Speaker 1: All right, the Audibles on the air, Kimbo Camber, John
Speaker 1: Can Jemmy. I think it's a dynamic duo. We turned
Speaker 1: from from the Thrilling, not where the wolf Pack. Joe's
Speaker 1: kind of you know, he's kind of you know, he's
Speaker 1: been bailing out on us a little bit. We'll get
Speaker 1: him back. We'll get him. I told him free lunch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: usually when you know he can go in that in
Speaker 1: that dining room there and get a free lance. He's
Speaker 1: all over the people, Yes, exactly, talk to everybody there.
Speaker 1: And you know that's at someone that you go somewhere
Speaker 1: with Joe. You can never just leave a place. You
Speaker 1: can never creep out of it into a place or
Speaker 1: out of a place. I'm a creeper when I go someplace.
Speaker 1: When it's time for me to go, I just kind
Speaker 1: of buy it back out a little bit. And you know, hey,
Speaker 1: on my way, he used to tell me, I used
Speaker 1: to vaporize. Yeah, exactly, that's that's corner. Hey where John,
Speaker 1: I think he's in the bathroom. They wouldn't send me
Speaker 1: untill next season. Exactly where's Bo? Well, it's to be
Speaker 1: honest with he's probably right in bed right the right
Speaker 1: it's all over with so anyway. But we'll get him
Speaker 1: back here at some time. Uh. First, First, John, let
Speaker 1: let's talk about about yesterday's game to win. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: going up against the Jets, going up to New York,
Speaker 1: playing in New York, first road game for a very
Speaker 1: young football team in the Miami Dolphins to a team
Speaker 1: that that you know, looked like looked like, oh boy,
Speaker 1: they got they got the next coming of Joe Namath.
Speaker 1: You know they got uh, you know, they got a
Speaker 1: running game the restaurant hundred sixteen yards. Oh man. I
Speaker 1: remember looking at the back of the post after Week
Speaker 1: one and and they already anointed the super Bowl. They
Speaker 1: were going second coming. We're on our road. We're on
Speaker 1: the road. We're on the road to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: One of those New York Jets fans that haven't been
Speaker 1: able to bring the pomp bombs out of the closet
Speaker 1: or the Jackets or whatever they were, they were screaming
Speaker 1: from the mountain tops and and every you know, you
Speaker 1: probably feel good about doing that because you haven't been
Speaker 1: able to do that in a while. If you're a
Speaker 1: Jets fan or a Dolphins fan for that matter. Being
Speaker 1: able to feel confident about your team and being able to,
Speaker 1: you know, just talk about it anywhere you go. They
Speaker 1: even they played so in the first game, even that
Speaker 1: fraud Fireman ed came back. They came out of time.
Speaker 1: Remember about four or five years bringing down the guys
Speaker 1: are horrible. I'm the Fireman's hats coming and I'm retiring.
Speaker 1: And now he's back. Last week. It was great to
Speaker 1: see it. It's great to see his stupid ass up there.
Speaker 1: You know, did you hear anything at him? No, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I know. I think when he left he
Speaker 1: used to be down, like down almost almost feel. I
Speaker 1: think they put him up in the They said, we'll
Speaker 1: still put you on a camera on the stadium, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna sit way up in the in the chief
Speaker 1: scenes discouraging from coming. And so now they got three.
Speaker 1: They got three. They got they got Fireman ad back,
Speaker 1: and they got to want to be Fireman as so
Speaker 1: they're all patrolling the state and they're all wining after
Speaker 1: the game, you know, crying and you love good cars.
Speaker 1: It's an awesome thing to see. When I thought to
Speaker 1: take over by the Dolphin fans was good. It was
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, that was great. Yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 1: We went out there and Joe and I went out
Speaker 1: for a cup of Joe in the part those packs man,
Speaker 1: So we're driving they they unfortunately they got us a
Speaker 1: golf cart and and then the goat. It's Joe, me
Speaker 1: um Mark, Clayton's wife, Dupe and Clayton. So we're on
Speaker 1: a sixth seeder there we're heading it. And so we're
Speaker 1: driving and we're driving through them by the metal lands
Speaker 1: out in the parking lot and and all there's you know,
Speaker 1: jet fans and we all got dolphins shirts. I and
Speaker 1: you know, but everyone else had dolphin shirts on and uh.
Speaker 1: And Dupe's like, We're like, we're driving going, hey, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get your asses. And it was were real quiet
Speaker 1: on the cart, right, No, no, no, no, we're right,
Speaker 1: We're right. I mean we're literally driving down and we're
Speaker 1: about ten feet from all these tailgates and Dupe is
Speaker 1: just giving him. The business people are like running after
Speaker 1: us and we're riding into golf. Dude was just and
Speaker 1: then we come around the corner and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you see the sea of akwand orange. You know,
Speaker 1: these people that they be coming and look, I talked
Speaker 1: to people from Canada. There was a guy from the
Speaker 1: UK there that was his first game. Uh, people from
Speaker 1: all over the country came, you know, with all their
Speaker 1: dolphin gearing. It was it was really really was something special.
Speaker 1: So you know, if the funny was at the end
Speaker 1: of the game, I'm walking off the field two minute warning,
Speaker 1: I know they don't have to run another play. I'm
Speaker 1: walking in and I look up and I saw you
Speaker 1: you know what, that's amazing all these people and they
Speaker 1: were so happy because they were getting to beat down
Speaker 1: to Jet fans while they were walking out walking down.
Speaker 1: It was a little payback for pregame. It was. It
Speaker 1: was the thing of beauty. It was. It was good stuff.
Speaker 1: But anyway, um, a big, big win for the Dolphins
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. John, I think, um, for
Speaker 1: the second game in a row. You know you're able
Speaker 1: in the first have to establish a lead. They get
Speaker 1: a fourteen nothing lead, then they get twenty nothing, and
Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of been my that's kind of
Speaker 1: been one of my thing my themes this year is, hey,
Speaker 1: this team, you can't afford to play from behind all
Speaker 1: the time. And here's two games we led three lost
Speaker 1: trail three nothing in against Tennessee and then came right
Speaker 1: back scored a touch after that, and so you so
Speaker 1: you'll lead the rest of the the way. So, uh, this
Speaker 1: team gets a lead and you're able to, thank God,
Speaker 1: able to hang on because he really struggled in that
Speaker 1: second half. John couldn't couldn't put points on the board
Speaker 1: for a lot of the reason. But the Jets weren't
Speaker 1: gonna allow him run the football. But they weren't gonna
Speaker 1: allow the Dolphins to make a living between the tackles
Speaker 1: running the football a lot of people with the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and so they found other ways to get
Speaker 1: the job done, and the help of the defense with
Speaker 1: the with the turnovers. Three turnovers in the first half
Speaker 1: were huge, huge in this game. It was really nice
Speaker 1: to your first point about the Dolphins getting out to
Speaker 1: a fast start. You know, in those numbers. I think
Speaker 1: we've talked about it in prior years, in prior weeks
Speaker 1: about how the numbers are so directly lead you to
Speaker 1: a loss if you're downten nothing, if you're down seven nothing,
Speaker 1: and now it gets to fourteen nothing. And the Dolphins
Speaker 1: have not been a good team over the last ten
Speaker 1: years of being able to overcome that obstacle. So they
Speaker 1: get off fairly fairly quickly, and it's led by you know,
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill running the football early on the first play
Speaker 1: of the game, the defense setting the table with all
Speaker 1: the turnovers, uh cutting the field in half, the special teams,
Speaker 1: and Hawk punting the football the way he did, keeping
Speaker 1: the Jets pinned down on their own end. So there
Speaker 1: was a lot of things to lead that led to
Speaker 1: early momentum in the football game that Miami took advantage of.
Speaker 1: Every time the defense or special teams set the table
Speaker 1: for the offense, they were able to operate on a
Speaker 1: short field, moved down and score. And I think I
Speaker 1: wrote in one of my takeaways that turnovers lead to touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what the Dolphins did. T J gets
Speaker 1: him down inside the twenty yard line, you get a
Speaker 1: Drake run up the middle of six yards touchdown. You
Speaker 1: get Keiko stripping the ball loose, you get uh Wilson
Speaker 1: on the under route and he stutters the guy in
Speaker 1: mid midstream and goes up the sidelines for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So he had plays like that where it was complimentary
Speaker 1: football that the defense set the table, the special teams
Speaker 1: kept him down there, but the offense came through to
Speaker 1: finally get that league, and and and and the key
Speaker 1: thing is, and you look at the difference between the
Speaker 1: Dolphins and the Jets. Jets were held. They score the
Speaker 1: one touchdown, but you know, whenever they pro whenever they
Speaker 1: had crossed the goal the goal line, they had field
Speaker 1: goals or turnover or you or turnover. But you know,
Speaker 1: to be able to hold. Look, we've been that situation
Speaker 1: enough over the years where you gotta settle for field goal.
Speaker 1: Settle for field goals. Next you know, you lose a
Speaker 1: game by two and so and you're looking at exactly
Speaker 1: and you look at the Jets and they just but
Speaker 1: but you're you know, Matt Hawk. You got Matt Hawk
Speaker 1: in the first first series or first half, he went
Speaker 1: put put the ball in the fifteen yard line, uh,
Speaker 1: the nineteen yard line, the third, eighteen yard line. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was just busting the ball down, busting the ball down.
