Speaker 1: All right, it's a it's a Christmas ea audible here
Speaker 1: today on the program, Kimbo Camper, John con gem me
Speaker 1: with you. Um, I want to I hope everyone had
Speaker 1: a nice Christmas. I hope all there everything's looking forward
Speaker 1: to a happy new year. But I'm pretty disgusted right now. John,
Speaker 1: I think it's written all over your face. It's I
Speaker 1: discussed all over my face. That and the fact that
Speaker 1: I'm that in the fact I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: how I'm gonna pay all these bills for my daughters
Speaker 1: for their Christmas. Uh, the Christmas. You know, my daughters
Speaker 1: that wasn't written years old. Two miamies is seven. And
Speaker 1: they just get more and more and more expensive every year,
Speaker 1: and it's it's getting out of control. Now, you know what.
Speaker 1: I've got twenty six and twenty four in my house,
Speaker 1: and it seems like it does the same thing. The
Speaker 1: bigger when would they say when we were just young parents, Right,
Speaker 1: the bigger they get, the bigger the problems you'll have. Well,
Speaker 1: now they're in their twenties and you're just crusting on
Speaker 1: the thirties and it's still getting larger. Right, Yeah, It's
Speaker 1: like I want to purse? What do you want to Louise?
Speaker 1: Your talking about what Louis? Who wants Louis's hang? Where
Speaker 1: do you go to? Where you go to to Kmar
Speaker 1: to get that? I want this one? I'm like, I've
Speaker 1: never heard of this one. Yeah, I need one for
Speaker 1: my friend. It's just not one for winter, and I
Speaker 1: need one for the fall now, you know. It's one
Speaker 1: of those kinds of things. So anyway, but I hope
Speaker 1: everyone had had a great Christmas. I hope that there
Speaker 1: you have a happy New Year looking forward. But let's
Speaker 1: let's kind of get to the fact at hand. And
Speaker 1: in the Miami Dolphins and and and John, it's funny,
Speaker 1: you know, you lose that game, and to me it
Speaker 1: was just a just a total disappointing game from start
Speaker 1: to you know, you get you come out in the
Speaker 1: first series, you just boom take you know, we all right,
Speaker 1: and you guys are jumping around and you can see
Speaker 1: then and then they come down saying you, hey, look
Speaker 1: this is that's fine. It's gonna be a twenty, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a thirty two, thirty four games something like that.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a high scoring game. And then boom,
Speaker 1: the brakes went on both sides of the team, but
Speaker 1: but both sides of the field. But boy, the Dolphins
Speaker 1: the inability offensively to really just get anything going. And
Speaker 1: the only time they had drives going, they hit a
Speaker 1: big I think there was a thing like a third
Speaker 1: and seventeen that they converted. Boom, then you get a
Speaker 1: penaltally comes back. I think there were three times where
Speaker 1: they converted for pretty good third down situations only to
Speaker 1: have penalties call them back and and ultimately stalled the drives.
Speaker 1: You know, it was funny watching that game because, as
Speaker 1: you said in the beginning of the game, when the
Speaker 1: Dolphins took the opening drive and they went down and
Speaker 1: they you know, get to shovel pass and it looked
Speaker 1: like and they even overcame a penalty in that drive,
Speaker 1: you know, down deep in the red zone and they
Speaker 1: were able to find a way to get into the
Speaker 1: end zone. You felt like, Okay, you know what this
Speaker 1: They're gonna take a four and ten team and they're
Speaker 1: gonna punch him right in the face and they're gonna
Speaker 1: do it all day long because this team only is
Speaker 1: looking for a reason to lay down, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: lay down. Well, Jacksonville comes back and they go down
Speaker 1: the field and they score and they tie it at seven.
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting next to Sam Madison. I said, Sam,
Speaker 1: better get your pillow out because that's it. You better
Speaker 1: get your pilled out because it's gonna be for two
Speaker 1: and a half quarters. A bunch of crap going on
Speaker 1: in between the thirties and maybe the twenties, but that's
Speaker 1: about it. And then whoever blinks, whoever has that bad
Speaker 1: fatal mistake, is going to find a way to over
Speaker 1: you know, one team is gonna overcome it, and one
Speaker 1: team is gonna take advantage of it and win a game.
Speaker 1: And he looked at me like I was crazy. So
Speaker 1: we're going to the post game and he looked at me.
Speaker 1: He nodded his head. He said, well, you were close parts.
Speaker 1: I said yeah. I said, I don't know why, but
Speaker 1: I don't know why after yeah. And and for the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: this goes back to the two weeks for the Dolphins
Speaker 1: to come out and play the way they did of
Speaker 1: lack of execution in terms of the little things. It's
Speaker 1: not the interception for a touchdown, it's not the you know,
Speaker 1: the fumbles, it's not it's it's the little things that
Speaker 1: add up during a game that gives the other team
Speaker 1: confidence or lets him hang around, or when you get
Speaker 1: back into a game, you just don't have that play
Speaker 1: off mentality, that that knockout mentality. And it goes back
Speaker 1: to just fundamental symbol mental fund mental discipline, and physical
Speaker 1: fundamentals that this team seems to When they're good, they
Speaker 1: really get you know, they'd get by. When they're not good,
Speaker 1: it's really exposed. And I don't know if that's because
Speaker 1: there's a ton of starters that aren't playing. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, mix and match on the team.
Speaker 1: I just don't know what that is, but but I'm
Speaker 1: with their everyone else. And look, the Dolphins have had,
Speaker 1: no question, we've had their fair share of injuries. And
Speaker 1: it seemed like for a while there, every week you're
Speaker 1: getting a gut punch by a big guy, you know,
Speaker 1: a big name, booming right off the bat. You get
Speaker 1: sit and kill Gore, uh William and then Wilson and
Speaker 1: then Wilson. It's so bang, bang bang, you're getting the
Speaker 1: gut punches. And then there was a little while where
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you start But having
Speaker 1: said that, I still don't think that's an excuse for
Speaker 1: where they're at or what their shortcomings have been. But
Speaker 1: and and and the other thing is it. Look, everyone
Speaker 1: in the league is deal. You have to go with
Speaker 1: the injuries and the way they can so so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take that off the board. Um, But I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I just I just to me, Um, and we're talking.
