We're going to talk to Pharaoh Brown and k J. Britt.

You want to talk about attitude, tenacity, and toughness coming to your Miami Dolphins, look no further than those two acquisitions. Plus we have some analysis on new linebacker Willie Gay, new cornerback Already Burns. I am so fired up for what Willy Gay brings to this defense. I'm also going to talk about just a couple of random things off the top of the show. Here from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

So we haven't really covered a lot of news on the show lately because we've been so bogged down, not bogged down, just innundated with free agent interviews and analysis, which is right up your boys, alley. So I'm not complaining by any stretch, but I just want to give you guys a couple of updates. So Benito Jones is back, the Dolphins nose tackle from a year ago that kind of thirty forty percent snaptaker on the interior, who has always been a good block eater on the inside, but flashed his best pass rush season as a pro last year, especially in the second half of the year when things kind of clicked for the defense. We've talked a lot about this defensive line requiring one Zach Seeler. Hopefully you get Kalaias Campbell back. I think there's mutual interest there still among the Dolphins and Kalais and then you kind of round it out with a whole bunch of guys that can play various roles and be twenty thirty, forty percent snaptakers two hundred, three hundred, four hundred snaps. And that was the vision last year with the glut of signings like Neville Gallimore, Jonathan Harris, who else am I missing up front? They had a tr Tart was also released before the season, and it didn't work.

Out for those guys.

Out for those guys.

But that's kind of the area you're shopping in right now. I think you do need one more true guy upfront, whether it's Kalaeis Campbell, whether it's a high draft pick. I tend to think that Kenneth Grant is in play at pick thirteen to be that guy, and he can give you nose tackle reps as well. I think Alfred Collins at pick forty eight would be an instant starter in this defense as well. And then you've got a bunch of guys after that. Jamari Caldwell, Derek Harmon is probably a first round pick.

CJ. West.

CJ. West.

You've got so many guys that can fill out that potential position or those particular roles in this year's draft class. And so I wanted to talk about that and how the Dolphins free agency will get more in depth on this on a future episode, but how it's kind of rounding into form what the draft might look like, because right now you need bodies at defensive tackle, and of course that can change over the course of the next month. You need probably a left guard, right I mean, I think James Daniels probably slots in a right guard.

I think Larry Borham gets a crack at left guard.

I think Larry Borham gets a crack at left guard.

But I think ideally you got a Will Hernandez or maybe a Brandon Sheriff. Maybe it's a second round, third round draft pick of Miles Frasier, a Jackson Slater, somebody like that to come in and start at the left guard position and bump everybody back one spot. Liam back once spot, Larry borehim back one spot. Hopefully Isaiah Win gets brought in and he can go back one slot to that sixth INTI your offensive line. So I think the draft is taking shape in that way. I also saw that Chavon Revel is Savon Revel. Sorry, the h is silent. The Eastern East Carolina cornerback is up to twenty one miles per hour running on treadmills, which I knew he was going to be a four to three guy, And I keep thinking about his versatility, his length, his physicality as a six foot three cornerback with like thirty four inch arms and four to three speed and a really good tackle reel as a potential option at pick forty eight. So I think that you're looking at him like a Jacob Parish from Kansas State to fill out that second cornerback position. Maybe it is in the first round with Will Johnson. Maybe it is Jade barn from Texas, who I think is going to be gone by pick thirteen, but man, what a fit he would be.

I think that's kind of what you're looking at here.

I think that's kind of what you're looking at here.

Cornerback defensive tackle, and then I think an outside possibility of O line and Round one, but probably more so on Day two.

Cornerback defensive tackle, and then I think an outside possibility of O line and Round one, but probably more so on Day two.

I think we'll see what happens.

I think we'll see what happens.

You know, free agency's not done yet, but I think probably O line sometime on Day two. I think Tyler Warren is still in that mix. Obviously Mason Taylor at pick forty eight for that position as well. But I think you're kind of getting a vision here of what this might look like come Draft night for the Miami Dolphins. One last thing on the draft, and I have an Austin Jackson update for you guys. It feels like folks are finally catching up on cam Ward and thank god, because I don't know what the consternation has been about, like people saying there's not a first round quarterback in this class. You'll find out, you guys, will find out. He's going to be an elite quarterback in this league. I just hope he goes to the NFC. I think he'll be the Titans, but we'll see where he winds up. He's going to be an elite quarterback. The Dolphins new is Austin Jackson agreed to a contract restructure, I should say, And all they did was ad void years on the back of the contract, which basically pushes out ten million dollars in cap space over the course of void years on the back end, which I think makes him a possible extension candidate next year should he play the entire season and continue the progression that I think he will because Austin just keeps getting better.

He's a very smart, analytical player.

He's a very smart, analytical player.