Speaker 1: First half twelve seven seven, second half, the three, the ten,
Speaker 1: the seventeen, the eight all came all came after the
Speaker 1: Jets session. After Matt Hawk put and you know, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: guys did a lot of good things in that game.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna pick m M v P, guys
Speaker 1: certainly gonna get some votes because I thought that was
Speaker 1: when you when you make that team drive, it's tough,
Speaker 1: it's it's rocky quarterback. Unless you get a big chunk play,
Speaker 1: something's gonna happen, especially with a rookie quarter make him
Speaker 1: go the long way. And I think that was the
Speaker 1: game plan from Adam Gaze in terms of the coaching
Speaker 1: staff and the way they wanted to make the Jets
Speaker 1: work on offense. I think there's starting field position in
Speaker 1: the first half. I had him down his minus four
Speaker 1: minus ten, minus twenty five, minus eight, minus twenty five.
Speaker 1: They were always deep in their own end. So even
Speaker 1: if they strung four or five or six plays together,
Speaker 1: you're right, they needed that one twenty five yard player,
Speaker 1: that one thirty five yard play, that explosive play to
Speaker 1: cut cut it in half, to to really if they
Speaker 1: didn't score, they punted back and pin the Dolphins. So
Speaker 1: that really never position, the field stayed tipped the entire
Speaker 1: first happen basically the entire game. Yeah, yeah, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. And uh, just um, you know so many
Speaker 1: you look at us just trying to to put some
Speaker 1: You look at, say, so who this is If you
Speaker 1: go back to two thousand and sixteen when when the
Speaker 1: Dolphins when ten and six went to the playoffs, very
Speaker 1: similar to what we're seeing now with this football team.
Speaker 1: I think Ryan was playing at a better level there,
Speaker 1: and I think Ryan will get to a to a
Speaker 1: better level than than than than what he's done in
Speaker 1: the first couple of games. We've still done enough to
Speaker 1: help this team win football games. But it was always
Speaker 1: big plays. There was always a big play at some
Speaker 1: point that made the difference. First game against tennessee big
Speaker 1: plays in that that when you have the big touchdown
Speaker 1: to Kenny Stills, you have the kick returned by but
Speaker 1: Jachim Grant. Defensive plays had interceptions from two interceptions from
Speaker 1: and then you go look at this game and Albert
Speaker 1: Wilson's touchdown, the play between Rashad and and Bobby Bobby
Speaker 1: McCain at the end of the first half to keep
Speaker 1: them from being the end. And then in time running,
Speaker 1: I didn't even get then even walk away with points. Right,
Speaker 1: you're figuring they're gonna they're gonna go in with momentum work,
Speaker 1: the clock make sure they got a little time. LA
Speaker 1: was brutal. Oh gosh, yeah, and so and so. You
Speaker 1: had a big play there. You know, you get the
Speaker 1: fumble from from Ryan. Very next play, X runs the
Speaker 1: route for whose I don't know if it's Anderson and
Speaker 1: picks and and and it makes a huge play in
Speaker 1: the ends. I was able to stand in the end zone,
Speaker 1: stay in to get to make it count. Um and
Speaker 1: then it just it was just so anywhere else. I know,
Speaker 1: I'm missing some of the big plays that were out
Speaker 1: there yesterday, but you know, you had you had Keiko
Speaker 1: frying around the field, stripping football's, knocking guys out. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. Thirteen total tackles, Robert Yeah, McMillan picks
Speaker 1: up the fumble, Robert Quinn's humming off the edge. The
Speaker 1: entire game. You've got you know, McCain battling on the corner.
Speaker 1: You've got the Jets limited to forty two yards on
Speaker 1: the ground, so that front seven and was really doing
Speaker 1: a great job of winning the battle to the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. You had all those things happening, and then
Speaker 1: you put the Dolphins offense on a short field where
Speaker 1: they you know, the numbers might not have seemed, you know, huge,
Speaker 1: but they only had to go fifty or sixty or
Speaker 1: forty yards to get the points they were able to
Speaker 1: get in that first half. Yeah, no doubt it was.
Speaker 1: It really was a fun thing to watch. But you know,
Speaker 1: the it this is you really start to see. And
Speaker 1: I was just talking to Albert about it, John, I
Speaker 1: think we may have talked about it last week. But
Speaker 1: the more the more I watched this, more I watched
Speaker 1: this league now, the more I believe fast athletic is
Speaker 1: the way to win football games out here. Now. Having
Speaker 1: said that, man, there's still a lot of big hits
Speaker 1: out in that football field. Big. I know there. I
Speaker 1: know the league is trying to take away all these
Speaker 1: big hits and but there and there were a lot
Speaker 1: of big, legal, big hits out there. Is Keego is
Speaker 1: just Keigo just socks office people. And it was unbelievable
Speaker 1: how how well he played and how fast he played.
Speaker 1: And I think it all goes back bow And we've
Speaker 1: seen all these practices during O t as, We've seen
Speaker 1: all training game, we've seen the preseason. The defense has
Speaker 1: been preaching, the coaching staff has been preaching run of
Speaker 1: the ball wherever it is on the field, get to
Speaker 1: the football, then get back to the line of screamage,
Speaker 1: get back in the huddle, run another play. If somebody
Speaker 1: go if Frank Gore and practice runs at a hundred yards,
Speaker 1: you go down and touch the football, get back to
Speaker 1: where you're supposed to be, line up and play again.
Speaker 1: That's the way they play every play, every snap against
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Titans. No matter where the ball is,
Speaker 1: they're finding it, getting back and getting ready to do
Speaker 1: it again. Going into that game, I you know, I like,
Speaker 1: I was like everyone else, you know, you've got to
Speaker 1: stop that running game because the Jets had they ran
Speaker 1: ran all over the week before. But but in the
Speaker 1: back of your mind and it was at Detroit or
Speaker 1: was at the Jets. Uh, But they Jets have a
Speaker 1: nice running game. They have a nice, pretty nice offensive line.
Speaker 1: And I tell that defensive front, that front seven, and
Speaker 1: you know, so the beginning of the game, I thought
Speaker 1: they set the tempo in the beginning of the game
Speaker 1: just they want to penetrate. You know, they were getting
Speaker 1: up the features. We're trying to get that zone blocking,
Speaker 1: stretch blocking, and they would get in the crease of
Speaker 1: that stretch and just get in the backfield create you know,
Speaker 1: create trouble with lanes to meet is is a killer
Speaker 1: of a running game. You can penetrate with that running
Speaker 1: now has to stop readjust then then then and that
Speaker 1: I thought they did a really good job of being
Speaker 1: very aggressive early on and throughout the first half, and
Speaker 1: a better part of the second half. I think they
Speaker 1: were I think around the feel a little too long,
Speaker 1: kind of got a little tired there towards the end,
Speaker 1: But I think early on the aggressiveness of that front
Speaker 1: seven really set the tempo for what that defense was
Speaker 1: gonna be all day long. And you know what, Bow,
Speaker 1: it just wasn't one guy, but that constant rotation up front.
Speaker 1: I asked a Keem Spence, you know, how does that
Speaker 1: keep you fresh? He goes, Oh, I feel so much
Speaker 1: better in the second half because we all feel like
Speaker 1: we're starters number one, and we all feel like we're contributing.
Speaker 1: And the rotation up front is keeping those guys a
Speaker 1: little bit fresher in the second half so they can
Speaker 1: still penetrate the running game and and and pressure the
Speaker 1: pocket like they did maybe the first two series of
Speaker 1: a game. Because those guys are getting You know, there
Speaker 1: there's multiple people playing different positions, all equaling the same
Speaker 1: effect because they've all been just as good as the
Speaker 1: next guy coming in. You don't you have to check
Speaker 1: the number to see who was that because you're not
Speaker 1: sure of which guy was playing defensive tackle on that play.
Speaker 1: Where you look at Robert Quinn making plays, gotcha made plays.
Speaker 1: Vincent Taylor. Vincent Taylor, to me, here's a guy that's
Speaker 1: just getting better and better and better. He played well
Speaker 1: last year, you know it, gotchall was kind of a
Speaker 1: little hit him. Now I think they're I think they're there.
Speaker 1: I think they're both playing. But I think I think
Speaker 1: Vincent really is taking his game to a whole different level.
Speaker 1: And they're best football's like two years, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: once they really get the hang of what they're doing.
Speaker 1: Right now, they're going on emotion. You know, they got
Speaker 1: a little bit technique, but they're they're strong guys and
Speaker 1: athletic kids. Well, well look at and that's why I've
Speaker 1: been saying about this football team. To me, this is
Speaker 1: a very very young football team. But but there's a
Speaker 1: good core of young football players over the last three drafts,
Speaker 1: and a good example we look look at So you
Speaker 1: look at Gottschaw and Taylor from last year to this year,
Speaker 1: both have improved, right, both were good last year, Both
Speaker 1: have improved. Go back to x you know, his first
Speaker 1: year pretty good, but he kind of feels second year
Speaker 1: all of a sudden second half. Second year he started
Speaker 1: and now they don't even throw his ball throwing the
Speaker 1: balls the third year. So so that's kind of all
Speaker 1: these guys that were drafted three years ago, two years ago,
Speaker 1: this year, you know they've got you know they're playing well,
Speaker 1: but they've gotta they've got a lot of upside. And
Speaker 1: these are these are guys that you hope they're gonna
Speaker 1: have upside because you can see it already. They're getting
Speaker 1: better each and every week. They're approving it. And for
Speaker 1: opposing offensive coordinators that think the wink link might be
Speaker 1: Minca Fitzpatrick, they better, they better scratch that off the
Speaker 1: list and try to spread it around. I'm an offensive
Speaker 1: coordinate saying, look, there's two places I don't want the
Speaker 1: ball to go. I don't want it to go by
Speaker 1: twenty nine, and I don't want it to go anywhere
Speaker 1: in and you're thrown somewhere between them. We don't don't
Speaker 1: get it around those two guys. And it's and it's
Speaker 1: really very evident to Jets were trying to target Minca
Speaker 1: because I think he had ten targets. You know, whoever
Speaker 1: he was covering, the ball was going his way and
Speaker 1: all I saw was him waving his hands in You know,
Speaker 1: I don't think so well, you're talking about big plays,
Speaker 1: plays he makes in the end zone, Witherson going up
Speaker 1: and you know it goes up and then defends the
Speaker 1: ball and tackles well in space and everything. He just
Speaker 1: he just you mean, you talk about a guy that
Speaker 1: stepped in and looks like he's been playing at this league,
Speaker 1: in this league at a high level for forever, for
Speaker 1: a long time, not just a month and a half.
