Speaker 1: Alright, the audible, the gang is We're back, John and
Speaker 1: I are back here. I think we gotta I think John,
Speaker 1: I think Jo. We gotta realize it. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: uh We're gonna be get a guest appearance. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be just a guest appearance from Joe every now. He
Speaker 1: doesn't usually gets paid handsomely. We always always gets paid handsomely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he doesn't mind that. Kimbo camper, John con Jemmy with
Speaker 1: you and the Audible is presented by Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer
Speaker 1: Center as part of the University of Miami Health System
Speaker 1: and South Florida's only cancer center of excellent. By the way,
Speaker 1: before I move on Sunday's game, I think the UH
Speaker 1: the Dolphins Cancer Challenge presented him with a check for
Speaker 1: I believe over five billion dollars for last year's money.
Speaker 1: That puts him up to about twenty seven million dollars
Speaker 1: or somewhere they're in total funds raised for the UH
Speaker 1: the Dolphins Cancer Challenge, and all the money goes down
Speaker 1: to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Cancer Center. So I'm want to
Speaker 1: I want to thank you and could congratulate everybody involved
Speaker 1: with that and uh from from everyone that the start
Speaker 1: of the bike ride that participated, uh that organized that
Speaker 1: did volunteered everyone down to Sylvester and everything they do.
Speaker 1: So we're really a good thing that Dolphins doing. It
Speaker 1: was good to see that on on Sunday afternoon and
Speaker 1: the way that you know, they had everybody involved, from
Speaker 1: the owner of the Miami Dolphins all the way down
Speaker 1: to people that you know rode in the race, and
Speaker 1: it was just incredible the amount of support and the
Speaker 1: amount of dedication that not only the organization put behind it,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, the center itself and and the
Speaker 1: good it does for this community. It's incredible. You know what,
Speaker 1: every every dollar to me, every dollar is about time.
Speaker 1: Every dollar is about giving you fifteen minutes longer with
Speaker 1: your your loved one, or a week longer, a month longer,
Speaker 1: and that's what it's all about. So to see this
Speaker 1: organization really get behind it, it's a it's really been
Speaker 1: a special thing. So I just want to touch on that.
Speaker 1: Other than that. Damn wan a freaking game man, man,
Speaker 1: That that thing you talk about most in turn and
Speaker 1: we're in it. We're out of it. We can't come back.
Speaker 1: We came back, what's gonna happen. He's not gonna miss
Speaker 1: that can he missed the checknology. I mean what I
Speaker 1: was spent after the game, but I was freaking worn out.
Speaker 1: You know, you went to dinner after the game. I
Speaker 1: went to dinner after the game, and I just sat there, going,
Speaker 1: how the hell win that game? I mean, you're down,
Speaker 1: We're answering touchdowns with field goals, and you're going, we
Speaker 1: got a backup quarterback in We're depleted everywhere. Guys are
Speaker 1: falling like flies, and there's no way, there's no no
Speaker 1: sense of a feeling that you were going to stop
Speaker 1: Chicago in the second half. But somehow, some way, the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins found a way to win that game. And
Speaker 1: you're dodging a lot of bullets along the way. But
Speaker 1: they were able to make plays on in all three
Speaker 1: fasts when they needed to. But I felt I felt
Speaker 1: coming out at halftime once they scored. They scored twice
Speaker 1: in three and a half minutes right around there, I
Speaker 1: think six minutes into the game, into the into the
Speaker 1: third quarter, we're down twenty one to ten. They scored
Speaker 1: three quick touchdowns and I'm thinking, man, here we go
Speaker 1: here goes Cincinnati again, where you know, we play a
Speaker 1: really good first half, feeling good about yourself, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, man, the bottom just falls out
Speaker 1: of you and the number of the points are coming
Speaker 1: in big bunches, and and and we can't respond is
Speaker 1: quickly enough and what and then but but man, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you it's a good thing. They play sixty minutes,
Speaker 1: were close to seventy minutes in this one. But you know, John,
Speaker 1: this was one of you you know, it's to me
Speaker 1: those those the three touchdowns in the second half, we're
Speaker 1: in aberration. They just kind of happened. Um uh, look,
Speaker 1: cert we had some trouble over on that side. They
Speaker 1: kept kept working against kept working offset x. They were
Speaker 1: going after touring the tire and then you know when
Speaker 1: you got in and and doing that, they look, it's understandable,
Speaker 1: but it presents it presents you with three quick scores
Speaker 1: and now in the bottom looking up. But that defense
Speaker 1: just kind of ratchet it up a little bit, tightened up,
Speaker 1: and well you know big you know, interception, big interception
Speaker 1: by t J. Big forced fumble recovery by t J.
Speaker 1: Maye and and uh and Kiko coming up with it.
Speaker 1: And and not forget you kind of forget early in
Speaker 1: the game they gotta stopped fourth and one at the
Speaker 1: goal line, you know, another goal line stand that maybe
Speaker 1: I think that's the third time this year that the
Speaker 1: Offins have stopped somebody on downs at the goal line
Speaker 1: and and come up with big play. So big plays
Speaker 1: there and um, you know, just never say dived. Never
Speaker 1: did say dive defense out there. And I thought they
Speaker 1: played extremely, extremely well against that Chicago Bear team. Now,
Speaker 1: having said that, the three quick touchdowns are the you
Speaker 1: know the ones that and you're right both coming out
Speaker 1: after halftime, I think I told I was sitting next
Speaker 1: to Sam Madison and Troy's Uh Stratford, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, guys, the first team that scores a
Speaker 1: touchdown and or makes a kick is going to win
Speaker 1: this game. I think it's gonna be a ten seven
Speaker 1: GAMEEAM like in game or or something like that. But
Speaker 1: you're right both. The Chicago Bears ran five plays early
Speaker 1: in the third quarter that led to fourteen points and
Speaker 1: then they got to twenty one, which six fifty left
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, and I'm thinking there is no
Speaker 1: possible way that from what I've seen from this offense,
Speaker 1: we're gonna score, but we don't. We can't score that
Speaker 1: much in that amount of time left, just because I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it a year. Scores we're gonna be the
Speaker 1: typical we've grinded down the field, grinding down the field,
Speaker 1: either kick a field goal or punch it in the
Speaker 1: end zone for a touch. But it wasn't gonna be
Speaker 1: you know what what you saw from from from Chicago.
Speaker 1: But then we forgot about Albert Wilson and talk about
Speaker 1: quick score capability from Albert Wilson. Two quick scores that
Speaker 1: were just phenomenal place in out around defenders and being
Speaker 1: able to to make people miss in space and run
Speaker 1: away from a very fast Bears defense. I think I
Speaker 1: saw on that yield. I mean you can throw in
Speaker 1: uh Tarik Cohen because he's one of the fastest players
Speaker 1: I've seen play against the Dolphins defense all year long.
Speaker 1: I mean that game was in and outer cuts, he
Speaker 1: was making runs, he was you know, run after catch
Speaker 1: after first contact. The guy was phenomenal. And the way
Speaker 1: they ran past you know, the corners to make big
Speaker 1: explosive plays. But then you take a look at at
Speaker 1: what Albert Wilson did that was that was sensational running.
Speaker 1: I mean that coach always says he's got a runnings back.
Speaker 1: He's a running back body, but he he runs like
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and he plays he plays bigger than
Speaker 1: his size. Well, he played bigger, he played faster, He
Speaker 1: played smarter than the Bears defense because he was able
Speaker 1: to find the end zone on two spectacular runs. And
Speaker 1: he's a stronger runner than then you would think for
Speaker 1: his size, much like good Jachim in Kansas City run
Speaker 1: right through some defenders on his way to a touchdown.
Speaker 1: And with Albert Wilson, you're seeing another littless, smallish guy
Speaker 1: that's got the the stamina and the strength to break
Speaker 1: tackles and then and then turn it on with his
Speaker 1: jets and and take it to the house. And and well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what an addition to this football. And
Speaker 1: I just I can't get I can't get over Albert
Speaker 1: when he scores. It's all about everybody, Come on down,
Speaker 1: Come on down. This is a team thing. And I
Speaker 1: think yesterday John, of of all games that we've seen,
Speaker 1: is an example of of what this team believes they are,
Speaker 1: which is a team, a team of everybody, a team
Speaker 1: where everybody matters, where everybody counts, where everybody's gonna give
Speaker 1: you something, and everybody at some point may hurt you,
Speaker 1: but they're gonna come back to you and they're gonna
Speaker 1: get you back into somebody else. Somebody else is going
Speaker 1: to do something and be able to make up and
Speaker 1: mask some of the UH deficiencies, whether it's on offense,
Speaker 1: defense and special teams both. I don't know how many
Speaker 1: times I've looked at Jonathan Wood and Cameron malbon go.