I think that bodes well for his future because he's only twenty five years old.

Think they'll just keep getting better.

So Dolphins finding some space that way, locking themselves I think further into Austin Jackson, which is a good move.

Out South Florida environment. It's not too bad, is it.

Out South Florida environment. It's not too bad, is it.

So I want to start with something that I saw actually on your Instagram page. I didn't know that you actually got nominated for it. You didn't win the Angry Run Award, but you probably should have. Right that angry run you had last year against the Cardinals. Did they tell you were going to be nominated for the Angry Runs Award or how does that work?

So I want to start with something that I saw actually on your Instagram page. I didn't know that you actually got nominated for it. You didn't win the Angry Run Award, but you probably should have. Right that angry run you had last year against the Cardinals. Did they tell you were going to be nominated for the Angry Runs Award or how does that work?

I never noticed until somebody in the build has say something to me about it. And then it was like, have you seen the Kyle Brandon is super animated like and it's talking in this thing. It was like, so I went in Washington. I was like, I end up watching I seen him like describing me, and then I like went in Washington. It was a it's a pretty uh, it's a great little take that he does.

It was like, so I went in Washington. I was like, I end up watching I seen him like describing me, and then I like went in Washington. It was a it's a pretty uh, it's a great little take that he does.

Yeah, it's a good segment.

Yeah, it's a good segment.

The reason I wanted to start with it was because watching your game, like it's all about toughness and physicality, and I just want to kind of ask you, like, what is that mindset or the way you play in the mindset that it brings. What does it bring to a football team when you can go out there and kind of assert your will for sixteen minutes on a guy like that.

The reason I wanted to start with it was because watching your game, like it's all about toughness and physicality, and I just want to kind of ask you, like, what is that mindset or the way you play in the mindset that it brings. What does it bring to a football team when you can go out there and kind of assert your will for sixteen minutes on a guy like that.

I think it's just for me. Everybody fees off of that. So when you see when you're making big plays or when anybody see somebody getting ran over, just getting dominated, you know, it just brings the juice. And you know, for me, the game is all about juice, having juice, and the team with the most juice wins at the end of the day. So those sparks, you know, it is kind of like a snowball effect when you see the moment, like it's just a momentum, right, people getting juiced up, you making it plays, and the momentum bills and you know then you just becoming this unstoppable before. So, uh, whenever I can get a little ten yard run and juice up the team, it's always great.

I think it's just for me. Everybody fees off of that. So when you see when you're making big plays or when anybody see somebody getting ran over, just getting dominated, you know, it just brings the juice.

Have you met Coach Embria, our tight ends coach.

Have you met Coach Embria, our tight ends coach.

I haven't met Coach Embri. Today's first time. It was great. He's Uh, you can tell that he loves football. He loves Uh he was a tight end and uh, he loves the game. And that's all you can ask for. The reason got great, great, great, great energy.

I haven't met Coach Embri. Today's first time. It was great. He's Uh, you can tell that he loves football. He loves Uh he was a tight end and uh, he loves the game. And that's all you can ask for. The reason got great, great, great, great energy.

Yeah, that's why I asked, because like I think John who had like a long catch and run against the Rams last year, and when you're watching the film, like if you pan out, you can see him on the sidelines like just going crazy, and so I'm thinking, like, you match his style. I imagine there was some of that conversation when you guys met about how your play style and matches what he likes in a player.

Yeah, that's why I asked, because like I think John who had like a long catch and run against the Rams last year, and when you're watching the film, like if you pan out, you can see him on the sidelines like just going crazy, and so I'm thinking, like, you match his style. I imagine there was some of that conversation when you guys met about how your play style and matches what he likes in a player.

Yeah. I think the uh, the fire is a little low right now because we're not out there on Sundays yet, so it's like a building up. You know, we all kind of like tang right now. But you can tell that he loved a game and uh, that he has great energy. And I think that you know, the room would be able to relate, I would be able to fit in and relate to that.

Yeah. I think the uh, the fire is a little low right now because we're not out there on Sundays yet, so it's like a building up. You know, we all kind of like tang right now. But you can tell that he loved a game and uh, that he has great energy. And I think that you know, the room would be able to relate, I would be able to fit in and relate to that.

I think he might have had a bad round on the golf course last week and maybe that's why he wasn't so far up for you, right. No, he's a big golfer. So no, But going back to your tape, did you play tackle at any point.

I think he might have had a bad round on the golf course last week and maybe that's why he wasn't so far up for you, right. No, he's a big golfer. So no, But going back to your tape, did you play tackle at any point.

In your life?

In your life?

Tackle defensive tackle line at all? Never?

Tackle defensive tackle line at all? Never?

Because again again the pass rush reel, the pass protection reel. Like again I'm talking Jalen Phillips, Hassan Reddick, I think Aziz a Lari, some of the best pass rushers in the game.