Speaker 1: You know, whenever he got here and and was able
Speaker 1: to contribute, it's been special on defense and and it
Speaker 1: has to continue. You know, this is a league where
Speaker 1: they're gonna get a couple of weeks on film. They're
Speaker 1: gonna take a look at what you do, where your
Speaker 1: tendencies are, what your alignment is, How can we defeat
Speaker 1: you by alignment? And you know that's where yourself study
Speaker 1: comes in. You know, guys that have only played two
Speaker 1: games in the league thinking and I don't think Mink
Speaker 1: is this way. I think I think he's gonna continue
Speaker 1: to work in his craft, to change up his alignment,
Speaker 1: to change up things that he does because he doesn't
Speaker 1: want people to think, you know, I've got you. Now
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna try to work on something else.
Speaker 1: But I really like the way that the defense. I mean,
Speaker 1: over two weeks in the National Football League, there's been
Speaker 1: a lot of mistackles around the National Football League, but
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of positive explosive plays made by
Speaker 1: the front seven and the back end, and I think
Speaker 1: they're playing complimentary a lot of pressure up front. You
Speaker 1: don't have to cover as long you can make plays
Speaker 1: on the football. Teams will start to see what they're
Speaker 1: doing a little bit and they'll adjust. But but they'll
Speaker 1: adjust too because they know what other team that but
Speaker 1: what the other teams doing. But I don't care what
Speaker 1: you can talk about adjustments and schemes in this and that.
Speaker 1: As long as you're an aggressive team that's playing downhill
Speaker 1: on defense, you're gonna have a chance to win the
Speaker 1: majority of the time. You know, it's when you're kind
Speaker 1: of when you're playing catch you know, catching read, then
Speaker 1: then then you're gonna struggle. But then you're in in
Speaker 1: this team. This team, I don't see this team at
Speaker 1: any point this season being a catch and read football team.
Speaker 1: It goes to your point. But the defensive front seven,
Speaker 1: especially the front four, they're moving the line of screamage
Speaker 1: about two or three yards in the offensive backfield. Anytime
Speaker 1: you can get the head type of penetration, it really
Speaker 1: he's going to make the backstop and start again. And
Speaker 1: that's where the speed of this defense catches up to you.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you. They're playing like their hairs
Speaker 1: on fire going up the field, and they're making guys uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: especially the offensive line of Hey, who is that? You know? Assignment?
Speaker 1: Who do you got that guy? Hum? I can't get
Speaker 1: to the second level because I'm playing in my own backfield.
Speaker 1: Talk about Robert Quinn as well. We should be in
Speaker 1: a great pass rusher. He made a huge play backside,
Speaker 1: came up the middle. And that's the other thing. The
Speaker 1: effort has been unbelieved. Its incredible, but but it leads
Speaker 1: me to this John, this league, this league, if I'm
Speaker 1: if I'm a team, if I'm an offensive Cordiner in
Speaker 1: this league. I'm gonna run naked boot, naked the time,
Speaker 1: naked boot until you show me. You're gonna show some
Speaker 1: backside containerent no nobody within it opens up, opens up
Speaker 1: the game with a twenty yard run. He ended the
Speaker 1: game and opened up the game. In the defensive end
Speaker 1: that should have been up field, he's over trying to
Speaker 1: stop a sweep on the other side of the gator.
Speaker 1: I know, when the hell is somebody? When is somebody
Speaker 1: in this league? And I'm talking to everybody, But Dolphins
Speaker 1: do the same thing. I think they've gotten better about
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, having somebody bowing him out a
Speaker 1: little bit, just so you But you know, he used
Speaker 1: to me, if you get that big backside defense on
Speaker 1: the field, that quarterback starts in naked. But you gotta
Speaker 1: pull up now. You get out there and you got
Speaker 1: a whole field to run. I got a tight end
Speaker 1: dragging across the field. You have a flood. Wait here
Speaker 1: for a little while and bom hit him in there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the easiest play right now. It seems like in
Speaker 1: the NFL to run offensively because there's nobody that regards
Speaker 1: their assignment on the back side. Just to set the
Speaker 1: edge or at least being in the space to affect
Speaker 1: the play. I remember two years ago, three years ago,
Speaker 1: I went up to play Philadelphia and and and they're
Speaker 1: tight end was bread selling breadth selk at the time
Speaker 1: was was was seventy three years old, right, the guy
Speaker 1: they just want to they were trying to get rid
Speaker 1: of them. Your two will get out of here. That
Speaker 1: guy made a living and it was all naked boot
Speaker 1: wait for selector you know, wait from he run about
Speaker 1: a five tube lopes across the field and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you it right, But then they had
Speaker 1: like three or four times and I going, geez, you know,
Speaker 1: get that defensive end back up the field a little bit.
Speaker 1: That wouldn't happen to you, but you know it just
Speaker 1: it seems to be the nature of the beast. But
Speaker 1: get getting back to getting back to the Jet game yesterday,
Speaker 1: talk about the defensive front, talk about that that front
Speaker 1: seven against the run. But boy, I tell you, you you know,
Speaker 1: Sam Donald didn't have a whole lot of time back
Speaker 1: there to sit and pick and choose early on that
Speaker 1: football game. Now, look as a game went on later,
Speaker 1: Dolphins started playing a little more zone and he started
Speaker 1: looking like like the like the guy that it was
Speaker 1: a third pick in the draft and then the future
Speaker 1: quarterback for the New York Jets. But but when it
Speaker 1: was when it was man on man, when he was
Speaker 1: put the pressure on the quarterback. But you know, not
Speaker 1: that they brought him down a lot. I mean they did,
Speaker 1: and they stacked him three times in the game, but
Speaker 1: there are a lot of times where they made him
Speaker 1: move put the balls that he put up that they
Speaker 1: were tipped or intercepted were balls that you know, he
Speaker 1: probably would like to ti back and have back, and
Speaker 1: but you know, trying to get him out of get
Speaker 1: the ball out of the pocket, and get him down
Speaker 1: the field. And that's exactly what you want to do
Speaker 1: against a rookie quarterback. Absolutely, they made they made Sam
Speaker 1: Donald go the long way first of all with that
Speaker 1: long field, and then they shut down his running game.
Speaker 1: You know, when you rush for forty two yards in
Speaker 1: a sixty minute game, something's wrong and you know you're
Speaker 1: gonna probably end up throwing for over three hundred yards.
Speaker 1: What's he did? But a lot of those yards were
Speaker 1: kind of like okay, you know, that's okay, We're glad
Speaker 1: to give you. You know, It's one thing when you
Speaker 1: throw a ball you get an eighteen yard reception. When
Speaker 1: you when you're on your own ten yard line because
Speaker 1: you're a defense guy, you look back. You still a
Speaker 1: long way to go, you know, instead of instead of
Speaker 1: when they're on there on the forty yard line they
Speaker 1: scored one, they throw ayendix and you're in the red
Speaker 1: zone like, oh, you know here, we gotta come up
Speaker 1: with a play. So no, but I just think that
Speaker 1: credit the defense. Number one. The pressure in the pocket
Speaker 1: was extreme. They shut down the running game and then
Speaker 1: they said, you know what, Sam, go ahead and Dank
Speaker 1: and Dunk get it, get what you can, but we're
Speaker 1: not gonna give up the big play over our heads.
Speaker 1: And that was a credit to the Dolphins defense. So
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, it's it's and John is as
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You gotta kind of like watching, uh watching
Speaker 1: this football team, Adam Gays, um Dal Loggins calling, you know,
Speaker 1: putting this offense together. It just seems like they've got
Speaker 1: so many with Albert Wilson, with Jachim With, with Danny
Speaker 1: uh With with with with Grant with um uh with,
Speaker 1: You've got so many different guys that you could put
Speaker 1: in different spots, and and and just and just take advantage.
Speaker 1: And I was reading some some of the quotes from people,
Speaker 1: he's had so many mismatches out there gets us and
Speaker 1: they're like mad sciences and they've gotta be happy at
Speaker 1: how happiest can be to have the the versatility within
Speaker 1: the guys that they've got that are very good players.
Speaker 1: From the base formation anyway, I think I think you
Speaker 1: go from the base formation, and then Adam Gates knows
Speaker 1: he is interchangeable parts, so he can call any type
Speaker 1: of formation, whether that's a tight end running back, your
Speaker 1: your slot receiver or your wide receiver in that position,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Ryan Tannehill is going to make the
Speaker 1: call at the line of scrimmage now to say and
Speaker 1: dictate where the ball goes. So I think that plays
Speaker 1: into the play calling of Adam Gaze as a head coach.
Speaker 1: He's able to spread the football around only because he's
Speaker 1: got multiple formations at his disposal and different types, different
Speaker 1: body types running those routes from any one of those positions.