Speaker 1: Those guys are gonna play a significant factor, are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? You know? And they're good players and they
Speaker 1: give you everything they've got. But if you'd have told
Speaker 1: me before the season, you're gonna depend on him not once,
Speaker 1: but twice, two guys you let go. Two guys you
Speaker 1: let go at the end of try And I love
Speaker 1: Calvin Malvina. I loved Cameron Malvo from yes last year
Speaker 1: because he all he did when he got in games,
Speaker 1: play hard plays, and he played hard, and you'd see
Speaker 1: him get he'd be disruptive, he'd be causing things. So
Speaker 1: I was really disappointed when they let him go, And
Speaker 1: then when they brought Wood back instead of him, I thought,
Speaker 1: man Malvo is my man, and then Woodard plays to
Speaker 1: me those to me there. If you don't you take
Speaker 1: you take their numbers off of them and have them
Speaker 1: run run away from that. You don't know which one
Speaker 1: is with the same size, same physical built, same way
Speaker 1: they Yep, everything is the same about him. And it
Speaker 1: was really a blessing that you got Andre branch back
Speaker 1: yesterday because he was able to eat up a lot
Speaker 1: of snaps that would have been put on their plate.
Speaker 1: Even more stress, how about the inside play, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's unbe able. How Vincent Taylor has become just a
Speaker 1: relentless force for this defense. Kiko Alonso is playing his
Speaker 1: best football since his rookie year. The guys all over
Speaker 1: the field, so that defense is it's just not one
Speaker 1: guy t j comes up, comes up big. There's guys
Speaker 1: that are making plays all around that first first of all,
Speaker 1: to touch on this, you know, the there's a major
Speaker 1: difference in that defense. And we've seen it now in
Speaker 1: the last two weeks when Rashad Jones is in that defense.
Speaker 1: When Rashad was out for a couple of weeks, same
Speaker 1: guys out back there, but it was, uh, it wasn't
Speaker 1: quite you know, a little, just a little, you know, vague.
Speaker 1: I would use the word vague for that defense without him,
Speaker 1: But when he gets in, it just locks down. And
Speaker 1: he's like just a glue that brings that whole group together.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's just motivation. The way
Speaker 1: he plays, they just follow his his his lead. Um,
Speaker 1: but with him and and I know by I know
Speaker 1: by the way, um number twenty two is playing pretty football,
Speaker 1: pretty darny good football too. There was a lot of
Speaker 1: people last year after that eight games, after the spend,
Speaker 1: how Jesus why they extend him? And now I read
Speaker 1: an article day go, yeah, look at how good t
Speaker 1: J is playing. He's only he's only getting paid a
Speaker 1: million one. But now they're happy, and you know, so
Speaker 1: you know, but but he's playing great football for you.
Speaker 1: So they'll say they have Minka to it and and
Speaker 1: John if if if Rashad's the glue, the super glue
Speaker 1: is on his way, Yes, because Bobby's got a boy
Speaker 1: to make it, really Bobby, Bobby, Bobby takes that. Bobby
Speaker 1: gives you a competitive guy opposite X where they've got
Speaker 1: a test text every now and then. I don't even
Speaker 1: think they threw a ball. I think they threw one
Speaker 1: ball his way and it was on one of those
Speaker 1: little bubble screens or something, and he blew it up
Speaker 1: up as soon as they did. But but John, the
Speaker 1: one guy we haven't talked about, and then the one
Speaker 1: guy that you really gotta to go to his brockos Wilder.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, here's a guy that gets a
Speaker 1: text in the dame that hey, hey, strapping up, big
Speaker 1: stramping up, big fella, you're up, You're up, and it's
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears waiting for you. But boy, I tell
Speaker 1: you talk about a guy come in, played with poise, uh,
Speaker 1: handled the situation. I remember watching walk out for the
Speaker 1: first snap, got the hell together. You know they're kind
Speaker 1: of they're kind of meandering around. Now, no, get down,
Speaker 1: let's go get in here, get him in here and
Speaker 1: get him on his page. And boy, you you just
Speaker 1: just I don't know, I don't know what you can
Speaker 1: say about the way that that Brock handled the situation,
Speaker 1: handled that huddle, and and and just handled the game itself.
Speaker 1: He played with poise number one, and he played with
Speaker 1: experience and a confidence that you don't get right away.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that had a belief
Speaker 1: in himself and had an opportunity and took took advantage
Speaker 1: of his opportunity, which makes me feel good because that's
Speaker 1: a tough situation to come into, knowing that you're here
Speaker 1: for an insurance policy. If something were to happen, you
Speaker 1: don't know if once your name is called, you don't
Speaker 1: know if it's a quarter, if it's a play, if
Speaker 1: it's a week, if it's two, a month. But whenever
Speaker 1: your name is called, you have to play at the
Speaker 1: level that that guy left, which is Ryan Tannehill, and
Speaker 1: then maybe up at a couple levels to get a
Speaker 1: win at home. Played it against it, played against the
Speaker 1: defense that's tenacious. All week we were talking about clil Mac.
Speaker 1: All week, we talked about the offensive line that had
Speaker 1: to do a good job keeping pressure off Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: Now you throw Brock was Oswhiler in the equation a
Speaker 1: guy that doesn't move the whole whole you know, he
Speaker 1: doesn't move a whole lot from his spot. He's but
Speaker 1: he's going to get the ball out on time, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw it away and burn a couple of
Speaker 1: plays because he needs to. And I thought he was
Speaker 1: smart doing that. He was really good at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. We had one delay a game penalty I think,
Speaker 1: which kind of hurt. But he overcame some of the
Speaker 1: bad throws, some of the bad decisions with big plays,
Speaker 1: and he had a running game and an offensive line
Speaker 1: to bail him out and to keep keep the offensive
Speaker 1: float when they needed to. Well that that offensive line
Speaker 1: did a remarkable job all day. And look now, look
Speaker 1: they certainly had help. Every time I looked at Khalil
Speaker 1: Mack fours either a back over there and tell you,
Speaker 1: I tell you that the kind of unsung here on
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, it has been Nicole Leary right,
Speaker 1: and a lot of plays but great and Cincinnati did
Speaker 1: a lot of good things in Cincinnati. Came out here
Speaker 1: and did not not only do the score touchdown, not
Speaker 1: only did he catch three passes I think all of
Speaker 1: them for first downs and may have been on third downs,
Speaker 1: and that he could complete three or got three passes,
Speaker 1: but he I mean, he was one of the guys
Speaker 1: instrumental in keeping Khalil Mack out out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: He'd line up over there on the side of him
Speaker 1: and just hi and jack him up. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: he's an old school tight end. Yes, it's a guy
Speaker 1: that gets it done. And he doesn't look great. You
Speaker 1: kind of overlook him a little bit. But watching him
Speaker 1: practice over the last two and a half weeks, every
Speaker 1: time he catches the ball, I'm looking for somebody to go,
Speaker 1: who is that? Yeah, oh that's for good. He was
Speaker 1: on the team, and and slowly but surely, over the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks he is. He's played well enough
Speaker 1: that other guys on the team are going to coach
Speaker 1: ks going, hey, we gotta get this guy out. This
Speaker 1: guy they have seen with him now for for the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks is hey, he can block. And
Speaker 1: he's not just uh, you know, do not just a
Speaker 1: standing your way. He'll move. He'll move some people at
Speaker 1: the line of scrimma. So so he's he's and and
Speaker 1: John I said this one the first time I saw him.
Speaker 1: He's a lot more stout than I thought. He's not
Speaker 1: that lean sin tight end. He is. Yeah, he's been
Speaker 1: in the weight room and and he's got some strength
Speaker 1: to him. Um, but his ability to catch the football
Speaker 1: and his ability to run after the catch is something
Speaker 1: I think surprised me a little bit. So another great
Speaker 1: addition that that you kind of keep looking at and
Speaker 1: you go, man, just when this team can gets a
Speaker 1: little healthier, when that health starts coming back, there's another
Speaker 1: little piece you out into the puzzle that that that
Speaker 1: that really is making plays and doing some good, good
Speaker 1: things for you. So so he's another guy out there.
Speaker 1: But but but kind of going going back to Brock,
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, not panicking when you're down
Speaker 1: by three or would be down by eleven, not after
Speaker 1: the three touchdown, could continue to play your game. And
Speaker 1: that offensive line was I was getting at. You know,
Speaker 1: I think I think they did two things for Brock
Speaker 1: that didn't really needed to be done. A they protected
Speaker 1: him as a as a passer. They gave him time
Speaker 1: to throw the football. Maybe more importantly, they created running lanes.
Speaker 1: They allowed the running game to be a factor, because
Speaker 1: had that running game not been the factor that it
Speaker 1: was in that game, I guarantee you your pressure would
Speaker 1: have been coming in a big, big way on brock
Speaker 1: Oss Wilder. And you talked about us, I would be
Speaker 1: the guy if I if I was practicing against a
Speaker 1: quarterback like Brock brock Oss Wilder going into the game,
Speaker 1: I would take a cone and I would put it
Speaker 1: on a spot about seven yards deep right behind the
Speaker 1: center and say that's my point, because that's where he's
Speaker 1: gonna be all day long. He ain't going anywhere other
Speaker 1: than that, and that makes it and that certainly makes
Speaker 1: it easy on a defensive alignment. But he was able
Speaker 1: to he was able to move a little bit. He ran, ran,
Speaker 1: ran a couple of times, got out of the pocket
Speaker 1: and did some things which kind of surprised me. But why.