You get called upon to block them one on one. Am I right in assessment?

You get called upon to block them one on one. Am I right in assessment?

Like you've gotten assignment plenty of times and you win those assignments. I'm curious, like where does that come from? Because most tight ends are chipping or helping and releasing, like, but you're getting those guys one on one.

Like you've gotten assignment plenty of times and you win those assignments. I'm curious, like where does that come from? Because most tight ends are chipping or helping and releasing, like, but you're getting those guys one on one.

Uh, it just come from a lot of prey. And honestly, you're on the island with these premier guys and we don't get a lot of time as a tight end where I've been like actually pass rushing and collecting that. So, honestly, Bill Belichick and my coach O'Brien and Will Lana is like, just play basketball. So I was a hooper, So when I'm out there, it's a little bit of praying and it's just like all right, I'm just about to hoop and you know, stay in front of him. Man, That's kind of what I do. But by no means that my an expert at it. I just play basketball. And that's something that you just mentioned. Coach. Every day we talked about like, you know, just working. My goal this year is to be the best white tight end in the league, highest rated block and tight end, highest rated past block and tight end. If I catch zero balls, I'll be happy.

Uh, it just come from a lot of prey. And honestly, you're on the island with these premier guys and we don't get a lot of time as a tight end where I've been like actually pass rushing and collecting that.

My goal this year is to be the best white tight end in the league, highest rated block and tight end, highest rated past block and tight end. If I catch zero balls, I'll be happy.

Well, that's what I'm saying, is like the praying is working because the tape is really good. Man, like the Seahawks the Patriots tape. You're out there moving the line of scrimmage. You're catching guys, you know, combination blocks, like it's so much fun to watch for someone that likes the actual blocking aspect of the game. But it sounds like you've already had that conversation about being a really dominant force off the edge. How do you think that can impact a team that runs as much outside zone and relies upon the tight ends the running game as much as the Dolphins do.

Well, that's what I'm saying, is like the praying is working because the tape is really good. Man, like the Seahawks the Patriots tape. You're out there moving the line of scrimmage.

How do you think that can impact a team that runs as much outside zone and relies upon the tight ends the running game as much as the Dolphins do.

I think it's great. I mean outside zone is perfect for me. I've been in a lot of situa words more downhill and requires more physicality. I feel that in my experience outside zone is less physical and more technique. But I mean I bring physicality to all my blocks, and I mean I'm just excited to be here. I don't really I play football, man, Like the scheme, it doesn't really matter to me. If it's football, I know that I can get in there and make it happen.

Just go beat somebody up on one, right, that ust to take care of itself.

Let's just make the game simple. Wish me.

Let's just make the game simple. Wish me.

Speaking of you, know your career so far, You've been around the block a little bit, been for a few teams, been in the league for a while. Now, what do you think all that experience and different teams and environments and schemes and organizations. What can that help you bring the Dolphins in terms of your leadership and just your overall experience as a player.

Now, what do you think all that experience and different teams and environments and schemes and organizations. What can that help you bring the Dolphins in terms of your leadership and just your overall experience as a player.

Uh man, just that right there, experience seeing different a lot of different things, being able to relate to a lot of people. We all come from different situations. I mean, just helping the resiliency. I mean, that's kind of what it's made for me. It's not necessarily something that is like, oh, this is what you bring as far as like in the locker room. But you know, if you see somebody that's down and you can relate to them and you can share a story with them right to help them, you know, whether it be going through something at home, going through something with their wife, kids, you know, whatever it is, it's like, okay, I can I can relate and I can offer some words of a courage. Man, there's some affirmations and you know, to pick them up. So I mean, I'm not necessary. I'm I feel like everybody is leaders, right and whenever I can help, I just help where I can. I don't. I don't come into somewhere and like, oh I got a lead and I'm the guy that leader. It's like, nah, I'm you know, just helping. Just helping other people is kind of like my big thing and what.

If you can Pharrel Brown Foundation is just me me giving back and really just doing stuff on my heart helping kids. A lot of stuff is helping single mothers, helping kids that come from unfortunate situations and trying to have mentorship programs and different things and just offering a spark into their lives and just helping. So we like to put on different camps. We like to do stuff during the season. Last year, raise money and just getting kids and help out kids that's less fortunate, partnering with you know, I've done it all from women, victims of women trafficking and kids and hospitals and out of age Fosterton Care. You know, I think that really what people need is to be motivated. People need to help, people need to feel like somebody cares. So that's just my biggest That's just my biggest thing is getting out and I love to see like I don't even want to say my age, but you know, I've been out and seeing like some of these kids. Yeah, some of these kids, you know, something that you help when they were younger and they playing college football now and they are you know, dreams is coming true. They're in the NFL now. Like I remember I want to talk to these kids in high school, right and not in the league. So it's like and they remember that moment, you know what I mean. So where I was from, I didn't have a lot of people come talk to me. So I always wanted to be at the change that for the next kid because I think it could have helped me not bump my head a couple of times.