Speaker 1: So it allows you that flexibility at a quarterback to
Speaker 1: say it doesn't really matter, I don't have to have
Speaker 1: my slot receiver line up in the slot formation. I
Speaker 1: can have a running back, I can have a tight end.
Speaker 1: I can split out those guys as well. And now
Speaker 1: it's on me. Where's my best matchup with speed and
Speaker 1: where I think I've got an advantage either height wise
Speaker 1: or speed wise or technique wise to to go deliver
Speaker 1: the football. Be pretty interesting to watch as the season
Speaker 1: goes along, how this offense kind of morphs into tay
Speaker 1: you taking advantage of all the all the varieties. The
Speaker 1: one thing we didn't talk about is, uh, you gotta
Speaker 1: congratulate Frank Gore. Man, that's number four on the all
Speaker 1: time rushing list. Who's in front of him, Walter Payton,
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders and uh and Emmett Smith. Not not a
Speaker 1: bad not not a bad group to be uh be
Speaker 1: included in Yeah, what what a what a guy? Number one?
Speaker 1: You know what a what a great professional football player
Speaker 1: and gentleman? Is Frank Gore number one? And number two?
Speaker 1: What is spectacular career he's had and having and what
Speaker 1: a contribution he's going to be able to make this
Speaker 1: year for the Miami Dolphins, not only running the football
Speaker 1: but saving the day with a shoestring catch. I mean,
Speaker 1: Ryan's trying to throw it around arms, and he's he's
Speaker 1: got a you know, a couple of verticals going down field.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like it. Everybody drops off, and now he
Speaker 1: finds twenty one who recognized his guy kind of blitz
Speaker 1: but didn't really blitz. He's just hanging around. Make me
Speaker 1: a viable outlet. He kind of slides out to the
Speaker 1: left and Ryan throws it a round an arm and
Speaker 1: scoops it off of his shoes. It was not an
Speaker 1: easy I thought he was looked looked like Ryan had
Speaker 1: a clean passing lane. But when he started to come forward,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's a hand and it was
Speaker 1: almost I was almost thought he almost thought he hit
Speaker 1: the arm and forced the ball down. It was almost
Speaker 1: like he was shooting a free throw bow, you know,
Speaker 1: just goes at the end exactly. He had a ducket
Speaker 1: around an arm or a hand. So the ball comes
Speaker 1: down low, Frank picks it almost off the turf and
Speaker 1: third and nineteen and he gets right at the plate.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was funny because somebody asked him.
Speaker 1: Somebody asked him in the press conference after the Frank,
Speaker 1: why is it why does it seem like whenever you
Speaker 1: make a big run for a first down, if it's
Speaker 1: a four, if it's if it's four yards to get there,
Speaker 1: you get four and a half. If it's nineteen, you
Speaker 1: get nineteen and a half. I don't know, but he
Speaker 1: just happens that way. You know what it is. It's
Speaker 1: the guy who knows where the sticks are, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: And he wanted to make a big cut to like,
Speaker 1: you know, make it even bigger. But I'm just glad
Speaker 1: he did it nineteen and a half yards down the field. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it was. I tell he's a He's a remarkable
Speaker 1: guy to watch. I watch him on the sideline and
Speaker 1: when when the offense is in there, I think he's
Speaker 1: in Adams getting every every play. Coach, give me a,
Speaker 1: coach give me and coach give me a coach give
Speaker 1: me in. Probably probably becomes annoying to coach Gage, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna live with that with Frank Gore, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. But it's funny. What it was funny is
Speaker 1: when when the team goes on defense, then he starts
Speaker 1: to wander and he just looks like cool as a cucumber,
Speaker 1: Like he's like he's at a park or something. You know,
Speaker 1: no big deal. There's watering around here and there, and
Speaker 1: I just look at him, go, man, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a guy that's just so comfortable and and so happy
Speaker 1: where he's at right now. And uh. And the other
Speaker 1: thing is he just like he said, he's a he's
Speaker 1: just a good man, just a good good man. You know,
Speaker 1: I've I've seen him. He used to go to the gym,
Speaker 1: and he'd be at the gym and people will come
Speaker 1: up to him. Never never never turned anybody away, always
Speaker 1: had a nice thing to say. He'd be stop, spend
Speaker 1: some time with him. And and last night yesterday, comes
Speaker 1: up in the uh, the podium talking and um, and
Speaker 1: one of the guys, Adam Beasley from Harold, asked him,
Speaker 1: what's that who's that picture on your on your on
Speaker 1: your chain? Well that's my mother, And you just go, man,
Speaker 1: what what? How? How good can this guy be? You know,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a pleasure to have him around other
Speaker 1: players and a pleasure just to be around him as
Speaker 1: you know, part of the media because you get to
Speaker 1: see him and he's he's real. You know, he's a
Speaker 1: guy that kind of wears his emotions out there and
Speaker 1: kind of tells it like it is. And it's refreshing
Speaker 1: because there's no agenda, you know. It just asked me
Speaker 1: a question, I'll give you an answer, and it's honest
Speaker 1: and uh. And it's good to see a guy that
Speaker 1: works as hard as he does in his craft. Uh
Speaker 1: be where he is when it when it's all said
Speaker 1: and done. You know, you hope that he's in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame because of of what he did as
Speaker 1: a player. I was talking to I was talking to
Speaker 1: Dr reeby the team, uh surgeon who does mean a
Speaker 1: lot of the orthopedic work for the team and and
Speaker 1: he's known Frank since since high school and uh, and
Speaker 1: we're talking and I said, and we're talking out. You know,
Speaker 1: Frank had two devastating knee injuries at the University of Miami.
Speaker 1: Won a great rookie, great freshman running backs. I think
Speaker 1: he was average ten points something must per carry, you know.
Speaker 1: And he was ahead of he was head of Willis mcgahey.
Speaker 1: And he also he was ahead of one of the
Speaker 1: one of the Clinton porters for one of them and
Speaker 1: when they were they were aheaded. So and then so
Speaker 1: he has and so I asked the doctor in the
Speaker 1: size I said, Doc, because we were talking about Frank
Speaker 1: goes Yeah, man, he's done all this because after he
Speaker 1: broke the record, done all this on those knees. I said,
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question. Did you operate on
Speaker 1: his knees at you am? He said, yeah? I go
Speaker 1: how bad Worthy's horrible? Horrible, two of the worst kneesy scene.
Speaker 1: And the guy goes on to have a career like this.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's estiment to hard work and getting
Speaker 1: himself back and mentally, I think Frank's as tough as
Speaker 1: they come, as well John did. So this team is
Speaker 1: it's you know, you know, you don't want to get
Speaker 1: ahead of yourself. You really don't want to get ahead
Speaker 1: of yourself because you look at the look at the Jets.
Speaker 1: Jets come off a week where where they you know,
Speaker 1: they play a great game to get things going, and
Speaker 1: then the next week, you know, so what steps up
Speaker 1: and slugs him in the mouth, you know, and you
Speaker 1: have to so you you got to expect that. You
Speaker 1: gotta expect that every week that someone's gonna come up
Speaker 1: and and hit you with a hey Maker and you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to bounce back. And I think you've got
Speaker 1: to go that way with this Raider football team. But
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to us, talking to guys
Speaker 1: on the way back and the play and something, I
Speaker 1: I just something about this football team. I really like them.
Speaker 1: I think this offense is I think this I think
Speaker 1: we've seen probably from an output standpoint, I'm say because
Speaker 1: there's a lot. I think there's a lot of room
Speaker 1: to grow. There's some plays out there, plays out there,
Speaker 1: and I think to your point, but I think that's
Speaker 1: why this team feels the way they They're very happy
Speaker 1: about winning their first two football games. But when you
Speaker 1: watch yourself on film, there's no way you could go
Speaker 1: back to the locker room or go back home and go, hey,
Speaker 1: we're as good as we're gonna be right now. It's
Speaker 1: not even close. It's not close. So that's why I
Speaker 1: think the coaching staff is instilling that in the players.
Speaker 1: I think the players know that themselves. They're not in
Speaker 1: this business to fool themselves. They can take a look
Speaker 1: and watch and go. You know, I if I throw
Speaker 1: that pass a little bit more inside or a little
Speaker 1: bit more on target, that's another six points. If I
Speaker 1: make this block for a hair longer, it springs Drake
Speaker 1: or gore for another fifteen or twenty. Who knows he
Speaker 1: could still be running. If I make this cut on
Speaker 1: this on this route and and do it the way
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to, I should be in position better position
Speaker 1: to catch the football. There's a lot of things out there,
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive side, that have have a long
Speaker 1: way to go for it to be close to being
Speaker 1: where they wanted to be. To your point there, there's
Speaker 1: there's virtually everybody you talked to said I can do better.
Speaker 1: It's not you know, it's not all yeah, yeah, I look, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah you did this, you did that, Yeah
Speaker 1: I did, but but I still got a lot of
Speaker 1: things I gotta get better at. And it's you know,
Speaker 1: you hear that sometimes from one guy, two guys. This
Speaker 1: team everybody's on that same page. Um. And I think
Speaker 1: a lot of the residual of last year and the disappointment,
Speaker 1: you know, and how things were and and and so
Speaker 1: I think they've learned that they can't be happy where
Speaker 1: they're at. They just gotta in a lot of people
Speaker 1: say it, a lot of people can can talk it.