Speaker 1: I just think his his demeter walking into that game
Speaker 1: set a lot to that huddle, and I think it's
Speaker 1: said a lot to the fans that were watching at
Speaker 1: the stadium or watching on TV that hey, look from
Speaker 1: when I saw Brocker Oswald in the preseason, like, uh no,
Speaker 1: we get to him. Were in trouble. But I was
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised by by the way he handled the whole situation.
Speaker 1: I just think he he had supreme confidence in his
Speaker 1: ability and it helped him that the game played out
Speaker 1: the way it did for the Dolphins. On offense, Frank
Speaker 1: Gore ran the football so effectively on first down, and
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake when he had his opportunities, but more Frank
Speaker 1: going straight ahead, I mean, he did not hesitate. He
Speaker 1: was moving piles, he was making carrying guys with him
Speaker 1: four yards, five yards, six yards for two yards and
Speaker 1: then three or feo four more and he'd find a
Speaker 1: little the little is crease if one wasn't available to
Speaker 1: to stick his nose in there, knowing that second and
Speaker 1: six is a hell of a lot better than second
Speaker 1: eleven or second and ten or second and nine. And
Speaker 1: that kept the Dolphins ahead of the chains, which I
Speaker 1: thought for the majority of the game helped rock Osweidler.
Speaker 1: And the only other thing but I'll say to that
Speaker 1: that complimented the running game was getting the football a
Speaker 1: little bit more frequently to Danny Amendola because he provides
Speaker 1: you quick, open windows, easy throws, those lay up throws
Speaker 1: that you're looking for to kind of keep the pressure
Speaker 1: off the running game. But moving the offense forward, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. So yeah, it was. It was
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of good stuff that you saw
Speaker 1: offensively coming out of that football game. And he's just
Speaker 1: gotta give you now. Now, the question is, and the
Speaker 1: question that was asked of Adam Gaze after the game
Speaker 1: the next day, after the game and all those things,
Speaker 1: was was Ryan Tannehill, when's he gonna come back? And
Speaker 1: I gotta think with this situation, you know that it's hey,
Speaker 1: take your time, take your time, make sure you're healthy.
Speaker 1: And and he also said, when Ryan's healthy, is he
Speaker 1: gonna be in the Yes, he'll be the hell be
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But you know, you feel pretty good. I
Speaker 1: think you feel pretty good about I feel better now
Speaker 1: than I did going in, I mean much. I was
Speaker 1: like you, I was waiting for a couple of the
Speaker 1: throws that well when we saw one, I mean we
Speaker 1: saw I didn't go for six, but we saw one
Speaker 1: of those come out a little late, a little dead,
Speaker 1: a little inside, and they both ended up as interceptions.
Speaker 1: You know, the deep ball to Davante Parker and the
Speaker 1: other ball in front of the Dolphins bench. Both of
Speaker 1: those plays you in your mind, you go, I don't
Speaker 1: want to If you see too many of those, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a bad day for the Dolphins. And because
Speaker 1: we've seen him in the preseason, you've seen him in practice.
Speaker 1: But Brock was able to overcome and the team was
Speaker 1: able to overcome those plays and get and crank out
Speaker 1: of victory. Yeah, it's it's it's funny, John, it was
Speaker 1: you know, the last two weeks have been gloom and
Speaker 1: doom around here, and it's like that for every team
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. You lose one, you lose two,
Speaker 1: and it's just as a black cloud hanging over you.
Speaker 1: Uh But but now you know you're sitting here four
Speaker 1: and two, you're feeling pretty good. You're see you're you're
Speaker 1: tied for first place in the a f C East.
Speaker 1: And John, I'm looking through this, I'm looking through the
Speaker 1: records in all of football, and and you know they're
Speaker 1: the most most of are three and three. Got a
Speaker 1: lot of three and threes. You you know, got some
Speaker 1: other you know, I think you got you only got
Speaker 1: you got. LA is the only the Rams, the only
Speaker 1: team undefeated as Kansas City went down, uh to to
Speaker 1: New England. So you know, it's one of those things, John,
Speaker 1: where you're just you're stacking up wins. You know, we
Speaker 1: we talked about winning the quarter. They won the first
Speaker 1: quarter three you know, three, three wins and one loss.
Speaker 1: And and here you start the second quarter your one
Speaker 1: and one, you know, with with really at home again
Speaker 1: with the Detroit team coming in that you know that
Speaker 1: we've seen good Detroit. We've seen bad Detroit. But the
Speaker 1: good thing is they're they're they're at home. As far
Speaker 1: as listen to uh, let's listen to Sports Center the
Speaker 1: next day after the game, and they had Rex Ryan
Speaker 1: on there, and Rex Ryan's going, I gotta tell this
Speaker 1: may be one of the best kept secrets in football,
Speaker 1: but they got a real home field advantage down there
Speaker 1: in Miami especially. He was talking about how it's shady
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins side, Sonny in their side, and he says,
Speaker 1: you know, it does take it out of it does
Speaker 1: wear people out. And so it's so this is another week,
Speaker 1: another week in October where it's still gonna be c
Speaker 1: M warm, is gonna be humid. You know that humidity
Speaker 1: is not gonna change untill after Halloween. And so the
Speaker 1: humid humidity is gonna be there. So it's another opportunity
Speaker 1: to to to to to go out and I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say get to win. Go out and and try
Speaker 1: to beat another good football team and try to get
Speaker 1: yourself to to your John which would be your fifth win.
Speaker 1: It get you halfway because you know, to me, the
Speaker 1: numbers ten numbers tend to get you in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You get five wins, and you're halfway home, you know,
Speaker 1: and and and you've got a long way to go still.
Speaker 1: I just think if the Dolphins can dominate at hard
Speaker 1: Rock Stadium this year, and I'm not saying you're you're
Speaker 1: gonna win all of them, that's your goal, but if
Speaker 1: if you can get pretty damn near close to that,
Speaker 1: that gets you where you need to be, because you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to. You stole one in New York, right,
Speaker 1: you know, you get one of those road games that
Speaker 1: you feel like you want to win, You get a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback early. Now you gotta go and play Detroit
Speaker 1: at home, which you feel like, hey, they're coming down
Speaker 1: our place. Like you said, it's gonna be sticky, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hot. You gotta go to a short week
Speaker 1: at Houston. You don't want to get too far ahead
Speaker 1: of yourselves, but you start adding him up, and if
Speaker 1: those whole home wins continue to pile up, that's a
Speaker 1: great sign for the moment, all, no no doubt about it. Hey,
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about Adam Gaze. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: there's been there there, you know. Obviously, you get you
Speaker 1: get in a situation with two losses in a row
Speaker 1: and in this town, and you fire everybody, get read
Speaker 1: of everybody on the in the organization. Let's start from
Speaker 1: scratch five weeks into the season, right. It is kind
Speaker 1: of the mentality out there. But you know, if you're
Speaker 1: a coach, if you're a general manager, if your team,
Speaker 1: stay the course, stay the course. And he's doing done
Speaker 1: a good job of staying the course. And I think
Speaker 1: one thing that was really, uh, really important after the
Speaker 1: game when when Brock, they asked Brock about why did
Speaker 1: you sign? Why did you sign with Miami? And he said,
Speaker 1: point blank because Adam Gays was here. He said, I
Speaker 1: had three other choice. I had three other visits set up.
Speaker 1: As soon as I heard from Miami, told my guy
Speaker 1: canceled him. I want to go play. I want to
Speaker 1: play in Miami. I want to play for Adam Gaze
Speaker 1: because I know him. I know the type of person
Speaker 1: he is, I know the type of coaching, understand his offense.
Speaker 1: I've been in since two thousand and twelve. Bla blah
Speaker 1: blah blah bing, and so you know, here here you
Speaker 1: got a guy that that Adam Gays wanted that that look.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I didn't. I thought
Speaker 1: he was gonna be odd man outing people that raise
Speaker 1: their hand. When Brock was avail, I mean, he had
Speaker 1: other places to go training camp. But I'm looking a
Speaker 1: who we got. I'm looking you come down to David
Speaker 1: Fails and him, and you know, I don't know Dave.
Speaker 1: I know he likes David. I know that, I know
Speaker 1: the boss likes David. But you know Brock and when
Speaker 1: when Brock was the first guy actively and I'm like, jeez,
Speaker 1: this is a little odd, but you know here it is.
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes you realize that coaches know what
Speaker 1: they do the exactly and you have to trust. Sometimes
Speaker 1: the front office has to work together to trust a
Speaker 1: head coach and his gut feeling in his history with
Speaker 1: a player. Sometimes you'll have a general manager or a
Speaker 1: director of football operations that you know, look at we
Speaker 1: don't want to take on somebody else's property and garbage
Speaker 1: or or got this guy's this, this guy's that, and
Speaker 1: a lot of bad things said about here. But you
Speaker 1: have to trust a head coach when he has a history,
Speaker 1: especially at a position of quarterback, that the play caller
Speaker 1: knows what a guy does best, he knows his his
Speaker 1: his good traits, and he knows his his ability to
Speaker 1: get away from things that maybe doesn't suit that quarterback.
