Back inside the Ann Arbor Studios of the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com.

So yesterday the Lions held the joint practice with the Miami Dolphins. They'll also do that again today. Prior to practice, we heard from head coach Dan Campbell. So let's get to that now. Here is Dan Campbell getting ready for joint practices with the dolphins yesterday morning. Now here on the Michigan insider on the Big 1050 WTCA. Well, I'm pretty excited about today, really these next two days,

to get some work with the dolphins.

You know, kind of mention this, man.

They got really good personnel, good scheme.

And, you know, and it's somebody different, you know.

So just gives us a chance to kind of work against different, different, you know, like I say, types of different types of looks and athletes. And anyway, it's awesome. So we're fired up about this. We're looking forward to it. Questions? Do you sense a good type of players do? I mean, dog-dick camp. Well, practice, you get sick of hitting guys. You know, did you sense a little negative on the players too? I mean, dog, you get sick of hitting guys.

You know, did you sense a little maybe different atmosphere amongst the guys?

For sure. I mean, the guys know, this is, you know, as with anything, our guys love competing, you know, and it's a, when you go against each other every day, you know, at some point it's you've seen about all you can see out of each other. And it doesn't mean you're still not trying to win, but now you get somebody

else, man, and it has different moves and different footwork and different styles, and you have

to adjust quickly. But you're trying to win, right? You're competing. And, uh, and that's the best,

you know, so our guys are,

they're excited. Is there any people gravitate you more than others, maybe different position

groups, anything else? No, I mean, obviously, I'm going to stay on the offensive field,

just, you know, and then one-on-ones, you know, I kind of always hover around the backs and

tight ends. It's just, that's just me, but either way, you know, I kind of always hover around the backs and tight ends. It's just, that's just me.

But either way, you know, what I don't see to be able to watch the tape, I'm excited about. You know, we'll have one-on-ones. We'll have some group. You know, we'll have red zone third. And we're going to have it all, really. So this will, this will be good. In the past you've talked about how you look at the joint practices for the starters

is more important than the preseason games.

So with that, we see primarily starters today and we see a lot more younger guys

kind of working with the first team for opportunities?

Yeah, I think that's the best way to look at it.

It's really two groups.