You know, I think that really what people need is to be motivated. People need to help, people need to feel like somebody cares. So that's just my biggest That's just my biggest thing is getting out and I love to see like I don't even want to say my age, but you know, I've been out and seeing like some of these kids. Yeah, some of these kids, you know, something that you help when they were younger and they playing college football now and they are you know, dreams is coming true. They're in the NFL now. Like I remember I want to talk to these kids in high school, right and not in the league. So it's like and they remember that moment, you know what I mean. So where I was from, I didn't have a lot of people come talk to me. So I always wanted to be at the change that for the next kid because I think it could have helped me not bump my head a couple of times.

I always ask folks this because I'm kind of new to the to the Florida area, Florida in general, what's the biggest difference between Central Florida and South Florida.

So she just her helement like father, like daughter right there. That's great stuff. So you come down from Tampa. Obviously, what's the biggest difference. I always ask folks this because I'm kind of new to the to the Florida area, Florida in general, what's the biggest difference between Central Florida and South Florida.

I can't really answer it because I ain't been in too a south or too long, but I just know Central for it, you know, it gets a stayed humid, you know, year round humidity is you know, that's that what drives the heat in Temple because I guess being on the Bay, it's consistently it's always hot, you know, on days you know, like man, dang, it's but it stays hot. So you know, I'm used to it, and now I've been there. I was there for four years, you know, God bless me to be there for four years, so just I can't wait to see what the what the weather is down here.

It's I can tell you that right now, it's just as hot, if not hotter. We had that joint practice last year and that was one of the hottest days of all of the camp. I thought we were up there. What do you remember from playing against the Dolphins, because I think I think we played against you guys twice in joint practices in the preseason.

It's I can tell you that right now, it's just as hot, if not hotter. We had that joint practice last year and that was one of the hottest days of all of the camp. I thought we were up there.

What do you remember from the Dolphins From those two.

What do you remember from the Dolphins From those two.

Joint I remember the offense had a lot of Min's direction. Gotta be good with your eyes. You know, it was fun. You know, it was real competitive out there, you know, both both practices, but we had you know, we got better and it was good fun, you know, to go against guys and compete. And then now I'm signing here. You know, it's surreal. So it's it's a blessing. So I'm just glad that you know, the Dolphins they see me practice and you know, see me play, So it's just all, you know, I'm happy, yea.

You happy to be here.

You mentioned the misdirection of the offense and kind of like your eye discipline. Right when I watch you on tape, man like, you don't take any false steps. You're always reading your keys the right way. It's it's fun to watch a player that really seems to excel in the preparation aspect of the game. Is that kind of where you you kind of make your bread, as it were, in the preparation.

It seems like that's kind of a big part of her.

It seems like that's kind of a big part of her.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, if I could figure out what's going on before the play, you know, it really helps if somebody's back deep, how they are aligned off the line of scrimmage, you know, especially if everything's fastest way and I see one guy go back this way, I know that you know how to play patient, be fast. They closer on the line of scrimmage tight ends a little closer. I know that there's probably gonna stay that way. So it just I disciplined, just and then just being in the game for a while, you know, Like I said, playing with some great linebackers at Tampa, we all shared knowledge with each other, and it all it all helps, and it all helps each other, correlates, you know, with everybody game. So just whatever, lookle Key, I can get I know, Mike Singletary said, every place somebody's talking to you just got to figure out who it is.

So there was a rep in the week one game against the Commanders when they put Jayden Daniels as like the offset back and they faked a toss to him and you were like, nope, I got my key from the guard pulling backside and you were all over it. So like, that's that part of your game is really fun to watch for me.

So there was a rep in the week one game against the Commanders when they put Jayden Daniels as like the offset back and they faked a toss to him and you were like, nope, I got my key from the guard pulling backside and you were all over it. So like, that's that part of your game is really fun to watch for me.

Yeah, It's it's always something u And you know, guards and fullbacks or tight ends, they always you know, they always give it away.

Yeah, It's it's always something u And you know, guards and fullbacks or tight ends, they always you know, they always give it away.

The information is there somewhere to be found. So speaking of that, you played alongside Lavonte David for four years there in Tampa and you guys have both shared some some kind words about each other. What was that experience like and how much you he read off on you?

The information is there somewhere to be found. So speaking of that, you played alongside Lavonte David for four years there in Tampa and you guys have both shared some some kind words about each other. What was that experience like and how much you he read off on you?