Speaker 1: I was talking with somebody after the game and we're talking.
Speaker 1: I think I was talking with Sam as we were
Speaker 1: walking out, and I said, Sam, I I just to me.
Speaker 1: It's the it's the attention to small details that make
Speaker 1: a big difference. And when I talk to when I
Speaker 1: talk about this, I always go back to I go,
Speaker 1: I go back to one of one day in New England.
Speaker 1: I'm watching and and and they're just just they're just
Speaker 1: dismantling this football team right the way that New England does,
Speaker 1: you know, on defense, playing small. I think it may
Speaker 1: have been the game where they did the fake punt
Speaker 1: on third and long, right, four and long and they
Speaker 1: run the winner. So now I start watching, I said,
Speaker 1: what's going So I'm watching one of their outside linebackers
Speaker 1: and the running back is in the backfield. He shifts
Speaker 1: out into the slot. So it's a linebackers man there,
Speaker 1: a man of man coverage. Linebackers got the back, so
Speaker 1: he goes out to cover him. Well, when he goes
Speaker 1: out to come him, he takes a heart inside technique.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's you're you're you're not coming through me.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna cover you from here to the sideline.
Speaker 1: I'm taking away the rest of the field, right, So
Speaker 1: I'm watching an okay, and and and look, I understand
Speaker 1: that because that's how I was taught to play the game,
Speaker 1: you know, take take something away from him. And so
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you know, we get down
Speaker 1: it's the third quarter or whatever, and I and I
Speaker 1: look at it. So now now New England does it.
Speaker 1: They take it back. They they put him on the slot.
Speaker 1: Our linebacker goes there, stands head up on him and
Speaker 1: gives him a two way go. And you're never gonna
Speaker 1: win that. And to me, when I say details, to me,
Speaker 1: those are the little details that make a big difference
Speaker 1: in the success of your football team. If you're not
Speaker 1: gonna pay attention to those details, then then then you're
Speaker 1: gonna be in the You're gonna be in the quagmire
Speaker 1: of of you know eight and eights is you know
Speaker 1: seven and nine was six and ten or whatever. To me,
Speaker 1: it's those teams. Those teams are always at ten, eleven,
Speaker 1: twelve wins. Their detail oriented details are important. Those things
Speaker 1: backside contain, you know, all these kind of things that
Speaker 1: you see. I I agree with you because it's it's
Speaker 1: not only it's hand placement on blocks, it's it's leverage,
Speaker 1: it's being able to take on a double team and
Speaker 1: that's your job and not worrying about who makes the tackle.
Speaker 1: That's your job. Do your job. And it comes down
Speaker 1: to those teams that are in the playoffs. Those teams
Speaker 1: that are successful in the playoffs, and those teams that
Speaker 1: that continually get there seem like they either have those
Speaker 1: types of players on their roster for quite a long time,
Speaker 1: and while they're on that roster, those players are developing
Speaker 1: other guys to have those traits and those work habits
Speaker 1: that continue on and they pass along a legacy of success.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have not had a legacy of success over
Speaker 1: the past ten, twelve, fifteen years. They've had some very
Speaker 1: brief reads of time when they've been up and most
Speaker 1: of the time they've been, you know, like the sea,
Speaker 1: they've been kind of rolling back and forth in between
Speaker 1: having a couple of really good weeks, win two or
Speaker 1: three in a row, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the bottom falls out, and and somebody or something has
Speaker 1: to be able to turn that around it. And and
Speaker 1: I don't have to look at my head coach or
Speaker 1: my owner or whoever it is. I gotta look in
Speaker 1: the mirror, because it comes down it's a players league.
Speaker 1: You can prepare, you can you can give them, you know,
Speaker 1: exotic plays, you can give them basic plays, but how
Speaker 1: they execute those things in all three phases is ultimately
Speaker 1: going to determine if I have a chance to win
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, because basically, you look at the
Speaker 1: Steelers in the Saints this past week, it's gonna come
Speaker 1: down to the fourth quarter and who makes a mistake.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins Jaguars come down to the fourth quarter and
Speaker 1: two mediocre teams are going at it, but somebody's gonna blink,
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna make a fatal mistake that the other team
Speaker 1: is in elite enough to find them, you know, a
Speaker 1: way around it. And that's just the NFL, yea it is.
Speaker 1: And in in the halves. To me, it's the halves
Speaker 1: are the discipline teams that that that do the small
Speaker 1: things and and do it right. And you talk about
Speaker 1: you know guys. To me, if I'm a coach and
Speaker 1: I've got a team and I've got the guys that
Speaker 1: are they pay attention to details, they may not be
Speaker 1: they may guy may not. I'll get an example. You know,
Speaker 1: I was a detailed guy when I played. They told
Speaker 1: me the two gap by two gap. They told me
Speaker 1: to be on the outside shoulder. I'm gonna do whatever
Speaker 1: I can to be on that outside shoulder. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna don't never cross the face. Never never run behind
Speaker 1: the defeat. Uh, someone's blocking, you always cross their face.
Speaker 1: Simple rules that And you know, you give me a
Speaker 1: real final I'm gonna stay. I'm a I'm a I
Speaker 1: grew up in a military family. That's what I tell you.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do exactly
Speaker 1: how you tell me to do it. And that's and
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna do. And so you do that.
Speaker 1: And and if you're that kind of person, if you're
Speaker 1: that kind of player, and so we drafted a kid
Speaker 1: from Syracuse. Mike Charles good player, big guy, strong guy,
Speaker 1: and I was kind of down at the end of
Speaker 1: my career. I'm just kind of, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: got tasted spit at the time to keep myself together.
Speaker 1: And I'm going, hey, this guy's gonna knock me out
Speaker 1: of my jib. But you know, instead of doing the details,
Speaker 1: he's trying to make big plays, he's throwing an arm
Speaker 1: over and you know when he's supposed to be too
Speaker 1: gaping and there goes a guy running on the outside.