Speaker 1: But when you watch this teamwork, I think they're working
Speaker 1: in that on that progression each and every single day
Speaker 1: to get that much better each and every week. And
Speaker 1: I could see I don't know, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know where this team is gonna be ten weeks
Speaker 1: into the season. But I guarantee at some point you're
Speaker 1: gonna talking we still gotta get better, We still got
Speaker 1: to get better. We still gotta get better. And I
Speaker 1: think that their attitude, they're they're mentally tough, and the
Speaker 1: young kids on this team, they're used to winning football games.
Speaker 1: They're not used to losing. So it starts to get
Speaker 1: contagious after a while, no matter how you win. You
Speaker 1: know how many times have we looked at the Patriots
Speaker 1: over the last ten, twelve, fifteen years ago, Wow, they
Speaker 1: played they played really crappy today, but they won. You
Speaker 1: know that wasn't you know? They didn't really play great,
Speaker 1: they ended up winning. Well. I don't care if the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins are that way for a while, as long
Speaker 1: as they find a way to win and know that
Speaker 1: they've got some limitations that they need to improve on,
Speaker 1: or some things that they need to correct to get
Speaker 1: to be closer to perfect or closer to better or
Speaker 1: closer to great. I don't really care whatever scenario you
Speaker 1: want to put on it. But there's been some games now,
Speaker 1: two games in a row that Tholtins played pretty well.
Speaker 1: They didn't play their best, but they found a way
Speaker 1: to win. And that's the most important thing you can
Speaker 1: say at the end of a Sunday or a Thursday
Speaker 1: or a Monday night. Yeah, two and oh and and
Speaker 1: and and you know that you've got stuff to improve on.
Speaker 1: You know you want to get better at all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I'm I'm I'm happy with it. Uh
Speaker 1: you know, the new coaches and I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just says there's a lot of good a lot
Speaker 1: of good feeling. It feels like a team. It feels
Speaker 1: like a football team. It feels like the way it
Speaker 1: should feel. When it doesn't really matter individually, how the
Speaker 1: hell you did it matters collectively? Did we win? And
Speaker 1: it is that? Is that the most important thing. Was
Speaker 1: it about me catching ten passes or getting three sacks
Speaker 1: or being able to boast about a kickoff return? Did
Speaker 1: we win? Yes? How did we win? What we played
Speaker 1: average and we played a little bit better than average.
Speaker 1: How do we win our next game? You gotta correct
Speaker 1: these things? Did play better did we win? Yes? How
Speaker 1: did we win? You know, it's all about those things
Speaker 1: and kind of self scouting yourself because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, this this feels like it's a collective effort.
Speaker 1: Doesn't Let's talk about Ryan a little bit, because I
Speaker 1: think Ryan would be the first guy to tell you
Speaker 1: and he and he when he stepped to the podium,
Speaker 1: I gotta play a lot better. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: things I've got to do better. I think he held
Speaker 1: onto the ball, I think a little bit too long.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think and I think, look, guy's
Speaker 1: been the guy hasn't played football in a year and
Speaker 1: a half and and he's playing at a pretty good
Speaker 1: level right now. And I think as he goes and
Speaker 1: starts getting a little more confidence, I think he's just
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit tentative and just just
Speaker 1: letting that ball go and throw it and and and
Speaker 1: so and and that's led to some sacks for him.
Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna get that comfort level way
Speaker 1: see it, throw it, and you're gonna start to see
Speaker 1: his game exceler I think there's a lot more left
Speaker 1: in Ryan Taniel and and the thing of saying he's
Speaker 1: the same way he he knows it, and he knows
Speaker 1: he's got to get better, and he will get better.
Speaker 1: And so I love upside that that that what he's
Speaker 1: gonna be in six weeks from now, I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be. I'd rather make an indication six weeks from now.
Speaker 1: How how how good Ryan Tannehill is for the Dolphins
Speaker 1: in this in two thousand and eighteen, Well, I think Ryan,
Speaker 1: you know, it is no different than probably ten other
Speaker 1: guys on the team watched the film said you know what,
Speaker 1: I can I can play a little bit better here.
Speaker 1: I should have gotten rid of the football there. I'm
Speaker 1: glad I tucked it and ran on this play. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good and there's probably a lot
Speaker 1: of things that he wants to improve on, one being
Speaker 1: his pocket awareness in terms of you know what, if
Speaker 1: I don't see anything and I don't like it, let
Speaker 1: me throw it away instead of taking this unnecessary hit
Speaker 1: or this unnecessary sack or you know whatever the scenario
Speaker 1: at the end of that play is. I think there
Speaker 1: was a lot of plays out there that Ryan Tannehill
Speaker 1: made that you go, wow, that was that was a
Speaker 1: good throw that that was a good read. Well, the
Speaker 1: ball he threw to to Derby, that was I mean,
Speaker 1: that was a long, long through a lot of people
Speaker 1: and it was it was it was a laser shot.
Speaker 1: And the good thing about that was he held onto
Speaker 1: it for the right reasons. He bought some time away
Speaker 1: from the line of scrim it's drifted to an area
Speaker 1: where he could actually see the you know, see the route.
Speaker 1: And then Derby did a great job of coming around
Speaker 1: the defender and making himself a viable target because he
Speaker 1: attacked the football. So there's a lot of good the
Speaker 1: guy throwing it and the guy catching it ended up
Speaker 1: being a touchdown. So yeah, if I said, you know,
Speaker 1: the couple of things you see over two weeks for
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, I think there's a lot of things to
Speaker 1: improve on, but there are a lot of things you
Speaker 1: can build on as well. Yeah, and it starts this
Speaker 1: week when they when they play the Raiders. When we
Speaker 1: got the Albert Wilson coming was breaking. Then we'll move
Speaker 1: on from there. Alright, joined by Albert Wilson Albert Day
Speaker 1: after the game of victory Monday here, Um, you know
Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're good wins. There were there were
Speaker 1: you know, wins that you in, Yester. It was a
Speaker 1: fun win, wasn't. I mean the whole day, especially playing
Speaker 1: you know, I know it's your first experience with the
Speaker 1: Dolphin as a Dolphin playing in in the Jets territory,
Speaker 1: and it's a big rivalry, been been so for a
Speaker 1: long time. And um to quiet the Jet fans down.
Speaker 1: It certainly was a lot of fun in the in
Speaker 1: that building yesterday. Yeah, it definitely was. Definitely was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. You. Um look at that game and um,
Speaker 1: your offense came out moving down the field, defense helping
Speaker 1: you were turnovers and stuff. Um, when you look at
Speaker 1: this offense and that you guys are in, it just
Speaker 1: seems like there are so many options for Adam Gays
Speaker 1: with you, guys with you, Jachim, all the different phase
Speaker 1: of the game, the different players where they can move
Speaker 1: them around. You. You like that variety, don't you? Yeah? Definitely, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, just definitely hard for two teams that just
Speaker 1: keen on one player. So when you have guys that
Speaker 1: can do it all, man, it definitely gives the defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator job to come with it. You win and you
Speaker 1: get a division win. Second game of the of the season, um.
Speaker 1: And and you know it's kind of like baseball you
Speaker 1: look at early in the season. Yeah, what you lose,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But you know those games doesn't matter
Speaker 1: when you play a division game, they're important to you.
Speaker 1: So to get a get a win in your first
Speaker 1: division game certainly got to make you guys feel good
Speaker 1: as a team as you start looking forward. And I
Speaker 1: know this is a week to week business, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the win this week certainly set you up
Speaker 1: going forward. Yeah, man, like you're saying, and those division
Speaker 1: wins are hard to come by. Um. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a definitely a physical game, and you know, to be
Speaker 1: on the road for our first division game and come
Speaker 1: out with the win, it definitely sets the tempo for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Even though it's week too,
Speaker 1: you know. You know, we we were definitely preparing ourselves
Speaker 1: to go week by week and then just go on
Speaker 1: one to know, but it definitely feels good getting that
Speaker 1: first one. You guys jump out to a lead, you
Speaker 1: get a seven nothing lead and then they throw the
Speaker 1: past to you. You're taking in for a touchdown fourteen
Speaker 1: and nothing to take us through that play, oh man.
Speaker 1: You know, uh, we came in Ryan seeing something um
Speaker 1: that that he liked, and he made a check, A great,
Speaker 1: a great check he made. Um it was a five
Speaker 1: five yard en route that I ran. He he actually
Speaker 1: got the ball to me. Um, he looked like, you know,
Speaker 1: he was going somewhe else with it and kind of
Speaker 1: like a no look past. So he got the ball
Speaker 1: with me, and you know, I was able to, you know,
Speaker 1: make catching. I think buster screen was was was on you?
Speaker 1: And when when did you know that that he wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna he wasn't gonna be a factor. Oh man, when
Speaker 1: I got him to stop his feet on the little
Speaker 1: hesitation move, I knew I was gonna be able to
Speaker 1: get to the corner. And and when I got up
Speaker 1: the sideline, I knew I was gonna be an in zone.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. We had the jackem Grant. We
Speaker 1: talked to him a while back and we're talking about
Speaker 1: his speed and he says, you know, I've been learning,
Speaker 1: I've been trying to learn to slow down a little bit.
Speaker 1: I've been trying to, you know, to give yourself another gear, right,
Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of what you're saying, right.
Speaker 1: You kind of had him a situation where you kind
Speaker 1: of slowed down so you could get that other gear
Speaker 1: to to get the separations. That what made a difference
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, definitely. Um, it was the same thing
Speaker 1: man when I first got in the league. Man, I
Speaker 1: just wanted to run and um, you know, a couple
Speaker 1: of guys that was ahead of me, Like Jarrey Macklin
Speaker 1: was like, it's not all about a foot race, so, um,
Speaker 1: you know, just some things like that you're trying to learn.