He was great. You know, he really showed every day you know, how to play, you know, different different stuff. You know in this league, you know you're not always one hundred miles per hour some some some players, or you gotta play a little slower some players. You got to be a little bit more patient. So, uh, he really showed how to play for me. You know, because I always thought it was you got to be one hundred miles fours fast as fast and uh, he showed how to play. You know, he helped me with patients in my game and because that's that's how he is, that's how he like a lot of plays, He's patient, he trusts his ability and then we just play well.

He was great. You know, he really showed every day you know, how to play, you know, different different stuff.

It sounds like you really kind of built your career to be what it is through hard work. And for a player that was drafted on Day three, you go through you're a special teamer right away. You get the starting opportunity last year and kind of take that and run with it. Now who you are in Miami with a chance to you know, go even further. That's like my favorite career path for a guy, someone that grinds their way up the depth chart like that. What did you learn from that experience and what do you think it brings to the Dolphins here now in year five?

It sounds like you really kind of built your career to be what it is through hard work. And for a player that was drafted on Day three, you go through you're a special teamer right away.

What did you learn from that experience and what do you think it brings to the Dolphins here now in year five?

In my experience, you know, it's my story and you know, I'm grateful for it. And you know, I had four great years in Tempa and they molded me. And you know, being drafted and playing special team, he's all just football. I've been playing footballer since I was five. So I as long as I'm playing ball, as long as I'm around great guys in the great locker room. Man, this is what I'm what. That's what I'm used to. That's what I'm coming to. But I can't wait, you know it, just I can't. I'm already I can't wait to play.

I can tell because like again, watching your tape, like your love for the game jumps off the tape. That's pretty apparent that you love football.

I can tell because like again, watching your tape, like your love for the game jumps off the tape. That's pretty apparent that you love football.

Yeah. I do love football since I was a little kid. You know, my dad's here. You know, we've been watching football together. You know, we he been training me for to be a football player, like I said, ever since I was five, you know, and growing up I didn't play football every year. And I got a younger brother now who's on the same path.

Yeah. I do love football since I was a little kid. You know, my dad's here. You know, we've been watching football together.

Two ways, Okay, I gotcha. That's that's interesting.

Two ways, Okay, I gotcha. That's that's interesting.

Yeah, my high school was like twelve kids and you had to play both ways. Yeah, same deal. Have you had a chance to meet coach Jill Berry yet? Our linebackers coach here.

Yeah, my high school was like twelve kids and you had to play both ways. Yeah, same deal. Have you had a chance to meet coach Jill Berry yet? Our linebackers coach here.

I talked to him earlier on the phone, but I haven't been a man meet this yet.

I talked to him earlier on the phone, but I haven't been a man meet this yet.

I know I'm gonna meet him though. Yeah.

I know I'm gonna meet him though. Yeah.

He's a real salt of the Earth's a really great person. Looking forward to having you have a chance to meet him. So yeah, last thing I want to finish with you here was your football camp that you run every single year. It's in Oxford, Alabama? Right, Can you tell us about that?

He's a real salt of the Earth's a really great person. Looking forward to having you have a chance to meet him. So yeah, last thing I want to finish with you here was your football camp that you run every single year. It's in Oxford, Alabama? Right, Can you tell us about that?

Yeah? Uh, every year, you know, I try to make sure I have a camp, and last year we had we did it two different days because it was so many kids that come out. You know, everybody comes out from the area all over Alabama. So I just go out there, man, just try to put knowledge. If I can get to one one or two kids, you know, that's all that's all you can ask for because there's so many kids that come from so many different backgrounds, and you just never know how how much you know a presence or you just said, and helping helping somebody just being there with their presence and just playing, playing with them and getting to know them. And I look forward to it every year. It helps me because I know I was once that kid, you know that I wanted to you know, be around, you know, and play football with people who ho'dn't done it on all three levels, and so I just if I can give back, you know, each year, I'm gonna do it.

Yeah? Uh, every year, you know, I try to make sure I have a camp, and last year we had we did it two different days because it was so many kids that come out.

Yeah, they remember.

Yeah, they remember.

I remember when I was a kid, we had like a baseball player from the Seattle marriage come to our classroom. I'll never forget that. Like it's a big deal for the kids. So really cool stuff. New Dolphins linebacker kJ but appreciate your time to the man. That was really great.

Thank you. Let's go ahead and take one more break. Comeback on the other side.

Thank you. Let's go ahead and take one more break. Comeback on the other side.

We have two players to analyze here, new linebacker Willie Gay I am fired up for that one, and cornerback Already Burns, who's tape really jumped off the screen to me as well. We'll do that next year. Draft Time Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield brought to.

You by automation. I gotta tell you, I feel like I should.

You by automation. I gotta tell you, I feel like I should.