Speaker 1: So so he never made that. He never he never, never,
Speaker 1: never knocked me off my pedestal because he was a
Speaker 1: better player than me at the time. But I know
Speaker 1: that coaching staff knew that I was gonna be exactly
Speaker 1: where I was supposed to be, and I learned, hey, look,
Speaker 1: being exactly where you're supposed to be sometimes doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you're gonna make the play, but it means you're gonna
Speaker 1: be a part of a part of the situation that
Speaker 1: allows somebody else to make that play. And there's value
Speaker 1: in that. So so if I'm a coach and I've
Speaker 1: got I'll keep all those guys, even though they may
Speaker 1: not be quite as talented as the next guy behind them.
Speaker 1: If I can't trust the next guy behind him to
Speaker 1: be where he's supposed to be when I need him
Speaker 1: to be there, you know. And and so there's a
Speaker 1: lot to be said about that. You see how you
Speaker 1: saund like how those guys stick around for what will
Speaker 1: they stick around for a long time because as a coach,
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about him. I don't have
Speaker 1: to worry because I know he's gonna be And and
Speaker 1: the smart players that are coming in to take those
Speaker 1: jobs and replace those guys see that. The ones that
Speaker 1: don't are gone anyway. The guys that see that and
Speaker 1: recognize that are the guys that follow in line that
Speaker 1: start getting more snaps, you know, because they're younger and
Speaker 1: they may be a little more affordable at certain times
Speaker 1: in the NFL the way it goes now, and those
Speaker 1: guys seem to hang around a little bit longer. And
Speaker 1: and you see that happen a lot in the National
Speaker 1: Football League, and you're just hoping that it starts happening
Speaker 1: a little bit more with the Miami Dolphins now. Especially,
Speaker 1: take for example, this year, where you had a lot
Speaker 1: of backups, you had a lot of guys that you
Speaker 1: get off the street. You had a lot of guys
Speaker 1: come in to play do too, guys you know, with injury.
Speaker 1: So now you have all this on tape and a
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity, and you've had some guys that have
Speaker 1: taken it vantage, you had some guys that didn't. One
Speaker 1: good example for me would be a guy that really
Speaker 1: showed up yesterday because of Keiko's injury. My call. You know,
Speaker 1: kind of an underachiever guy. You look at him walking
Speaker 1: down the street, You'd say he'd never play linebacker in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Now you watch him go practice,
Speaker 1: you watch him play, he's where he's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: A great example yesterday, he scraped off a block, got
Speaker 1: into his hole, uh you know, triggered, got up into
Speaker 1: the whole, made a tackle along with McMillan from the inside. Perfect.
Speaker 1: It was exactly the way it was drawn up. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was Ziggy or William. Somebody
Speaker 1: took a double team. There was a two way a go,
Speaker 1: but there were two backers in the hole. Perfect. Right.
Speaker 1: But that's a guy that watches that's a guy that
Speaker 1: came from a program that was you know, a linebacker
Speaker 1: eccentric program. And and he played that way, I guarantee
Speaker 1: you when he was a little kid, when he was
Speaker 1: in high school, and when he when he was in college,
Speaker 1: because that's the only way he was going to be
Speaker 1: able to stay or hang or advance was to go
Speaker 1: by be disciplined, disciplined, don't freelance. Do your job. And
Speaker 1: he did his job yesterday. And I think that I
Speaker 1: think that, you know, from a from a personality standpoint,
Speaker 1: I'd like to see this team move into that more
Speaker 1: of a personality type of thing. But you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, there's different things. As talking before
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockerman, who used to play for Jackson, I was
Speaker 1: talking to him before the game of Tony Baselli was down.
Speaker 1: There was talking to both of those guys and we're
Speaker 1: kind of talking about the old and said and just
Speaker 1: just you know, now, it's there's so much emphasis on
Speaker 1: rushing on on on whether it's sacking him or disturbing
Speaker 1: him whatever, just rushing the passer and and takeaway and
Speaker 1: and and stripping the ball, taking the ball. I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about the interception. Punch the ball out to the
Speaker 1: point where you know, now now pass rushers and I
Speaker 1: watched all the time where they're coming and boom they
Speaker 1: spin inside and there's nobody outside in the quarterback, you know,
Speaker 1: jumps outside, buys a little time, boom, can he completes
Speaker 1: playing moves down, you know, And I understand you want
Speaker 1: to get so but it's at you want to get there.
Speaker 1: You want to put the pressure on the quarterback, but
Speaker 1: you still have to play live by the rules a
Speaker 1: little bit. I don't know if he was Kessler or
Speaker 1: or Bordles, just say they did that exact same thing.
Speaker 1: Going towards the east end zone. We had a pass
Speaker 1: rusher come inside. I don't know if it was an
Speaker 1: end and tackle twist, but nobody came outside and they
Speaker 1: gave him the short side of the field. He rolled out,
Speaker 1: was able to you know, hit for net in the
Speaker 1: flat and almost scored the same thing on run, like
Speaker 1: with in running places where guys are they're supposed to
Speaker 1: be holding their edge and all of a sudden the
Speaker 1: guy maybe takes a dip inside and they just throw
Speaker 1: it away come inside and the guy bounced. It's just
Speaker 1: you know, it's and it's a it's a new era.
Speaker 1: And the other thing with the tackle is it Now
Speaker 1: you get see guys, they're coming up and the first
Speaker 1: thing you're doing is going for the ball and trying
Speaker 1: to maybe throw one arm around for a tackle, and
Speaker 1: and and so meanwhile the guy gains six or seven
Speaker 1: yards before they before you bring him to the down
Speaker 1: to the ground before he put you know, are the
Speaker 1: old rule that we used to go by was the
Speaker 1: first guy stands him up. Second guy then comes in
Speaker 1: and tries to dislodge the ball. Now it's a different philosophy.