Speaker 1: So you have to be able to have that trust,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a it's a two way street.
Speaker 1: Adam trusted brox ability to work within this system because
Speaker 1: he knows it so well he can get himself into
Speaker 1: good places at the line of scrimmage. And he knows
Speaker 1: that playing behind Peyton Ending all those years that he
Speaker 1: didn't get a whole lot of reps either. He didn't
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of playing time, he didn't get
Speaker 1: a whole lot of practice time, and that that's important
Speaker 1: to a guy like Ryan Tannehill because Ryan needs those
Speaker 1: reps at practice and for a guy to just get
Speaker 1: your X amount of of plays during the week and
Speaker 1: still be prepared to play like a pro mentally and physically,
Speaker 1: you gotta find guys like that. So I think Adam
Speaker 1: has great confidence in both Brock Osweidler, and I don't
Speaker 1: think you can discount the impact that David fails might
Speaker 1: have because Brock's only one kind of bad quarter or
Speaker 1: two quarter performance away from having another guy go in
Speaker 1: and have to play at a high level. So you
Speaker 1: have to have confidence in both those guys. The other
Speaker 1: I think the flip side of it too is is
Speaker 1: you know, you listen to Brock after the game and
Speaker 1: he's talking about the two point conversion. So I've never
Speaker 1: run that play in practice. I've watched it five hundred times.
Speaker 1: I've kind of repped it in my head plenty of times,
Speaker 1: but but I've never run it. So it's the first
Speaker 1: time I run it, and it's the first time first
Speaker 1: the second area on the ground and Coach I didn't
Speaker 1: I didn't even know. You know, I forgot we had
Speaker 1: that guy because we never got to the third guy. Well,
Speaker 1: Ossweiler has the patience he see he sees uh because
Speaker 1: I watched because um who was the first his his
Speaker 1: first guy slipped I think slipped out of the backfield
Speaker 1: and slipped down the back of whatever Kenyan and then
Speaker 1: Danny got caught up in the in the wash, but
Speaker 1: Kenny kept kept running along and hits him in the corner.
Speaker 1: So so his knowledge of the offense since two thousand
Speaker 1: twelve paid off in a big way that two point conversion.
Speaker 1: And I'd like to ask Brock. I'm gonna ask him
Speaker 1: during the week because as they broke the huddle. He
Speaker 1: told Kenny. He and Kenny were talking about something and
Speaker 1: we were kind of standing on the sidelines. But I
Speaker 1: picked up and I was maybe he's saying, hey, remember
Speaker 1: the back line in case something happens. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that was said or not. Maybe he said something
Speaker 1: else to him, But they definitely communicated to each other.
Speaker 1: But as they're breaking the huddle, and and that's good.
Speaker 1: Teams make plays and trust each other and count on
Speaker 1: each other by making sure that everybody, even he got
Speaker 1: the green light special on this play, stay alive because
Speaker 1: I might need you somewhere in the back end, you know,
Speaker 1: the end zone. Hey, look, who's the Jerome Bakers just
Speaker 1: walking into awesome. Let's let's let's kind of take a
Speaker 1: little break from talking about that. We'll sit down with
Speaker 1: Jerome for a little bit and then, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: when we come back after drone, because I think we
Speaker 1: probably have it for ten minutes or so. Let's let's
Speaker 1: sit down with the Jerome and then we'll we'll come
Speaker 1: back and we'll take a look at the Detroit Sounds.
Speaker 1: All right, Jerome Baker joined us a lineback from Jerome.
Speaker 1: You've been a busy man for the last few weeks. Man,
Speaker 1: you got a lot of playing time out there, and
Speaker 1: do you feel like that that playing time is is
Speaker 1: helping you get to where you want to be? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely is definitely helping me. Um just kinstantly getting better
Speaker 1: every time I'm out there and just having fun with it.
Speaker 1: It was a crazy game on Sunday, wasn't it. I
Speaker 1: Mean that thing had more turn twists and turns than
Speaker 1: been driving down a mountain road with the with the
Speaker 1: snow coming down on you. Oh yeah, definitely. It was
Speaker 1: a team effort. We leaned on offense a little bit,
Speaker 1: they leaning on us, so U overall is a great win. Uh,
Speaker 1: it wasn't pretty, but we still got it done. You know,
Speaker 1: you know you're you're your your defense just continues to
Speaker 1: get better. It seems week weekend, week out getting better
Speaker 1: and better. And you and ray kwon. You can see
Speaker 1: you guys both every week, every rep, every snap you get,
Speaker 1: just making you guys both better players out there both
Speaker 1: you're more comfortable or did you talk about where you
Speaker 1: guys were at? Yeah, we we just constantly just uh
Speaker 1: just improving. Um really every day we go out there,
Speaker 1: we kind of just push each other to get better. Um,
Speaker 1: so we go out there on Sundays, that's just the
Speaker 1: final result, but um, throughout the week, were just constantly improving.
Speaker 1: If that's watching film together, if that's just talking about football.
Speaker 1: So uh, that's pretty much our main focus. And you
Speaker 1: know we're happy we yet we know we still got
Speaker 1: along with it. Go all the football you've played, you know,
Speaker 1: from being a kid in high school and college and
Speaker 1: now your rookie year. Have you ever been involved in
Speaker 1: a game that was seven nothing at halftime and it
Speaker 1: looked like, you know, this is gonna be a defense struggle.
Speaker 1: Whoever gets the next touchdown, maybe kicks the next field
Speaker 1: goal is gonna win. And then you look up on
Speaker 1: the scoreboard and with six fifty left in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: it's ten bears and you guys have to find a
Speaker 1: way to come back. Have you ever been involved in
Speaker 1: something like that? No, that's something unique, but um, it's
Speaker 1: kind of one of those games you just gotta keep
Speaker 1: pushing through. You don't really know what's gonna happen, but
Speaker 1: you don't want it to happen on you. So uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it was just kind of leaning our offense
Speaker 1: and we just try to make as many stops as
Speaker 1: we could. You know, he's gotta done. I want to
Speaker 1: ask you a little bit about about the defense. You know,
Speaker 1: all the red zone turnovers you guys have been able
Speaker 1: to create. Um. Is it communication? Is it a belief
Speaker 1: in one another? Is it when you get down there,
Speaker 1: you're you had a feeling, Hey, this is our zone.
Speaker 1: This isn't third zone, this is our zone. We're gonna
Speaker 1: make something happen. Yeah, it's just that. Uh, you kind
Speaker 1: of just have to you know, look at the guys
Speaker 1: in the facing but all right, you can't let them score.
Speaker 1: You can't let them just get in there easy. Were
Speaker 1: gonna have to make them work for it. Uh So
Speaker 1: when the guys get locked in, kind of believe in
Speaker 1: each other and we just get it down and go
Speaker 1: out there and just do what we do. Um. So
Speaker 1: that is pretty much just what's keep happening. We kind
Speaker 1: of just believe in each other. And I was working
Speaker 1: out in my favorite you know, Jerome. I watched that
Speaker 1: defense in particularly in the first half and towards the
Speaker 1: latter part of the ball game. You know, in the
Speaker 1: second half, they came out and they hit you with
Speaker 1: three quick, quick scores. I think one was like a
Speaker 1: one place school series or two places. They went from
Speaker 1: from the twenty five yard line down to the fifteen
Speaker 1: yard line in two places, four plays they had a score.
Speaker 1: And then the next offensive series I think it was
Speaker 1: one playing a score. So it was like a world
Speaker 1: win for these guys. To me when you look at
Speaker 1: this football team and if you can stay away from
Speaker 1: the big play, because you look in the first half,
Speaker 1: and what I liked was that they were moving the
Speaker 1: ball down the field, but but it was a methodical move,
Speaker 1: you know that. You know, first down, second down, third down, Okay,
Speaker 1: they convert, but they're not making big plays. And to me,
Speaker 1: that kind of defense is that defense that lends itself
Speaker 1: to they get to the red zone, they've made so
Speaker 1: many stacks and eventually they're gonna make a mistake. You know.
Speaker 1: It's that old Ben break theory. You know. You know,
Speaker 1: they they're move the ball, move ball down the field,
Speaker 1: but the more snaps they've got to take, eventually they're
Speaker 1: gonna make a mistake. And it seems like when they
Speaker 1: make a mistake, like John was talking about in the
Speaker 1: red zone, you guys are able to pounce on it
Speaker 1: and really make a difference. And I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of to me is the mentality of what this defensive
Speaker 1: football team is becoming. Yeah, it's definitely that. Uh we
Speaker 1: just try to make any offense just earn whatever they get. Um,
Speaker 1: nothing is free, nothing is given. Um, so they're supposed
Speaker 1: to play. That's that's not one thing we want. We
Speaker 1: want offensive prove that they can move all of down
Speaker 1: the field. Um, because our defense, you know, we have
Speaker 1: a great defense. We can definitely, Uh we have offense
Speaker 1: do that. You know, it's gonna be a long day.
