00:00All right, NFL season is here and you know, everyone knows I'm a big fan of the Miami
00:06Dolphins and I got a chance to see a little practice, but you know, with the season starting
00:12up, I want to talk to one of their top players, Alec Ingold.
00:16He's an old school fullback in the Dolphins' modern offense.
00:21Last year he was the Dolphins' finalist for Walter Payton fan of the year and I'm glad
00:25to be joined by Alec Ingold.
00:28Let's go for a walk.
00:29Let's do it.
00:30Let's do it, baby.
00:31Are you ready to roll?
00:32Yes.
00:33I can handle a bad rope.
00:34I watched a whole bunch of weight today.
00:35I mean, when I was five-six pounds, I'd probably be on the ground right now.
00:36Yeah.
00:37We got this hot weather.
00:38We got some cloud cover for you, though.
00:39We ordered it up for you.
00:40Yeah.
00:41Yeah.
00:42Yeah.
00:43Yeah.
00:44Yeah.
00:45Yeah.
00:46Yeah.
00:47Yeah.
00:48Yeah.
00:49Yeah.
00:50Yeah.
00:51Yeah.
00:52Yeah.
00:53Yeah.
00:54Yeah.
00:55Yeah.
00:56Yeah.
00:57Yeah.
00:58Yeah.
00:59Yeah.
01:00So we ordered it up for you.
01:01Well, it's almost 3 o'clock, so you know what that means.
01:02About to rain.
01:03Yeah.
01:04That 10 minute storm, which feels good for about 2 minutes and then all of a sudden it
01:10turns into a sauna.
01:12Yup, 100%.
01:13That's awesome.
01:14That's Miami.
01:15You can almost say you're watched by it.
01:17Yeah, literally.
01:18Anytime we're in this team room, we'll hear all the rain just going nuts, right around
01:222-33, and then it's good for the rest of the day.
01:25Yeah.
01:26I mean it's I mean just think about this quality heat you have now
01:34You don't have to wear winter coats and worry about snowshoes. No
01:39So, you know, you know
01:41We I don't know if you like when you grow up
01:44I know obviously you're you know up in Northeast part of the United States and you grow up in snow. You're used to it
01:50It's hard to like acclimate to all that if you're down here all the time
01:53So I'm glad that you live in it first before you move down. Yes, we can travel up north
01:58Yeah, it's I mean last year. I don't go off in
02:04Really poppy second-best team in the AFC. I think what just happened is the injuries
02:09Yeah, what is that? That to me is the key for this year. Is he got to stay healthy?
02:14We need I was at the Black Friday game in the Medellin's on that horrible surface
02:21When Phillips went down I felt the city
02:25when I watched the Hardknocks
02:28just the sound was such a
02:31Just awful. Yeah, he was mic'd up when it happened
02:33I was there for you like going to like a game in the Medellin's
02:37Obviously, you don't have to travel far for that one. You go to the Jets opens game every year
02:41Yes, that's so I mean so you get to do that then you watch Hardknocks, you know
02:46Like how does that fan experience go for you like being able to kind of get into the locker room?
02:51It's not it's nice. I just
02:53Hardknocks, I know that's a pain for the players
02:56It wasn't that bad
02:57I mean they threw some cameras up in like the meeting rooms and stuff
03:00But I think at the end of the day kind of just helps I watched almost every episode
03:05I just couldn't bring myself to watch the last two
03:09Like after the season I want to go back and watch a couple of them
03:13I just I just could I couldn't put I couldn't watch that again. I mean you live at one time
03:19I mean that game in Kansas City was just
03:23So cold
03:26Honestly, I don't
03:27the NFL
03:29Should not put a night game that situation. I don't want to put it in prime time Pete talking everything but
03:36You got to put up in the daytime, but at least maybe it's not as brutally cold. I mean that was a dangerous situation
03:49I
03:56Found a chair for me
04:01You're kind of a dying breed the old-fashioned walking back fullback with all these fast guys behind you most hurt each hand
04:10The blocking back to this to speed unit Frank
04:14I just trying to get out of the way
04:15Like one of the slowest guys on the field obviously and you just try and give those guys an inch, you know
04:20I think obviously you have
04:23Such like, you know the encyclopedia you have up like it was Larry's off your guy. Yeah
04:27I got Larry's uncle Jersey to you got Larry's uncle Jersey. Yeah, I was I was too young
04:31But he's he's back before my you're like a merino guy growing up. Yeah. Okay, so I'm 48 so, okay
04:37So but I do have a when I was
04:40Seven years old the first Jersey I own
04:44It's like that boy like a cheap little store there wasn't a number 39. Yeah Dolphin Jersey. Did it have this logo on it?
04:51Uh, yeah. Yeah, well didn't have logo on it had like stripes. Yeah, but yeah
04:56Yeah, that's I had a yeah when I was seven years old. I had a number 39
05:00Larry's not good Jersey. So my first day here. We had a team meeting and Larry's not showed up
05:07Stories from 72 perfect season
05:0971 right before when they lost in the Super Bowl and I was ready to run through the brick wall
05:14You ever hear that guy talk his hands are like massive. You gotta gotta listen. He broke his nose like
05:2035 times. Yeah, I don't with those face masks back in the day
05:23I don't know how everybody and I'm listening to the audible of
05:31Spice guys. Yeah, I think so, you know, but they're talking about Manny Fernandez
05:40Weeks in the hospital, but he left every Sunday to play the game. Really? Yes. I
05:45Find that insane some of those guys back in the day. We're so tough like I mean, obviously we're out here in 100-degree heat
05:51Whatever, but those guys back in the Orange Bowl the way they played like someone gets too long
05:56You'd say they're putting a my or he probably doesn't return for the season
06:00But he's like he's he's checking out the hospital goes to the stadium plays makes a
06:05Game winning play and goes back to the hospital. Yeah
06:09I mean we have some guys like they'll have surgeries on like Mondays or Sundays right after the game
06:14They'll play the next week's pneumonia when you're going to like literally to the hospital. I mean
06:20Football players are tough. There'd be not no question about it and
06:24The Dolphins
06:26Fullback position. It's it's really tough play that is yet. They're like, but you one thing I know is that you're gonna catch that ball
06:34Yeah
06:35Every once a while. I mean you kind of surprise them right to his gut. Yeah, he's got all the no-look passes
06:41He's a lefty. So sometimes it looks different coming out of the hand and they let me love for you
06:45You don't have to go like
06:47Yeah, it's uh, you don't really get very many yards when you're a fullback, but
06:52Whenever you get the ball, it's always fun to be able to celebrate with the guys. What are your expectations?
06:57I don't know. What what are your expectations?
07:00Because I get so lucky to like a training camp practice like we have offense defense
07:04We have these battles going on like what what are your expectations big picture? I think
07:11They got it, but he is healthy
07:14Yeah, we got a
07:17I
07:25Think you guys should be able to win division. Yeah
07:42January
07:46Yeah
07:55And this is what it's all about it's a thing and you've mentioned that how much you appreciate the fans especially young fans
08:17And I think if you win a division
08:20Depending on the seed you get second third. Yeah
08:24Who knows?
08:26Anything can happen once again the tournament that's what happened to golf
08:30The injuries always I don't want to be out what didn't mean so what
08:35What's the celebration? What's the celebratory situation?
08:46I'm gonna shake on that one
09:00That needs to be a problem
09:17Obviously you got the threads on but you're part of the part of the squad now, so
09:2586
09:29And shout out AJ Dewey wherever you are
09:36I gotta do a me a copa. I don't AJ Dewey were 86. I look at the picture. He wore 77