Probably overlay my Willie Gay analysis with some primetime music, because this dude is a freaking weapon. Second round pick in twenty twenty, number sixty eight overall out of Mississippi State. Spent four years with the Chiefs, last year with the Saints. He's six foot one, two hundred and forty five pounds. He's missed only two games the last three years, twelve games over a five year career. He's had some shoulder, hand, lower back issues, but it's never been anything more than a couple of weeks. Two hundred and sixty one career tackles, nineteen for a loss, ten quarterback hits, seven sacks, four picks, one for a touchdown, twenty two passes defense, three forced fumbles, six recoveries.

Dudes a playmaker.

Dudes a playmaker.

Seventy two games played, fifty five starts over twenty five hundred career snaps on defense. Only played two to seventy seven last year, which you know, second year in the NFL as a non starter his rookie season two. I'm not sure what the hell the Saints were doing because he had been a between six hundred and seven hundred snap guy otherwise, and that coincide with an uptick in special teams reps eighty six last year compared to just fifteen over the previous two seasons. He did play two hundred and thirty seven of them as a rookie. He had seventy seven and seventy one pass rush reps in twenty three and two twenty two with Kansas City and produced fourteen and twelve pressures a cumulative pressure rate of seventeen point six. Pretty good for that position. Not great in terms of the pressure rate, but the tape will tell a different story. His athletic testing, he might be the most athletic linebacker in the league. Thirty nine and a half inch verticals a ninety eighth percent tile jump. Eleven zero four broad is a ninety ninth percent tile jump. His four four six forty ninety nine percent tile. He was also in the ninety eighth percent tile in both twenty split and ten split, and you see it all over his tape. His shuttle and three cones were both in the seventieth percent tile and his weight is in the eightieth percent tile. So he's big explosive and faster than every linebacker in the world. Sound good, Cool, No contract info just yet, I'm not getting those aren't coming across the wire as fast as they did the first couple of days of free agency. So I'll update you guys on that when I have it and what it means. Let's go ahead and get to the verdict. It's going to be a very kind one for Willy game. And what I knew about Willy Gay Junior was that he's a supreme athlete who can immediately be one of your most effective blitzers with good enough chops to play in coverage, change of direction, and explosion jumps off the tape. I thought he was a little bit miscast in New Orleans, but when he was used as a sim pressure, a game runner, a stunts and twist with hook zone drops under Steve's bagnola with the Chiefs, he was a monster. And he beats blocks a lot like Jordan Brooks does, where he can win with quickness but doesn't usually get overpowered or walled off by the much bigger offensive lineman. I actually had to tweak that a little bit in my rewatch because I was kind of wrong about that assumption. More on that in a second. He plays with so much fire and intensity, comes off piles, slapping his head, runs back to the sideline to get celebrating with his coaches and his teammates after big plays, hyping guys up, and I think you can always use that on your football team. I think this team needed an injection of that in twenty twenty five. Again that four four six forty inch vertical eleven foot six broad jump at six foot one two forty five. Guy's a monster.

Now.

Now.

I also knew he was a bit of a gambler, and the.

I also knew he was a bit of a gambler, and the.

Big plays that he makes sometimes pair with some big plays allowed from miss assignments. I don't need to do the whole you know what. I knew what I wanted to know portion because I've studied this guy's game in depth. I did go back and take a look at his twenty twenty three work against the Buffalo Bills in particular, and a few Saints games because I wanted to see how that was different. And basically my takeaway was that the Saints tape you can throw it away because they didn't know what they were doing with him. This is right up there with James Daniels in terms of my most excited signings this offseason. Even the Saints tape was better than I anticipated, and that's with the knowledge they just miscast him as much as any player I've ever studied, Like, legitimately, this is the most athletic linebacker in football, and you've got him stacking the edge as an early down SAM linebacker, Like, bro, what what are we doing? I think the first thing fans will ask about for him is his ability as a spy, and if you get into his pressure reel, there's a handful of snaps where he's unblocked off the edge has a run at the quarterback. I saw one against Bryce Young, a very quick quarterback, and he can break down, change direction with explosion, and those guys can't get away from him. I think you can get more sacks and finishes as a true rusher, but you can also hide him behind the formation as a spy and just let him go hunt the quarterback run, especially with how damn good we are with JP and Chubb off the edge and their rush contained roles. Imagine you get Chubb and JP fanned out is three techniques where they condense inside to play off the guard and they fan their rush out to kind of set the edge to the quarterback and a cage contain. And then you move Chop Robinson as a nosebacker, and you bring Jordan Brooks and Willie Gay and walk them up in the A gaps and you've got two or three of the quickest rushers in the NFL matchup on guards and centers while you've closed off his escape patches with a cage rush technique. The options are getting exciting for Anthony Weaver and what he can do with all these pieces. The way you can walk him up in that A gap, run those games, run, those sim pressures him and Jordan Brooks, Chop Robinson, JP. I mean, you're putting so much stress on the offensive lines protection calls with speed to attack a team's worst pass protectors, right because the tackle is usually the better pass detects. And I just keep thinking about how the best quarterbacks beat us with play extension and how the rush contained with all this heat and athleticism inside is the best possible approach to stop them. We talked about it in the Playoff Recap podcast, like we have to find guys that can do this stuff, and Miami felt the same way. He's got that Parsons and Donald burst and wiggle like it's really rare. When you watch how he moves, you can get to your pick stunts. You can make the pass pro declare immediately their intentions. And this is before we mentioned Zach Seler having talked about the best player in the entire group as the cog that it all operates around. You bring back Kalaeis Campbell, you draft Kenneth Grant or Alfred Collins, like bro I don't know, man, this defense was pretty good last year with some not so great personnel after injuries, and now they're adding to it. The way he feels and goes in certain spaces, like there's this clip where he mugs up the A gap shows blitz backs into coverage, finds the backside crosser who's not even close to him, and then gets underneath him and sprints vertical into the passing lane. Then he sees a curl flat defender who's gonna pick him up and just vacates it. And that receiver gets picked up and goes straight downhill to the quarterback and sacks Baker Mayfield. He closes angles as fast as anybody I've seen in the.