Speaker 1: So uh, we really started to really do that every game.
Speaker 1: And um, this this game we had a few, you know, mishaps,
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. Kind of those things
Speaker 1: are gonna happen, you know, And into yesterday was a
Speaker 1: great example. Is you know, bouncing back, you know you'll
Speaker 1: be bounce back. You're down, you're you're sitting there at
Speaker 1: seven nothing and the next thing you know, you're down
Speaker 1: to ten, you're and you're down eleven points. And I
Speaker 1: think you know everything, you know, everything you've heard after
Speaker 1: the game and all the conversations, there's no letdown, there
Speaker 1: was no concern. It was just let's go back out.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of time. Let's run our offense, let's run
Speaker 1: our defense and get back into And that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you that man, you're your boy
Speaker 1: out there, number forty seven, Kiko. That that guy, he's
Speaker 1: running around like a chicken with his head cut off
Speaker 1: out there. He's out there everywhere, and you know, he
Speaker 1: seems to be a guy that just he's always around
Speaker 1: the football, always seems to make something happen. And it's
Speaker 1: certainly gotta be fun to play with a guy like
Speaker 1: that and really kind of watching grow up in the
Speaker 1: NFL with a guy that plays like that, because certainly
Speaker 1: you can you can glean a little bit of that
Speaker 1: from him and added to your game. Oh yeah, definitely, Uh,
Speaker 1: he goes he's if not the most he's the smartest
Speaker 1: player we have. Uh he's probably number two. If that.
Speaker 1: He may be the goof his player, you got to Yeah,
Speaker 1: but on Sundays he definitely just shows up and he
Speaker 1: goes to words. So it's definitely exciting to see him,
Speaker 1: you know, do what he do. He got a knack for.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's finds the ball balls, being
Speaker 1: around the ball you know, there's you've played with guys
Speaker 1: like we've all played with guys like that that just
Speaker 1: the ball seems to find them or they're always around
Speaker 1: the football and and he's definitely one of those guys.
Speaker 1: And but but you're watch him playing these guys everywhere.
Speaker 1: He mean's all over the field. Yeah, that that's just
Speaker 1: Kiko's game. Um, no matter what the ball that he
Speaker 1: takes off full of speed and he's running um and
Speaker 1: it really paying off. So I'm glad does he bars
Speaker 1: the bars in the locker room with his uh his
Speaker 1: his Latino music and stuff and trying to pour that
Speaker 1: on you guys know, it's just kicko. He he plays
Speaker 1: what he likes and uh end up sometimes we end
Speaker 1: up liking what he's playing. And that's that's a good thing. Hey,
Speaker 1: how much more comfortable are you, uh coming in and
Speaker 1: getting more playing time and more playing time and beyond
Speaker 1: the field. You know, with every unit, it seems like
Speaker 1: how much more comfortable are you weekend and week out
Speaker 1: with the scheme, with the communication about positioning your body?
Speaker 1: You know, when you're facing a guy like Colin that's
Speaker 1: so fast, you know, you gotta kind of keep adjusting
Speaker 1: throughout the game. How much more comfortable are you getting
Speaker 1: in the National Football League? Um, definitely getting more comfortable. Uh,
Speaker 1: but it's just the working progress. Um. Honestly, every every
Speaker 1: day I go out there trying you better at something.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to improve on something. If it's a call
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about, just trying to just reinforce it. Um.
Speaker 1: And that's really my approach pretty much this whole see,
Speaker 1: and just to constantly get better. I know, Uh, my
Speaker 1: talent is one thing, but you know, I have to
Speaker 1: really utilize that. So every day I try to go
Speaker 1: out to get better at one thing. So are you
Speaker 1: harder on yourself than maybe Frank or Charlie or Matt,
Speaker 1: you know the defensive coaches and you watch film by yourself?
Speaker 1: Are you constantly going you know, I should have taken
Speaker 1: a better angle, right, I could line up on his
Speaker 1: outside shoulder, trying to get those things to ingrain them
Speaker 1: so they come naturally on Sunday. Yeah, I'm definitely hard
Speaker 1: on myself when it comes to just the little things.
Speaker 1: Run fits. Um, even just when I'm covering somebody, uh
Speaker 1: at the ball. It's even if they get a no
Speaker 1: yard game, that's not good. Enough for me. I don't
Speaker 1: want them to get anything. So uh, I pretty much
Speaker 1: just heard on myself no matter what I do, and
Speaker 1: so you just helps me get better and overall picture,
Speaker 1: it helps to tak you better. You know you're in college,
Speaker 1: you guys, didn't you know? I used to losing too
Speaker 1: many football games in college. Um, and you come you
Speaker 1: just went through a tough stretch where you lost two
Speaker 1: games on the road, two losses back to back. I
Speaker 1: don't know how many times at Ohio State that happened
Speaker 1: to you probably didn't have very very often. But is
Speaker 1: it is? It is it's a new experience for you
Speaker 1: trying to try to fight through that, or or just
Speaker 1: knowing that that's what's knowing that that's what it's gonna
Speaker 1: be in the National Football League. There's gonna be good
Speaker 1: stretches and bad stretches as you get through. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: sometimes not used to but I'm also not used to
Speaker 1: a sixteen game season, So uh, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: But I can never get satisfied with just losing, especially
Speaker 1: two games back to back. Um, I don't think any
Speaker 1: of us is get used to that. But it's a
Speaker 1: long season. You just gotta constantly key fighting, get better. Um,
Speaker 1: and it's all gonna work out well. To be honest
Speaker 1: with you, I'd like to see you guys never get
Speaker 1: used to that, right, never get back games. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose games in this league. Ever, everybody loses games.
Speaker 1: But there's only one team that hasn't won lost any games.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna happen. But you know it's it's and
Speaker 1: I think I see him in this football team. You know,
Speaker 1: you see those losses and it's like someone's stuffing something,
Speaker 1: you know, a bitter pill down your throat, hard to swallow,
Speaker 1: and you don't want to do it again. Oh yeah, definitely. Uh.
Speaker 1: We don't take losses easy. Um, we don't really. Just
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that you know, we could
Speaker 1: have definitely got it done whoever we play. So it's
Speaker 1: gotta go out there next week and just get better.
Speaker 1: And that's how main focus actually lose. Just gotta go
Speaker 1: out there and just do what we do at a
Speaker 1: better level. You know, Jerome, you mentioned you know this
Speaker 1: is something different for you. Sixteen games instead of maybe
Speaker 1: twelve or or thirteen. The way it's spread out, you
Speaker 1: go through preseason, you go through training camp, you go
Speaker 1: through all that stuff and it feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: they always say that rookie wall it's gonna hit at
Speaker 1: some point. How do you feel physically and mentally? Is
Speaker 1: it more of a strain on your physically international football
Speaker 1: league mentally or is it about fifty fifty for you?
Speaker 1: I have like mixed feelings about it. Um, it's a
Speaker 1: lot more free time, so I have a lot more
Speaker 1: time to prepare my body for it. It is longer,
Speaker 1: but um, you know, I find ways mentally just to
Speaker 1: get my mind right. That's just playing on my dogs.
Speaker 1: If that's just get them a size. Um, that's the
Speaker 1: little things I do. And physically it's so much less taxing.
Speaker 1: Only really time you really hit it is Wednesdays and
Speaker 1: uh Sundays. Um, that's pretty much the the thing that's
Speaker 1: kind of like equal balances. We have a lot more
Speaker 1: time to take care of our bodies, so I'm not
Speaker 1: really affected by as much. But it is definitely a
Speaker 1: car crash. I'm gonna flip that around a little bit
Speaker 1: on you. Do you think you you would be more
Speaker 1: effective in college as a linebacker if they adapted to
Speaker 1: the way that you practice in the nfl um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's a little different because you've got an account school.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, like, if you only hit on Wednesdays
Speaker 1: in at Ohio State and then when played on Saturdays
Speaker 1: or maybe it's a Tuesday, however, how are you gonna
Speaker 1: do it? Do you think that would help the college athlete? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would definitely help. But it has this pros and
Speaker 1: his cons to Uh, when you don't tackle, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna get good at taking That's one thing. Um. So
Speaker 1: it depends on your team. If you have a you know,
Speaker 1: veteran group, you don't need to hit each other all right.
Speaker 1: So it just really depends on a team in college.
Speaker 1: But you're on a big win on on Sunday, and
Speaker 1: uh say, those wins are fun, man, aren't they look grinding,
Speaker 1: look gut wrenching during the game. But boy, when you
Speaker 1: come out of the come out of the other end
Speaker 1: and on the right side, it's, uh no, no better
Speaker 1: feeling in the world. Oh yeah, definitely that that was
Speaker 1: one of those games you really work for. And uh
Speaker 1: happy I got you keeping coming. Thanks for starving by man.
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to have you. Thank you all right
Speaker 1: to talk about to talk about a guy that's uh,
Speaker 1: get he's getting his experience under fire, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: Get a lot of playing time, get a lot of reps.
