They're doing good things out there, 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:33.239 and Ed Moore's doing a lot of good things. Let 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.200 me tell you something. Real good family Teddy as good 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.280 and as big a Dolphin fan as you'll ever get. 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.080 You're up there with him. Man, he doesn't want to socialize. 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.479 He wants to watch every player game. Yeah, he's serious 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:50.519 about And Joe, speaking of watching the game, Um, what 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.440 a game to watch yesterday? It was a it was 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.520 a crazy here what I'm gonna tell you what. I'm 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.720 sitting down there, Joe. And it was hot out there, 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.960 and and the script was a little different than we 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.480 wanted because it was our defense was out there the 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.040 majority of time getting worn out with the heat out there. Well, 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.400 the Raiders are sitting over there, their defense is sitting 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.640 over there, just kind of hanging out, chilling over there 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.360 and everything. So um, but it was a game that really, Joe, 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.679 I'm going into the fourth quarter, goo, man, you know, 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:20.800 I don't know, I don't know how we're gonna dig 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.840 out of this thing. It's gotta happen. It's gotta happen. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.200 Now it goes seventeen seven. They go on a long drive. 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.399 But I'm thinking, what you are, Well, you can't wear 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.080 out the Raider defense if you don't make them play. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.080 And they were just having drive after nice drive and 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.399 and chewing up a lot of minutes seventeen seven, couple 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.720 of minutes left in the third and uh, that's when 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.920 Adam Gaze was absolutely at his best with this play. 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:53.880 Cons just absolutely per perfected trick plays, setting up past plays, matchups, 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.560 getting everybody involved. Boat is beautiful man. And and and 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.640 you know you talked about the drive that they took 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.760 the ball late in the game, take the ball right 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.440 down the field, and you go, oh, my goodness, this 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.520 is gonna be one of these things. And then X 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.120 comes up second interception of the day, and you talk about. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.240 You know, we've watched him grow over the last half 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.040 full of years. And you know, you really kind of 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.760 saw him last year towards the last second half of 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.480 that season, really blossom into what you thought he was 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.960 gonna be when they drafted him. And and and now 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.760 this year he has just become a shutdown guy. And 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.560 you want to throw maybe the biggest play at the 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.880 biggest point in the game, he goes up, takes the 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.279 ball away, perfect position, and gives it off as an opportunity. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.320 And boy, I'll tell you what it's. It's it was. 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.240 He's become a beast out there less two weeks in 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.160 a row in the red zone when we needed to 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.160 stop to to keep the lead and get the most 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.240 switched back. And he has just been bo right now. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.400 And I know we're not even a quarterway through the season. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.080 He's playing at a Pro Bowl, any question, pro level, no, 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.480 no question about it. Now. Now, there was some bad 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.760 news in the game. Uh uh, you know, we lose 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.160 We lose William Hayes, the defensive end, defensive tackle. Who 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:06.239 you know, Joe. We were with him. I was just 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.880 sitting there next to him at the game at the St. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.000 Thomas game, from when we did high school football on 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.359 Friday night with the Audible. I was sitting next to 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.360 him talking to him during the game, and you know, 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.040 and you see him go down and he just likes 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.280 it's it's gut wrench because we're talking just about he 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.880 just he's so excited about high school football, so excited 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.160 about playing, getting ready for the game and stuff. And 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.840 then you find then then you find out the tears 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.040 in a c l and and he's gone for the season, 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.280 and and this that one hurts. That one hurts because 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.680 he's one of my favorite players, one of my favorite players, 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.440 because you know, he's always gonna give you what he's got. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.400 And you talk about he's a run guy. He's a 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.240 run guy. But he's done some pretty good things in 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.600 the past. Game too fresh one before he got injured, 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.080 or to to as good a place as you're gonna see, 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.280 and to see the way he goes down just you 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.160 break your heart. And you knew right away it was 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.480 bad by his reaction because he's a tough son of 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.960 a gun. He got some other injuries out there, Derby's 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.360 out there and but he he could be back. I know. 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.080 Bobby McCain went under the tent. I don't know what 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.920 his situation is gonna be. Uh as far as concussion 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.720 protocols or anything. Who else we got nicked up out there? 