  of course, Landry football dot com, Landry Football on ex Chris, Welcome
• 0:07
  in, sir. I hope you had a great Easter. How are you?
• 0:10
  I did, Happy belated half of easter to you and all your listeners
• 0:12
  as well. I want to get into some college on the second segment and
• 0:15
  just kind of talk through some of these SEC teams as a spring practice,
• 0:19
  just to kind of check in. Let's start with the NFL, as we've
• 0:22
  been kind of coming through a lot of this with these teams after free agency.
• 0:25
  It's hard to believe. I mean, the draft is this month.
• 0:29
  I saw earlier today that the off season workout dates for all thirty two teams
• 0:33
  around. I mean, we'll be playing NFL football before you know it.
• 0:36
  Miami, the Dolphins Raheem Mozart agrees to a new two year deal worth around
• 0:41
  right of a nine million max. Very productive back for the Dolphins. We
• 0:46
  haven't talked much about Miami since, you know, we talked obviously about the
• 0:49
  Saints and the Cowboys and some others, but where is Miami in this pecking
• 0:53
  order? Can can they make that next step? This year, and you
• 0:57
  know two is one of these guys that's out here. Haven't talked a whole
• 1:00
  lot about his contract coming up, but your thoughts on Miami and where they
• 1:03
  are in kind of this AFC pecking order with the draft coming up. A
• 1:07
  lot of hype and a lot of talk about the Dolphins, particularly in the
• 1:11
  early part of last year, with you know, their high flying offense.
• 1:17
  Defense's defense was gutted towards the end of last year all the injuries. So
• 1:22
  they are a team to watch as they are trying to make a run.
• 1:26
  They're having a little bit of a kind of the Rams approach of we're going
• 1:30
  to go and try to go all in and try to make a run and
• 1:33
  sign guys that's mostered, and they want to run the football a little more
• 1:37
  and they want to play better defense and they need to have all the pieces
• 1:40
  in place to do that. So let's watch and see how they do it.
• 1:44
  Obviously, the Bills are good, but not like dominant. We know
• 1:49
  the Jets are going to be the talked about team again with Aaron Rodgers back,
• 1:53
  so that that division is kind of other than the Patriots or in clean
• 1:57
  clear rebuild mode and without a quarterback at this point that they can rely upon.
• 2:02
  I think the Dolphins are certainly in position to make a run. For
• 2:06
  me, it's about can they get the running game going? Can they play
• 2:09
  better defense? Because I don't believe in teams that are one dimensional going deep
• 2:14
  into the playoffs, and I think we've seen that with them, and I
• 2:17
  think we need to see them get more towards that. And I do think
• 2:21
  Mike McDaniel is bright and quirky as he is. He comes from the Kylle
• 2:23
  Shanahan tree that believes in the running game. So let's watch and see how
• 2:29
  they do there. And I absolutely think they can if they're certainly the one
• 2:34
  of the contenders, strong contenders in that division and certainly playoff caliber. Chris