Speaker 1: Now it's a different deal. But um, I think there's
Speaker 1: some value in the old school that's not being And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look, I'm not I'm not talking strictly about
Speaker 1: this team. I'm talking about across the board. When when
Speaker 1: I watched the National Football I watched one highlight uh
Speaker 1: from Sunday's games, and there was one defensive back that
Speaker 1: came from behind and punched the football out. It was
Speaker 1: a great play. But I guarantee you that one great play,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it lead to points or not,
Speaker 1: but that one play will lead to probably seventy hundred
Speaker 1: yards over the next four or five games of yards
Speaker 1: after contact because that guy's not going to get it
Speaker 1: every time, he's gonna fall off the running back because
Speaker 1: he's not really tackling him, he's just trying to get
Speaker 1: the ball out, and they're gonna stay on the field
Speaker 1: for four or five more first towns because he'll continually
Speaker 1: do that until he's one play away from from being
Speaker 1: next to the defense coordinator exactly. So, but anyway that
Speaker 1: that's kind of just you know, that's the truth that
Speaker 1: But those are the things, those are the little details
Speaker 1: that everybody's talked about that win or lose football games ultimately,
Speaker 1: because if you've got one guy doing it, you've got
Speaker 1: multiple guys doing it, and you just got to get
Speaker 1: more guys that are that are playing the way they
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday instead of all of a
Speaker 1: sudden it's for real and you're you're out of position
Speaker 1: or you're just not doing the things you've done to
Speaker 1: get you that. But you know, I was, I was
Speaker 1: walking by somebody on the way out of the game,
Speaker 1: and I and I and he was talking to his
Speaker 1: buddy and he goes, you know, yeah, these guys, you know,
Speaker 1: they weren't even ready to play. They came out and
Speaker 1: they were just I don't think they even cared about
Speaker 1: IM some wait am and I watched the football team
Speaker 1: that came out. I thought, on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: Now they had their success in the first drive. But
Speaker 1: you know that to me is a That to me
Speaker 1: is a bullshit. You know that that's a anybody? To me,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh I can tell, but I can tell
Speaker 1: what they're calling every time before they were they they
Speaker 1: know the play call. Yeah, they know the play call
Speaker 1: before anybody. And yeah, okay, I got you. You know
Speaker 1: it because you saw what was running. It didn't work
Speaker 1: and you just use, well, why didn't throw it on
Speaker 1: that kind of a situation. But all that stuff. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so let's let's kind of look at where we're at
Speaker 1: seven and eight. Buffalo closed the season at best you
Speaker 1: hope for an eight and eight season, and and you're
Speaker 1: going you're going into an environment that's uh, last game
Speaker 1: not fun in December, last game on the road out
Speaker 1: of it. I looked yesterday, I looked on on some
Speaker 1: on an app. I got on my phone with the
Speaker 1: for the weather and it said high of thirty two,
Speaker 1: low of four. That's not a good range. Not a
Speaker 1: good range, man, bo what you what's your packing arrangements
Speaker 1: these Uh there's a trip going to Buffalo in late December.
Speaker 1: A so, so, I tell you, I last year we
Speaker 1: went to our two years ago when we went to
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh for it was cold, cold, cold. I remember it
Speaker 1: was the playoff games. It was a game they needed
Speaker 1: to get in. I remember one of the games in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I was talking to Logan about it and he said
Speaker 1: that at halftime, I think Jeff or or somebody want
Speaker 1: to go get him hot chocolate. Hot chocolate was just
Speaker 1: a term he said. By the time he got it,
Speaker 1: it was cold, he couldn't put a stick in it. So, yes,
Speaker 1: I get the UH friends up with Peter Glenn's Vermont
Speaker 1: hooked me up. We're going up there. So I got
Speaker 1: a nice big coat, perfect got long John's, I got boots,
Speaker 1: and I hate every piece of it. I hate every piece.
Speaker 1: A Florida guy into California. I don't want it. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to own a heavy coat. I
Speaker 1: don't want to go somewhere I need a heavy cl
Speaker 1: I'll wait until it warms up, then I'll then I'll
Speaker 1: go up there. And it's kind of my philosophy on
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But you know, well, no, no,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be far around. They're gonna be so
Speaker 1: my here's my deals. I hate wearing it. I won't
Speaker 1: wear my jacket up there. I'll throw it in my
Speaker 1: bag or I'll carry it or whatever. I'll wear it
Speaker 1: in the field. I'll have my big boots on, but
Speaker 1: in my bag traveling back, I'm gonna have my flip
Speaker 1: flops right there, So before I get in that airplane,
Speaker 1: throw them on on in those boots. As far as
Speaker 1: I concern up front concerning I'll leave on the tar Max.
Speaker 1: Uh so I had three hours. We'll make it through.
Speaker 1: But but just just a miserable It's gonna be miserable
Speaker 1: for them. It's gonna be miserable for the Dolphins. And
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of those games. I think John
Speaker 1: that it much like I thought about this game last
Speaker 1: week with jackson or the last week with Jacksonville, would
Speaker 1: be that after if the Dolphins, if the Dolphins would
Speaker 1: have stopped Jacksonville on their first drive, came down even
Speaker 1: kicked a field goal, I'm going these guys are done.
Speaker 1: You can stop, get up, tend nothing and there and
Speaker 1: and and it's done. Their their their their toasts, but
Speaker 1: didn't work out that way, And I got a feeling
Speaker 1: the same Buffalo is gonna be the same kind of mentality.
Speaker 1: If some team jumps out and gets on you early,
Speaker 1: the other teams canna have a hard time muster in
Speaker 1: the uh uh you know, the the need or the
Speaker 1: want to uh to fight back, especially with the if
Speaker 1: the weather is as bad as it as it possibly
Speaker 1: could be. Well, the range from thirty two to four
Speaker 1: doesn't indicate that it's gonna be a pleasant day in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: New York. Right when you're praying for the high and
Speaker 1: the highest. That's not that's not the best of uh
Speaker 1: of most situations. Well, you know, Buffalo is a five
Speaker 1: and ten team, okay, and they've gone they've gotten their
Speaker 1: new quarterback, they've gotten their rookie quarterback last year's draft.
Speaker 1: And he's a guy that ran all over us, you know,
Speaker 1: down here in South Florida hard Rock Stadium ran for
Speaker 1: over a hunter in three yards if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: straight games. So you've got a guy that's still learning
Speaker 1: the position, the guys still kind of figuring it out,
Speaker 1: how he wants to play, how he can accentuate some
Speaker 1: of some of his qualities, and he's got a strong arm.
