00:00Have you guys seen what's going on outside of Dolphins Camp now for the last two days?
00:04Picketing?
00:06There's picketing going on, kind of.
00:08Really?
00:08There is a punter from Middle Tennessee State who is trying to get a job from the Dolphins.
00:16So he's just kicking balls outside?
00:19He is just sitting out there with his signs to try and lure the Dolphins to give him a job.
00:26Uh, as you can see, he puts...
00:28Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:32What are you doing, buddy?
00:34That's not a good...
00:34Hey, yo, come on, man.
00:37What the hell is that, bro?
00:38You just got that, right?
00:41You gotta catch attention, dude.
00:43Nah, no.
00:44What do you mean?
00:45No, no, no, no, no.
00:46We're not putting that front and center.
00:48No, no, no, no, no.
00:49Come on, man.
00:51You gotta have a good sign, Vlad, to catch attention.
00:53I don't know.
00:54I don't want that kind of attention.
00:55No, I don't like that, sir.
00:57He said, uh, he says, for those who want to know, he says,
01:01Sanders, I can hold your balls better.
01:03Hey, yo, come on.
01:04That's what he says.
01:06Footballs, obviously.
01:10I don't want anybody talking about holding anybody's face game with footballs.
01:13I don't want to hear none of that.
01:14We're putting a barcode on everything now.
01:16Dude got a signage with barcodes.
01:19Yeah, he's got his...
01:21Pull that back up, Vlad.
01:23We got a barcode for athletes trying to get jobs now.
01:28Yep.
01:29Yep.
01:30I heard him.
01:30He was on the Dive Bar podcast yesterday.
01:33He says it's a link to his YouTube.
01:36Shout out to those boys.
01:37Kyle Ulbrich for...
01:38Kyle Ulbrich.
01:40By the way, he makes a great point.
01:43He's undefeated at Hard Rock Stadium because, of course,
01:45the Hurricanes lost to Middle Tennessee State.
01:48That's funny.
01:49Hey, hey, well, if this punning gig don't work out...
01:55So, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, like...
02:01Now, wouldn't it be something if he leaves here and then he just changed the colors
02:05and he'll be up in, like, Tampa?
02:09Yeah, I mean, I heard him yesterday.
02:10Is he from down here?
02:12He... I don't think he's from down here.
02:14But he's living in the Keys right now.
02:17In the Keys?
02:17So, yeah, he's living in the Keys.
02:20So, he is, so he just went to the closest place.
02:23I don't know if he's going to drive up to Tampa next.
02:26I don't know what the next stop is because he's out for day two.
02:29He's, he's now, he's, he's put out there day two and hopeful that someone out there is
02:34going to say, hey, I mean, come on, Kyle, come kick.
02:37He did have a nice average.
02:39I mean, he did have a nice average.
02:44It wasn't garbage.
02:45Who's the dolphins partner now or kicker?
02:48Jake Bailey.
02:50If you're Jake Bailey, how do you, how do you, when you're walking into training camp,
02:53how do you feel about it?
02:55No, you don't feel nothing.
02:56You got a job.
02:58I don't know, bro.
02:58You got a job.
02:59People gonna be like, hey, hey.
03:02If you're worried about that, then you ain't gonna have that job anyway.
03:07He said, we'll punt.
03:09But you know, how, how do you understand that?
03:14Just the, the mind of an athlete.
03:16Once you get to that point where you worried about what somebody else going to do, you
03:21don't already lost that job.
03:23But Leroy, let me ask you a punters athletes.
03:29You have to think about it.
03:32I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you a story.
03:34And I've told this story to told me.
03:37My, my roommate, Harold Morrow, right?
03:41We were playing Philly in the preseason.
03:44And, and so when we ain't playing, we just hype up all the young guys.
03:49Go get him, Harold.
03:50Go get him.
03:50Get Harold right on the field.
03:51I'm about to get somebody down.
03:53I'm about to get something up.
03:56He called punt return.
03:58And so this is back when you could go and clean out the punter.
04:02He circled around and we looking at it.
04:04He circled around to get the punter.
04:06And at the last minute, the punter looked and stoned him and he took a knee.
04:12And so he tried to come off the field on the other end.
04:15And we're like, Oh, bring your ass down here.
04:19You got to answer that.
04:20He said, dog, you know, he played linebacker in college.
04:23Oh, that's like, that's like the, that's the UFC guys say, you know, Jake Paul outweighed
04:30Mike Perry by four 40 pounds.
04:32Like we don't want to hear that now.
04:35But yeah, they're here.
04:37They're, it's a skill, right?
04:41But there are some athletic punters.
04:46So I'm not going to just totally say they're not athletes, but I would say it's, you got
04:53to have hand-eye coordination, right?
04:56You got to have excellent hand-eye coordination because when that ball start bouncing back
04:59there and you in the back of your end zone to get a punt off is pretty athletic.
05:04Well, keep in mind, most of the time it's a holder.
05:07And if you haven't tried doing that, that is a hard job to catch that ball and put it
05:13on that little bitty baby spot and lean it the way you'll kick her like it.
05:18So yeah, it would be, it would be something that I would like the idea of punters.
05:23It has to be like game of Thrones where like you have been challenged and you have to go
05:27punt off.
05:28You have to prove like, especially I feel like Mike McDaniel would dig a guy like this.
05:32Cause Mike McDaniel seems like the unorthodox type of guy.
05:36And listen, Jake Bailey was no, was no first prize last year at punting.
05:40What is he?
05:4030th and average last year.
05:42So I think he's probably looking at it.
05:44He goes, Oh, he went to low fruit, low hanging fruit.
05:47He did.
05:47He went to low hanging fruit.
05:49That's like, to you, that would be like an offensive lineman standing out there and say,
05:54I'm better than I can bark.
05:57I, yeah, I tell you what we had, we had, we had, we had tryouts in camp one year.
06:08Um, we had, uh, I want to say Matt bar, old time kicker.
06:14He broke his arm on kickoff and preseason.
06:17So, you know, when a punter get hurt, when a kicker get hurt, you ain't got time to be
06:21PUP and them and all that.
06:23So we had like five kickers come in and the kicker we decided to go with was from Canada.
06:33And he literally once a week hit the center and the ass kicking a field goal.
06:39That's what we had on the NFL team.
06:43Great.
06:44It was crazy.