Speaker 1: And but but John, I you know, for me, I
Speaker 1: knew going in and I think we talked about it
Speaker 1: going in with with him. Uh and ray kwon Um.
Speaker 1: It's about reps that the more reps to get, they're
Speaker 1: not getting. They're not gonna get to their best without
Speaker 1: getting them game reps. And so I'm happy that they
Speaker 1: threw them into the fire. Hey, look, you guys are
Speaker 1: gonna start day one. Get used to it. You're gonna play.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have some bad you have some bad games,
Speaker 1: you have some good games, but just fight through them.
Speaker 1: And uh and and he's certainly he and Rayon are
Speaker 1: both I think playing really really good football right now.
Speaker 1: And I think you said something important there, Bo. I
Speaker 1: think that the coaching staff expected, Hey, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some really high high points, and there's gonna be some
Speaker 1: low points. Don't make the low points so low that
Speaker 1: they keep us getting the high point cost us a
Speaker 1: game or or demoralizes your your confidence in your ability
Speaker 1: to do this. But make sure those high points are
Speaker 1: starting to stack up a little bit more, and I
Speaker 1: think you're seeing it in both guys. I think they're
Speaker 1: both triggering in terms of being able to recognize a play,
Speaker 1: recognize a run with with McMillan, especially in getting in
Speaker 1: and filling those guys and creating some tackles for losses,
Speaker 1: and with Baker taking better angles and getting better set up.
Speaker 1: In terms of knowing I got a fast, twitchy guy
Speaker 1: or no one, I got a bigger guy that takes
Speaker 1: longer strides, and getting to know the National Football League
Speaker 1: and what they're what opposing teams are trying to do
Speaker 1: to you a weekend and week out. Because if somebody
Speaker 1: see something that's been effective last week, hold on, you're
Speaker 1: gonna see a little bit more of it this week.
Speaker 1: And I think both those guys are smart enough to
Speaker 1: know that. Well. I think that's kid. They're both smart kids.
Speaker 1: And and and then not only you're smart, they they they
Speaker 1: work and they hold themselves accountable, which is something that
Speaker 1: not a lot of pros at a young age. Do
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want it just a bad game.
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about working harder, getting back
Speaker 1: on You never hear from me, I'll go looking at
Speaker 1: the tape and all in figure out what's going right.
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta do this, I gotta they're they're
Speaker 1: just more accountable and and all like that. And by
Speaker 1: the way, you know, speaking of of the defense and
Speaker 1: those guys, and we talked about it, uh with Jerome
Speaker 1: Vincent Taylor tweeted out, Ben but bend but don't break,
Speaker 1: you know, and and that's look to me, that's I know,
Speaker 1: I know sometimes it's a it's a it's a mind
Speaker 1: numbing defense. In the in the fact of Jez, they
Speaker 1: keep moving the ball up and down the field, up
Speaker 1: down the field. But you know, I know, I know
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I know the Dolphins philosophy going all the
Speaker 1: way back to Bill Arnsbarger was that and his his
Speaker 1: his philosophy was, hey, don't give up the big play.
Speaker 1: You make them take. You make them take between twelve
Speaker 1: and fifteen plays to get me. And if they if
Speaker 1: they take twelve and fifteen places, they're gonna make a
Speaker 1: mistake and we're gonna capitalize on the mistake. And I
Speaker 1: think you see it with this football team. This football
Speaker 1: team a little more they're a little more predetermined to
Speaker 1: make that to make that stop in the red zone.
Speaker 1: It gives you a little get your hair in the
Speaker 1: back of your head. But I'm serious. But hell, they're
Speaker 1: making them. I mean they're making them. And I mean,
Speaker 1: John I I don't know. You know two thousands, you
Speaker 1: go back two thousand and sixteen, A lot of big
Speaker 1: plays at the end of games. They're a lot of
Speaker 1: big interesting We've had four interceptions in the fourth quarters
Speaker 1: San Diego, and you know Keiko's interceptions. L A. You
Speaker 1: had a big play in New York right in the game,
Speaker 1: right in the yeah, and and so. So you know
Speaker 1: you're getting them. But but this team gets them. But
Speaker 1: they get him, they get him in money, they get
Speaker 1: they get up. It's like, you know, it's like you're
Speaker 1: getting all the juice out of that sticky gum before
Speaker 1: before you throw it away. Don't leave early because it's
Speaker 1: not over yet. And this defense keeps you on the edge.
Speaker 1: But they find a way most times than not to
Speaker 1: make a play and make a really ignites the team.
Speaker 1: I mean t J making a play, Kiko running all
Speaker 1: over the places, Vincent Taylor, you talk about them, the guys.
Speaker 1: Vincent Taylor has been I mean he just says, and
Speaker 1: you know, you interview, got you House playing well like
Speaker 1: Spence is playing well. Those guys, you know, and everybody
Speaker 1: in marriage and Dominican Sue, who I haven't even heard
Speaker 1: his name mentioned down here until I just mentioned no,
Speaker 1: No one misses, no one misses him. Meanwhile, the problem
Speaker 1: with the Rams as they can't stop and run around
Speaker 1: freaking middle, you know. So yeah, we're never neither here
Speaker 1: nor there. But but day Vincent Taylor, those guys got
Speaker 1: y'all all doing some really good things. And by this defense,
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to see how this defense, how this
Speaker 1: defense continues to move. But also man offense, and you
Speaker 1: can't you can't just you can't get away from offensively. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and look ahead, Maybe you gotta lie, and
Speaker 1: maybe you gotta rely on big places. Maybe you gotta
Speaker 1: reply on the Albert Albert Wilson's and the Jachem grants
Speaker 1: to come up with some big place for you and
Speaker 1: do some things. But that's fine because that's what they do,
Speaker 1: that's what they're here for. I kind of like the
Speaker 1: way the Dolphins approached this game in terms of it
Speaker 1: was a run first mentality on first down, and the
Speaker 1: offensive line took it upon themselves with Frankie and and
Speaker 1: Drake to be able to go north and south. Every
Speaker 1: time we saw Kenyan want to bounce it outside, you
Speaker 1: you wanted to wrinkle up the paper you're holding, because
Speaker 1: that wasn't the way we were gonna beat the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it by hitting the hole and hitting
Speaker 1: it with authority and getting your pads square to the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and making that guy whoever was trying
Speaker 1: to make the tackle carry him another two yards. And
Speaker 1: you'd like to see him kind of take a page
Speaker 1: out of Frank Gore's book. Uh, you know, if it's if,
Speaker 1: if it's a if, it's a design dive play, take
Speaker 1: it up there. And I understand Kenyon, because kenyans a
Speaker 1: little space to take advantage of his speed. But you know,
Speaker 1: once you get lateral in this league, you know, everybody's
Speaker 1: everybody's there, everybody you know, you, like Frank, you need
Speaker 1: to get through that first level and then go ahead
Speaker 1: and look for your running room and look for your space.
Speaker 1: And I remember Kenyan had a chance to get a
Speaker 1: first down some part in the game, going towards the
Speaker 1: west end zone and he caught it in the flat
Speaker 1: or had a run in the flat where he if
Speaker 1: he goes straight outside and it doesn't give that little dip,
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the first down. Was a linebacker there
Speaker 1: and he was all and I'm thinking, just run past
Speaker 1: him and he and he just stop and try to
Speaker 1: come back, and the guy made to play on him.
Speaker 1: Where I'm with you remember that play vividly watching going
Speaker 1: to Kenyon. I guarantee you could have beat that guy
Speaker 1: to the sideline and turned the corner on him and
Speaker 1: at least picked up a first down on it, exactly,
Speaker 1: And that those are the type of things that you
Speaker 1: watch film and you hope that doesn't happen again, that
Speaker 1: you kind of get out of that realm of they
Speaker 1: let's make a big play with every play. Let's make
Speaker 1: the play that's available. And I think as the game
Speaker 1: wore on Kenyan when he got his opportunities in the
Speaker 1: running game, was a little bit more determinous. Run behind
Speaker 1: his pads and and and kind of get tougher in
Speaker 1: that offensive line and get those four in five yards. John,
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to Adam's dad now, I got a
Speaker 1: little relationship with what's going on. No, he's good, he's good,
Speaker 1: But I gotta. We haven't talked about him. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stick a bug in his ear next time I see
Speaker 1: him and say, hey, tell your son, take that bubble
Speaker 1: screen and flush it down the toilet. I think we've run.
Speaker 1: I think we've run this season. I bet we've run.
Speaker 1: How many games we've played, Well, we were six six
Speaker 1: games in, so I'm gonna say we've run at least
Speaker 1: at minimum twelve of them. Runner Tom, I'm just saying minimum.
Speaker 1: I'm just sending the minimum to a game, and I
Speaker 1: would say, if we ramp to a game, are probably
Speaker 1: total yardage gained is probably a minus fourteen yards on
Speaker 1: those bubble screens. I would like to see the I'm
Speaker 1: waiting for the pump on the bubble screen and the
Speaker 1: guys that are going out and blocking. I mean, we've
Speaker 1: set it up quite a bit now, right gets set up.