Speaker 1: You always want to outrun somebody. But when you've got
Speaker 1: two guys that can run good and you can make
Speaker 1: the other guys stop his feet, you know, you pretty
Speaker 1: much win. You were back in the wildcat a little
Speaker 1: bit and with a lot of different things doing trying
Speaker 1: to get you the ball a lot of ways, And
Speaker 1: it seems to me that that for you, that that
Speaker 1: makes a game fun. Yeah, definitely a lot of fun. Man.
Speaker 1: You know, to be able to you know, line up
Speaker 1: in the wildcat or or motion in the backfield and
Speaker 1: get a carry, you know, line up by wilde and
Speaker 1: get a catch it it definitely makes the game fun.
Speaker 1: But you know, whatever they need me to do, I'm
Speaker 1: down to do it. It seems like every time I
Speaker 1: turned around. Today, I'm looking at the picture of of
Speaker 1: you and and everyone there after the after the touchdown.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that that was that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: That that was. You know, you've seen celebrations and then
Speaker 1: some guys you out. That's you know that that to
Speaker 1: me one of the top tops because you bring you
Speaker 1: bring everybody in and I think that was kind of
Speaker 1: your point. Yeah, man, um, just getting the team. Man,
Speaker 1: it takes eleven people to make a play successful. Man.
Speaker 1: And and you know for for Ryan to to get
Speaker 1: to the checking the lineman to you know, to hold
Speaker 1: their blocks and you know, the receivers to you know,
Speaker 1: to get separations from from everybody else and clear things out.
Speaker 1: It takes a team effort. So um, you know for
Speaker 1: my first touchdown, you know, I kind of want to
Speaker 1: get everybody involved. Um, Like I was saying, I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It turned out to be a great picture.
Speaker 1: So um, you know that's that's when one of those
Speaker 1: things you want to frame and you know, have that
Speaker 1: that memory around forever. Hey. Um, you know it's it's
Speaker 1: funny after after the win against Tennessee and after this
Speaker 1: game up in New York, Um, everybody we talked to
Speaker 1: after the game. Everybody had the same sentiment about this
Speaker 1: football team, and it kind of goes along the line
Speaker 1: with you in the picture afterwards, how tight the team is,
Speaker 1: how you know, you know, talk about you lose Josh Sitton,
Speaker 1: Ted Larson comes in and then we're talking to those
Speaker 1: guys and they say, look, everyone loves Ted Larson. We're behind.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's you know, it's it seems
Speaker 1: to be cliche at times, but I think it really is.
Speaker 1: This team. You know, it looks like a really really
Speaker 1: very close whether you're wide receiver or a dB, whether
Speaker 1: you're an offensive alignment and a linebacker, it just seems
Speaker 1: like the bond and this football team somehow it's been
Speaker 1: forced to be really really strong at this point. Yeah, definitely. Um,
Speaker 1: we did a lot of things, you know, in all
Speaker 1: season that that just kind of built team chemistry, you know,
Speaker 1: man from just doing competition things in the bubble or
Speaker 1: you know, just going off off you know, site to
Speaker 1: to run hills with each other and you know, make
Speaker 1: make sure everybody's grinding at the same time, or you know,
Speaker 1: just going and doing team activities. We spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time with each other and um, you know, coaches
Speaker 1: preaching him. Man, it it takes a team to win
Speaker 1: the championship. Man, you know, you can't have this one
Speaker 1: or two good players that make plays and you might
Speaker 1: win a couple of games, but you know, the goal
Speaker 1: for us is you know, to win that ring. You know.
Speaker 1: And I know you look at you obviously look at
Speaker 1: your game tapes and look at the tapes of the
Speaker 1: teams you're getting ready to play. And I'm kind of
Speaker 1: been kind of looking around. Look watch most of the
Speaker 1: games that have been on this season. I can see
Speaker 1: and and it just seems to me that the league
Speaker 1: is turning into, uh, all about speed and athleticism. I
Speaker 1: think the rules have kind of dictated that. Hey, look
Speaker 1: it's you know, they're they're calling things tighter, especially you know,
Speaker 1: the dbs and receivers and quarterbacks and all the things.
Speaker 1: And it just seems to me that that those rule
Speaker 1: changes are making opening things up and the more speed
Speaker 1: and athleticism, which I think this football team has a
Speaker 1: lot of, it seems to be the formula. As I
Speaker 1: look around the league right now, the teams that are
Speaker 1: being successful, I have a lot of speed and a
Speaker 1: lot of athleticism and I would throw you guys in
Speaker 1: the bunch. Is one of those teams. Yeah, definitely. I
Speaker 1: feel like we have a lot of speed and a
Speaker 1: lot of athleticism on our team. And you know, coach
Speaker 1: does did a great job agetting a lot of guys
Speaker 1: in for camping, you know, having us compete early and um,
Speaker 1: and he's working out for us. You know, our offense,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a tempo, speed type of team, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to get in space, make guys, you know, make plays.
Speaker 1: And I think we have a lot of guys that
Speaker 1: can do that on the offense. And he's like a
Speaker 1: mad scientist, you know, you can see his mind kind
Speaker 1: of working there and these owly energies. I got your team,
Speaker 1: I got Albert, I got Damn. I can do this,
Speaker 1: I can do that. And I just think, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I think we're just seeing the tip of
Speaker 1: the iceberg of all the different mismatches that he's trying
Speaker 1: to create on a on a given game day. Definitely, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, mix mismatches is like the number one thing
Speaker 1: in this in this sport, you know, is finding your
Speaker 1: mismatches and having your guy beat the next guy and
Speaker 1: I feel like coach Coach did a good job of
Speaker 1: you know, just bringing in guys of doing that. So
Speaker 1: like me and Danny, you know, we're new to the bunch,
Speaker 1: but um mismatches, you know, we were able to do
Speaker 1: it all. You know motion, you know, just line up
Speaker 1: and straight go forward and you know, and not not
Speaker 1: only are we speeding and in athleticism. I feel like
Speaker 1: we have a tough, a tough bunch. Um. I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, our receivers, you know, we don't mind going
Speaker 1: there and getting low blocks in you know, you know,
Speaker 1: our tight ends and our office alignment is some some tough,
Speaker 1: some tough jokers. So you know, when you mix all
Speaker 1: three of those things, man, and you get somebody that's
Speaker 1: playing for the team, you know, you usually get success. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you look at the side of me. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm not out there with Kiko running around
Speaker 1: there and some of those. So if you got out there,
Speaker 1: you guys are learning to boom on people out there. Definitely, Man,
Speaker 1: they look really good. Man. I told every single one
Speaker 1: of them after the game, and we appreciate them holding
Speaker 1: it down in the second half of us. Man, them
Speaker 1: guys was finding around our game. Man, they set the
Speaker 1: tone early, you know the offense. You know when when
Speaker 1: you're playing on the road, you know, you you want
Speaker 1: to set the tone early and kind of get the
Speaker 1: crowd out of it so it can be a fair match.
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's what we did. You know,
Speaker 1: we talked last time you hear about growing up a
Speaker 1: Fort Piers and the Foster Home and all the things
Speaker 1: that you've done and and you're still your roots are
Speaker 1: still there. Uh this week you're bringing fifty kids to
Speaker 1: the game from four Pierce, from your from your relatives
Speaker 1: elementary school. Yeah. Man, Um, we had a pretty much
Speaker 1: the fs A test um that came around, and you know,
Speaker 1: the kids did a great job. And you know something
Speaker 1: our preachers is like education, and you know, for them
Speaker 1: to do a great job on the tests, I kind
Speaker 1: of want to reward them with something. So bringing fifty
Speaker 1: kids from c a more elementary school and four Piers
Speaker 1: up to the game, you know they'll be able to
Speaker 1: tellgate with with with um, with some of the some
Speaker 1: of the fans and you know, you know, have great time,
Speaker 1: listen to some music, you know, have fun, get to dance.
Speaker 1: Then they'll be able to get to watch the show.
Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll be able to put a show on
Speaker 1: for them, you know, leave them with something good probably
Speaker 1: for them for the vast majority of first time you'll
Speaker 1: ever beat in the NFL. I'd imagine all of them
Speaker 1: for the most part, right definitely, you know, like I
Speaker 1: told people, you know, coming from four pitch, you know,
Speaker 1: my first NFL game was was when I lined up,
Speaker 1: you know and put on past myself. So you know,
Speaker 1: for me to bring fit the kids from my hometown
Speaker 1: and giving them an opportunity, it's a blessing. Good for you, Albert,
Speaker 1: And it's been uh it's been great having your team
Speaker 1: so far, watching the first couple of games, and I
Speaker 1: know it's just gonna get better and better and you're
Speaker 1: gonna get more involved in this offense and show you
Speaker 1: some great things. Big touchdown, Yes, say it really helped,
Speaker 1: really really, you know, you're seven nothing, you're feeling all right,
Speaker 1: fourteen nothing like Okay, you can start rolling and doing
Speaker 1: it gives you an opportunity to a lot of different things.
Speaker 1: And it it certainly seemed like the that's the way the
Speaker 1: touchdown set up. And uh so it was fun watching
Speaker 1: and uh I want to see a lot more. Appreciate
Speaker 1: your stuff by problem, man, thanks for having me just
Speaker 1: keep flying around. Man, appreciate it. I God blessed. Alright.
Speaker 1: So h just got done talking to Albert Wilson, John
Speaker 1: and uh, what you know, another solid citizen man, another
Speaker 1: good guy bringing fifty kids from Fourth Pierce to the game.