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.040 Um uh Andre Branch I'm not not sure what you 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.920 know what the you know what that's gonna be there. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.080 They're all listening to day to day. Um. But hey, 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.680 look you know what, you know there's a week a 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.680 week ago, next man up and you get him going. 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:22.800 Uh at this point in the in the in the 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.400 uh at this point in the season, Chase Allen also 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.520 lost him and he was big. Yeah, he was big 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.120 because you know he stepped in two weeks ago and 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.200 they were using him instead of Joe Baker in the 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.839 run game. And that's really what struggle that they struggled 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.400 with last you know, both sides of the ball is 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.800 that's that was the biggest struggle all day, running the 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.919 football when you have they all had the ball, and 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.800 stopping their running game when they had the football because 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.520 they just they just kinda I mean with Marshawn Lynch, 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.640 I mean they were just four in five yard chunks 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.760 and when you thought you had him stopped for three, 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.280 he'd grind out four more for you. But he Uh, 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.440 he made a lot of guys missed tackles. Uh, he 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.320 broke a lot of tackles. It seemed like on first 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.239 down he was getting five, six, seven, eight yards every 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.599 time and putting them in a great opportunity for Carter 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.800 if you wanted to throw up, which he does love 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.000 to throw it. But yeah, overall the line, that's what 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.679 made this so amazing. Bow I couldn't run the football. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.800 The penalties came back, the penalty bug was back again, 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.640 and yet they still found a way to score twenty 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.000 one points in the last quarter and a couple of minutes. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.880 Just amazing. So that game, watching that game, um, you 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.640 know Ryan, Ryan was very efficient I mean throwing the football, 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.160 I mean boom boom. Had you know that the problem 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.440 with the problem with moving the ball down the field 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.200 wasn't him throwing the football. It was a lack of 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.400 the running game and and the penalties in the passing game. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.599 You know, you had a couple of big first down 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.760 I think Amondola called back. Uh, you had another one 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.640 I think to Gore called back from a from a 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.680 holding penalty, and and those listen talking to listen to 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.120 Bob during the broadcast, look not only you lose the 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.839 ten yards and penalty yards, but you lose the twenty 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.120 that you made up on the play, and so you 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.120 start buddling those numbers together and it's it's big numbers. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:12.600 But look that that was. So that was one of 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.559 those games. It was just it which is a hard 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.560 fought dog fight game out there, and and the the 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.000 in snap the in snap penalties, to me, Joe, are 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.720 hard to are hard to fault guys for when the 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.119 game is being contested the way that one was. Yeah, 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.800 and I don't usually complain about calls, but I thought, 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.400 I think there was some bad calls, really bad calls. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.279 Kinney Steeles. We we saw it up there and it 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.200 was a real crap call. It just was awful. It's 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.760 one that Adam Gates call is about and they go, yeah, 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.039 we we missed on that's clearly trying to get away 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.520 from the guy who comes up and makes the contact. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.640 That was a terrible call. So Jachim that called Jachim 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.320 on on on nothing, nothing, call on stuff that we 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.080 watch everybody do to the Dolphins through the years and 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.320 and have great success. But I will tell you, on 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.440 a positive note, this is about as fast a group 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.360 of guys bow as I've seen and I was, like 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.200 I said this morning, it turned from a football to 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.640 attract me. When you start looking at Albert speed, you 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.480 start looking at Jackie speed, and you look at Kenny 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.679 Steels running by guys, Uh, they are fun to watch 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.440 me and they really are at the speed and and 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.320 and the calls great and it looked like Adam Gates 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.160 took everything out of the book of like it's time 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.080 to throw this in. Well, Joey, it kind of fits though. 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.160 I mean, if you looked at the game, you know, 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.320 they're trying to penetrate there, trying to run the ball 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.960 in the side, trying to pound it, pounded, pounded, not 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.640 getting anything. And so next thing, you know, all of 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.920 a sudden, now they're starting the perimeter and they're starting misdirection, 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.800 and they're starting change and you know, going one way 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.400 coming back the other way, and so you know you've 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.520 kind of got you kind of got that radar defense 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.400 bottled up in the middle there say Okay, this is 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:56.840 how we're gonna get out, and there was how we 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.360 get wide and tell those plays work, you know, Joe, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:04.000 those play don't rarely you see one play like that work. