As the pads come on during Dolphins current practice, we analyze Jeff Hafley's excited responses as he emphasizes physical practice! Leroy finds himself talking about Aaron Rodgers and organizations around the league.
Transcript
00:00The Dolphins, they're out on the practice field right now.
00:03They have the pads on.
00:05Eyes are on the pads, so all that.
00:09This was Jeff Halfley yesterday discussing why he likes the pads being on.
00:16Yeah, I think the game changes when pads come on.
00:19I think it's easier to run the ball when the pads come on.
00:23I think offensive linemen can get their hands underneath shoulder pads.
00:27I think they can kind of hold in certain places that aren't going to get called.
00:30I think they can move people better.
00:32I think DBs can reroute wide receivers better because there's more surface air
00:35to get your hands on wide receivers.
00:37And I think certain positions, it becomes way more real.
00:42Like, let's be honest, it becomes more real.
00:45It allows us to practice in different tempos.
00:48We can go thud, where you guys will see a lot of the NFL, thud somebody up,
00:52wrap them up, and then kind of let them go.
00:54So, I do think you need to have that physicality and you need to callous your body,
00:59whether it's your shoulders or whether it's your hands
01:02or whether it's, you know, a lot of your body getting used to that physical contact,
01:06which is really hard.
01:08And then it's going to allow us to go live and play real football
01:12and see who can tackle, who can break tackles.
01:16Poof.
01:18Oh, sounds like something I've been saying for the last many years to you.
01:22Is that always your, like, is that always, like, shouldn't you be happy about that?
01:25Like, why are you aggravated by that?
01:27No, I'm happy by it.
01:27I'm not aggravated by it.
01:29I'm happy by it because how are you going to learn how to get your body ready for football
01:33if you don't play football?
01:34I thought you would like Jeff Halfley there.
01:36I do.
01:36Like, you're just upset that Jeff Halfley's stealing your ideas.
01:39I do, just like I was telling you about how I'm not a fan of 7-on-7 either.
01:44No, I've never heard anybody say 7-on-7.
01:46They hate 7-on-7 like that guy.
01:48I think the DBs do.
01:52They do it because you don't understand how many times they go,
01:55you ain't going to have six seconds to throw the ball, dude.
01:59So.
02:00They'll do this.
02:01They'll still, you know, but DBs will do the finger wag even if a ball had no shot of getting
02:05caught.
02:05Yeah, you know what?
02:07We need to stop that.
02:10Like, you can't celebrate.
02:12You can't celebrate and do the no-no in the hands when the ball couldn't have been caught.
02:17It wasn't because of your defensive prowess.
02:20Yeah, right.
02:21What do you think you're doing?
02:23You're not surprising anybody.
02:25Yep, fins up, say how many more months until you can swing?
02:28Three and a half months.
02:30Man.
02:31Long time.
02:32That's a long time, dude.
02:34Yep.
02:34That's a long, that's a long time.
02:36He's done two next year.
02:37The swelling went down.
02:38I can see the veins in my hand.
02:41So, at least the swelling is going down.
02:44So, that's, that's a good thing.
02:47FBG Flax says, we're going to spank the Raiders week one.
02:50Watch.
02:51Well, I think they will.
02:52I mean, they already beat Kirk Cousins last year.
02:53And I saw some video of Kirk Cousins this week.
02:55And man, he looks terrible.
02:57He looks 100 years old.
02:59How old is he?
03:01A hundred.
03:02Too old.
03:03They should be starting the kid.
03:04So is Aaron Rodgers.
03:06Aaron Rodgers is older than Kirk Cousins.
03:09Yeah, but he's not, I mean, Kirk Cousins is not a better quarterback than Aaron Rodgers.
03:12No, I'm not.
03:13But, but, but here.
03:16I get tired of telling you this.
03:18How good you were has nothing to do with how good you're going to be when you get old.
03:25It doesn't.
03:27And I'm saying, you could take somebody who's younger than Aaron Rodgers and say, look at how old he looks.
03:35I've been saying that with Aaron Rodgers and it's, you don't like Aaron Rodgers.
03:40Aaron Rodgers was great.
03:41Was.
03:44I don't really know what one thing has to do with the other, to be honest with you.
03:46I mean, they're not playing Aaron Rodgers.
03:48They're playing, they're playing at least set up right now to play Kirk Cousins.
03:52And I don't know.
03:53Aaron Rodgers is going to play?
03:54What are you talking about?
03:55He's going to start.
03:55The Dolphins aren't playing Aaron Rodgers week one, dude.
03:57No, okay.
03:58I got you.