Speaker 1: So I'm waiting for the the plan b off of
Speaker 1: the bubble screen because i'd rather see I'd rather see
Speaker 1: us get to Danny Ammadol on an option on first down,
Speaker 1: or get O'Leary, or or get somebody else involved. Somebody,
Speaker 1: because it's tough to block that with consistency after a
Speaker 1: team has seen it well, you've seen it so much
Speaker 1: and you get ready to play it. But you know,
Speaker 1: I was actually I didn't see the guy. I didn't
Speaker 1: see the play because I was listening to it on
Speaker 1: the radio when I was leaving, uh, leaving last night
Speaker 1: after having dinner, and I think it was I want
Speaker 1: to say it was New England that ran a bubble
Speaker 1: screen and then he had one of their guys slipped
Speaker 1: and they run. They threw the slant to him. Where
Speaker 1: was everyone's running out of the bubble screen. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, here come it was Chris, Chris Hogan underneath boom.
Speaker 1: It hits him for the slat picks up like fifteen yards.
Speaker 1: So there there is an offshoot off of that. Uh.
Speaker 1: But anyway that I decided to get, you know what,
Speaker 1: I like that play of the Bears ran where it
Speaker 1: looked like option and then godown that playoff twice, and
Speaker 1: I think we worked twice. You can see, you know,
Speaker 1: I think Adam's a smart guy and he probably has
Speaker 1: it already in his offense. But three or four weeks
Speaker 1: down the road, see that I can see that play
Speaker 1: creeping into the Dolphins game plan. Hey John, let's let's
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about before we get off the air,
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about uh, this Sunday another
Speaker 1: home game. Um well, I tell you what, I love
Speaker 1: these home games. Man, it's awesome. I mean, you know
Speaker 1: you're done it, especially one o'clock game, you're done at four.
Speaker 1: You have a nice little dinner and win a game.
Speaker 1: You a little bit. I've been on. I've been on
Speaker 1: two really shitty plane rides coming back from New England.
Speaker 1: Not just miserable, miserable, miserable. So it's it's nice to
Speaker 1: be home and then get this. So but Detroit's coming
Speaker 1: in obviously Matt Stafford, they've got a nice little running
Speaker 1: game coming back stairs, a good guy. And I think
Speaker 1: they're coming off a bye week just like Chicago. Ye,
Speaker 1: we're getting their one off the bye week. Um but
Speaker 1: I think that I think the interesting the interesting thing
Speaker 1: to me, first of all, which which Detroy Lion team are.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see that one that when we saw in
Speaker 1: week one that Matt Patricia wanted to quit and go
Speaker 1: back to New England at halftime. I think at that
Speaker 1: point or that they're the team to beat in New England.
Speaker 1: Just a couple of just a couple of weeks ago. Um,
Speaker 1: but Matt Patricia, it's gonna be interesting us. I know,
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia, how much how much of New England does
Speaker 1: he bring with him? I know he's trying to bring
Speaker 1: that New England a way to Detroit and meeting some
Speaker 1: resistance up there. But how much of a how much
Speaker 1: of the New England things that we see, plays that
Speaker 1: they do, ways they go about. He's played against his
Speaker 1: Dolphin football team for years and years and years. Oh.
Speaker 1: By the way, he's very very tight. He and Adam
Speaker 1: Gays are very very close, very close friends. So that
Speaker 1: will be an interesting matchup to see how those two
Speaker 1: and those are two guys. It's one thing I've always
Speaker 1: said about him. He he loves nothing. His favorite thing
Speaker 1: about football is that chess match between he and that
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator stand on the other side of the foot field.
Speaker 1: And he's gonna enjoy this one. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: enjoy it. And I think that the Miami Dolphins have
Speaker 1: some confidence about playing at home, you know, three and
Speaker 1: oh at home finding ways to win the longest game
Speaker 1: in NFL history. This game overtime, exhausting until the last
Speaker 1: second when you make the winning kick. So It's gonna
Speaker 1: be an exciting and and test. I think as Detroit
Speaker 1: comes in, can you play well and answer a lot
Speaker 1: of questions with injury, you know how many guys are
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get back? Does Ryan come back
Speaker 1: this week? Does Bobby McCain come back, Does Cam Wake
Speaker 1: come back? And on the defensive side, like you said,
Speaker 1: with Patricia being the head coach now in Detroit, does
Speaker 1: he use the same schemes that he had and worked
Speaker 1: so successfully in New England? Different names, different numbers, but
Speaker 1: the schemes are you know, pretty much the same same wrinkles.
Speaker 1: So in preparation for the Dolphins should be a little
Speaker 1: bit easier, should go back a couple of weeks like
Speaker 1: they prepared against New England. Maybe some different things you
Speaker 1: have to always prepare for, but the the basics of
Speaker 1: the way New England plays defense, I would think are
Speaker 1: the same the way Detroit wants to play defense, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. But it's a different football team. And
Speaker 1: then you come in and I think that's one of
Speaker 1: those games, John, where you need to come out and
Speaker 1: really you know, I think, you know, punchment here, here's
Speaker 1: what I just kind of putting my my looking at
Speaker 1: the crystal ball a little bit. I think Brock Osswaider
Speaker 1: is gonna play again. I think Ryan is. I don't
Speaker 1: think you come back from that thing in a week
Speaker 1: if your shoulder is so bad that you you can't
Speaker 1: you can't get the velocity in the ball that you
Speaker 1: want to or or you're just not or that you
Speaker 1: need um. So my my expectation would be Brock Cosswiler
Speaker 1: comes back. I would also think that Bobby McCain this
Speaker 1: maybe they comes back because I saw Bobby before the game.
Speaker 1: He was running something you have a big workout before
Speaker 1: the game, more than he did the week before. And
Speaker 1: I know there was some question last week maybe Bobby
Speaker 1: would play this with this this last week. I didn't
Speaker 1: didn't think that was gonna happen. But but I think
Speaker 1: he's probably more in play this week, possibly to get
Speaker 1: back in. And if you get Bobby in there, boy,
Speaker 1: that really just really cements that that that defense and
Speaker 1: makes it just just that much better. So I think
Speaker 1: with Brock, I think if you get him back, I
Speaker 1: don't think Cam. You know, Cam evidently had some knee
Speaker 1: surgery a week or so ago. I'm not sure about
Speaker 1: Charles Harrison you know, well, Charles, look if he if
Speaker 1: he I'm not sure what he did to his calf.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume he pulled a calf muscle. And and
Speaker 1: a calf muscle is a is a slow as a
Speaker 1: slow healer because every time you it's it's it's all.
Speaker 1: It's like having having a Parsley torn achilles. You don't
Speaker 1: want to push, you don't want to push off it
Speaker 1: because that thing's gonna go. And he's a guy that
Speaker 1: depends on that first and second step. But look, you
Speaker 1: got Andre branch back. Yeah, and so, um, I think
Speaker 1: you'll be all all right there, but it'd be nice
Speaker 1: to have all hands on deck. But uh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I think with the rock in there with Bobby,
Speaker 1: I think Bobby McCain is the he's the big hope
Speaker 1: for me this week, I hope. So he's a guy
Speaker 1: that you just hope he's healthy. I hope he can
Speaker 1: can you know, can get going, and uh, it'll be
Speaker 1: all right there with him. But uh, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna be another it's gonna be another dog fight.
Speaker 1: John could be another Every home game seems to be
Speaker 1: that way, you know, every game that you have to
Speaker 1: grind it out. And every week in the National Football
Speaker 1: you look around the league, there's only a couple of
Speaker 1: teams that have had their way, in Kansas City being
Speaker 1: one of them, until they lose this week at New England.
Speaker 1: The Rams are are doing, you know, what they want
Speaker 1: to do. But you're right, Bo. You look at the records,
Speaker 1: a lot of three lost teams, a lot of four
Speaker 1: lost teams at Jacksonville, jackson will look like they were
Speaker 1: world leaders and then all of a sudden and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys and knock them off and really stuff it to
Speaker 1: him at home. It's you know, the seasons in general,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really strange. It's hard to get a
Speaker 1: real grasp for. You know, it's certainly the best team
Speaker 1: out there right now is Ramps. I mean they're they're
Speaker 1: just rolling over people, may making it look easy. I
Speaker 1: think you put in New England, you know, New England especially,
Speaker 1: they've got all the you know, get Edelman back, get
Speaker 1: Edelman backs, high tower bag, he get Chung back, and
Speaker 1: they get and Gordon. They get the receiver Gordon, who's
Speaker 1: a get him going. He's a big body and he
Speaker 1: seems to be fitting in there pretty well, I was
Speaker 1: thinking about the is watching that game last night. Probably
Speaker 1: no better place for him to go than New England,
Speaker 1: where you know they're gonna stay on top of him.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Brady hasn't put
Speaker 1: his arm around him and said, hey, let's let's me
Speaker 1: and you talk a little bit. Let's get you, let's
Speaker 1: get you right, Let's get your head right and get
Speaker 1: you out of this pattern that you've been in of
Speaker 1: destruction destruction year. Let's get you go into the right direction.