Speaker 1: He's a big kid, he's athletic, he moves around the pocket,
Speaker 1: extends plays, he does all those things. I'm just wondering
Speaker 1: what our mentality is going to be going up and playing,
Speaker 1: because the last two weeks were huge disappointments for the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins in terms of what was on the line
Speaker 1: and how we performed. I'm not saying I think we're
Speaker 1: ready to play. I don't think there was an effort problem.
Speaker 1: I think that we got beat We got beat by
Speaker 1: ourselves number one in a couple of those instances. And
Speaker 1: you have to give credit to Minnesota and Jacksonville because
Speaker 1: they took advantage of our miscuse and turn them into points.
Speaker 1: So I just think that that that's the thing I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be watching. I'm not I'm sure we're gonna give effort.
Speaker 1: I'm sure gonna be prepared, but execution wise, if if
Speaker 1: the last two weeks we had the playoffs still in
Speaker 1: the horizon and we didn't get it done, now everything's
Speaker 1: out out of our control. We're done, and and it's
Speaker 1: and to me, it's a little more difficult being the
Speaker 1: road team. It is. It is it's like, hey, you
Speaker 1: know we're going home after going home, you know, no
Speaker 1: flight in this and that. So and remind you the
Speaker 1: audible is brought to you by Verise and the best
Speaker 1: unlimited is on America's most awarded network are Good Friends Advertising,
Speaker 1: UH seven and eight and all the speculation, now, John,
Speaker 1: I mean, as soon as that game ended is I
Speaker 1: think as soon as the uh the pick six came up,
Speaker 1: speculation began on what was gonna happen, what they're gonna do,
Speaker 1: what's the shape of this team is gonna be next year?
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a you know, I'm a stand
Speaker 1: pad guy. Right now. I I believe in coach Kase.
Speaker 1: I believe he's the guy that can get the job done.
Speaker 1: If I had my druthers, I would I would. I
Speaker 1: would rather see him maybe step back a little bit
Speaker 1: from the game day play calling and be a little
Speaker 1: bit more of a head coach to the defense, special
Speaker 1: teams there and look, I'm not asking to be the
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, but participate, you know. I you know, look
Speaker 1: Coach Schula, and again I every time I bring up
Speaker 1: Coach Sula, He's the only coach I had in the
Speaker 1: National Football So he's on my MO only frame of reference.
Speaker 1: But if the defense was playing well or playing bad,
Speaker 1: he would always come by and let you know, hey,
Speaker 1: we need you know. Just and he but and he's
Speaker 1: and and I would like to see Adam be a
Speaker 1: little bit more of of of a team manager as
Speaker 1: long as as well as you know, I think with him,
Speaker 1: and now you know they work together all a week
Speaker 1: on the plane, you know what we want, you know
Speaker 1: what we like. You still communicate with them. But with that,
Speaker 1: but I certainly the last thing I want to do
Speaker 1: is see him leave. I just think I think it
Speaker 1: would be very premature and unfair, especially with a football
Speaker 1: team that most people say we're gonna be the thirty
Speaker 1: fet or thirty second best team in the national football
Speaker 1: at the big beginning of the season, and most everybody
Speaker 1: that put pen to paper said this team is gonna
Speaker 1: be lucky if they win three or four games. You've
Speaker 1: gone through a rash of injuries, you've had those issues,
Speaker 1: and you lose your quarterback for four or five weeks,
Speaker 1: however long that was, and you still end up eight
Speaker 1: and Nate. Maybe if you end up eight and Nate,
Speaker 1: I don't see how. I don't see how you make
Speaker 1: that move. You know, maybe now maybe now when you
Speaker 1: start looking down the the staff situation, and I'll and
Speaker 1: I'll say this before I go, I'm gonna move forward.
Speaker 1: There's always gonna be staff changes. Some guys are gonna
Speaker 1: get a better offer somewhere else. Some guys just you know,
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they're gonna go somewhere else, and then
Speaker 1: they're gonna be changes, maybe because they're not satisfied with
Speaker 1: with the job that's gonna be done. And if there's
Speaker 1: moves like that down the road, then then then maybe
Speaker 1: there's And and I'm not I'm not touting this, I'm
Speaker 1: not you know, pressing it. But example for me would
Speaker 1: be if Todd Bowles became available. Now you've got a
Speaker 1: guy that you know, I know that every time we
Speaker 1: get ready to play the Jets, Adam talks strongly about
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, how how good he is it setting up
Speaker 1: his defense, is doing things, so you know, he's got
Speaker 1: him in the back of his mind. A guy like
Speaker 1: that becomes available, now, then I've got I've got a choice,
Speaker 1: I gotta I've gotta make a I got at least
Speaker 1: think about it. Am I happy here with with Matt Burke.
Speaker 1: Is it an improvement here? Is there some way I
Speaker 1: can get Todd here and keep Matt and do some
Speaker 1: kind of you know, where it's equitable over something. I
Speaker 1: don't like to see guys fired. I don't like to
Speaker 1: see guys leave. But but as far as as far
Speaker 1: as a staff standpoint, John, that's kind of where my
Speaker 1: head is on this thing right now. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: income kind of along the same lines as you bo.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see Adam gaze U be fired.
Speaker 1: I think his work is is yet to be determined
Speaker 1: on where his success rate is going to be in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. I do know that he's really
Speaker 1: good in front of the team. I know that the
Speaker 1: team's prepared. I like the way he his interaction is
Speaker 1: on the offense. Now, whether he gets more involved in
Speaker 1: the defense moving forward, that's probably something he's gonna have
Speaker 1: to think about in the offseason when he when he
Speaker 1: goes back and he feels like, how can I improve
Speaker 1: as a head coach? Is he given more time on
Speaker 1: game day to certain situations where maybe it's not neglected.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't my role going in over the past
Speaker 1: three years as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, he would probably entertain. You know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna self scout himself, just like he self scouts
Speaker 1: every opponent and every every game that his team has played.
