Speaker 1: we're talking to him here on the i'd like talking
Speaker 1: about people in the audible. They're doing good things out there,
Speaker 1: and Ed Moore's doing a lot of good things. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. Real good family Teddy as good
Speaker 1: and as big a Dolphin fan as you'll ever get.
Speaker 1: You're up there with him. Man, he doesn't want to socialize.
Speaker 1: He wants to watch every player game. Yeah, he's serious
Speaker 1: about And Joe, speaking of watching the game, Um, what
Speaker 1: a game to watch yesterday? It was a it was
Speaker 1: a crazy here what I'm gonna tell you what. I'm
Speaker 1: sitting down there, Joe. And it was hot out there,
Speaker 1: and and the script was a little different than we
Speaker 1: wanted because it was our defense was out there the
Speaker 1: majority of time getting worn out with the heat out there. Well,
Speaker 1: the Raiders are sitting over there, their defense is sitting
Speaker 1: over there, just kind of hanging out, chilling over there
Speaker 1: and everything. So um, but it was a game that really, Joe,
Speaker 1: I'm going into the fourth quarter, goo, man, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how we're gonna dig
Speaker 1: out of this thing. It's gotta happen. It's gotta happen.
Speaker 1: Now it goes seventeen seven. They go on a long drive.
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking, what you are, Well, you can't wear
Speaker 1: out the Raider defense if you don't make them play.
Speaker 1: And they were just having drive after nice drive and
Speaker 1: and chewing up a lot of minutes seventeen seven, couple
Speaker 1: of minutes left in the third and uh, that's when
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze was absolutely at his best with this play.
Speaker 1: Cons just absolutely per perfected trick plays, setting up past plays, matchups,
Speaker 1: getting everybody involved. Boat is beautiful man. And and and
Speaker 1: you know you talked about the drive that they took
Speaker 1: the ball late in the game, take the ball right
Speaker 1: down the field, and you go, oh, my goodness, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of these things. And then X
Speaker 1: comes up second interception of the day, and you talk about.
Speaker 1: You know, we've watched him grow over the last half
Speaker 1: full of years. And you know, you really kind of
Speaker 1: saw him last year towards the last second half of
Speaker 1: that season, really blossom into what you thought he was
Speaker 1: gonna be when they drafted him. And and and now
Speaker 1: this year he has just become a shutdown guy. And
Speaker 1: you want to throw maybe the biggest play at the
Speaker 1: biggest point in the game, he goes up, takes the
Speaker 1: ball away, perfect position, and gives it off as an opportunity.
Speaker 1: And boy, I'll tell you what it's. It's it was.
Speaker 1: He's become a beast out there less two weeks in
Speaker 1: a row in the red zone when we needed to
Speaker 1: stop to to keep the lead and get the most
Speaker 1: switched back. And he has just been bo right now.
Speaker 1: And I know we're not even a quarterway through the season.
Speaker 1: He's playing at a Pro Bowl, any question, pro level, no,
Speaker 1: no question about it. Now. Now, there was some bad
Speaker 1: news in the game. Uh uh, you know, we lose
Speaker 1: We lose William Hayes, the defensive end, defensive tackle. Who
Speaker 1: you know, Joe. We were with him. I was just
Speaker 1: sitting there next to him at the game at the St.
Speaker 1: Thomas game, from when we did high school football on
Speaker 1: Friday night with the Audible. I was sitting next to
Speaker 1: him talking to him during the game, and you know,
Speaker 1: and you see him go down and he just likes
Speaker 1: it's it's gut wrench because we're talking just about he
Speaker 1: just he's so excited about high school football, so excited
Speaker 1: about playing, getting ready for the game and stuff. And
Speaker 1: then you find then then you find out the tears
Speaker 1: in a c l and and he's gone for the season,
Speaker 1: and and this that one hurts. That one hurts because
Speaker 1: he's one of my favorite players, one of my favorite players,
Speaker 1: because you know, he's always gonna give you what he's got.
Speaker 1: And you talk about he's a run guy. He's a
Speaker 1: run guy. But he's done some pretty good things in
Speaker 1: the past. Game too fresh one before he got injured,
Speaker 1: or to to as good a place as you're gonna see,
Speaker 1: and to see the way he goes down just you
Speaker 1: break your heart. And you knew right away it was
Speaker 1: bad by his reaction because he's a tough son of
Speaker 1: a gun. He got some other injuries out there, Derby's
Speaker 1: out there and but he he could be back. I know.
Speaker 1: Bobby McCain went under the tent. I don't know what
Speaker 1: his situation is gonna be. Uh as far as concussion
Speaker 1: protocols or anything. Who else we got nicked up out there?
Speaker 1: Um uh Andre Branch I'm not not sure what you
Speaker 1: know what the you know what that's gonna be there.
Speaker 1: They're all listening to day to day. Um. But hey,
Speaker 1: look you know what, you know there's a week a
Speaker 1: week ago, next man up and you get him going.
Speaker 1: Uh at this point in the in the in the
Speaker 1: uh at this point in the season, Chase Allen also
Speaker 1: lost him and he was big. Yeah, he was big
Speaker 1: because you know he stepped in two weeks ago and
Speaker 1: they were using him instead of Joe Baker in the
Speaker 1: run game. And that's really what struggle that they struggled
Speaker 1: with last you know, both sides of the ball is
Speaker 1: that's that was the biggest struggle all day, running the
Speaker 1: football when you have they all had the ball, and
Speaker 1: stopping their running game when they had the football because
Speaker 1: they just they just kinda I mean with Marshawn Lynch,
Speaker 1: I mean they were just four in five yard chunks
Speaker 1: and when you thought you had him stopped for three,
Speaker 1: he'd grind out four more for you. But he Uh,
Speaker 1: he made a lot of guys missed tackles. Uh, he
Speaker 1: broke a lot of tackles. It seemed like on first
Speaker 1: down he was getting five, six, seven, eight yards every
Speaker 1: time and putting them in a great opportunity for Carter
Speaker 1: if you wanted to throw up, which he does love
Speaker 1: to throw it. But yeah, overall the line, that's what
Speaker 1: made this so amazing. Bow I couldn't run the football.
Speaker 1: The penalties came back, the penalty bug was back again,
Speaker 1: and yet they still found a way to score twenty
Speaker 1: one points in the last quarter and a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: Just amazing. So that game, watching that game, um, you
Speaker 1: know Ryan, Ryan was very efficient I mean throwing the football,
Speaker 1: I mean boom boom. Had you know that the problem
Speaker 1: with the problem with moving the ball down the field
Speaker 1: wasn't him throwing the football. It was a lack of
Speaker 1: the running game and and the penalties in the passing game.
Speaker 1: You know, you had a couple of big first down
Speaker 1: I think Amondola called back. Uh, you had another one
Speaker 1: I think to Gore called back from a from a
Speaker 1: holding penalty, and and those listen talking to listen to
Speaker 1: Bob during the broadcast, look not only you lose the
Speaker 1: ten yards and penalty yards, but you lose the twenty
Speaker 1: that you made up on the play, and so you
Speaker 1: start buddling those numbers together and it's it's big numbers.
Speaker 1: But look that that was. So that was one of
Speaker 1: those games. It was just it which is a hard
Speaker 1: fought dog fight game out there, and and the the
Speaker 1: in snap the in snap penalties, to me, Joe, are
Speaker 1: hard to are hard to fault guys for when the
Speaker 1: game is being contested the way that one was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't usually complain about calls, but I thought,
Speaker 1: I think there was some bad calls, really bad calls.
Speaker 1: Kinney Steeles. We we saw it up there and it
Speaker 1: was a real crap call. It just was awful. It's
Speaker 1: one that Adam Gates call is about and they go, yeah,
Speaker 1: we we missed on that's clearly trying to get away
Speaker 1: from the guy who comes up and makes the contact.
Speaker 1: That was a terrible call. So Jachim that called Jachim
Speaker 1: on on on nothing, nothing, call on stuff that we
Speaker 1: watch everybody do to the Dolphins through the years and
Speaker 1: and have great success. But I will tell you, on
Speaker 1: a positive note, this is about as fast a group
Speaker 1: of guys bow as I've seen and I was, like
Speaker 1: I said this morning, it turned from a football to
Speaker 1: attract me. When you start looking at Albert speed, you
Speaker 1: start looking at Jackie speed, and you look at Kenny
Speaker 1: Steels running by guys, Uh, they are fun to watch
Speaker 1: me and they really are at the speed and and
Speaker 1: and the calls great and it looked like Adam Gates
Speaker 1: took everything out of the book of like it's time
Speaker 1: to throw this in. Well, Joey, it kind of fits though.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you looked at the game, you know,
Speaker 1: they're trying to penetrate there, trying to run the ball
Speaker 1: in the side, trying to pound it, pounded, pounded, not
Speaker 1: getting anything. And so next thing, you know, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, now they're starting the perimeter and they're starting misdirection,
Speaker 1: and they're starting change and you know, going one way
Speaker 1: coming back the other way, and so you know you've
Speaker 1: kind of got you kind of got that radar defense
Speaker 1: bottled up in the middle there say Okay, this is
Speaker 1: how we're gonna get out, and there was how we
Speaker 1: get wide and tell those plays work, you know, Joe,
Speaker 1: those play don't rarely you see one play like that work.
