Transcript

00:00The Dolphins will be back on the practice field today.

00:02And then I believe tomorrow we got ourselves a little joint practice

00:07as the Jacksonville Jaguars make their way to town.

00:10For those who don't recall, this is their head coach.

00:14Their head coach is Liam Cohen.

00:16Oh, this is a wall guy.

00:17And he is, of course, infamous for his introductory press conference.

00:23Jacksonville.

00:24The community.

00:27Duval.

00:28Oh, my goodness.

00:31Yep.

00:31That's that's.

00:32Can we.

00:33Yep.

00:34Can we.

00:36It never fails.

00:39We have several situations.

00:43Including at LSU.

00:45Where a perfectly normal Caucasian male got country.

00:55My family.

00:57And like.

00:59Too much.

01:01Look.

01:01Just do what every other coach does.

01:03You get them to give you a tie.

01:05You put the tie to school on.

01:07Right.

01:07The pin.

01:08You do the little fight thing.

01:09And then that's it.

01:11Don't overdo it.

01:13He tried to.

01:13He tried to be cute.

01:15Jacksonville.

01:16The community.

01:19Duval.

01:20And he looks 12.

01:22With facial hair.

01:23Yep.

01:24Well, he is.

01:25He's coming to town with his Jacksonville Jaguars and Travis Hunter playing both both sides of the football.

01:31And, you know, we'll see what he's got.

01:34But he did speak to the media about his conversations with Mike McDaniel on, you know, what to expect in these joint practices.

01:44And he said that, you know, this is not exactly going to be an overly physical practice, he believes, with the Miami Dolphins.

01:53This is what he had to say.

01:57Going to go sort of the schedule with Coach McDaniel.

02:00Yeah, we spoke this morning.

02:01I mean, it'll be very similar to our practices.

02:05You know, they've already had a few, especially a few physical ones.

02:09So, you know, not sure it's going to be as maybe as much as we fully would like in terms of that because we're on different schedules than them.

02:18They didn't play their guys.

02:19And now, you know, may in this game, who knows?

02:22I'm not sure.

02:23But I know that they've already had a few physical joints.

02:25And so, we're just really trying to go down and get some really quality work against another opponent.

02:31But that outline of practice will be very similar to our structure.

02:36All right.

02:36That's Liam Cohn.

02:38What do you make of that, Leroy?

02:39That was a little bit strange.

02:42Nothing.

02:43I would say this.

02:45If we compete, we compete.

02:47That's what I was like.

02:48What?

02:48And you put whatever.

02:49You can put whatever to it.

02:50You come in here.

02:51And if I might be there and say, they can come up here and...

02:55Think they ain't going to get that smoke.

02:57Well, they kind of felt like he heard from Mike McDaniel that they're not going to get that smoke.

03:01Like, that's the way I read it.

03:03It didn't feel like they thought they weren't getting that smoke.

03:05I think he wanted to come in and get that smoke.

03:07And he's like, you know, we've kind of gotten that smoke for the last two weeks.

03:11No, no, no.

03:12Basically, what the Jaguars coach said is that we're at different points of our preseason.

03:19So the practices are going to be more accommodating to us because they haven't practiced against any other teams and the Dolphins have.

03:30Two very physical teams.

03:32That being said, football is football.

03:40You go on that field.

03:42You go out there with a purpose.

03:44You go out there to do the things that you are building on.

03:50And you can't turn back the clock.

03:53You can't unring that bell.

03:55Once we start doing things a certain way, you keep doing it that way.

03:59Here's a little bit more of Liam Cohen on what he is expecting at the Dolphins joints.

04:06I tell you what, I don't know no black liams.

04:10Can't disagree with you there.

04:15Can't disagree with you there.

04:17There's more white Leroys than there are black liams.

04:21I would agree with that.

04:22I would agree with that.

04:23Here is more of Mr. Duvall.

04:27No, that won't change any of that.

04:29No, it will be good work against another quality opponent down in the heat.

04:34So, I don't think that won't change.

04:35We're still going to get good work in.

04:37You know, it will still be a good fit.

04:38Anytime you go and join, it's not typically, especially our guys not having one yet,

04:43I'm sure they'll be juiced up to go against somebody else.

04:46So, I'm not really worried about us not getting quality work.

04:48Kind of feels like he feels like there's going to be some action.

04:57Yeah.

04:58If they haven't gotten to go against anybody all summer yet.

05:01I don't know what to make of it.

05:08Like, you know, once you get into the heat of battle, that kind of dictates how the practice

05:13is going to go.

05:14Soon as somebody get their bell rung a little bit, soon as somebody come across middle and

05:19get hit, then now everybody is on alert.

05:23Right?

05:24It's the same thing happened with the Dolphins.

05:26No, I know.

