00:22launch your future today the Dolphins launch in their future coming up on Sunday a big thing that was
00:29pointed out this week Leroy was the Dolphins were pumping in crowd noise which reporters boots on the ground said
00:38that was not used in the McDaniel era here was Jeff Halfley discussing why he did it I think you
00:44need to try to simulate the environment that you're going to play in right so in certain situations whether special
00:50teams whether the offense is up and it's say it's third down for example it's going to be loud on
00:55third down so we can't just go in there and have it quiet we need to make it
00:59hard for them to hear the call for them to get up to the line and try to change protection
01:03do we need to go on silent count are they going to be able to hear Malik and are they
01:07going to be able to communicate with each other we have three rookie receivers standing out there they might not
01:11even be able to hear each other so they got to learn how to communicate verbal and nonverbal and talk
01:15to each other so we're just trying to get them ready for the chaos that exists exists in certain situations
01:20so sometimes you do it with crowd noise you know some guys ask if we just turn the music up
01:24so loud where they can't hear so I'm indifferent as long as they can't hear I'm good with it but
01:29I want to train
01:29in the situation that is going to make game day easier by the way it's a standard like it's not
01:37a unique thing you I'm not saying it's unique it just it wasn't it wasn't something McDaniel did and part
01:43of part of the reason why you do it is because just from this simple aspect of it you need
01:51to know when you need to go to hand signals or silent counts
01:57if you never know when and you never know when and you never know when and you have to determine
02:01that in the 40 seconds that you have to call a play get everybody to the line of scrimmage and
02:08make your checks
02:10then that's a bit you're not prepared
02:13what's the loudest day you've been in
02:15or loudest game
02:18for the college or pro
02:22there's a lot of places that are just loud
02:25Seattle
02:27you know when they were in the Kingdome
02:29keep in mind it used to be indoors
02:30yeah I remember Kingdome
02:33if you go somewhere like in your division
02:37so like anytime we went to New York
02:40whether you play the Giants or Jets it's pretty loud
02:42what about Pittsburgh was Pittsburgh loud
02:43Pittsburgh was loud
02:45Cincinnati
02:47there's stupid towels
02:51there's
02:51let's see
02:54Green Bay
02:55like yeah
02:56Kansas City
02:58very loud
02:59but you go out to LA
03:01not so much
03:02what was the loudest game you've been at Brittany
03:05the loudest game I've been to was probably 2017 Notre Dame
03:09oh the pick six
03:11yeah
03:12Trajan Bandy
03:13my like my hearing went out
03:14like my ears
03:15just went silent
03:16it was so loud
03:17put it put it this way
03:19they would also
03:21give us earplugs
03:25mold kind or
03:26styrofoam kind
03:27just the little styrofoams
03:28like plain earplugs
03:29so we would get
03:31we would go
03:32like during games
03:33we would have earplugs
03:35it didn't
03:36like one way or another
03:37it didn't block
03:38if it was loud
03:39it was loud
03:40but the whole point of it is
03:42is that
03:44if you can't make
03:46your checks
03:48if it's loud
03:49if you can't run your normal offense
03:51when it's loud
03:52then they win
03:54and so
03:55what you have to do
03:56is come up with a plan
03:58whether it's
03:59and usually when it gets really loud
04:01the defense moves around
04:02and you need to check all that
04:05and whatever
04:06so
04:07I know in college
04:08they don't do it as much
04:09in NFL
04:10in college
04:11do you ever see the quarterback
04:12running
04:12up and down the line
04:14of scrimmage yelling
04:15right
04:17and then signals
04:19signals
04:19everything means
04:20you know
04:22you know
04:22they have
04:23they were saying that on
04:26even without the noise
04:27but they were saying that on Monday
04:28because Rhett Lashley
04:29just does signals
04:30like they
04:30because they weren't
04:31remember they say
04:32oh we don't have communication
04:33they don't even do it anyway
04:34because they just look at the sideline
04:35right
04:36you know
04:36right
04:37so that
04:38that's part of the reason why
04:39you do that
04:41like
04:42so
04:43from that standpoint
04:46most offenses
04:48are
04:49you know
04:51privy to it
04:52I tell you
04:54some offenses have built in
04:56checks
04:58right
04:58so
05:00if your quarterback
05:01and your receivers
05:01are on the same
05:03you know
05:03on the same page
05:06then you know
05:07that certain routes
05:08that you run
05:09are converted
05:10to different routes
05:10so you don't need to like
05:12confirm it with them
05:13you know
05:13I wonder if FSU
05:14will go to
05:15sensatory deprivation
05:16and that'll become a new thing
05:17where they just practice
05:18in the dark
05:21well they can't play
05:22no worse
05:23maybe they have a chance
05:24to win
05:24nobody can see
05:25that the other team scored on you
05:29so
05:30it's a
05:31it's a standard
05:32thing
05:34you have a dumbest thing
05:35your coach has done to prepare
05:36other than
05:37you know
05:37of course going to Australia
05:3824 hours
05:39beforehand
05:40I
05:40I got one better
05:43so
05:43we have been
05:45we've been practicing
05:46for this certain situation
05:48in a game
05:49and Bill Belichick
05:50was
05:52annoyed
05:53in practice
05:54that we couldn't
05:55get it
05:56we stayed after practice
05:57we did everything
05:58this has to check
06:00to this
06:01this is what I want
06:02finally we get it done
06:04right
06:05he's on Friday
06:06he's like
06:07you guys really worked
06:08through this
06:08we got it done
06:09we're in a good place
06:11when this situation
06:12presents itself
06:14the situation
06:15presents itself
06:16during the game
06:16but it's not
06:18the way he had it
06:19planned out
06:20because guess what
06:21they adjusted
06:22to something
06:23and did something
06:24crazy
06:25so then he comes
06:27to the sideline
06:28and says
06:28guys
06:29remember how we did it
06:31two weeks ago
06:32let's just go to that
06:35and so
06:35somebody mumbled
06:38all that practice
06:39and we just
06:40winging it
06:43and so
06:44like
06:45it's
06:46it's
06:47as the season
06:49goes on
06:50you're able
06:51to reach back
06:53and go back
06:53to situations
06:54that
06:55you were faced
06:56with
06:56earlier in the season
06:58so that
06:59you have your base
07:01plays
07:01but how you run
07:02them
07:02how you protect
07:04them
07:04how you block
07:05in those situations
07:06changes according
07:07to what the defense
07:08does
07:08so you're still
07:10running your same
07:10plays
07:11but sometimes
07:11there's a jailbreak
07:12right
07:14it's kind of like
07:15if you got a screen
07:16pass to the overloaded
07:17side
07:17you want to get
07:18out of that
07:19but if you never
07:20thought they were
07:21going to do it
07:21the first time
07:22you run that play
07:23you might get
07:24you know
07:25get handled
07:26so you got to be
07:27able to just
07:28like adjust
07:29on the fly
07:31to create
07:32either protection
07:34run it
07:35the other way
07:36just a whole
07:37bunch of checks
07:38that it almost
07:39seems like
07:40sometimes during
07:41games
07:42all that work
07:43you did
07:44and got yelled
07:44at for not
07:45preparing right
07:45during the week
07:46don't even matter
07:47when you get
07:47to the game