Speaker 1: As well as one of those day. But to have
Speaker 1: two plays, three plays like that work, it was pretty
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. You're talking about a thirty four, thirty six,
Speaker 1: fifty and a seventy yard play bow and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, three of those are touchdowns. You gotta go.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something else. Adam Gates didn't that game
Speaker 1: that I really liked. I thought it was important to
Speaker 1: get Davante Parker first game back. He catches the take off,
Speaker 1: that's some point. He got everybody involved. It looked like
Speaker 1: bow at times. I go out, it seemed like all
Speaker 1: five receivers were playing with DeVante back. They were all
Speaker 1: in there, and they weren't. Of course, there was three
Speaker 1: of them get sick. He played a lot as well,
Speaker 1: But man, I had I did a good job get
Speaker 1: everybody involved in the game plan, where both we talked
Speaker 1: about when it's over, everybody feels like they're a part
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, you know, it was nice. It was
Speaker 1: nice to see DeVante back, uh, you know, and we
Speaker 1: hope that he stays healthy and continues to to play
Speaker 1: it the way we we we want to play. But
Speaker 1: we've seen us and downs from him. But I'm with you,
Speaker 1: getting the ball, making sure he had the ball, making
Speaker 1: sure he was part of it, and the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It just you know it, You know what it does,
Speaker 1: because I gotta feel if you're a guy like Davante
Speaker 1: Parker and what you've gone through in the situation and
Speaker 1: you come in with a lot of promise this year
Speaker 1: and boom, all of a sudden, you break your finger.
Speaker 1: Now you're out for a while. You gotta be thinking
Speaker 1: to yourself, and you know, when you're by yourself, he's
Speaker 1: where do I fit here? What's my situation? You know?
Speaker 1: Am I getting run? You know? These guys are all
Speaker 1: making big plays. I'm not. I'm not playing. They're sitting
Speaker 1: there playing this and that. And you know that that
Speaker 1: that that that digs he digs down in your soul,
Speaker 1: you know when you play this game and to be
Speaker 1: able to get back and he comes right to you
Speaker 1: and feel like you it's almost like, hey, come on,
Speaker 1: let's give you a big hug. Here. You're You're still
Speaker 1: part of us, You're still one of our guys. We
Speaker 1: still want you know, we still want you to be
Speaker 1: on our team. We still want you to make plays,
Speaker 1: we want you to enjoy what the guys are enjoying.
Speaker 1: So you're right. I think getting him in the game,
Speaker 1: getting him, getting him to uh, getting him involved in
Speaker 1: the game, big big move on the whole staffs part.
Speaker 1: And after the game, I went in the locker room.
Speaker 1: I just had to get a fil couldn't get enough
Speaker 1: of what had just happened. So I went in there.
Speaker 1: Kenny Steals is talking to Davante Parker before he left,
Speaker 1: and and I just went, you know, Kenny, besides what
Speaker 1: he's done on the football field, three touchdowns already, but
Speaker 1: I was thinking, he's working behind the scenes man like
Speaker 1: coach case. I get it why he thinks he wanted
Speaker 1: leaders on the team. He was like, hey, there's more
Speaker 1: to come. He was talking to Vante and we're talking
Speaker 1: about Hey, I'll see you later. And I went, wow,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Yeah, and let me tell you Kenny Stills.
Speaker 1: I said, look, Joe, we see him every every we
Speaker 1: go to high school football every week. Here he is,
Speaker 1: goes to every game, goes every game, and he and
Speaker 1: he's out in the community and he does things. And look,
Speaker 1: I know there's people, there are people out there that
Speaker 1: look at Kenny Stills and you know they they've just
Speaker 1: got nothing but bad things to say about him and
Speaker 1: in his position that he's taken with this football team.
Speaker 1: But you know this guy, this guy goes out to
Speaker 1: the community each and every week, reaches out to kids.
Speaker 1: He was at the veterans hospital last week. He goes
Speaker 1: he rides along with the police department to go into
Speaker 1: the inner cities and try to talk to the kids
Speaker 1: that say about hey, look, the police aren't your enemy.
Speaker 1: They're they're your friends if you you know, if you
Speaker 1: treat them the way, they're gonna treat you the way
Speaker 1: you treat them. And and he goes out and he
Speaker 1: delivers his message. And I don't think people I don't
Speaker 1: think people get that. And that and and and that
Speaker 1: that carries over into the way he he manages himself
Speaker 1: in the locker room and on the football team. Just
Speaker 1: like you talked about. He reaches out, you know, reaches
Speaker 1: out inclusion, bringing people together. So you know, I just
Speaker 1: I just think he gets I just think he gets
Speaker 1: a bad knock to me, he's become really become one
Speaker 1: of my Look, I can go down the list of
Speaker 1: guys on this team, my favorite guys. Every that's my favorite.
Speaker 1: I told my wife, who doesn't know a lot about
Speaker 1: the guys. And we're talking last night, I said, man,
Speaker 1: I said, it is just a really good group of guys.
Speaker 1: Like I just want to tell all the fans, like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I've been around some teams that have had a lot
Speaker 1: of turds and a lot of individuals and a lot
Speaker 1: of guys that will just kill your team. I've been
Speaker 1: around a few good guys. We've been around wild guys. Christian,
Speaker 1: that's a really good group of guys. This group we have, well,
Speaker 1: they're they're all, they're all. They're all single minded. They're
Speaker 1: all single minded about the goal being a better football team,
Speaker 1: winning football games, and doing it as a whole group
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Kind of reckons me back to we we
Speaker 1: were very fortunate when we played. Look, although we had
Speaker 1: some on the team that we didn't you know, you
Speaker 1: didn't deal with like to deal with or whatnot. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, the vast majority of our team, you know,
Speaker 1: you cared for everybody. You were happy whenever. Even even
Speaker 1: if it's a guy that's that's trying to take your
Speaker 1: job and makes a play, you're happy for him. You know.
Speaker 1: It's so and you really see a lot of that,
Speaker 1: and and you know teams are so close. The talent
Speaker 1: level on every team of this from the worst to
Speaker 1: the last, is so close that sometimes it takes more
Speaker 1: than blocking, tacking, tackling, catching, throwing. It takes more than that.
Speaker 1: There's some intangible in there that sometimes you need that
Speaker 1: intangible And no, you probably saw it last year when
Speaker 1: you saw the Philadelphia Eagles go on the run. They
Speaker 1: went on you know, intangibles, you get your backup quarterback
Speaker 1: comes in and they rally around. So it always takes
Speaker 1: something like that, and you're starting to believe that this
Speaker 1: football team has that intangible. I don't know where they're
Speaker 1: gonna go. I don't know how many games are gonna win.
Speaker 1: All I know is what they've done. Now, they've you know,
Speaker 1: they've they've fought their way to three wins without really
Speaker 1: haven't played their best, their best football across the board,
Speaker 1: we haven't playing the played a really great game in
Speaker 1: every aspect of the game. But they're finding ways to win.
Speaker 1: And so it makes you believe that maybe this football
Speaker 1: team has that little intangible something in there that's gonna
Speaker 1: drive them. Two good things. I still I agree there's
Speaker 1: still a better game to coma a more consistent game
Speaker 1: when you were talking about hey for everybody, and and
Speaker 1: early the first couple of weeks a while, you beat Tennessee.
Speaker 1: So what well, Uh, Tennessee went into Jacksonville yesterday everybody
Speaker 1: thought the best team and they may be the best
Speaker 1: team in the ANFC. They beat them. Bow and oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, the Bills are supposed to be so bad.
Speaker 1: They pounded Minnesota, who everybody thought might be the best
Speaker 1: team or one of the two or three best teams
Speaker 1: in the NFC. So Bow, like you said, if you
Speaker 1: don't bring at some point, you're a game. And the
Speaker 1: Dolphins have done it late, they've done it early. They've
Speaker 1: come up with a lot of big plays, got eight takeaways.