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.240 As well as one of those day. But to have 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.240 two plays, three plays like that work, it was pretty 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.559 pretty amazing. You're talking about a thirty four, thirty six, 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.720 fifty and a seventy yard play bow and all of 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.240 a sudden, three of those are touchdowns. You gotta go. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.160 I'll tell you something else. Adam Gates didn't that game 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.760 that I really liked. I thought it was important to 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.480 get Davante Parker first game back. He catches the take off, 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.640 that's some point. He got everybody involved. It looked like 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.640 bow at times. I go out, it seemed like all 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:38.120 five receivers were playing with DeVante back. They were all 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:39.920 in there, and they weren't. Of course, there was three 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.000 of them get sick. He played a lot as well, 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.040 But man, I had I did a good job get 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.600 everybody involved in the game plan, where both we talked 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.080 about when it's over, everybody feels like they're a part 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.599 of it. Yeah, you know, it was nice. It was 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.960 nice to see DeVante back, uh, you know, and we 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.960 hope that he stays healthy and continues to to play 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.480 it the way we we we want to play. But 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.960 we've seen us and downs from him. But I'm with you, 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.400 getting the ball, making sure he had the ball, making 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.079 sure he was part of it, and the whole thing. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:07.839 It just you know it, You know what it does, 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.000 because I gotta feel if you're a guy like Davante 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.400 Parker and what you've gone through in the situation and 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.400 you come in with a lot of promise this year 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.080 and boom, all of a sudden, you break your finger. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.560 Now you're out for a while. You gotta be thinking 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.079 to yourself, and you know, when you're by yourself, he's 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.200 where do I fit here? What's my situation? You know? 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.000 Am I getting run? You know? These guys are all 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.760 making big plays. I'm not. I'm not playing. They're sitting 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.480 there playing this and that. And you know that that 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.959 that that that digs he digs down in your soul, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:36.640 you know when you play this game and to be 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.080 able to get back and he comes right to you 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.160 and feel like you it's almost like, hey, come on, 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.400 let's give you a big hug.

I think getting him in the game, 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.880 getting him, getting him to uh, getting him involved in 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.920 the game, big big move on the whole staffs part. 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.920 And after the game, I went in the locker room. 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:05.960 I just had to get a fil couldn't get enough 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.120 of what had just happened. So I went in there. 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.040 Kenny Steals is talking to Davante Parker before he left, 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:16.040 and and I just went, you know, Kenny, besides what 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.160 he's done on the football field, three touchdowns already, but 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.880 I was thinking, he's working behind the scenes man like 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.200 coach case. I get it why he thinks he wanted 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.559 leaders on the team. He was like, hey, there's more 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.680 to come. He was talking to Vante and we're talking 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.320 about Hey, I'll see you later. And I went, wow, 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.679 that's pretty cool. Yeah, and let me tell you Kenny Stills. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.000 I said, look, Joe, we see him every every we 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.720 go to high school football every week. Here he is, 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.000 goes to every game, goes every game, and he and 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.560 he's out in the community and he does things. And look, 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.400 I know there's people, there are people out there that 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.000 look at Kenny Stills and you know they they've just 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.640 got nothing but bad things to say about him and 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.200 in his position that he's taken with this football team. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.880 But you know this guy, this guy goes out to 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.319 the community each and every week, reaches out to kids. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.880 He was at the veterans hospital last week. He goes 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.800 he rides along with the police department to go into 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.000 the inner cities and try to talk to the kids 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.240 that say about hey, look, the police aren't your enemy. 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.440 They're they're your friends if you you know, if you 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.920 treat them the way, they're gonna treat you the way 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.240 you treat them. And and he goes out and he 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.400 delivers his message. And I don't think people I don't 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.199 think people get that. And that and and and that 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:28.600 that carries over into the way he he manages himself 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:30.800 in the locker room and on the football team. Just 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.480 like you talked about. He reaches out, you know, reaches 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.280 out inclusion, bringing people together. So you know, I just 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.520 I just think he gets I just think he gets 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.480 a bad knock to me, he's become really become one 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.880 of my Look, I can go down the list of 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:49.160 guys on this team, my favorite guys. Every that's my favorite. 