Speaker 1: He's gonna go back over and say, hey, we were
Speaker 1: we doing the right things in these situations. My play
Speaker 1: calling was I was I getting too far out of
Speaker 1: the box, and maybe you should have I repeated a
Speaker 1: couple more plays are gone through this a little bit
Speaker 1: simpler than than what I thought and did. I like
Speaker 1: a lot of the things I added. I mean just
Speaker 1: about you could go through the litany of of trick
Speaker 1: plays that we've used, and most of them, from the
Speaker 1: majority of them have turned out either really huge or
Speaker 1: or it was one of those things where no harm,
Speaker 1: no foul. They made good decisions and it didn't work out,
Speaker 1: but they got made the best out of the place.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things to go through when
Speaker 1: you're play caller slash head coach and and you're trying
Speaker 1: to go through the best way to move this team
Speaker 1: from five hundred. If you win in Buffalo and five
Speaker 1: hundred for three years, how do I take the next step?
Speaker 1: Because you had so much success in year one you
Speaker 1: tried to duplicate that and grow from it and improve.
Speaker 1: In year two you go backwards and now you're kind
Speaker 1: of you know, you're you're in the middle of the sea,
Speaker 1: floating around, going how how do I get out of here?
Speaker 1: How do I get back in that jet stream where
Speaker 1: I can kind of contine in you that upwardly trend.
Speaker 1: So I'm competing with New England, I'm competing with Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: I'm competing with some of those teams that are in
Speaker 1: the a f C that are there on a regular basis,
Speaker 1: no doubt. And then look, and then you get to
Speaker 1: the personnel side, and that to me is a little
Speaker 1: more dicey, you know, a little more dice you just
Speaker 1: from the standpoint that you know, it's easy to point
Speaker 1: at people and you know, whether it's Chris Greer, whether
Speaker 1: it's Mike Tannenbaum, whoever it is um but people don't
Speaker 1: know what they do, you know, people don't really. I
Speaker 1: think it's just across the board, you know, and you
Speaker 1: hear someone says, oh, yeah, I like that guy. Like
Speaker 1: I'm looking on line today and I'm seeing their airyone.
Speaker 1: Just fire everyone, just good rid of everybody. And and
Speaker 1: do the whole thing. I'm looking I think that's the
Speaker 1: worst I just think that's the worst case scenario because
Speaker 1: it wasn't You're going not going from a ten win
Speaker 1: team to a six win team to a two win team,
Speaker 1: and everybody's abandoning ship. This is a team for the
Speaker 1: past two weeks that if they have taken care of
Speaker 1: their business, they'd still be in, you know, a pretty
Speaker 1: good spot, and they didn't. Yeah, no doubt, I'm looking
Speaker 1: for I'm just looking up some I I just I
Speaker 1: do bo I. I kind of agree with the theme
Speaker 1: that you're getting to whereas every year you go back
Speaker 1: to you know, God rest his old Tony Sperrano and
Speaker 1: you you go back and you feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: Tony Sperrno was a good football coach and he got
Speaker 1: run out and a lot of there were a lot
Speaker 1: of takers for his craft and maybe not at head coach.
Speaker 1: But I like the way he motivated his team. I
Speaker 1: like the way he stuck up for his team. I
Speaker 1: like the way that he backed his players, and I
Speaker 1: like the way he prepared his players. And I feel
Speaker 1: the same way with Adam Gates. I all those qualities
Speaker 1: are are there with with Coach Gayson, and I think
Speaker 1: he deserves to have another at bad at the plate
Speaker 1: and see where can we can go? And John and
Speaker 1: I I think, and look, I've been around here long enough.
Speaker 1: I've been watching I've watched this since since I came
Speaker 1: here in nineteen seventies six. So I've seen all different
Speaker 1: kind of peaks and valleys and you know, and and
Speaker 1: good teams and not so good teams and then this
Speaker 1: and that and and I just feel like this team
Speaker 1: and and sometimes I think sometimes I think the organization
Speaker 1: pays a little too much attention to the noise out
Speaker 1: there with the fan base. Because the fan base, I'm look,
Speaker 1: I'm looking on I'm watching Coach Gaze's press conference today,
Speaker 1: and they were not fire and fire and fire and fire. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll have some give us some background, give us some reason. Why,
Speaker 1: why why would you do that? You know, and so
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But we're not. This town is not
Speaker 1: willing to let somebody finish the job two years and three,
Speaker 1: so I'll get rid of these guys. So so let's
Speaker 1: I'll give you a good example to me. Coach Gays
Speaker 1: came in and tried to start starting want to turn
Speaker 1: this team into more athletic football team. We're a little
Speaker 1: bit more of a bigger physical team before he got here.
Speaker 1: And he goes out and Jachem Grant becomes part of
Speaker 1: the game. Albert Wilson, Kenny Kenny stills, these guys. The
Speaker 1: offensive linement got a little more athletic, right, defensive linement
Speaker 1: a little more. Your linebackers a little smaller, a little
Speaker 1: more athletic. So so it takes time him to change
Speaker 1: a football team from you know, big strong power to
Speaker 1: so give these guys to me. It's like building us.
Speaker 1: If you hired me to build your house, I come
Speaker 1: build your house now. I got the founder, I put
Speaker 1: the two by four's up, I got the foundation up,
Speaker 1: and you know you know what up? Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: like what you're doing. You're fired. Then you bring somebody else,
Speaker 1: and what do they do? Take everything down and start
Speaker 1: from scratch again. And now now you're back two years back.
Speaker 1: Now you're two years behind where you started from. That's
Speaker 1: my problem with multiple changes every three years, one step forward,
Speaker 1: two steps back, And I think that's why this franchise
Speaker 1: has been in this holding pattern. And look, we've had
Speaker 1: one year of one and fifteen other than that, we're
Speaker 1: seven and nine, eight and eight, nine and seven. Oh,
Speaker 1: you got a ten year ten win you know, you're
Speaker 1: you're And so if this team wins, if this team
Speaker 1: finishes eight and eight this year, two wins away from
Speaker 1: being in the playoffs, it's in there, in there. Their
Speaker 1: legacy for the past ten years has been two wins
Speaker 1: or two losses. You know, Cincinnati loss, the Indianapolis Indianapolis loss.