Speaker 1: If you don't do some of those things, Bo, you
Speaker 1: don't win games in this league. I look at it
Speaker 1: a different way. And I was thinking about this when
Speaker 1: I was when I was driving home, uh, because I
Speaker 1: heard heard someone say, um, and I go, this goes
Speaker 1: back to the one in fifteen year and then and
Speaker 1: then they come in the next year and go ten
Speaker 1: and six and get to the playoffs under the Sperrantos
Speaker 1: eleven and five. I'm sorry, yeah, and go to the
Speaker 1: playoffs and all year long I'm here in We'll go, oh,
Speaker 1: they got a soft schedule, and I'm going wait a minute.
Speaker 1: They were one in fifteen. They were the soft schedule.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins were the soft schedule. Dolphins were the soft schedule,
Speaker 1: and everybody's schedule. Everybody's in this football team today, this
Speaker 1: football team right now. What was happening in the middle.
Speaker 1: They were, Oh, they're the thirty second best team. Well no,
Speaker 1: maybe not the thirty second best, but they're thirty one
Speaker 1: at best. Well you know what, And I heard someone go, well,
Speaker 1: you know a schedule, they're a soft schedule. If you're here,
Speaker 1: people are picking you to be the thirty first ranked
Speaker 1: team in this league. You're the soft schedule for everybody.
Speaker 1: Nobody's soft, and the only person that's soft is that
Speaker 1: team is at thirty two. That's it. You got no
Speaker 1: business day and it's a soft schedule. When everyone's got
Speaker 1: you ranked at the bottom of the heat many I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what, Uh, you're right about that. And those
Speaker 1: preseason power polls they weren't not the bullshit. That's for
Speaker 1: all you people out there to have listened to this
Speaker 1: this podcast and go on, you know so and so
Speaker 1: out in San Francisco has the Dolphins went to do
Speaker 1: it when they were assholes? What did they know? You know?
Speaker 1: I mean, damn, you gotta be around there, geen to
Speaker 1: figure out what the hell they're about a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. So anyway, you know what, I was
Speaker 1: happy to get that off my chest. Is there anything else?
Speaker 1: There is? The look? They're still more in there? You
Speaker 1: know that, Joe, you know they're still more in there. Oh.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just need an igniter, you know, I just
Speaker 1: need to I just need someone to flick the switch,
Speaker 1: you know. Anyway, anyway, let's get back to Let's get
Speaker 1: back to the task at hand here, Joe, um, Uh,
Speaker 1: I could not couldn't help it. Man, you just got
Speaker 1: me go. You know how to stick me? Yet? Stick me? Hey?
Speaker 1: So so I'm having this conversation. Uh. During the post games,
Speaker 1: haw were sitting wait through three games. Through three games,
Speaker 1: my m v P and his team is Jachim Grant
Speaker 1: or Albert Will maybe one of those two. Each of
Speaker 1: made big plays in every game, noticeable plays, plays that
Speaker 1: made a difference in virtually every game. Guys that you
Speaker 1: would you normally wouldn't think of those guys in that vein.
Speaker 1: I keep going back to Jakim, you know, a year
Speaker 1: ago training camp. If he if he drops two punts
Speaker 1: in the preseason, he ain't on this team. Yeah. Hey,
Speaker 1: by the way, there were a lot of guys that
Speaker 1: cover the team every day. They thought there was no
Speaker 1: slam dunk he was gonna be back because of his
Speaker 1: problems catching punts and being consistent. And look at him now,
Speaker 1: look at how big a part. And again it goes
Speaker 1: back a lot of Dadam Gates because he's using him
Speaker 1: absolutely the right way right now. So he's got three
Speaker 1: touchdowns both the X man is taking it up and
Speaker 1: his two red zone interceptions the last two weeks, uh
Speaker 1: have been big. He's got to be the last two
Speaker 1: weeks because the first week didn't even throw the ball.
Speaker 1: But that's just respect, man, I mean, he he's got
Speaker 1: to get some serious consideration. I know it's just a corner.
Speaker 1: He's not scoring touchdowns, but he's got to be up there.
Speaker 1: But I'm with you on those other two guys both, Uh,
Speaker 1: the three speechers on offense have eight touchdowns now on
Speaker 1: this team, eight touchdowns. When you look at Grant, Albert
Speaker 1: Wilson and Kenny Steals eight touchdowns unbelievable. And if you
Speaker 1: want to throw in nine on a pass play, he's
Speaker 1: responsible on a great throw that he made yesterday, just uh,
Speaker 1: let that throw he makes coming around. Of course he's
Speaker 1: a former quarterback and played that. But it's impressive. Though. Hey,
Speaker 1: how about a couple of the throws that uh that
Speaker 1: that Ryan's made now? He throwing one through one down
Speaker 1: the far side and I think that was I think
Speaker 1: that was the one to that was the right was
Speaker 1: a DeVante. He dropped it down over the top. I
Speaker 1: was thinking, I thought you were throwing was Kinny Steals
Speaker 1: in the back of the ends that one too, that
Speaker 1: one the sideline, that one. I mean, for all those
Speaker 1: guys out there that you know, that's still you know,
Speaker 1: kind of grab ahold of the Handehills can't throw the
Speaker 1: ball deep downfield. Well, you know, I think that's that's
Speaker 1: that's that's been debunked. That that that's a part of
Speaker 1: his that's a problem in his game. You know what else? Amazing? Um,
Speaker 1: the run blocking wasn't there. Past protection still really good.
Speaker 1: I know play action helped a little bit, especially when
Speaker 1: we start going on first down yesterday, but man, given
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill time to look and by the way, if
Speaker 1: somebody's not open, hit us a huge nineteen yard run
Speaker 1: yesterday that he catches him in man Deman and and
Speaker 1: got things going with that. And there was a couple
Speaker 1: of times where he just moved around in the pocket
Speaker 1: and avoided avoided. So when he moved up and was
Speaker 1: able to get so he can slide around, well, well,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. You've gotta be comfortable with
Speaker 1: your protection if you're gonna if you're gonna start sliding
Speaker 1: around in that pocket like he's done. And so I
Speaker 1: think that's a big part of of what he's been
Speaker 1: able to do out there. And look, Ryan and Ryan
Speaker 1: will be the first of it. He hasn't played his
Speaker 1: best game. I think Ryan is just getting more and
Speaker 1: more comfortable each and every game. And I don't I
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna probably hit his stride until you know,
Speaker 1: week we five or six, maybe seven in this But Joe,
Speaker 1: we we talked, talked about it when he came back.
Speaker 1: The consistency we're getting, you know, we're not getting that
Speaker 1: up and down that we got last year. You know
Speaker 1: where you got quarter quarter quarterback play was you didn't
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get. For one week it was
Speaker 1: it was as high as could be. The next week
Speaker 1: it was it was rock bottom, right, And you didn't
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get each and every week Ryan.
Speaker 1: With Ryan Otark, you know you're gonna get a consistent
Speaker 1: effort and a consistent performance out of him each and
Speaker 1: every week. Now, there are may be weeks where he
Speaker 1: ends up with three interceptions and one touchdown, but you
Speaker 1: know it's it's gonna be it's gonna be a similar Ryan.
Speaker 1: I think that you see every week. You know it's
Speaker 1: nice for him. Hain't those short passes and they're gonna
Speaker 1: be in fifty and sixty yard play one he basically
Speaker 1: handed off and got about sixty yards on I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, Bob Brisi made the comment yesterday, man, I'd
Speaker 1: love to have a couple of those. Just a one
Speaker 1: yard flip and a guy runs seventy yards. That's a
Speaker 1: seventy yard touchdown. That all that says, seventy touch yard
Speaker 1: touchdown pass baby. I don't know if you heard him.
Speaker 1: After the game, one of the writers says, uh, hey,
Speaker 1: ryany and you know that those two touchdowns were passes.
Speaker 1: He goes, well, you think I didn't know that. He
Speaker 1: goes who says you have to make a perfect forty
Speaker 1: five yard pass, man you can. You can deal with
Speaker 1: those guys and the speed they have. Hey, ball, I
Speaker 1: wanted to bring something else. In past years, we've signed
Speaker 1: some veteran free agents that have just been real bad
Speaker 1: at the end of their careers, nothing left. Uh this
Speaker 1: was their last stop. We've got a batch of him recently. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what so far, this group of veteran
Speaker 1: free agents, Am and Dola, that tough son of a gun,
Speaker 1: made some more catches. Uh, you look at something. The
Speaker 1: other guys are center, I go around one some cases
Speaker 1: traits and not just veterans whatever, whatever people you've brought me.
Speaker 1: We're getting a lot out of some guys getting some
Speaker 1: really good football, playing playing great form, doing a lot
Speaker 1: of things. You talked about a Mondola, you know, and
Speaker 1: us you know you think he had sitting sitting and
Speaker 1: go down with the injury. He was doing the same thing.