Big plays that he makes sometimes pair with some big plays allowed from miss assignments. I don't need to do the whole you know what. I knew what I wanted to know portion because I've studied this guy's game in depth.

I think the first thing fans will ask about for him is his ability as a spy, and if you get into his pressure reel, there's a handful of snaps where he's unblocked off the edge has a run at the quarterback. I saw one against Bryce Young, a very quick quarterback, and he can break down, change direction with explosion, and those guys can't get away from him. I think you can get more sacks and finishes as a true rusher, but you can also hide him behind the formation as a spy and just let him go hunt the quarterback run, especially with how damn good we are with JP and Chubb off the edge and their rush contained roles. Imagine you get Chubb and JP fanned out is three techniques where they condense inside to play off the guard and they fan their rush out to kind of set the edge to the quarterback and a cage contain. And then you move Chop Robinson as a nosebacker, and you bring Jordan Brooks and Willie Gay and walk them up in the A gaps and you've got two or three of the quickest rushers in the NFL matchup on guards and centers while you've closed off his escape patches with a cage rush technique. The options are getting exciting for Anthony Weaver and what he can do with all these pieces. The way you can walk him up in that A gap, run those games, run, those sim pressures him and Jordan Brooks, Chop Robinson, JP. I mean, you're putting so much stress on the offensive lines protection calls with speed to attack a team's worst pass protectors, right because the tackle is usually the better pass detects. And I just keep thinking about how the best quarterbacks beat us with play extension and how the rush contained with all this heat and athleticism inside is the best possible approach to stop them. We talked about it in the Playoff Recap podcast, like we have to find guys that can do this stuff, and Miami felt the same way. He's got that Parsons and Donald burst and wiggle like it's really rare. When you watch how he moves, you can get to your pick stunts. You can make the pass pro declare immediately their intentions. And this is before we mentioned Zach Seler having talked about the best player in the entire group as the cog that it all operates around. You bring back Kalaeis Campbell, you draft Kenneth Grant or Alfred Collins, like bro I don't know, man, this defense was pretty good last year with some not so great personnel after injuries, and now they're adding to it. The way he feels and goes in certain spaces, like there's this clip where he mugs up the A gap shows blitz backs into coverage, finds the backside crosser who's not even close to him, and then gets underneath him and sprints vertical into the passing lane. Then he sees a curl flat defender who's gonna pick him up and just vacates it. And that receiver gets picked up and goes straight downhill to the quarterback and sacks Baker Mayfield. He closes angles as fast as anybody I've seen in the.

League, the whole league. He can run the arc.

League, the whole league. He can run the arc.

He can green dog blitz, where you call for a coverage rep on a running back or a tight end and a face stand protection you go rush the quarterback. He declares your protection, then explodes down the gap for a rush. He's outstanding as a spy. He can sink into the line of scrimmage and then open up and chase down pretty much any quarterback not name Lamar Jackson. He brings his feet through tackles and makes tone setting hits. He can squat on tight ends and backs and coverage. He is just everything a modern linebacker needs to be. We've got two of those guys. Now, now all this glazing. There's some deficiencies in the run game. He can get washed out by really good blocking tight ends, but that's really all I've got. I think you can scheme around that, especially with all the options you have between he and Dotson and britt And you have three totally different style players that can play alongside Jordan Brooks. And then I think his eyes can sometimes get out of place as well. Like man, if you gave me brit Processor and Gay's body, that would be pretty spectacular. But You can see the miss assignments from time to time, and I think at times that frustrated Steve Spagnolo so much. They went with Nick Bolton over him for an extension. But I think that was a mistake. I think that Willy Gay is a better player even with those faults. I think this is a very, very good and productive player. His recovery speed makes a lot of those reps.