05:26They went to Chicago and start getting body slammed, and they're like, hold up.

05:31Hold up.

05:31I just felt like from his first comments, like I felt like he got on the phone with Mike

05:36McDaniel, you know, we're kind of banged up.

05:39You know, we had some tough practices.

05:40Take it easy, baby.

05:42You think Mike said that to him?

05:43Yeah.

05:44Absolutely.

05:44No.

05:45That's how I read it.

05:46Let me explain something to you.

05:51How can I say this?

05:52I don't care how broke down, banged up, or whatever.

05:57If you Mike McDaniel, you don't ever come out of a situation like this, given the appearance

06:02that you are soft.

06:03Am I reading that wrong?

06:05Yeah.

06:05How did you read that?

06:06Because I felt like he was implying that Mike McDaniel said that they're not going to

06:09go as hard this week.

06:11That's exactly how I took it.

06:12And I think it's like exactly what Leary said.

06:14I think it's ridiculous that you continue like out of this preseason, all these joint practices

06:20that you have, people have been coming at you, telling you that you're soft, that you're

06:24not playing physical football.

06:25And then you go and you allow another coach to basically go and say the same thing that

06:29you came to him and were like, please, please don't hurt our guys.

06:32That's what it felt like.

06:34That's how I felt like.

06:35But let's be clear.

06:38This is coming from the other coach, not from Mike McDaniel.

06:42I understand, but it kind of feels like he squealed on Mike McDaniel.

06:47Oh, no.

06:48I feel like he did it on purpose, too.

06:49When did they go into practice?

06:50When did they go into practice?

06:52Tomorrow.

06:53Okay.

06:54Tomorrow.

06:54Now, here's what I would say, that they could also mean this, that we're going to do one-on-ones,

07:05we're going to do seven-on-sevens, we're going to do special teams, but we're not going

07:10to do full squat, we're not going to do 11-on-11, and we're not going to do short yardage.

07:18Maybe.

07:18So that, it could also be that's how they're structuring the practice.

07:24So it's not a matter of being, but I'm going to tell you, here, we've had now two joint practices

07:33where the Miami Dolphins didn't fully understand that they were playing football on day one.

07:40Okay?

07:42Yep.

07:43So if they come out and I hear somebody writing a story about, oh, Jacksonville came and pushed

07:53them around, I'm like, does that mean we're going to be down every game and have to respond

08:01to the other team, or are we ever going to be the aggressor?

08:05Well, I guess, you know, it could be that, you know, listen, Liam Cohen is a rookie head

08:10coach.

08:10Maybe he had an oopsie-daisy at the press conference.

08:12He goes, eh, I shouldn't have said that.

08:14You know, I don't know.

08:15It ain't, and listen.

08:16Or maybe he's trying to feel this guy's of himself.

08:18You can say whatever you want in a press conference.

08:23You can talk all the trash you want before a game, but when the game starts, that's all

08:32that matters.

08:33All I want to see is this.

08:36The first two teams that you did work against, they came out and punched you in the mouth

08:41and you had to respond on day two.

08:43Yep.

08:43So, are we going to be the ones that say, okay, guys, let's initiate this?

08:51Doesn't sound like it.

08:52You don't know that.

08:53Sounds like we're going to take a jog.

08:55Because of what Duval said?

08:57What do you mean?

08:57I don't know.

08:58Just because he had a weird Duval doesn't mean he's not telling.

09:00Can you play it again, Brittany, the first part where he's explaining?

09:02Because it kind of feels like he ratted on Mike McDaniel.

09:05Have you figured out yet how it's going to go, sort of the schedule with Coach McDaniel?

09:09Yeah, we spoke this morning.

09:11I mean, it'll be very similar to our practices.

09:15You know, they've already had a few, especially a few physical ones.

09:19So, you know, not sure it's going to be maybe as much as we fully would like in terms of

09:25that because we're on different schedules than them.

09:28They didn't play their guys.

09:30And now, you know, may in this game, who knows?

09:32I'm not sure.

09:33But I know that they've already had a few physical joints.

09:35No, no, no.

09:35I'm not sure.

09:36What do you mean?

09:37I'm not going to let him do this.

09:38What do you mean, dude?

09:39Because let me explain something to you.

09:44Y'all not listening quite like I'm listening.

09:50When a coach comes out and says, it's not going to be as physical as we would like.

09:59I'm like, when all of a sudden did you become the Philadelphia Eagles or the Detroit Lions?

10:05Jaguars?

10:08Did you hear that?

10:09That's exactly what I heard.

10:12I was like, wait a minute.

10:13It kind of feels like he's.

10:15It kind of feels like.

10:16No, absolutely not.

10:18I'm not.

10:18No.

10:19I'm telling you.

10:20I think.

10:20I think you're not going to come into here.