Speaker 1: And kill Gore the center really doing good stuff. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they're you know, but but but Joe, when you you
Speaker 1: talk about those guys and they all kind of fit
Speaker 1: the mold of of what all everyone else. You know,
Speaker 1: like I said that, they're over achievers of guys that
Speaker 1: that have gone out and found a way to get
Speaker 1: better each and every year in their career and play
Speaker 1: over their heads, and and and and so you've seen
Speaker 1: it happen here. Hey, By the way, you ever seen
Speaker 1: the linebacker run down a wide receiver. I saw a guy.
Speaker 1: I saw a guy wearing fifty five rundown and receiver
Speaker 1: was watching. I had to look because it was a
Speaker 1: little blurry the numbers a little blurry. Was you're moving
Speaker 1: so fast? I couldn't I couldn't say it open. And
Speaker 1: I go, man, that that's got to be one of
Speaker 1: the corners. And I look him. That was that rookie
Speaker 1: linebacker that we have right now. Man. Yeah, so three
Speaker 1: weeks in, things are feeling pretty good. Huh, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. You know, Listen, what's the experience been.
Speaker 1: I thought, Yes, at that Stateium, it was awesome. It
Speaker 1: was loud, and you know, but for you you're you're
Speaker 1: coming from someplace where it's loud and you're playing in
Speaker 1: front a hundred five thousand people. But there's a difference
Speaker 1: between I think a differce between a college crowd in
Speaker 1: an NFL crowd. Are you sensing the difference there? Yeah, definitely. Uh.
Speaker 1: In college, most of your you know, your fans and
Speaker 1: all that was loud as that it's in a student section. NFL,
Speaker 1: it's pretty much the whole stadium as well, So uh,
Speaker 1: it was definitely good to you know, see our fans
Speaker 1: out there again. Low for us. Hey, yuh, let's talk
Speaker 1: about yesterday's game. The way it started look like it
Speaker 1: might be a blowout. I mean they're going down to
Speaker 1: make it fourteen to nothing right off the bat, and
Speaker 1: I just thought things slowed down and and it demoralize
Speaker 1: the Raiders a little bit when they didn't score down
Speaker 1: on that goal line and make a fourteen nothing a
Speaker 1: too score game instead at seven nothing. Did you feel
Speaker 1: that way with that stop? Yeah, definitely. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: we just never give up, even you'rren down, you know, receiver,
Speaker 1: it's just never give up. Even when you get down there.
Speaker 1: We just don't let him in. So that was just
Speaker 1: a test of our character and we passed that. It
Speaker 1: was a dog fight out there yesterday. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: they're they're they're moving the ball, they're running the ball,
Speaker 1: pounding the ball pretty much. The whole game, and you
Speaker 1: guys spent a lot of time out in the football
Speaker 1: field out there, and then guys started to have guys
Speaker 1: started going down with injuries and losing guys, so a
Speaker 1: lot of guys played a lot of extra extra time
Speaker 1: out there. Um was there ever time in the huddle
Speaker 1: where where guys were down a little bit or you
Speaker 1: always felt like everyone's hey, look we we we got
Speaker 1: this under control. Don't worry about it. They're gonna turn
Speaker 1: around for us. Yeah. That that's the thing that makes
Speaker 1: us unique. Um, we never felt down. We never really
Speaker 1: felt like he was out. You know, we just gotta
Speaker 1: keep going, keep going. Um, even you know Saturday, we
Speaker 1: was saying that we're gonna go through some adversity and
Speaker 1: we're gonna just push through it. So, uh, that's just
Speaker 1: really what we did. When you talking about adversity, you're
Speaker 1: talking about being down seventeen to seven into the third quarter,
Speaker 1: they just went on a long drive and I'm going, oh,
Speaker 1: what do we have left? Because the defense offense gotta
Speaker 1: get going, defense gotta get stops. You guys are able
Speaker 1: to do it with the X man coming up with
Speaker 1: that big interception after they march back down the field.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking at that point? You guys been
Speaker 1: really good by the way the red zone defense come
Speaker 1: up with some huge plays. Yeah, it's just the credit
Speaker 1: to our you know, our team as a whole, Um offense,
Speaker 1: we feed they feed off our defense. Our defense feed
Speaker 1: off our offense. So our offense making plays, we kind
Speaker 1: of just fed off of that. And I'm guessing our
Speaker 1: same thing. Our offense is feed off of us. So, um,
Speaker 1: it just to credit to our team as a team. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we just stick together and you know went
Speaker 1: through with the win. You but you have a chance
Speaker 1: to watch the tapes after these uh these games, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring up two guys to you. Um, you're
Speaker 1: playing next to Kiko. Kikos has been all over the
Speaker 1: field since since since the then since the opening kickoff
Speaker 1: in the season started, right, Uh, keep, there's nothing like Kiko.
Speaker 1: Uh he he knows the whole defense in and out.
Speaker 1: He can play Mike, he can play Sam, you can
Speaker 1: play Will, you can play Kigo anywhere. You know, we
Speaker 1: have to do. So I'm having a guy like that,
Speaker 1: that big helpe. Um, you know, he's just a veteran guy.
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing and he just flies around.
Speaker 1: He an energy guy. Man. He brings energy that doesn't
Speaker 1: he flies around no matter what the ball that he's
Speaker 1: running full speed and he's coming with you know what
Speaker 1: about your cornerback X guys, you know when when they
Speaker 1: try to go have a big time, big points, big games,
Speaker 1: big situations, but he's come up with some huge, huge
Speaker 1: place for you guys already. Yeah, he's a playmakers. He's
Speaker 1: the X factor, uh, you know, having an interception, having
Speaker 1: you know, just knocking down on that third down. He
Speaker 1: just makes play. So it's just the credits to you
Speaker 1: know ex but you know that whole room is they
Speaker 1: come out every day and they work so big. Let's
Speaker 1: get into good stuff because there's a receiver today in Oakland,
Speaker 1: had a big game, but he got run down by you.
Speaker 1: What's going through your mind? You see it you started
Speaker 1: a little bit behind him there to have to catch up.
Speaker 1: What's going through that? Because I don't know if you
Speaker 1: ever thought you're gonna have to chase the guy this
Speaker 1: early in your career that far um, I you don't
Speaker 1: think about it, honestly, think I can catch anybody. I
Speaker 1: put my mind too. So when he was running, I
Speaker 1: just said, I'm gonna catch him and just keep running,
Speaker 1: keep running. Uh, it just worked out of my favorite.
Speaker 1: I caught up to him and I lived to play
Speaker 1: another down. How fun was that? It just seemed that
Speaker 1: the way the game ended with the big uh you know,
Speaker 1: Jachiem's first touchdown and then the reverse passed to Keen
Speaker 1: for the touchdown, and then when Albert went down the
Speaker 1: field and two guys are high five in each other. Uh,
Speaker 1: the it was it was hard work before then it
Speaker 1: got really fun towards the end of that game, didn't it. Yeah, definitely, Um,
Speaker 1: But that's what makes the ball fun. That the journey
Speaker 1: is what makes it fun. Um. Winning is, you know
Speaker 1: it's always great, but you know, just going through it,
Speaker 1: through that with your teammates and your brothers is it's
Speaker 1: a little bit more special. So it's the credits our
Speaker 1: team that you know, we fought through some things and
Speaker 1: came out with a win. How about the staff, your
Speaker 1: defensive staff, Matt Burke and all those guys, Tony Oden
Speaker 1: and uh historic Yeah, Um, I saw I thought I
Speaker 1: saw him. Ye only I saw that. I thought I
Speaker 1: saw him yelling at some DBS yesterday. He's gonna get everybody. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the whole staff is amazing. Honestly, everyones that we come
Speaker 1: in and uh, they have a great game plan for
Speaker 1: is and we believe in all our coaches. That's the
Speaker 1: main thing. No matter who it is, Coach Burger, coach Push,
Speaker 1: It don't really matter who it is. We just come
Speaker 1: in and uh, you know, if it might be another
Speaker 1: coach from a different position, you know you listen to
Speaker 1: him because you know they want the best interest. So uh,
Speaker 1: as a as a whole, our staff is really amazing.
Speaker 1: You know, the job of a coach is to demand
Speaker 1: the best out of their players, and some coaches go
Speaker 1: about it once one way. Some coaches go about it.