Speaker 1: Those You you think, Jesus, we just have those two,
Speaker 1: we'd be sitting here right now. You know, we'd be
Speaker 1: nine and six right now. But you know, and that
Speaker 1: seems to be the So I guess the point I'm
Speaker 1: making is you can talk about fire and all these people,
Speaker 1: but the margin between being the middle of the pack
Speaker 1: and a playoff team, it's two games. I I think
Speaker 1: that all the people that would say that, uh here,
Speaker 1: here's the way I would feel. Let's go back to that.
Speaker 1: Those two those two losses. There's a seventeen point lead
Speaker 1: in one game, there's a ten point lead in another game.
Speaker 1: You feel like, there's no way that this football team
Speaker 1: is gonna lose those games. And all the other people
Speaker 1: and all my friends are saying, well, John, you can't
Speaker 1: point to those games not pointing in New England and
Speaker 1: then the miracle finish and you can't point to that
Speaker 1: game without point of Buffalo and they should have caught
Speaker 1: the ball, And I go, yeah, I understand all that.
Speaker 1: I understand all that. Usually in games, in seasons, all
Speaker 1: those things kind of even out. All I'm saying is
Speaker 1: that this team was a lot closer than they were
Speaker 1: at at any point over the last I don't know,
Speaker 1: you take out the playoffs, seaton the season over the
Speaker 1: last ten years from being a really good football team
Speaker 1: because of the way they started. They started three and oh,
Speaker 1: and they started out with everybody kind of going, you
Speaker 1: know what, we're not We're not that bad. You know,
Speaker 1: we're not as bad as the national media tends to
Speaker 1: think we are. We're not as bad as we are.
Speaker 1: And then they went up and they got they got
Speaker 1: slapped in the face by New England. That brought him
Speaker 1: back to reality. I think this team would have rebounded
Speaker 1: a little bit differently had they had those components in place.
Speaker 1: I'm not blaming injuries. I'm not saying that as an excuse.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying the way this team was built, they
Speaker 1: would have reacted a little differently through this season with
Speaker 1: half of those rash of injuries to key components because
Speaker 1: Adam Gates had to completely change the way he called games.
Speaker 1: He relied on a thirty five year old running back
Speaker 1: to set the table for this football team and this
Speaker 1: franchise for this year. And it was unbelievable that Frank
Speaker 1: Gore and all of his talents were able to carry
Speaker 1: this team on offense until they got their you know,
Speaker 1: legs underneath them in games and in series. But you
Speaker 1: you lose, you know, you lose Tannehill for x amount
Speaker 1: of for a month, month and a half, and you
Speaker 1: and you you have to change again. You have to
Speaker 1: change the way that you call games because it's just
Speaker 1: it's just different. I think that when you look at
Speaker 1: other teams where you lose Sin and kill Gore, I
Speaker 1: know those two guys, those two and don't discount how
Speaker 1: important those guys were. They're important a lot because first
Speaker 1: of all, they're better players and then took their everybody's
Speaker 1: better better players than anyone else they had playing that
Speaker 1: offense in those positions. I'm talking about Tonslan and Juan Um,
Speaker 1: but not only that, they brought in here toughness with them.
Speaker 1: They brought that. They were they were leaders of the team.
Speaker 1: Don't pick that guy, don't don't get that guy a
Speaker 1: hand up. Let him get his own. As all the
Speaker 1: culture change in the off season, we're bringing guys of
Speaker 1: the character in like that. That not only character, the
Speaker 1: guys that could play. And the point I was trying
Speaker 1: to make was simply this Adam Gates changed the way
Speaker 1: he called this game and his offensive philosophy three or
Speaker 1: four times this year. And the best ways were the
Speaker 1: first couple. As he as he got it watered down.
Speaker 1: As he got watered down, we got to take this out.
Speaker 1: This guy's hurd we gotta trade. Just look at the
Speaker 1: explosive plays to where they went to in the first
Speaker 1: month of the season and comparatively, on an average, where
Speaker 1: they are over the last month, month and a half.
Speaker 1: There's not a whole you know, you had the seventy
Speaker 1: five yard run with ballaj, you had, you know, the
Speaker 1: miracle play at the end of the game. But we
Speaker 1: take a look at average explosive place, what do we
Speaker 1: have a twenty yarder and maybe a thirty yarder last
Speaker 1: week against Jackson that was it. Yeah, I mean that
Speaker 1: was nothing else, and you go prior before you lose
Speaker 1: your team and you lose Albert, you know, those those
Speaker 1: things were there were common regularity. Yeah, and so you
Speaker 1: take half of that out and so yeah, it's uh, look,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's disappointing. Um and there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, a lot of shrapnel flying
Speaker 1: flying around here over the next week or two before
Speaker 1: things get to uh get par I just kind of
Speaker 1: hope that everyone takes a step step back, takes a
Speaker 1: deep breath, and I know that Mr Ross and everyone
Speaker 1: that whatever whoever he's taking the information from whatever he's
Speaker 1: doing to to do his research and to do his
Speaker 1: his background before he makes a big decision on any
Speaker 1: of these guys and looks at it and um, it
Speaker 1: doesn't just doesn't just make a move because oh this
Speaker 1: team seven and eight right now or or the end
Speaker 1: of day of eight and eight, so they're airgo I
Speaker 1: better let these guys go. The percentage of the if
Speaker 1: you do make a move, the percentage of improvement is
Speaker 1: far less than than negativity. Where you're gonna go backwards
Speaker 1: before you get going forward. You're gonna be in year
Speaker 1: three again looking around going and what the hell did
Speaker 1: I do? And now I gets start over again because
Speaker 1: we didn't have success. But you talk about Klin Blas,
Speaker 1: you know, one of the byproduct of losing guys, you
Speaker 1: get to see guys like Kalin because you know, if
Speaker 1: you don't have Frank, if Frank's healthy, you're you're not
Speaker 1: seeing him on those plates. And so now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Kalin's become He goes, hey, there's a guy
Speaker 1: that you look forward to and and and you look
Speaker 1: at so you look at Xavien. Xaviens to me, x
Speaker 1: is a good example when you look at where those
Speaker 1: teams at right now. X comes in his first year
Speaker 1: pretty spotty. You know, next year better, third year, and
Speaker 1: he's a pro bowler. You look at and you I'm
Speaker 1: looking at guy. I'm looking at ray Kwon McMillan and
Speaker 1: Jerome Baker. I don't know if either one of those
Speaker 1: guys can be a pro bowler, but I know this,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be better next year than they were this
Speaker 1: year they were. They'll be better the year after than
Speaker 1: they were. And that's why I kind of talked about
Speaker 1: let's let's let the let the team mature, let the
Speaker 1: team grow with the picks that these guys are brought in.