10:23You ain't going to come into my.

10:25And if I might be there, you know, it's like, oh, you don't think we could be physical?

10:30That's what.

10:30Yeah.

10:31Maybe he's goading him into a physical practice.

10:34How do you go?

10:35Football's football.

10:37I don't know.

10:38Is football football?

10:38Because we found down here that football is not necessarily football.

10:41football football.

10:43Again.

10:45That.

10:45That right there.

10:47Jacksonville.

10:48The community.

10:49This guy.

10:50This is the guy.

10:51Do ball.

10:53That.

10:53That's the guy.

10:54Do ball.

10:56He looks like he just came back from Jacksonville.

10:57Do ball.

10:58Do ball.

10:59He does.

11:00He looks like Florida Springs.

11:02Right.

11:03Right.

11:04Looks like he's on the.

11:05On the energy.

11:06All he need is a big old fat dip in a fishing pole.

11:09Oh, yeah.

11:10And he good.

11:11So I'm not listening to him.

11:14He said it.

11:15But.

11:16See.

11:17And here's why if I'm Mike McDaniel, I'm a little upset about this.

11:23So.

11:24Wait a minute.

11:25Are you insinuating.

11:26That I suggest you take it easy on us?

11:32Are you suggesting that?

11:35Right.

11:36Because it sounded kind of weird.

11:38But.

11:39And the way he said it was.

11:42We're at different points.

11:44Of preseason practice in that they have practiced against two very physical teams.

11:50The Dolphins.

11:50And we haven't.

11:51Right.

11:51Well, that's right.

11:52When he was explaining that part, I was like, okay, I could see how.

11:56Maybe he doesn't want.

11:59You know.

12:00Maybe he doesn't want to have three consecutive weeks.

12:04Of running his guys into the ground and being physical like that.

12:07I've had that.

12:09Right.

12:10Where they won't practice any of the vets.

12:12Because we went at it pretty hard the last couple of weeks against other teams.

12:16Right.

12:17But then.

12:18But then.

12:20Then.

12:21The audacity.

12:24Of this man to say.

12:27Oh, it might not be as physical as we would like.

12:31I'm like.

12:32Oh, really?

12:33Told you.

12:33You're the foremost expert on physical football there.

12:36Yeah.

12:36I don't.

12:36Jacksonville.

12:37Now you're on.

12:38Now you're.

12:39Now you're picking up what I'm telling you.

12:41What I'm just saying.

12:42We had no conversation with Mike DeGay.

12:44I'm not listening to this college kid.

12:46You don't know what he's.

12:47I mean.

12:47I don't think he's that young.

12:48I think he's like 40.

12:49I don't think.

12:50You know.

12:50He's not like.

12:51He's not like.

12:52He's.

12:52You know.

12:53Sean McVay.

12:54Okay.

12:55It.

12:55It could have been.

12:56To me.

12:57He looked like Tommy with a mustache and a beard taped to his face.

13:01Saying.

13:02Duval.

13:03Right.

13:03I just don't like.

13:04Now we're getting.

13:05Hey.

13:06You know what.

13:07This is.

13:08If me and you would have said that to each other.

13:09He's like.

13:10Oh, what exactly are you insinuating?

13:12That will do.

13:13That's exactly what I thought.

13:14I was like.

13:14What is he insinuating?

13:15He's insinuating that he wanted that action.

13:17And Mike McDaniel was like.

13:18We've had that action.

13:20And I think he's very.

13:21He's played it very smart.

13:22Because he used the word physical.

13:24Which has been the hot play for the.

13:25Dolphin the entire preseason.

13:28So it's like he wanted.

13:29Like he wanted a reaction.

13:30It's like he baited him.

13:31He did.

13:32He's baiting them 1,000%.

13:33Okay.

13:34But.

13:35But.

13:35Here.

13:37In the words.

13:39Of the deli man.

13:40You ain't that guy.

13:41Right.

13:42You ain't that team.

13:43I mean.

13:43We don't think.

13:44You ain't.

13:44You ain't that team to be talking about.

13:46The far most.

13:47Experts in physicality.

13:48We.

13:49When we think of physicality.

13:50We don't think of Jacksonville.

13:51I don't know, dude.

13:52I'll tell you one thing.

13:53I know.

13:54Do you.

13:54When you say.

13:55Who.

13:55That Jacksonville.

13:56They are physical.

13:58No.

13:59But I do worry about what those wide receivers.

14:01Are going to do to the secondary.

14:02Because they got some talented wide receivers.

14:04They got talented wide receivers.

14:07Um.

14:08That.

14:09Well.

14:09Look.

14:10But that's not being physical.

14:11That's one on one.

14:12No.

14:12I know.

14:13I know.

14:13I'm just saying.

14:14You see what I'm saying.

14:15I'm saying.