Speaker 1: I've had coaches where the demand but but but it
Speaker 1: kind of rings hollow and you're like, you don't pay
Speaker 1: attention to guy. But it really seems like these guys
Speaker 1: you believe in them, You believe in what they're teaching you,
Speaker 1: They believe in what they're telling you. And the reason
Speaker 1: I and the reason I feel like I see it
Speaker 1: is because because the effort is there. The effort is
Speaker 1: there each and everywhere, whether you're down seventeen seven or
Speaker 1: whatever the score is, you never see effort being an
Speaker 1: issue on this football team. I mean that they you know,
Speaker 1: preached that ever since I walked in the building. This
Speaker 1: we can fix a lot of things. We can't fix
Speaker 1: effort though, so uh, you know, even when Maka he
Speaker 1: chased down the receivers, it's just a credive. You know,
Speaker 1: we walked into building and you can't you can't really
Speaker 1: teach effort. That's the one thing they demand, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, our whole team we follow that. So after
Speaker 1: everything else, we can fix, you know, a little technique
Speaker 1: errors or things like that, but you can't teach effort. So, um,
Speaker 1: we really take that to heart. When you guys are
Speaker 1: studying films, Um, what what what looked good? What didn't
Speaker 1: look good? We're just curious from this last game, what
Speaker 1: was was the coaching most critical of Yeah, talking was
Speaker 1: the main thing going into the game. We need to do. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we can hit Marsan at the line of scrimmers,
Speaker 1: but he fall for five more yards. That's something you
Speaker 1: have to clean up on because it makes it hard
Speaker 1: at second and five that you know, the playbook is
Speaker 1: open for the offense, So things like that we gotta
Speaker 1: you know, just tighten up on. But it's a lot
Speaker 1: of little things that we need to tighten up. But
Speaker 1: the one thing that you know that was a good
Speaker 1: thing is our effort was still there. So you can
Speaker 1: always fix the little You said that, because two weeks
Speaker 1: in a row, hustle plays to save this team. Bobby
Speaker 1: McCain two weeks ago against the Jets, great effort comes
Speaker 1: from over in the corner, tackles Chris Herndon the tight
Speaker 1: end for the Jets, and Manka's play after yours. They
Speaker 1: end up scoring, but Maka tackles the same guy and
Speaker 1: they don't score on that. They don't get any points
Speaker 1: on that. So hustle plays two weeks in a row
Speaker 1: have been a big part. So I'm glad to hear
Speaker 1: you talking about It's definitely a big emphasis in the building.
Speaker 1: So it's sound good. Well, look, we appreciate you coming in.
Speaker 1: I know it's been a busy week for you and
Speaker 1: you don't get much time off, so we're gonna let
Speaker 1: you go and still like a little bit like coming in.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I appreciate it. All right, that's good.
Speaker 1: They just keep on playing. Man, You're doing a great job,
Speaker 1: and it's it's fun watching you out there, and uh,
Speaker 1: that linebacker group, and they've been making some big plays.
Speaker 1: And I tell you you're your big boys up front.
Speaker 1: Yesterday they were doing some running themselves the defense tackles. Now,
Speaker 1: I watched Vinca Jack's, Vincia Taylor and and seven tackles yesterday,
Speaker 1: running guys down over on the both both of them
Speaker 1: and running all over the place, sidelines to sideline. So
Speaker 1: you got some big men in the middle of there
Speaker 1: that are that are moving the low around pretty good. Definitely, Definitely,
Speaker 1: it's a credit to the d line. They do all
Speaker 1: the words. Linebackers just clean it up. So interested, hold on,
Speaker 1: but what else you got playing around? I might get
Speaker 1: a massage and I'm definitely gonna sleep him, all right,
Speaker 1: Do I appreciate it? Man? Thanks, thanks all. Appreciate a
Speaker 1: good stuff, man, good stuff, keep it going the bake man.
Speaker 1: He's a good sport to man, even when he's tired
Speaker 1: a little bit. Got five or six more guys like
Speaker 1: him on this football team. Man running around over the place.
Speaker 1: Get up and go out there, and here here's a guy.
Speaker 1: He's guys two fifteen pounds playing linebacker in this league,
Speaker 1: you know. And then he's out there covering and he's hitting,
Speaker 1: and he's doing all the all the things that you
Speaker 1: gotta do. And uh, I'll tell you they this this
Speaker 1: draft and last draft are really making a difference on
Speaker 1: this football team. About We've been talking a lot about
Speaker 1: the fifth round and six round picks from last year.
Speaker 1: Bo fifth and sixth round pick defensive tackles that two
Speaker 1: weeks in a row got yall and now Taylor had
Speaker 1: been so good. Look who's coming in? Johnny C? John?
Speaker 1: Could you have the whole gangs? I took it. It
Speaker 1: took us. It took us a while to finally get
Speaker 1: the whole gang here. But uh, I didn't have I
Speaker 1: didn't have any plans. I wanted to come in. I'm
Speaker 1: a great front run un what a great mood you're in.
Speaker 1: It is, John Conjemmy joined us and the John we've
Speaker 1: been kind of going over to give it you. It's
Speaker 1: kind of been smiling the whole time. It's it's just
Speaker 1: it's just a day after the way it was, after
Speaker 1: the way the game started yesterday, and through three quarters,
Speaker 1: you're just feeling the mood. It's just you're you know,
Speaker 1: we were down the sideline again and it just it
Speaker 1: was just, you know, it didn't feel good. It didn't
Speaker 1: feel good at all. And especially that last round when
Speaker 1: they're driving down the field, go my, you know, then
Speaker 1: all this done, all this good stuff kind of got
Speaker 1: back and and it may all go for not and
Speaker 1: but I tell you, things lit up with in the
Speaker 1: last last ten minutes of that football game will really
Speaker 1: change the pace of that game. But there was a
Speaker 1: lot of times I'm sure you guys felt it as well,
Speaker 1: that you're you're feeling like this is a bad scenario,
Speaker 1: this is a bad end of this movie. You know,
Speaker 1: I've seen this before, and I don't think a Dolphin
Speaker 1: team from even two years ago. Last year's team for sure,
Speaker 1: but even two years ago, they may not win that
Speaker 1: type of game only because it took explosive plays on offense.
Speaker 1: It took the entire roster on defense to find ways
Speaker 1: to make plays and to make game changing place to
Speaker 1: win that game. So it was it was so much
Speaker 1: fun when you put your fan hat on, because that
Speaker 1: crowd was into it. It was loud, and it was
Speaker 1: a belief on that sideline that hey, the offense had
Speaker 1: the defenses back, the defense had the offenses back. Special
Speaker 1: teams played their role in the game, but they were
Speaker 1: they were determined to find a way those players to
Speaker 1: win that game. And I can tell you both just
Speaker 1: from talking with the players after the game and throughout
Speaker 1: the week, you could feel there's a different confidence level
Speaker 1: or vibe in there. And it's not fake. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's really built on hard work and a mentality that
Speaker 1: they want to win. Well. Well, you you know, you
Speaker 1: learn to win. You know, you know winning is as
Speaker 1: much learned as it is anything. You gotta learn how
Speaker 1: to overcome, overcome adversity, fight through it. Come on and
Speaker 1: so and you see this team doing this, but you know,
Speaker 1: you to touch on what you just said. You know,
Speaker 1: you look on that offensive football team and you can
Speaker 1: look at you can look at three of your receivers,
Speaker 1: three year wide receivers. You can look at early one
Speaker 1: of your running back and one of your running backs
Speaker 1: and say, those guys are instant offense. Those guys, I
Speaker 1: don't care where are you on the field between Drake
Speaker 1: between Um, Albert Wilson, Jachim Grant, um Kenny Still, you
Speaker 1: could throw Davante in there. You know, those are all
Speaker 1: guys that anywhere on the field at a given moment,
Speaker 1: they can strike lightning and put points on the board.
Speaker 1: And that's what happened, And that's what I've heard on
Speaker 1: the text machine at work. Um, everybody just excited about
Speaker 1: how much fun it was to watch big plays, exciting plays.
Speaker 1: Uh the x Man Xamian. How much interception in the
Speaker 1: back of the end zone saved the game? They throw
Speaker 1: it up, they hit, he gets hit, Cam Wait quietly
Speaker 1: had some big pressures, made some big plays for us.
Speaker 1: So they're getting it from everybody right now. Man, it's
Speaker 1: been fun. And we go back to this. Not the
Speaker 1: fans really care or not. Guys, this is a close
Speaker 1: group of guys. Man, they play for each other. I
Speaker 1: really believe guys are looking and not going, hey, I
Speaker 1: need to get more involved so I can get paid.
Speaker 1: You're not. I'm not saying that's ever happened here before,
Speaker 1: but you just got a close group. How about how
Speaker 1: about the fact that you know, Vincent Taylor is playing
Speaker 1: close to fifty snaps yesterday and there's nobody, you know,
Speaker 1: there's nobody to come in there trying to tap out
Speaker 1: and there one they're just pointing back. I saw Jordan
Speaker 1: Phillips at one time Jordan Phillips starts walking on the
Speaker 1: sideline and he's like, He's like, you get back here.