03:58So it has to do with, I see what you're saying.
04:00Week one.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Listen.
04:03Raiders going Raider.
04:05Until they show me otherwise.
04:07Like there's certain franchises that.
04:11Like.
04:12No matter what players they have on the field.
04:14Still, no matter who they acquire, no matter who they draft, I'm still going to be cautious.
04:20And I can say that about the Browns.
04:23No matter what great players the Browns have, they still get it wrong.
04:27Now they've gotten it better than the Dolphins.
04:31But still.
04:32Like when you say Dolphins.
04:34I saw.
04:36If I say Dolphins, Browns, who would I say, who would you say has the most dysfunction?
04:44I think it's Browns by the skin of their teeth.
04:47But yes, they've had more success in the playoffs than the Dolphins had twofold.
04:53Have they won a game?
04:54Yeah.
04:54When's the last time they won a game?
04:56Three years ago.
04:57Pittsburgh, right?
04:57Pittsburgh.
04:58Pittsburgh.
04:59Like three or four years ago.
05:00It was Baker Mayfield?
05:01It was Baker.
05:02Yeah.
05:02Yeah.
05:02And then what do they do with Baker Mayfield?
05:05Again.
05:06That almost makes you more dysfunctional.
05:07Again.
05:09Again.
05:10The dysfunction is real.
05:13I live with it.
05:15Right?
05:16I'm not even disputing that.
05:19But.
05:19When you think of the Browns and you think of the Dolphins, you would always say the Browns
05:23are more dysfunctional, yet they've had more success than the Dolphins in recent years.
05:29I say that to say, until I see the Raiders do it, they're the most dysfunctional.
05:34Because no matter who they have, they just find a way to screw it up.
05:38They've been to a Super Bowl more recently.
05:41What, 2001?
05:43Yeah.
05:44Oh, okay.
05:45But.
05:46If we're playing that game.
05:48Oh, okay.
05:50Dude, you would definitely say the Raiders are more dysfunctional than the Dolphins.
05:57It's close.
05:59Dolphins are pretty.
06:01I think the Dolphins just keep strolling Zonk out there and then we forget about the dysfunction.
06:07But it's been pretty rough.
06:09It's been pretty dysfunctional.
06:11That's why everybody's so excited about this feeling normal.
06:13Like, because in past Dolphins years, we still have Chris Greer here with Jeff Halfley.
06:18Right.
06:19You know?
06:19Or we have Mike McDaniel here with John Eric Sullivan.
06:21Like, that's how it would have worked in past years.
06:24So, the fact that they're going full clean slate is.
06:27Ooh, somebody threw the Jets in the mix.
06:30Jets are definitely in the mix.
06:32Jets, Raiders, Browns.
06:34Definitely in the mix.
06:35That's right.
06:35They're all dysfunctional cousins and saying who's the biggest loser at the barbecue.
06:40And the Jets have had more success than any of the other two.
06:43Yeah.
06:43But they're also on the longest playoff slump right now out of anybody.
06:48Right.
06:48They haven't been to playoff in years.
06:49That's rough.
06:51Yeah.
06:51No, they're all.
06:52Nobody has a great hand at this.
06:55At this function.
06:56I saw.
06:58Man, maybe I should make sure I didn't get got.
07:00Because sometimes this has become a late trend where people just make up quotes.
07:04But did Sean Watson really say he's open to a new contract?
07:07Or was that a fake quote that I saw this weekend?
07:11They owe him money.
07:12I mean, they had to borrow money from him.
07:14They already redid his contract.
07:18I saw that he's got like seven interceptions already in camp.
07:22Here we go.
07:25Like, what are we doing?
07:26That's how you look when you haven't played football in three years.
07:29But that's the thing is I just keep wondering where it's like, yeah,
07:32he has six interceptions and four practices.
07:37Been a while.
07:39Yeah.
07:40That's kind of part of the problem.
07:42Again, I would be.
07:44And this is how I feel.
07:49I would be more nervous if a quarterback didn't throw any interceptions in camp.
07:57And always played safe.
08:00Instead of testing what he can and can't do.
08:04That's what camp is for.
08:05Like, understood.
08:07But like, isn't it a little when it's him not being able to see what he can do for years?
08:13Well, that's probably why he's got so many because he got it.
08:17He's coming back and going, oh, I used to be able to make that throw.
08:20I can't make that throw no more.
08:22Right.
08:25Unbelievable.
08:28But, uh, yeah, I don't know, man, if you were to go full to, I think right now, I think
08:32they lead it just because Deshaun Watson is starting for them.
08:35And it's been such a disaster.