Speaker 1: You know that where he grew up, and it's good
Speaker 1: to see. But boy, I'll tell you what, what an
Speaker 1: addition he's been to this football team. Talked about athletic
Speaker 1: ability and speed. Boy he brings he brings it in
Speaker 1: a big, big way. First time I saw him in
Speaker 1: the practice field, I thought, I just said, man, that
Speaker 1: kids fast. I've seen a lot of fast guys run
Speaker 1: around here. That kids fast. And you know what I
Speaker 1: think Adam Gason and Mike Tannebaum and Chris Greer had
Speaker 1: a plan for him not only to play slot, which
Speaker 1: is now wide receiver, which is now quarterback, which is
Speaker 1: now running back. I mean he's touching the football out
Speaker 1: of every position possible on the offensive side. And it's
Speaker 1: a good thing because it gives teams other formations and
Speaker 1: obstacles to prepare for during the week. He may not
Speaker 1: run it against the Raiders at home this this week.
Speaker 1: He may not line up in Wilson cat Okay, he
Speaker 1: might line up in something else. He might not line
Speaker 1: up at slot or wide out. He may line up
Speaker 1: just adjacent to the tight end, which will give the
Speaker 1: next team, you know, the new Patriots, something to think about.
Speaker 1: But he's so dynamic when he gets his hands on
Speaker 1: the football. And you mentioned that speed, that crossing road
Speaker 1: he caught for the touchdown. He just idled like Walter
Speaker 1: Payton just a second. He had both feet in the
Speaker 1: air and it seemed like he was floating right and
Speaker 1: then the defender stopped, but he couldn't start fast enough
Speaker 1: to catch Albert Wilson. So he gets his shoulders and
Speaker 1: hips lined up down the sidelines and he outraces everybody
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Beautiful to watch, and I'm not so
Speaker 1: sure a lot of guys could have made that play.
Speaker 1: You know him, And then you put Jachem Grant and
Speaker 1: then mixing. You know, it's funny. A year ago a
Speaker 1: training camp, we're talking about my own. You know, Jachem
Speaker 1: got catch punts and he doesn't catch those punks two
Speaker 1: punts on the ground during during preseason games, he's out
Speaker 1: of here and now you don't even think about him
Speaker 1: with punt now you think, hey, man, wide receiver, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. I mean he is. He's really built
Speaker 1: himself into you know, to me, you know, he may
Speaker 1: he may be one of, maybe one of the best
Speaker 1: players we have in this football team. Competitive, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, And I mean he's a better route runner.
Speaker 1: He catches it more consistently, both on punts and as
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. I love his enthusiasm and when he
Speaker 1: makes a play, it's not all about him. It's like,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's make another one. And it's funny, you know.
Speaker 1: During the off season, I mean, how many times with
Speaker 1: people talking to say, man, what are you gonna do
Speaker 1: without Jarvis Landry? They're gonna go rid of Jarvis Landry. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, two games in, I don't think the name
Speaker 1: is Jarvis Landry want And I'm not taking anything away
Speaker 1: from Jarvis. I love Jarvis, loved him as a player,
Speaker 1: loved his effort, like all a lot of things about him.
Speaker 1: You know, I could have done it with some of
Speaker 1: his extracurricular you know, penalties after the whistle stuff, but
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's that's him. That's the way he
Speaker 1: plays the game. But you know, the taking away a
Speaker 1: guy where he had a hundred and sixty targets and
Speaker 1: and moving those. Now those targets are being spread among
Speaker 1: a number of different guys, can do a lot of
Speaker 1: different things and can take it to the house anytime
Speaker 1: they get their hands on it. Uh. It really has
Speaker 1: gotta It really has given this whole offense a completely
Speaker 1: different personality. You know what's funny, But for four years
Speaker 1: I said consistently, Jarvis Landry is the best football player
Speaker 1: on this team, on the Miami Dolphins, and I and
Speaker 1: I still believe that. I still believe he was the
Speaker 1: best football player on his team. Now you take him
Speaker 1: out of the equation, and you see how the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins are spreading the football around and they're more difficult
Speaker 1: to defend than when the best football player on the
Speaker 1: team was playing and catching a Hunter passes a year
Speaker 1: or averaging Hunter passes receptions a year. It's very tough
Speaker 1: to take a player like that and not say I
Speaker 1: want to get the football to him in this situation
Speaker 1: that situation. Now, it doesn't really matter. It's whoever lines
Speaker 1: up there, you're gonna get the ball and whoever, whatever
Speaker 1: formation you're in. The ball is not dictated by player,
Speaker 1: It's dictated by coverage. And I think that's a lot
Speaker 1: different for quarterback. It's a lot easier for play caller
Speaker 1: number number two and number three. Everybody's alive. There's it's
Speaker 1: not they're not breaking the huddle or going into hurry
Speaker 1: up saying well, I got zero chance of getting the
Speaker 1: ball in this play because I know where it's gone
Speaker 1: all week. Now, everybody's alive, and I think that brings
Speaker 1: a little bit more competitive energy to the whole room
Speaker 1: because you never know when your number is gonna be ready,
Speaker 1: and if you're not, the next guy's coming in to
Speaker 1: take your spot. So you got the Raiders coming in
Speaker 1: this week. Uh, kind of hope it's hot. I think
Speaker 1: it will. Those black jerseys on for those guys out
Speaker 1: here coming from no humidity in northern California, believe, but
Speaker 1: I know what that's like to come out here and
Speaker 1: try to play. Chucky is gonna be sweating on the side.
Speaker 1: Chucky should be sweating right now. Gett a hunder million
Speaker 1: dollars and team mark Mark Davis said he may need
Speaker 1: to get that bowl cut a little different. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe over his eyes and here, yeah your eyes, your
Speaker 1: eyes and because this one could be ugly, my friend,
Speaker 1: you know, but uh, you know you still got that
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Seawan Lynch, you know cover you know I was.
Speaker 1: I was always looking forward to seeing Khalil mac play.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm not going to see a play later years,
Speaker 1: not not this week. But uh, another great opportunity for
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Another home game. Come in, one o'clock game.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be warm, um and and John. I don't
Speaker 1: think this team. I don't think this team is going
Speaker 1: to be reading their you know, their their press clippings
Speaker 1: and and and listening to Look, they didn't listen when
Speaker 1: they say they were gonna this team is the worst
Speaker 1: team in the National Football League. When the national media now,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna start saying, hey, look look what we
Speaker 1: told you so, we told you so, because this team
Speaker 1: knows that they they're not that good of a football
Speaker 1: team where they can just roll their helmets out in
Speaker 1: the football field and win a game. And they know
Speaker 1: that and they'll play like that. No, I think you're
Speaker 1: right now. Watching the Raiders play at home against the
Speaker 1: Rams earlier looks like that first drive, You're going, Wow,
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna bring the Rams down, you know,
Speaker 1: making a four quarter game, and then the Rams kind
Speaker 1: of took over the game and one and then this week,
Speaker 1: you know, they go on the road to Denver, they're
Speaker 1: up twelve nothing. I think, you know, midway through that
Speaker 1: game and found a way not to hang on. So
Speaker 1: you're right, they're gonna come in looking scratching, calling anyway,
Speaker 1: they can get a road victory in a tough environment
Speaker 1: here at hard Rock Stadium, and I think it should
Speaker 1: be a fun environment. This is a team now that
Speaker 1: in the Dolphins have a lot of excitement around it,
Speaker 1: and I think the fans will respond at home. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be hot. I think it's gonna be humid,
Speaker 1: And it's one of those things where, again, bo, if
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins can get on an Owen two team
Speaker 1: early and have that little doubt creep in to the
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders sidelines and here we go again, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think that's where the Dolphins want to play. Well.
Speaker 1: I looked to me, this is this is one of
Speaker 1: those games. This is one of those games where you're
Speaker 1: walking that offensive line room and say, this game's on you, guys,
Speaker 1: This game is on you guys. We're not gonna throw
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, we're gonna throw the ball. We
Speaker 1: have to if we if we could run the ball
Speaker 1: every down, we run the ball every down. Where these
Speaker 1: guys the way Tennessee looked when we were on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: You know, Joe's just watching that game before that first
Speaker 1: before that first lightning break, they were right. And I
Speaker 1: think a lot a lot to be said about the
Speaker 1: way the offensive line laid on him and played on
Speaker 1: him and just grinded, you know, on that on that
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, you being able to move people against
Speaker 1: their will, and it gets a little bit easier in
Speaker 1: the second half you can consistently do so I think
Speaker 1: that's the I think, you know, that's where I'm down
Speaker 1: up front. Take your chances where you can with the
Speaker 1: big plays in that defense. I just I just think
Speaker 1: it's a it's a good sense. It's a good situation
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. Have the Raiders coming now, John, we
Speaker 1: talked to We talked about all the all the Dolphin
Speaker 1: fans that were in New York. Raiders have a pretty
Speaker 1: good national following. Two so so they're gonna come out
Speaker 1: and they're black and gray and and and do their
Speaker 1: black and silver and do the whole thing. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: so you know it's um. But look, I love those environments.
Speaker 1: Give me, give me a combative environment every football game.
Speaker 1: Give me the energy in the in the building, and
Speaker 1: it just makes it that much easier to play. I
Speaker 1: don't care who's scream and I don't care what they're saying.