Speaker 1: No no on the three there's only no no, no
Speaker 1: one here for you. Nothing to see over here. Get
Speaker 1: back in there. You know that's a That's what I
Speaker 1: mean that those types of things that you know, we
Speaker 1: went from a wealth of depth at defensive end and
Speaker 1: tackle yesterday and gosh, William Hayes, what a great player,
Speaker 1: and to see him go down that early on such
Speaker 1: a great play, and then you're looking at the end
Speaker 1: of the game, you're going to who else is gonna play?
Speaker 1: There's nobody else. They put Jesse Davis. I'm saying, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I had him on the on the radio.
Speaker 1: He's telling the story. It's pretty funny. He's sitting on
Speaker 1: the bench with the offensive guys in here's Matt Burke, Jesse,
Speaker 1: we needs you and the defensive tackle position. Is it
Speaker 1: all right? And he was checking with the coaches, is
Speaker 1: all right? I need him? And he jumped up. He
Speaker 1: was pumped up. He goes, man, this is completely I
Speaker 1: remember those days. I want to get in there. So
Speaker 1: so he's we know he's the extra defensive tackle and
Speaker 1: you know, it's nice about this football team is they've
Speaker 1: had to overcome really in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I mean they you know, the Jets, they got out too.
Speaker 1: I had a good start on him, had to come
Speaker 1: back early in the football game. And the first one
Speaker 1: against Tennessee but played played front front. But this game
Speaker 1: you had to come from way back. You had to
Speaker 1: dig down deep. And it was nice to see this team.
Speaker 1: And just like we said about learning to win, I
Speaker 1: think I think when you win a game like that
Speaker 1: where you're down a pretty we're down double digits, you
Speaker 1: know there there, it almost gives you a belief every
Speaker 1: time moving forward, Hey, look we've been there. We've been
Speaker 1: there before. We've been down before, so you don't get
Speaker 1: that panic or that or that you know there. There's
Speaker 1: games you play in where you get to a point
Speaker 1: where he's you know this ain't this ain't going the
Speaker 1: right way, and so you kind of you play out
Speaker 1: the rest of the game, but you really have don't
Speaker 1: have the energy level the the there and and so
Speaker 1: for a team to come back early in a game
Speaker 1: like this and win it, you stick down in the
Speaker 1: back of your head. You're filing the back of a head.
Speaker 1: We've been there, We've done it. If it happens again,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna panic. We just keep pushing to keep
Speaker 1: putting our pedal to the medal here and and get
Speaker 1: the job done eventually. I think this is the fastest group.
Speaker 1: I have been saying it all week, This fastest group
Speaker 1: receivers maybe in the history of this franchise as a group.
Speaker 1: Obviously not just running track fast because they make big plays,
Speaker 1: but the speed and the ability and and watching one
Speaker 1: guy catch up to another guy who's running away from
Speaker 1: the whole defense and high five them. That's got to
Speaker 1: be a first. I'm talking about it the last since
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season watching. To me, the teams
Speaker 1: that are gonna win in this league now are fast
Speaker 1: athletic teams. You look at the White in New England
Speaker 1: last night, you know, on their game on Sunday night,
Speaker 1: and like two plow horses running up and down the field. Now,
Speaker 1: now you flip over and look at some of the
Speaker 1: teams that we've seen, some of the other teams out
Speaker 1: there that are spreading it out. Yeah, man, that's why,
Speaker 1: you know, And so I think that's the I think
Speaker 1: that's the future with the with the rule changes and everything,
Speaker 1: and how tight they're calling things, especially like pass interference
Speaker 1: and all those things. And you got defensive liignment afraid
Speaker 1: to tackle the quarterback, all those things. It's gonna make it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna make fast and athletic much more of a
Speaker 1: premium in this league. And I think we're starting to
Speaker 1: see that. And the good thing to me is we're
Speaker 1: riding the cusp of that, of that type of a
Speaker 1: football take on both sides of the ball. You mentioned
Speaker 1: that post game against Oakland about the different body types,
Speaker 1: just taking Drone Baker for instance, in his body type
Speaker 1: of fifteen or two twenty running around covering and and
Speaker 1: even a guy like Vincent Taylor who's a big, strong dude.
Speaker 1: But did you watch him run uh Marshawn Lynch out
Speaker 1: of bounds on the screen. It's saved U some points.
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. There were two a couple of games.
Speaker 1: I saw him, you know, the quarterbacks rolling out on
Speaker 1: a on a naked boot, and he runs them down.
Speaker 1: He runs them down from the middle of the field.
Speaker 1: So you've got speed guys, guys, guys three pounds and
Speaker 1: and he's out running people out there. And then you
Speaker 1: wonder why, you know, the coaches are during training camp,
Speaker 1: all every practice even now, get to the ball, Get
Speaker 1: to the ball. These guys are running forty yards down
Speaker 1: the field just to touch Frank Gore to get to
Speaker 1: the football. And then you watch that from practice turn
Speaker 1: in game time and watch these guys run down people,
Speaker 1: and I think that's all a creature habit. You know,
Speaker 1: once you start doing it, it becomes second nature. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, every coach, hey, you you you, you play
Speaker 1: like you practice, you know, and if you're gonna practice lazily,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna play lazily. And then, like you said,
Speaker 1: he's got these guys, all the big guys running down
Speaker 1: if it's forty yards, run forty yards, touched the ball
Speaker 1: and then get back here. And I think it's just
Speaker 1: it's now, it's just that's just second nature to those
Speaker 1: guys once they're in the game and the switches on
Speaker 1: and they're going, they're doing their job. They're running into
Speaker 1: the football, and that's when good things happen. On defense.
Speaker 1: Start getting your hands on the football, Turnovers shorten the
Speaker 1: field for the offense. There's a lot of good stuff
Speaker 1: has happened in three weeks We've been talking about the
Speaker 1: two hustle players that have been made the last two
Speaker 1: weeks that have saved them two touchdowns halftime the Jets
Speaker 1: instead of them, we shut them out in the first
Speaker 1: ends up being a difference in the game, and then
Speaker 1: make a Fitzpatrick runs down and coverage whatever it is.
Speaker 1: But Jordy Nelson's running for a touchdown and he just
Speaker 1: trips him up, and we keep them out on a
Speaker 1: goal line, stand keep mouth the end zone. They don't
Speaker 1: gain points. How about how about X? You know, they
Speaker 1: throw the ball the Derek Carr throws the ball down
Speaker 1: the middlefield, everyone stops because it is so overthrown X.
Speaker 1: The only guy who doesn't stops Number twenty five keeps,
Speaker 1: keeps busting his ass, comes up with the interception, and
Speaker 1: everyone else has slowed down. I don't want to be
Speaker 1: that guy. I don't be one of those guys. Why
Speaker 1: I don't want to be one of those Oakland players
Speaker 1: watching that play on the film that did that slowed down.
Speaker 1: He had coming, no doubt. But yeah, it's the other thing, guys,
Speaker 1: is is you know, and we we touched on a
Speaker 1: little bit last week. Um the mad scientists in Adam
Speaker 1: Gaze is coming out. We we've seen it now for
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. And uh and and like he said,
Speaker 1: someone asked, hey, do you have more of those? You
Speaker 1: have more of those places. I got plenty of him.
Speaker 1: So I think we're and and but but he's talking
Speaker 1: about and we've talked about a lot in this show.
Speaker 1: Is he's got his guys. He's got he's got guys.
Speaker 1: You can do so many things with the moving pieces.
Speaker 1: He's gotta let me put this guy over here. Let
Speaker 1: me get a mismatch over here with this guy. Let
Speaker 1: me put this guy in the backfield. For the second game,
Speaker 1: they started with Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake in the backfield.
Speaker 1: And you're gonna see stuff coming off that to back.
Speaker 1: Two backfield seem two tights seen, three tights seem the four.
Speaker 1: I've seen everything out there, and and so everything I
Speaker 1: really think in his mind, Adam Gaze's mind, everything that
Speaker 1: in his play that everything that's in his playbook, it's
Speaker 1: always available. He's got one toy though, that he likes
Speaker 1: more than the others. Albert Wilson can do so many things.