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.800 I told my wife, who doesn't know a lot about 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.520 the guys. And we're talking last night, I said, man, 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.079 I said, it is just a really good group of guys. 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.600 Like I just want to tell all the fans, like, Hey, 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.800 I've been around some teams that have had a lot 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.240 of turds and a lot of individuals and a lot 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.080 of guys that will just kill your team. I've been 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.400 around a few good guys. We've been around wild guys. Christian, 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.400 that's a really good group of guys. This group we have, well, 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.080 they're they're all, they're all. They're all single minded. They're 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.240 all single minded about the goal being a better football team, 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.480 winning football games, and doing it as a whole group 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.480 enjoy it. Kind of reckons me back to we we 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.920 were very fortunate when we played. Look, although we had 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.800 some on the team that we didn't you know, you 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.320 didn't deal with like to deal with or whatnot. But um, 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.680 you know, the vast majority of our team, you know, 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.959 you cared for everybody. You were happy whenever. Even even 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.760 if it's a guy that's that's trying to take your 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.400 job and makes a play, you're happy for him. You know. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.240 It's so and you really see a lot of that, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.680 and and you know teams are so close. The talent 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.839 level on every team of this from the worst to 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:02.560 the last, is so close that sometimes it takes more 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:07.640 than blocking, tacking, tackling, catching, throwing. It takes more than that. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.120 There's some intangible in there that sometimes you need that 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.200 intangible And no, you probably saw it last year when 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.440 you saw the Philadelphia Eagles go on the run. They 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.480 went on you know, intangibles, you get your backup quarterback 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:23.199 comes in and they rally around. So it always takes 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.120 something like that, and you're starting to believe that this 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.640 football team has that intangible. I don't know where they're 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.280 gonna go. I don't know how many games are gonna win. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.439 All I know is what they've done. Now, they've you know, 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.600 they've they've fought their way to three wins without really 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.560 haven't played their best, their best football across the board, 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.240 we haven't playing the played a really great game in 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.400 every aspect of the game. But they're finding ways to win. 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.640 And so it makes you believe that maybe this football 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.560 team has that little intangible something in there that's gonna 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.199 drive them. Two good things. I still I agree there's 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.400 still a better game to coma a more consistent game 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.200 when you were talking about hey for everybody, and and 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.880 early the first couple of weeks a while, you beat Tennessee. 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:08.280 So what well, Uh, Tennessee went into Jacksonville yesterday everybody 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.640 thought the best team and they may be the best 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.959 team in the ANFC. They beat them. Bow and oh, 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.840 by the way, the Bills are supposed to be so bad. 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.200 They pounded Minnesota, who everybody thought might be the best 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.240 team or one of the two or three best teams 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.720 in the NFC. So Bow, like you said, if you 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.120 don't bring at some point, you're a game. And the 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.920 Dolphins have done it late, they've done it early. They've 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.280 come up with a lot of big plays, got eight takeaways. 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.760 If you don't do some of those things, Bo, you 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.560 don't win games in this league. I look at it 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.360 a different way. And I was thinking about this when 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.760 I was when I was driving home, uh, because I 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.400 heard heard someone say, um, and I go, this goes 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.120 back to the one in fifteen year and then and 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.400 then they come in the next year and go ten 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.440 and six and get to the playoffs under the Sperrantos 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.880 eleven and five. I'm sorry, yeah, and go to the 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.720 playoffs and all year long I'm here in We'll go, oh, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.440 they got a soft schedule, and I'm going wait a minute. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.960 They were one in fifteen. They were the soft schedule. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.800 The Dolphins were the soft schedule. Dolphins were the soft schedule, 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:15.320 and everybody's schedule. Everybody's in this football team today, this 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.960 football team right now. What was happening in the middle. 