when you're off to a
start like we are, you always wish that it could
be just one or two things like hey, we we
we fix this one thing, it's going to be great.
But where we're at right now, it's not. It's it's
(32:41):
one thing on this play. It's one thing on this play.
It's one thing on this play. And that might be
you know, a guy up front on one play, linebacker
on a next play, a dB on a next play.
So I think collectively, and this, really, guys, is my belief.
You know, when when we're at the stage where we're
at right now, football is the ultimate team sport. It
(33:04):
is it is, and everybody involved I'm talking about everybody
in our building has to do better. You know, when
you're one in five, it's not just one or two things,
you know. And that's that's the thing that I really
feel good about, is the leadership that we have. The Seilers,
(33:24):
the Jordan Brooks's, those type of guys, they understand that
and they're like, you know what we all have.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
But everybody in the building, I don't.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
I don't care what your role is, what your position is,
what you do every single it's it's not just the
you know, the forty six helmets on game day, right
it's everybody. Everybody has to be better at their job.
When you're one and five, because again, it isn't just
one thing. You know, it's and you can say it's
you know, we've had a little bit, we've had bad luck,
and the ball hasn't bounced our way all that, But
(33:55):
the way you get out of that is that every
single person in this building just up in a little
bit and being better. And it's every single person coaches, players, trainers, managers,
everybody doing their job just a little bit better. And
then we'll get out of this thing because we have
I do believe we have. We have the character in
that locker room to get out of it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And we'll close with this a point I've made on
jonahs of I Naya a couple of times about how
I think, even though he is struggling through some of
the stuff in the past protection reps right now, I
believe ultimately this experience for him this year will benefit
himself and the Miami Dolphins long term, especially when he
has this man in his corner who teaches in such
an effective way and is so impassioned by what he does.
(34:39):
Let's go ahead and hear from Butcher Bury on rookie
left guard jonas of I Naya.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
We got to we improve everywhere.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
But I would say that, uh, you know, coming in
as a rookie, there's development that happens.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Right.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
You get put into a lot of situations and you
got to you got to play right away. And so
you know we've talked about it before. This is not
like my first time talking with you guys. Development is
is the core foundation of everything that we got to do, right,
and so it takes time. Right, Like you tie in
the left tackle, he's a young player in development with him,
but we're in your two, right, You're in your two,
(35:11):
so you're gonna have you have that development. That's gonna
be a different situation than the guy in year one, Right,
And so when you talk about development, it's every day
what is where is he at?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Foundationally?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
So every player starts at a different place.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
So like I look at it like this, and when
I'm a parent, right, I got three kids. They all
go at a different rate in terms of I have
an expectation what I think they should do and how
they should mature. Right, they don't do it at my rate,
though they do it their own. Okay, players have that
same type of type of motive operation. So it's the consistency.
It's the standard of work that we approach it with, right,
(35:45):
So how often can I build that recall? How often
can I get to use this inside hand? How often
can I get him to do that right? Because he's
got to build that recall, he's got to build that
feel right that people say muscle memory, But it's that recall,
that memory of how it occurred. So how often can
I force him to do that, to use his hands
every time, to stay inside out right, to keep his
(36:05):
feet moving and mirror the defender every day? We got
to work it every single day and endlessly amount of reps.
And then the fuel starts to happen, and it may
only happen It may only happen today five times in practice, right,
but then tomorrow maybe happens ten.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Is that improvement?
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Yeah, that's twice as many. Okay, so could he improve
from one game to the next, Yes, there's development. Is
it going? Is it at the rate that everyone wants
it at? That's for everyone to answer, right, what is
the expectation of what that place should be at this
point in time? But as long as it keeps getting better.
Now we're talking about the progress that we want and
(36:42):
that's the development because everyone starts in a different place,
everyone has a different foundation, So how do we build
that right? And so that's the key, and there is
progress and there is development. Okay, so but it was
it from it. Let's say there's fifty three plays in
the game and we say that thirty of them or
exactly the way we are, we're in trending in the
(37:02):
way we want them. Can you get to thirty five?
That's improvement? Can we get it to forty? Can we
get it to forty two? Not very often is there
anybody having fifty three or fifty three. I don't care
how good of a player they're at, what level they're at.
That's hard to do, right, because this is the NFL
and it's the best of the best.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
We are long into the back end of the podcast here,
so I won't do it. But there is a lot
of a lot of relativity there between what butch Berry
says and a golf swing that feel. Can you get
it five times this time, ten times next time? Like
I just love that approach to coaching because it's all
about muscle memory and feel and trying to make things
second nature.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
So there you go.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