Speaker 1: He can thought, he's one of the fastest guys on
Speaker 1: the team. I I didn't know until last week when
Speaker 1: he ran by the Jets and they missed on what
Speaker 1: would have been a long touchdown. But he can do
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. He can run out of
Speaker 1: the backfield. He makes a cut yesterday. Man, they had
Speaker 1: it contained to the outside, and he sees a hole
Speaker 1: and he hits it and it looked like he's running
Speaker 1: a hundred meters in the Olympics. The only the only
Speaker 1: thing that scared me about that was that Jachem geared
Speaker 1: it down to catch up to him. Oh yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: There is no question who the fastest man on the team.
Speaker 1: The man that's done. You're the undisputed fastest cat on
Speaker 1: the team, which is always a big deal. He's hit.
Speaker 1: You know what, guys, what's cool about the way Adam
Speaker 1: Gates is calling football games now, not only is the
Speaker 1: head coach, but as the play caller is he got
Speaker 1: away from you know what. This run is not working
Speaker 1: and we cannot run the football all today, no matter
Speaker 1: what we try to do, no matter what formation we're in.
Speaker 1: This is like going up against a brick wall. I'm
Speaker 1: tired of seeing it. Let's throw it, let's let's let's
Speaker 1: attack where we can by formation, and now let's make
Speaker 1: them move a little bit sideline and sideline with with
Speaker 1: guys in motion. I think that had a lot to
Speaker 1: do with the success in the second half, because there's
Speaker 1: only so many times you can try to run it
Speaker 1: in a game and it's not gonna happen. We run, well,
Speaker 1: look at it, but they had trouble. They have trouble
Speaker 1: running the football between the tackles, and they had trouble
Speaker 1: from the running back position trying to get out the side.
Speaker 1: So it says, so, geez, we can't get so well,
Speaker 1: let's let's do it in a different way. Let's get
Speaker 1: in a different way, doing the big way, spread out,
Speaker 1: get your receivers, get that misdirection coming back and forth.
Speaker 1: And that's what I thought to me from a just
Speaker 1: from a conceptual standpoint, the concept you know, we okay,
Speaker 1: we can't. We can't penetrate that that inside defense. We're
Speaker 1: having a hard trying to doing anything on the perimeters
Speaker 1: of that inside you know, front, seven guys from six guys,
Speaker 1: let's let's get out. Why let's get as wide out
Speaker 1: as we can. And so you bring those big you know, reverses,
Speaker 1: change the direction type of plays and and those were
Speaker 1: the plays that you you get three touchdowns off of.
Speaker 1: He started throwing on first down to hell and he
Speaker 1: got away from running play action first down. There were
Speaker 1: some big opportunities, but he had a role and he
Speaker 1: had matchups he wanted. We just missed a post. Padel
Speaker 1: was a beautiful route, a great route. He stems at
Speaker 1: the outside, comes back for the post. Ryan just misses.
Speaker 1: Kinney steals on the on the play, Davante Parker down
Speaker 1: the middle of the ball stone a little bit too
Speaker 1: much of the inside. So he had dialed up man.
Speaker 1: He had the matchups. He wanted no help. Either our
Speaker 1: guys gonna catch it or nobody's gonna get it. So
Speaker 1: I thought he was on his a game yesterday. Adam Gaze.
Speaker 1: You know, it was good to see the bald dispersement
Speaker 1: as well, because you had Gisicky down the middle, you
Speaker 1: got Kenny on and out, you got Davante over the top,
Speaker 1: you got Kenny on a corner. You to toss it
Speaker 1: on the touch pass with different motion and different formations.
Speaker 1: So I thought it was a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1: But Joe your point getting away from the run on
Speaker 1: the first down completely. I was kind of like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's coach, let's let's get away from that point. It
Speaker 1: ain't working and the bubbles early you know, nothing was
Speaker 1: nothing was there, right, So let's get somewhere else. And
Speaker 1: he did yeah, yeah, good, good, good stuff by that,
Speaker 1: and uh look, I I just you know, it's defensively,
Speaker 1: you know, I struggled against the run, but you know,
Speaker 1: did some other good stuff, good things out there. It
Speaker 1: just does. Um, I just keep going back to the
Speaker 1: fact that you know, here you are three and oh
Speaker 1: you know and and and you still you still have
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of room for improvement in
Speaker 1: the butcher. But but the basis of this team is
Speaker 1: really really strong from a from a conceptual standpoint on
Speaker 1: both sides of the football. You if you just look
Speaker 1: at the numbers today and you didn't watch and not
Speaker 1: on the stats stats were bad times minutes to twenty
Speaker 1: one minutes for US plays. But at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, and and all that said, they only give
Speaker 1: up two touchdowns. They've given up four touchdowns and three games.
Speaker 1: That's how you win. And you've had you've had two
Speaker 1: legitimate goal line stands. Legitimate goal line stands. First one
Speaker 1: in the first game when Minka comes up and makes it,
Speaker 1: makes the stop to keep you from going down. Tend
Speaker 1: nothing in that football game. You have the goal line stand.
Speaker 1: Yesterday there was a true goal and then you had
Speaker 1: the stop at the goal line at the end of
Speaker 1: the first half in New York. It was a goal
Speaker 1: line stand, but I mean it was you know, you
Speaker 1: make that plan out of the half yard line to
Speaker 1: stop a score. That's three big scores that this team
Speaker 1: has stopped that could have changed the impact, that could
Speaker 1: have changed the whole face those of those three of
Speaker 1: every single game. Well, they have one other thing going
Speaker 1: for him. Defensively, they have eight takeaway They got seven interceptions,
Speaker 1: which is tied for the lead in the NFL. If
Speaker 1: you just look at total yards, the Dolphins are right
Speaker 1: down at the bottom. But that's not the stat And
Speaker 1: I know you talked about it being part of those
Speaker 1: killer bees and used to give up your share of yards,
Speaker 1: but it was the same deal. You're getting a red
Speaker 1: zone and it's just that because you ain't scoring against US.
Speaker 1: I look, I think the number I looked at and
Speaker 1: I look at it every week. I think fifty two
Speaker 1: is the number Dolphins have given up. Fifty two points
Speaker 1: in three games, and and that's I believe it's fifty two,
Speaker 1: and that puts them fourth in the league. I think
Speaker 1: their fourth best in the league when it comes to
Speaker 1: giving up points, which to me is the most important.
Speaker 1: If you're looking at look at you look at all
Speaker 1: the defensive status you want, that's the one that counts
Speaker 1: is the points you give up. Had to give up,
Speaker 1: they would have been under twenty. Guy didn't kick he
Speaker 1: might and I'm going this unbelievable. They had to get
Speaker 1: twenty points by kicking a field goal to get there?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna holder asked to seventeen. Hey, we gotta
Speaker 1: thank one guy. We haven't thanked yet though, John Gruden
Speaker 1: for not giving it the beat vote and and side.
Speaker 1: If you don't think he got ripped on every are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? To the full back? Did you see
Speaker 1: how why he got and how strong and powerful that one.
Speaker 1: My man's getting chewed up out in the Bay Area.
Speaker 1: I guarantee he is getting he getting handled out that
Speaker 1: last week. Bothie not having a pass rusher like league,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He's like a he's like
Speaker 1: a Joey, He's like a nineteen seventy six to forties,
Speaker 1: trying to trying to play, trying to drive in Indianapolis
Speaker 1: right now, that old car ain't chugging bad. He goes there,
Speaker 1: you need to get he's been mine. He's been out
Speaker 1: of the game for fifteen years. He's driving that old
Speaker 1: card and he's O. These these guys all got another
Speaker 1: driving fuel and Jerry the windows down, try to take
Speaker 1: some girls out in that bad boy. That was It
Speaker 1: looked great. It was a great but it had it
Speaker 1: would drive it just nothing worked on it outside it
Speaker 1: was The engine was great. It was a route beer
Speaker 1: brown too. It was a two sixty or two forties,
Speaker 1: and I had and I had bullhorns on the front
Speaker 1: of it. I got some long horns and put I
Speaker 1: don't know if I you had them on when you
Speaker 1: got it, when I got you the car, But put
Speaker 1: the longhorns on the front. That's all I care. But
Speaker 1: not having air conditioning living down here when one month
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I ever got paid for
Speaker 1: that car. I mean, Joe here, just take the car.
Speaker 1: Pay me whatever you want to pay, whatever you whatever
Speaker 1: you want to pay, make it thirty five grand. But
Speaker 1: I paid you. I was making a little money, I
Speaker 1: said I just take the car. The hell I don't
Speaker 1: get another. Really, I still remember going, really you'll sell
Speaker 1: it to me. But but I think Gruden is he's
Speaker 1: he's I think he's you know, he gotta get up
Speaker 1: to speed. He gotta get up to speed with today's game.