Speaker 1: But but as long as there's big energy in the stadium,
Speaker 1: I think you get big games out. And you know what,
Speaker 1: it says a lot for Dolphin fans after that. You
Speaker 1: know the two delays two weeks ago, there was you know,
Speaker 1: a handful was the fans hanging right. It sounded like
Speaker 1: it was pretty full because those guys got up there
Speaker 1: on their feet and they were yelling and screaming, having
Speaker 1: a good time and cheering for their team. Imagine if
Speaker 1: that that place is sold out on Sunday, which it
Speaker 1: should be, it's gonna be a great environment. Taking someone
Speaker 1: in New York and they go geese. Must have been
Speaker 1: nobody left in the game. I said, now, I said,
Speaker 1: come to the contract. I said, everybody came down to
Speaker 1: the bottom. Then the Dolphins did a great Hey, come
Speaker 1: on down, bring everyone down. People got to get down
Speaker 1: and get down to the lower level. But they're like
Speaker 1: you said, there were twenty some thousand people there at
Speaker 1: the end that game, still making a lot of noise.
Speaker 1: And then that kind of commitment is it's something that
Speaker 1: you know he as a player, you want to have
Speaker 1: fans like that, and you hope it's like that on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You give him something to cheer about early in the
Speaker 1: game and make it just be so tough on Oakland
Speaker 1: to communicate offensively and make play if you can grind
Speaker 1: if you can grind them offensively, like we said, and
Speaker 1: put pressure on on on Derek Carr like like they
Speaker 1: did early on on Sam Donald, because he's a good
Speaker 1: quarterback and he's gonna he's gonna make some places for
Speaker 1: They've got some good receivers to throw the ball to.
Speaker 1: Um you know, you've you've gotta you've gotta put pressure
Speaker 1: on him and get him moving around the pocket and
Speaker 1: doing all those things. So if you can run the football,
Speaker 1: get that front seven doing what they did like and
Speaker 1: you know the good thing about this front seven to
Speaker 1: John is a lot of the pressure they got was
Speaker 1: just rushing four guys. It's not like you gotta send
Speaker 1: you know, send actress. So you don't gotta send the
Speaker 1: army after everyone. Well, you've got four guys that can
Speaker 1: get the job done. You know, looking at that Rams
Speaker 1: game when the Raiders played at home on Monday night,
Speaker 1: they shut the rundown pretty fast after that first series.
Speaker 1: If the Dolphins can do that to Marshawn Lynz and
Speaker 1: make Oakland one dimensional even with talented quarterback and you know,
Speaker 1: you know, got talented a couple of wide receivers outside,
Speaker 1: at least they feel like they can win with four
Speaker 1: and possibly five getting to the quarterback because it just
Speaker 1: gives you, you know, it gives you so coverage. More yea,
Speaker 1: more more things do come. You can you can disguise
Speaker 1: a little more because you know, if you get that
Speaker 1: depression and the guy and that's where you get the
Speaker 1: guy throwing somewhere where guy just pops up and that guy,
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't see him any You didn't see
Speaker 1: him because someone's on the side of your head where
Speaker 1: you're going the other way. But um, yeah, I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to the raid that it's not gonna be a look,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be an easy test. But you know,
Speaker 1: I want to see this team get tough football teams
Speaker 1: coming and Raiders is gonna be a tough, physical football team.
Speaker 1: You know, let's let's get through this. Let's let's fight
Speaker 1: through this. Let's be as tough as them, and and
Speaker 1: in fact, you know, let's let's out tough m on
Speaker 1: our in our own backyard. Yeah. Those are always good
Speaker 1: indicators of how your football team is gonna be when
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the effort, you don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about the enthusiasm you play with. And
Speaker 1: it's it's it's created by execution on in all three phases.
Speaker 1: That's the way the Dolphins have gotten to to it.
Speaker 1: And you know the other things. Adam talked about it
Speaker 1: a little bit after the Tennessee game. Um, and I
Speaker 1: think he's done a good job of creating a home
Speaker 1: field advantage for the football team. There's an advantage with
Speaker 1: the heat and this and that and the other. The
Speaker 1: visitors are sitting in the sun while the Dolphins are
Speaker 1: in the shade, all that type of thing. But he's
Speaker 1: talking about going out and owning your turf, going out
Speaker 1: and and you know, every home every home game. You
Speaker 1: should be shocked when I remember we played in the
Speaker 1: Orange Bowl and you never thought about losing when you launched.
Speaker 1: What how the hell did that happen? You know, because
Speaker 1: you're so you're you're just so profortable to it and
Speaker 1: you're you're it's it's We had this conversation. I was
Speaker 1: having this conversation um during the during the preseason, and
Speaker 1: we're talking about, well, you know, is it important to
Speaker 1: win preseason games? And you know, a couple of guys
Speaker 1: said no, no, And I said to me, it is,
Speaker 1: especially for a young football team like this, because I
Speaker 1: believe and I remember coaching like saying like, well, how
Speaker 1: come you? How come you? How come you? It's important
Speaker 1: you to win football games? He said, For me, it's
Speaker 1: important to win every game we play. You you needed
Speaker 1: for a young team like this. To me, it's about
Speaker 1: learning how to win. Whether it's a preseason game, whether
Speaker 1: it's a scrimmage, whatever it is, learn how to win.
Speaker 1: Because if you learn how to win, then it becomes
Speaker 1: the norm for you and you and when you don't,
Speaker 1: it hurts and it's unexpected and you and you fight back.
Speaker 1: And I think this team is starting to develop that
Speaker 1: kind of mentality at home, and this is just another
Speaker 1: opportunity to kind of start cementing that that, Hey, you're
Speaker 1: gonna come into a hard rock stadium. You know you better,
Speaker 1: you better pack your lunch, and you better get ready
Speaker 1: and get some ice over the sideline because you're gonna
Speaker 1: feel this one. Well, what did Don Shula have in
Speaker 1: his mind? He he had a championship mentality in his
Speaker 1: mind and that's the way he coached. I mean for
Speaker 1: throughout throughout his career, everywhere he was at, especially when
Speaker 1: he got on the run with the Miami Dolphins, he
Speaker 1: instilled a championship mentality that good enough wasn't the wasn't
Speaker 1: the norm. It was the you know, it was the championship.
Speaker 1: That was the ultimate goal. And what did it take
Speaker 1: to get there? It takes physically, it takes talent, but
Speaker 1: mentally it probably takes a lot more toughness to get there.
Speaker 1: So it gives goes back to your point of saying,
Speaker 1: every time you put on that uniform, no matter where
Speaker 1: it's a scrimmage, it's a preseason game, it's a regular
Speaker 1: season it's or it's a championship game, you expect to
Speaker 1: win because you've prepared to do that. That's where the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins have a long road to get there. But
Speaker 1: at least they didn't play their best in weeks one
Speaker 1: and two, but they found a way to win to
Speaker 1: keep that edge going. And John quite frank that they
Speaker 1: may not get there this year, that they may not
Speaker 1: get to that level where you want to be. But
Speaker 1: as as long as they're and I but I believe
Speaker 1: they're heading in that direction. And and you know this
Speaker 1: is a long term. Look, you know, I think Adams
Speaker 1: a long term guy. It's as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: It's not the guys we had before two or three
Speaker 1: years out. A guy can't you see a bill, you
Speaker 1: see a plan, You see things coming to fruition with
Speaker 1: Adam Games and may take them. You may take him
Speaker 1: a couple of years to until we're to hard rock
Speaker 1: stage in place where Gez I don't want to go down.
Speaker 1: Play there. Well, you know, we get our asses kicked there.
Speaker 1: It's like we used to play the Raiders. We went
Speaker 1: out there, we knew we were gonna get our asses kick.
Speaker 1: We knew we were gonna get our this kick, and
Speaker 1: you know what happened. We went out but we knew
Speaker 1: this when they came to came to the Origin Bowl,
Speaker 1: they were gonna get their asses kicked. And when they came,
Speaker 1: they got their asses kicked. I don't think Adam and
Speaker 1: his crew wants to be told what they can't do.
Speaker 1: That's right, and I think that's a good mentality to have.
Speaker 1: And so it's another opportunity this week to kind of
Speaker 1: to established that again, the home field advantage. And I'm
Speaker 1: looking I you know, I love, I love when the
Speaker 1: Raiders come to town. You know, I grew up a
Speaker 1: right in the mayor, right in the middle of the
Speaker 1: forty Niners and the Raiders, so watch both of them.
Speaker 1: I used to love that attitude that the Raiders have,
Speaker 1: and I know, I know, uh Gruden's trying to get
Speaker 1: them back to that, but uh, you know, until they
Speaker 1: get the U it's in two weeks. Yeah, hopefully it's
Speaker 1: in two weeks. But looking forward to seeing them come
Speaker 1: to town. But I'm more looking forward to seeing this
Speaker 1: football team, the Miami Dolphins, and seeing them continue to grow.
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to see how are they gonna win
Speaker 1: this week? John? How are they gonna win this week?
Speaker 1: Are they gonna do it? You know? Maybe they don't
Speaker 1: get as many turnovers, but maybe you get big plays.
Speaker 1: You know, I believe they're gonna win. Yeah, exactly. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. All right. We'll be hopefully next week
Speaker 1: when we're on the Audible week, hopefully Joe will be here.
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's gonna come show up. We'll be talking. If
Speaker 1: the Dolphins keep winning, we may want to keep Joe
Speaker 1: out of here. We might have to get you may
Speaker 1: have to get some questions from the fans about Yeah,
Speaker 1: we may have you guys might have to send some
Speaker 1: questions in Joe or no go or no go. We'll
Speaker 1: find out. We'll talk about that next week. Thanks for listening.