Okay.

Okay.

I also went back and watched the twenty twenty three Bills game and here's a few plays that he made. He re routes Dalton King Kaid, extends his hook, drop, undercuts it and forces a throw away, claps his hands and then chirps Dalton King Kid loves seeing that. He spies Josh Allen beats him to the outside lane. Josh pulls up. He does too. Josh then throws it away because he knows he can't beat Willy Gay to the sideline. He did have two bad busts. He turned Dalvin Cook free on a wheel route for an explosive play and a little over ran a whip route from a tid end that went for like fifteen yards over the middle. You're not going to take that off His plate because it takes away from the overall value of this defense. But I think you can reduce those types of looks. He came back and plastered King Kid on a red zone rep that got off script. Those plays where Josh Allen always finds a way to pull a rabbit out of his ass and find a touchdown and he's stuck to him like glue. He then carries King Kate on a vertical seam twenty yards down the field, perfectly in phase.

I don't know about you, guys, I like it. My linebacker can cover.

I don't know about you, guys, I like it. My linebacker can cover.

My two hundred and forty five pound linebacker can run twenty yards down the field and cover. All Right, I've seen enough after this last Brett because he spies Josh Allen, Josh breaks the contain, he gets wide, gay beat into the spot, cuts him off.

Josh pulls up.

And shoots the jay, shoot it and throws a Room Service pick right to the dB. This dude is perfect for us where he helps insanely valuable piece to our rush package position flexibility to be an edge slash off ball combo guy that maximizes our ability to disguise where the rush is coming from. That sim rush package was a weapon last year, and it's already so much better with e fatumlafon Wu JPM beachub back in the fold, with Tyroll Dodson, with kJ Britt, with Willie Gay have mercy. Why was he available? The Saints just had no freaking idea how to use him. Watch his Chiefs tape. The guy was trending towards Pro Bowls. The flashes were still there with the Saints, but where they lost, they were lost in how to use him. And please don't tell me you want Darren Rizzy as a head coach ever again. Okay, guys, sound good, cool?

All right?

All right?

Classification he is a plus starter. Let's go ahead and pivot now to Arti Burns, cornerback. Ardy Burns his career resume first round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers back in twenty sixteen, twenty fifth overall that year. He spent the first four years of his career with those Steelers. Signed to the Chicago Bears in twenty twenty, but got injured in training camp that year and missed the entirety of the season. Was back in twenty twenty one, before departing to Seattle in twenty twenty two. Where he has spent the last three years of his career there. He's a six foot tall corner one hundred and ninety seven pounds, and watching the tape, I thought he looked bigger and longer than that, more imposing than that. So I looked, and sure enough, thirty three and a quarter inch arms. That's more than a full inch longer than the average at cornerback in twenty twenty five permockdraftable dot com. Thirty two inch arms is the average for a cornerback in the NFL. His injury history is extensive. He's missed six games in twenty nineteen, then he tore his ACL in camp of twenty twenty missed the entire season. He missed six games in twenty twenty one with a foot injury, and Covid injured a growing in camp with the Seahawks, where he was slated to start in twenty twenty two, but he missed the first three games and only played three games the entire year with various injuries. He re signed back to Seattle in twenty twenty three, where he played fourteen games, but then in twenty four he was both hurt as well as a healthy scratch to the tune of just four games played. You guys, get what we're getting at here, right, This is another player available because he has an extensive injury history. His statistical profile, he's appeared in ninety games, started thirty nine of those games, four picks, thirty eight passes, defense to one forced fumble, two recoveries, one hundred and ninety nine combined tackles, eight of those for loss. He was a full time starter for two full seasons and he's only been that one time since twenty seventeen, and he had a pretty productive year that season. He's been mostly a special teams piece of late. He's played almost a thousand snaps on special teams. Two years ago and he was healthy, he had about two hundred special team snaps. He's played almost three thousand total snaps on defense, but again, two thousand of those were in his first two years. So it's been a long time for Ardy Burns. If he's going to bounce back and make a have a great season, it would be kind of unprecedented, to be honest with you guys. The athletic testing profile four to four to six. That was a seventy seven percent TILE at the time. I have no idea what he runs now. That was you know, ten years ago. But similar case with the broad jump ten to oh four. But everything else was between like fifty five and seventy percent tiles in terms of the three co and the shuttle vertical jump, all that stuff. Contract details still unknown most of these guys were talking about here. I mean, I haven't given you guys details on Pharaoh Brown, on Arty Burns, on Alexander Madison.