Speaker 1: Um the you know, it was funny because you're thinking, gosh,
Speaker 1: you see four in that in that situation, and later
Speaker 1: in the game he went over the top like he
Speaker 1: he looked like Barry Sanders, you know, I mean he
Speaker 1: was he was Billy Sims and he's two forty. You
Speaker 1: talked about that guy, you talk I mean, you know
Speaker 1: he was out of He was out of football for
Speaker 1: two years before he came back with the Raiders. And
Speaker 1: that guy just I can't tell how many times I'm
Speaker 1: standing down there see him stood up after about a
Speaker 1: yard game, I go, good, that's a nice stop. Second
Speaker 1: and eight. He broke two or fifteen pounds. He broke
Speaker 1: some serious tackles. He's a powerful dude. Even when he
Speaker 1: got the ball out in the flats, he ended up
Speaker 1: getting first downs. He just breaks after contact. Is he's
Speaker 1: special man. He looks he looks quick. Uh, that's impressive.
Speaker 1: But they got some. I mean, if we're doing a raider,
Speaker 1: so they got some other So Gruden's got all this power,
Speaker 1: You got some of the old guys knowing that what's coming,
Speaker 1: the hammers coming. It's it's he didn't have all those guys.
Speaker 1: I just want to well, I know, handed the ball
Speaker 1: to his fullback. I know this. They're they're there, they're
Speaker 1: now two faces. I like to see at that one
Speaker 1: moment in that game where you realize we're not gonna
Speaker 1: win this game. First it's Nick Saban seeing that face
Speaker 1: and a look at his and you don't see it
Speaker 1: very you don't see it very all you see in
Speaker 1: a National champions And and my next, my next best,
Speaker 1: My next favorite is Chucky. Next is John Gruden seeing
Speaker 1: when you when he realizes it's all said and done,
Speaker 1: and he's got that pitiful yeah, matter of in a
Speaker 1: blink of he had a pretty pretty good situation. Right, Well,
Speaker 1: how about you go down and score to take the lead,
Speaker 1: and they take it right back down the field and
Speaker 1: I'm sitting they're going to know they're gonna take this thing.
Speaker 1: They're gonna stick it down our throat and you're gonn
Speaker 1: putting the end zone and that's all gonna be for
Speaker 1: not you know, then you get the big interception and
Speaker 1: I think you I remember, I remember a picture when
Speaker 1: you first were doing TV and you were down, down,
Speaker 1: down by the goal line, and uh, you know you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be you know, you're supposed to be a
Speaker 1: journalist and you're supposed to be you know, neutral down
Speaker 1: and I'll never forget someone's running across the goal line.
Speaker 1: And it was a front page picture in the newspaper
Speaker 1: and right where you can see when he when Vin,
Speaker 1: let me tell you when Xavian caught. When Xavien caught
Speaker 1: that interception my hands, I was like, yeah, I was
Speaker 1: almost gonna high I was always gonna high step out
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. That was What a
Speaker 1: great play, what a great play man leading the league
Speaker 1: now tied for three interceptions, most in the league. Awesome, awesome,
Speaker 1: good stuff. You know what, that was an emotional game.
Speaker 1: Everyone's been kind of You're sitting on the edge of
Speaker 1: your seat. You say you feel good, you don't feel good.
Speaker 1: You're back in it. You got a chance as you're
Speaker 1: in commanding lead. Oh, here they come. The Dolphins fall,
Speaker 1: and I think it's just the leak Kigo. Alonso said, Joe,
Speaker 1: that's the National Football It is the way it's gonna be. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeahs yesterday and said that, I was like, wow, go
Speaker 1: go go back to ten and six. Every game was
Speaker 1: like that. You know the difference between ten and six
Speaker 1: and what we did last year's We weren't in the games.
Speaker 1: You weren't in Manuels game. But but but the year
Speaker 1: before they were always came down to last. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. It is the National Football League. Okay, quickly
Speaker 1: before we go, let's take a quick gun look ahead
Speaker 1: to New England Patriots. Uh, because no matter what you
Speaker 1: say about these three wins, and no matter what you
Speaker 1: say about New England and how they looked against Detroit,
Speaker 1: and I know they're one and two, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you what, you know, you better, you better, you
Speaker 1: better bring your a game, and you better be ready
Speaker 1: for a fight up there, because that football team is
Speaker 1: not gonna go down easy in their backyard, not after
Speaker 1: the embarrassment that they put out on on Sunday night,
Speaker 1: because that was that was they look, they look really
Speaker 1: really bad. And to me, they got two people, two
Speaker 1: things going from on that football team, Bill Belichick and
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and beyond that, you don't have a whole lot.
Speaker 1: I um, I tell everybody because people, you know, people
Speaker 1: are going they watch it last night and they're gonna
Speaker 1: hang And I said, listen, I would just ask you this,
Speaker 1: because the Dolphins had a lot of different teams. How
Speaker 1: many times outside of uh, Ronnie and Ricky, how many
Speaker 1: times winning up there have you beat him up there? Joe?
Speaker 1: How let me ask you this. Let me put it
Speaker 1: this way. How many times have have has this team
Speaker 1: gone up there and play the first half? Where you man, man,
Speaker 1: we there, we we got these guys on the run,
Speaker 1: we think, and then all of a sudden that second half.
Speaker 1: That the second half, right. I will say one thing
Speaker 1: that I noticed last night, and I hadn't watched New
Speaker 1: England over the first two weeks, but I watched that
Speaker 1: entire game last night. There's a way to take Rob
Speaker 1: Gronkowski out of the game the way Detroit did and
Speaker 1: make the other guys try to get open. Tom Brady
Speaker 1: looked as frustrated as I've ever seen him play a
Speaker 1: game in terms of he knew he had no chance
Speaker 1: if he if those if he couldn't check it down
Speaker 1: to the backs and make them miss, make somebody miss
Speaker 1: to get first downs. They were screwed. He threw some
Speaker 1: balls to to some guys that were right on target,
Speaker 1: were right through their hands. And and so I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, he's going to Michel too in flat and
Speaker 1: and normally he's probably thinking, why isn't James White and
Speaker 1: again that guy can catch it, right. I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I don't want this rookie and I want my guy in.
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing bo is Philip Dorsett couldn't get open.
Speaker 1: Uh Sun dropped a couple of there were some there
Speaker 1: were some opportunities to get back in it, but he
Speaker 1: had nowhere to go with the ball. Right. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: we just can't have a great first thing is that
Speaker 1: ground cap seven eight catches for two teams can't be
Speaker 1: one of those that that all being said, and they
Speaker 1: look sluggish last night. Tom Brady looked frustrated. He has
Speaker 1: he's got very few weapons. Knew what. That team scares
Speaker 1: the hell out of me, man, because I guarantee you
Speaker 1: they're gonna go through it. They're gonna go through a
Speaker 1: ball's he work we could practice with with Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: He's gonna let him know, in no uncertain terms. And
Speaker 1: and this is the division game at home, a team
Speaker 1: that they've dominated at home. Um, you know, don't don't
Speaker 1: don't think this is gonna be anything anything less. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be nothing less than New England or the
Speaker 1: Dolphins that we've seen for the last two days. I
Speaker 1: think that's what the players should expect. I don't think
Speaker 1: that they're gonna think, hey, we're three and oh beat
Speaker 1: our chest, go to New England. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: the makeup of this team. I really don't, and I
Speaker 1: really don't see it. Probably gonna get some some good weather,
Speaker 1: what sixties maybe a seventy max out there, pretty good
Speaker 1: football weather. Well, you know, when this thing drops on Thursday,
Speaker 1: I gotta feeling some of those people are gonna be
Speaker 1: on tune in radio. They're probably gonna get the Dolphin
Speaker 1: app up there, some of the New England coaches and stuff,
Speaker 1: because we give all we give good information out that
Speaker 1: coaches from the coaches could use. Or they go they'll
Speaker 1: go to Dolphins dot Com, they'll go to uh tune
Speaker 1: in radio, They'll go to Dolphins probably got the Dolphins app.
Speaker 1: What else have we got in there? All those different places.
Speaker 1: Drop on Thursdays. You know it's a good drop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was good drop d you've been missing drop shott?
Speaker 1: Who do you kitch more? Because I know your game?
Speaker 1: Who who do you get the most when you throw
Speaker 1: that little lob over the top that gets just about
Speaker 1: to the line and then you hit that little chippy
Speaker 1: shot that you who pulls a hamstring coming up the
Speaker 1: most on that one? None of my guys pull hamstring
Speaker 1: because nobody any speed. Haven't seen anybody in that group
Speaker 1: I played with that runs hard enough to get Have
Speaker 1: you been playing? I'm just asking you played everyone else
Speaker 1: in there a little bit. I want to know what
Speaker 1: I got my mother in law. My mother laws down