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at Jesse Davis. Jesse Davis. You know
Speaker 1: he was scrambling just to be a backup last year.
Speaker 1: You put him in there. He got all that work
Speaker 1: last year because of injuries, comes in as a starter
Speaker 1: and is they're all all year long for you and played. Look,
Speaker 1: he had his hat, his days and his days where
Speaker 1: you go, you know, you gotta play better than that.
Speaker 1: But I think for the most party is pretty consistent
Speaker 1: and so but and you got those guys, and then
Speaker 1: you go back another year to the rookies because I
Speaker 1: think there are I think there are enough young guys,
Speaker 1: the got Shaws and the Vincent Taylors and and those
Speaker 1: guys out there that if you give them time, they
Speaker 1: can be the core of what's gonna be a ten
Speaker 1: year run of you know where you're now. You're challenging now,
Speaker 1: you challenge the playoffs every year, and you're getting in
Speaker 1: the playoffs and if you hadn't you get in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You know, the first really serious time we got in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, we won the division, got the home field,
Speaker 1: got the home field advantage, win one game. We go, hey,
Speaker 1: we win the next game, we're going to super Bowl,
Speaker 1: you know, and and that's where you know, you get
Speaker 1: to there. That's one of these super Bowl trips. Show up.
Speaker 1: They don't show up when you're the last team getting
Speaker 1: in there and and you're limping into to try to
Speaker 1: snatch a wild card spot, get the should beat out
Speaker 1: of the first week of the playoffs, and you feel
Speaker 1: just as bad as if you if you hadn't gone.
Speaker 1: But but I I feel like there's a core there
Speaker 1: two that if buttured it brought along the right way,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be pretty solid core on both sides of
Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, I mean I was. I was shocked
Speaker 1: how good some of them, our young players played this year.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about even second year and third year.
Speaker 1: But you know, you just take a look at makea
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick what he's done over the course of playing safety,
Speaker 1: playing corner, playing nickel corner, playing everywhere in a pinch,
Speaker 1: and a guy that may get a position right off
Speaker 1: the bat next year, and say this is your position,
Speaker 1: this is where we want you to play, because this
Speaker 1: is your this gives us the best chance to be
Speaker 1: successful on defense. And it goes for Baker and it
Speaker 1: goes from McMillan and it goes for Taylor and Gotcha
Speaker 1: and all those young kids with absolutely absolutely another guy
Speaker 1: that that played at a really high level for the
Speaker 1: majority of the season. So you marry that with your
Speaker 1: Drakes and your Bellage and all those guys, and and
Speaker 1: Isa of Ford who came along didn't get a lot
Speaker 1: of playing time, but you know he was up and
Speaker 1: down off of the regular roster and and really doing
Speaker 1: it with regularity at practice every day too. So you've
Speaker 1: got a nucleus, as you said, of young and now
Speaker 1: getting experienced guys. And with the example of of X
Speaker 1: making the Pro Bowl, there's other guys that are that
Speaker 1: are going to crest that level of being able to
Speaker 1: continue to take the Dolphins where they need to go
Speaker 1: with youth. Now you have to back that up with
Speaker 1: a really good job of another class that comes in
Speaker 1: in the draft and a couple of experienced veterans that
Speaker 1: key positions in free agency. Look at you look forward,
Speaker 1: you said, Look, you can see him. It could be
Speaker 1: a pro bowler within a year or two. You can
Speaker 1: be tons Will b mc touns will being a pro
Speaker 1: bowler next year? Maybe I I mean I know it
Speaker 1: missed a field goal against Jacksonville, but look at Sanders.
Speaker 1: I mean he came and missed two kicks all year.
Speaker 1: I mean he did a heck of a job. So
Speaker 1: you've got you've got there to me. I think they've
Speaker 1: got Matt and Hawk, you know, the same thing as
Speaker 1: a specialty teams were you know, those two guys came
Speaker 1: in big time for us. Yeah, so I'm maybe I'm
Speaker 1: just not. I don't know. I just I think I
Speaker 1: try to look a little deeper than the surface. Um.
Speaker 1: You know what gets you know, it gets really overlooked.
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about offensive injuries. Oh we gotta
Speaker 1: rash it defense on. We're gonna imagine Darren Rizzy and
Speaker 1: special teams. Every every injury on this football team gets
Speaker 1: compounded on special teams. And they've been you know, pretty
Speaker 1: solids throughout throughout the season. Yeah, well you get you know,
Speaker 1: the issues they've had have been late last couple of
Speaker 1: games and the two block punts and you had, you
Speaker 1: had that was more technique than anything exactly. So you know,
Speaker 1: and like you said, every time someone gets hurt on
Speaker 1: the regular roster, he's losing somebody from his or else
Speaker 1: or else he's got him playing whatever he's getting on
Speaker 1: fumes right the games or whatever like that. Anyway, So
Speaker 1: that's where we are, and that's what uh, that's what
Speaker 1: we've got to look forward to in the off season
Speaker 1: is is trying to get this team built. And again,
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing my two cents out there. I like
Speaker 1: this staff. I like the staff, and anim will make
Speaker 1: his change where he wants to do. I'm just uh,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just not uh. I just want to
Speaker 1: see I just want to see him stay here and
Speaker 1: and give him a chance to to fulfill his job. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just don't see any growth and and and absolutely
Speaker 1: blowing the whole thing up because we've we've seen and
Speaker 1: done that and we're back. We're we're here, and you
Speaker 1: feel like you have a good nucleus of young players.
Speaker 1: And I I think I just like the job Adams
Speaker 1: done around the team and getting these guys motivated to play.
