KAPLAN: Tell me about the first time you met your new coach, Adam Gase?

LANDRY: Everyone keeps talking about how he’s such a young guy. Well, when I came to the facility I reached out for a formal handshake and he’s like, ‘Man, get that out of here! Give me a hug! Show me some love!’ His youth definitely came out then. He has embraced me, and from there our relationship has continued to grow. We talk every day. I’m excited to play for him.

KAPLAN: He’s an offensive-minded coach. Have you studied any tape of his Broncos or Bears offenses yet?

LANDRY: I’ve actually watched a lot, mostly Denver tape. I’m a big-time fan of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Plus, Peyton [Manning] is a Louisiana guy as well so a lot of guys on that team I look up to. Peyton broke a lot of NFL records in that offense. I’m excited about playing in it.

KAPLAN: What aspects of that scheme might be different for you?

LANDRY: I’m excited for the opportunity to get moved around, to be with an offensive-minded coach that understands the concept of moving me around [and how that] allows me to do what I do best—which is play freely. That’s how most of our conversations go.

KAPLAN: Does that mean we we’ll be seeing you in the slot less?

LANDRY: Absolutely. I don’t want to have limits. Who wants limits? Who wants to have somebody implement limits? For me, it’s about being able to show my range and versatility: inside, outside. Hey, running back, quarterback, offensive line, whatever you need me to do coach.

KAPLAN: Quarterback?

LANDRY: We never know. I did it last year and I’m up for it again. I mean, I’m one-for-one. That’s not bad, right?

KAPLAN: Speaking of quarterbacks, what have you noticed about Ryan Tannehill this offseason?

LANDRY: I’ve had an opportunity to spend some time with him, throwing on our own, going to lunch, going golfing. With a new coach, it’s a fun time for him. He’s excited. I’ve definitely seen some confidence growing in him from last year where we left off. This year, he has a lot to build on.

Thanks for the link, I loved this portion:

KAPLAN: If there was a re-draft, knowing what we know now, where would you get picked?

LANDRY: Who knows, who knows (laughing). But I’m proud to be a Miami Dolphin and I’m happy that it turned out the way it did. I want to continue that legacy here, and be a Miami Dolphin forever.


We have needed someone like Landry on offense for a long time. Talent aside, you need someone who will lower his shoulder and "out-hit" the defender.

Need the screw you attitude on offense once in a while.

Nice post bro!
 
Seriously, can we clone Landry to play every position on the field?!
 
We will hit on a couple more of these attitudes this draft....our defense needs to be where it starts....we have enough on offense to be competitive right now!!!...I really want our defense to be a major focus...most importantly to me the front 7....mean, nasty attitudes that dare you to run and make you think you better get rid of the ball now if you're throwing it....the qb must go down and must go down hard...thanks Al Davis
 
We are blessed to have Tannehill, Landry and Parker at the age's they are now. If we can get some quality guards in here and Adam Gase is the real deal sky's the limit.
 
Dude this is awesome. Landry I ****ing love you. and here's the best part imo...

KAPLAN: Tell me about the first time you met your new coach, Adam Gase?

Man... this piece has confirmed what I had already believed about Gase... He is truly for his players and most importantly he's able to relate with them on their level. Emotional IQ is what we have here with Gase.. The intellectual Rex Ryan! Gaaaah I'm excited to see the culture he creates here for years to come.

Excellent, we have solved two problems.
 
Landry is incredible and probably the best player we've drafted in 15 years. Thanks again, Hickey. :lol: at people choosing to take shots at him in this thread. Love hearing about the way Gase connected with him. The only hope we have moving forward is if Gase is somehow the chosen one. I think that's a wild long shot to take and may be too much pressure to put on him at this point, but at least there's a chance.