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.520 They were, Oh, they're the thirty second best team. Well no, 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.960 maybe not the thirty second best, but they're thirty one 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.160 at best. Well you know what, And I heard someone go, well, 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:30.560 you know a schedule, they're a soft schedule. If you're here, 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.640 people are picking you to be the thirty first ranked 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:36.520 team in this league. You're the soft schedule for everybody. 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.320 Nobody's soft, and the only person that's soft is that 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.440 team is at thirty two. That's it. You got no 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.960 business day and it's a soft schedule. When everyone's got 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.680 you ranked at the bottom of the heat many I'll 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.160 tell you what, Uh, you're right about that. And those 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.720 preseason power polls they weren't not the bullshit. That's for 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.760 all you people out there to have listened to this 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.640 this podcast and go on, you know so and so 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.400 out in San Francisco has the Dolphins went to do 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.800 it when they were assholes? What did they know? You know? 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.960 I mean, damn, you gotta be around there, geen to 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.760 figure out what the hell they're about a little bit, 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.600 you know. Yeah. So anyway, you know what, I was 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.640 happy to get that off my chest. Is there anything else? 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:19.920 There is? The look? They're still more in there? You 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.360 know that, Joe, you know they're still more in there. Oh. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.040 Sometimes I just need an igniter, you know, I just 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.240 need to I just need someone to flick the switch, 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:32.680 you know. Anyway, anyway, let's get back to Let's get 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:39.120 back to the task at hand here, Joe, um, Uh, 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.240 I could not couldn't help it. Man, you just got 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:46.480 me go. You know how to stick me? Yet? Stick me? Hey? 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.520 So so I'm having this conversation. Uh. During the post games, 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:55.760 haw were sitting wait through three games. Through three games, 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.520 my m v P and his team is Jachim Grant 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:03.280 or Albert Will maybe one of those two. Each of 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.879 made big plays in every game, noticeable plays, plays that 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.560 made a difference in virtually every game. Guys that you 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.720 would you normally wouldn't think of those guys in that vein. 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.720 I keep going back to Jakim, you know, a year 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.560 ago training camp. If he if he drops two punts 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.360 in the preseason, he ain't on this team. Yeah. Hey, 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.040 by the way, there were a lot of guys that 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.679 cover the team every day. They thought there was no 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.639 slam dunk he was gonna be back because of his 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:34.239 problems catching punts and being consistent. And look at him now, 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.440 look at how big a part. And again it goes 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.960 back a lot of Dadam Gates because he's using him 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.720 absolutely the right way right now. So he's got three 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:48.479 touchdowns both the X man is taking it up and 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:53.320 his two red zone interceptions the last two weeks, uh 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.239 have been big. He's got to be the last two 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:56.880 weeks because the first week didn't even throw the ball. 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.520 But that's just respect, man, I mean, he he's got 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.200 to get some serious consideration. I know it's just a corner. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.720 He's not scoring touchdowns, but he's got to be up there. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.680 But I'm with you on those other two guys both, Uh, 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.919 the three speechers on offense have eight touchdowns now on 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.440 this team, eight touchdowns. When you look at Grant, Albert 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:21.679 Wilson and Kenny Steals eight touchdowns unbelievable. And if you 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.160 want to throw in nine on a pass play, he's 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:28.159 responsible on a great throw that he made yesterday, just uh, 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.200 let that throw he makes coming around. Of course he's 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.520 a former quarterback and played that. But it's impressive. Though. Hey, 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.920 how about a couple of the throws that uh that 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.679 that Ryan's made now? He throwing one through one down 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:41.040 the far side and I think that was I think 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:45.320 that was the one to that was the right was 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.000 a DeVante. He dropped it down over the top. I 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:49.760 was thinking, I thought you were throwing was Kinny Steals 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.840 in the back of the ends that one too, that 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.720 one the sideline, that one. I mean, for all those 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:57.960 guys out there that you know, that's still you know, 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.879 kind of grab ahold of the Handehills can't throw the 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.520 ball deep downfield. Well, you know, I think that's that's 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.520 that's that's been debunked. That that that's a part of 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.560 his that's a problem in his game. You know what else? Amazing? Um, 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.640 the run blocking wasn't there. Past protection still really good. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.520 I know play action helped a little bit, especially when 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:21.320 we start going on first down yesterday, but man, given 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.639 Ryan Tannehill time to look and by the way, if 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.360 somebody's not open, hit us a huge nineteen yard run 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.959