Speaker 1: So so I would just assume that's so. You know,
Speaker 1: So I think they're I think they're a team that's
Speaker 1: certainly on the rise. Um. But but you look at
Speaker 1: everyone else out there and manutes anyone's ball game. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a week a week situation. How you divide that
Speaker 1: season into groups of four games. If the Dolphins can
Speaker 1: find a way to win at home and then on
Speaker 1: a short week, scratch, how to win at Houston. If
Speaker 1: you can go three and one again and the second
Speaker 1: in that second four game quadrant, man, you're looking good,
Speaker 1: I mean, and that and that sets you, that makes
Speaker 1: you delete that Cincinnati debacle there in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: and makes you delete that from your mind because now
Speaker 1: you're sitting at in a good spot. You're sitting at
Speaker 1: six wins, and if you can if you can get
Speaker 1: there at the halfway point, this team is in a
Speaker 1: really good position. That's the way fans can think. You know,
Speaker 1: you and I we can banner about it. The Dolphins
Speaker 1: want to take care of but they're gonna go week
Speaker 1: your week, and that's how you want to you want
Speaker 1: to finish that. That's their business. Their their business is
Speaker 1: to not worry about what's next week, and and and
Speaker 1: and look, I usually don't look forward. I maybe kind
Speaker 1: of look at look ahead to the next week, just
Speaker 1: to see where what's after this one. But I really
Speaker 1: don't like I I beyond that, I don't I really
Speaker 1: don't pay much attention to the schedule. But you know this,
Speaker 1: this is one of those games, John that you know,
Speaker 1: it's a bury game. You can be you you win
Speaker 1: this game against the Troy, you can bury that loss
Speaker 1: against against umand Cincinnati, because that that one, as much
Speaker 1: as it hurt in New England, that that one was
Speaker 1: just it's still naws at me when I think about
Speaker 1: that game and it and it came back to me
Speaker 1: when I stand in sideline, I ship here we go
Speaker 1: again since rock Stadium, and here we go with another
Speaker 1: one of these deals. But the fight in this football
Speaker 1: team there their willingness to just stay toe to toe
Speaker 1: and not really get away from their game plan, not
Speaker 1: not really panicked, not do anything, just play their game
Speaker 1: and come back Bodge Well to me, uh with with
Speaker 1: Detroit coming to town, Well, they stayed after it. They
Speaker 1: stayed honest to who they are, and they took every
Speaker 1: play in every series as a new one. And I
Speaker 1: think on offense that really helped because down and you're
Speaker 1: only kicking field goals that try to get back into it.
Speaker 1: For a certain part of that game, you had a
Speaker 1: feeling that the Dolphins were gonna come up short. But
Speaker 1: they fooled us again. You know, this is a team
Speaker 1: that has come up with some big wins and some
Speaker 1: big plays and all three facets and we haven't even
Speaker 1: gotten to the to the rookie kicker at the end
Speaker 1: of the game. And it's unbelievable. It's a forty seven
Speaker 1: yard game winner after Oh, by the way, the guy
Speaker 1: we had last year did that? Did that script not
Speaker 1: set up perfectly? That Cody Parky was gonna come into
Speaker 1: hard Rock Stadium after the Dolphins let him go. They
Speaker 1: pay him a bunch of money. He just he's gonna
Speaker 1: make the kids. Walks it out a little bit, a
Speaker 1: little block there. I couldn't believe it. I said, bo,
Speaker 1: I think we were standing next to each other's like
Speaker 1: he made it, and you go, no, he missed it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was in the tunnel. Were in
Speaker 1: the because I was sad because I had him, I
Speaker 1: had to go. I was going. I knew I was
Speaker 1: gonna have to be. Our pregame show comes on right after,
Speaker 1: so I kind of buried myself in that tunnel. Just
Speaker 1: let me see it, and I want and I got.
Speaker 1: I missed that out there with a great feeling. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, didn't have Jason come back out and make
Speaker 1: it for his first game winner. I mean, just an
Speaker 1: incredible kick. And it was just funny because I talked
Speaker 1: to him. I have Jason on the postgame show afterwards,
Speaker 1: and I said, I said, man, we're nervous. He's now.
Speaker 1: I look I just you know, yeah, I'm a little nervous,
Speaker 1: but you know, I I looked at my I looked
Speaker 1: at my target lined up went through my routine, did
Speaker 1: everything I had to do, and then just just just
Speaker 1: swung the leg and made the kick. And and you
Speaker 1: know he you see, he's not not a cocky guy.
Speaker 1: All those guys just said, Man, it wasn't It wasn't
Speaker 1: like he said. It wasn't like when I was in college,
Speaker 1: that's for sure, you know. So I think he was
Speaker 1: as surprised as anybody because it wasn't. It surely wasn't
Speaker 1: a chip shot. I can't guarantee you that that was
Speaker 1: a big time And look when you look at it,
Speaker 1: it really was. It really was the best of two situations.
Speaker 1: It worst comes to worst, you're gonna tie the game.
Speaker 1: But and look, no one wants to tie the game
Speaker 1: by any strength of imagination. But at least you have this.
Speaker 1: You know where you're gonna you're gonna when you lined up,
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna lose the game. You can win the game,
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be a tie and everyone's gonna go home,
Speaker 1: piste off. But but you but you knock it through.
Speaker 1: And I think it was I think it's uh his twenty.
Speaker 1: It was the second longest overtime field goal by a
Speaker 1: rookie kicker. Zerline, the Rams kicker, had kicked a fifty
Speaker 1: four yarder in two thousand twelve. But I'll take forty
Speaker 1: seven for the game for the game winner. Right down.
Speaker 1: I asked my said, how far are back could be gone?
Speaker 1: And he said, well, to be honest with you, said,
Speaker 1: he said over time. He said, if it was sixty
Speaker 1: four yards, might as well give it a shot. I
Speaker 1: know I could get the distance there. I didn't know
Speaker 1: whether I would I would get it in So, but
Speaker 1: that's gonna keep a good note keeping the back of
Speaker 1: your mind. It is and you've seen it at practice,
Speaker 1: you've seen it, uh in pre game, and those guys
Speaker 1: take some kicks that I mean from forty seven. That
Speaker 1: thing hit pretty high up on the net and it
Speaker 1: was going through still with a lot of steam on it.
Speaker 1: So that that's a good sign to know at the
Speaker 1: end of a game scenario, if you need him to
Speaker 1: kick fifty plus, he's got the leg to do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was just one of those games that boy,
Speaker 1: the twists and turns, and you know, if you if
Speaker 1: you didn't walk out of that stadium exhausted, like like
Speaker 1: you just went through the ringer or something, you know,
Speaker 1: you you just went through the driving the spin cycle
Speaker 1: in your uh, in your washing machine. Because I know,
Speaker 1: I was worn out. My gut was killing me because
Speaker 1: you go like, we're gonna do this, We're not gonna win. Now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a chance, now we don't. It was emotional, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, I think of myself and
Speaker 1: how I felt, you know, with the emotions of watching it,
Speaker 1: the ups, the downs, you know, the exhilaration of winning
Speaker 1: at the end, and and I'm thinking, and I'm thinking, man,
Speaker 1: I'm tired. I go. But but there's a lot of
Speaker 1: guys on that field that did have nothing left in
Speaker 1: the tank because they left it all out there on
Speaker 1: the football field. And and look I go back along,
Speaker 1: I go back to you know, we win, lose, or draw.
Speaker 1: All I can ask of you is to give me
Speaker 1: your best effort. And I think yesterday was a day
Speaker 1: where there was certainly opportunities out there on Sunday for
Speaker 1: this football team to pack their bags and say, not atitude,
Speaker 1: here's gonna happen. It's another one. You know, we'll get
Speaker 1: it back next week. And instead of that, they just
Speaker 1: kept fighting back and fighting back and fighting back and
Speaker 1: I do believe that is a reflection, a direct reflection
Speaker 1: of not only Adam Gaze, but every coach on this
Speaker 1: coaching staff who you talk about running to the football,
Speaker 1: You're looking at it. You see it every day. These
Speaker 1: guys they run to the game practice, they're running backs,
Speaker 1: going to the end zone. I'm going to the endza
Speaker 1: to get my hand on that football. And that leads
Speaker 1: to the turnovers and the fumbles and the and the
Speaker 1: things that are produced by by this defensive football team
Speaker 1: and offensively, guys just believing that they're gonna make plays
Speaker 1: that you know, the the kee Keem Grants and Danny
Speaker 1: Amondolas Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake Um and Albert Wilson Um,
Speaker 1: you know, they just believe they're gonna make the plays.
Speaker 1: And and and we saw it and and uh man,
Speaker 1: he was it's a fun team to cover, and it's
Speaker 1: a fun team to be around. It's it's a lot
Speaker 1: of guys believing in themselves. But Adam Gays has a
Speaker 1: lot to do with this because he wanted to change
Speaker 1: the culture. He wanted to change the culture of this
Speaker 1: football team. He wanted to get guys in here that
Speaker 1: believed in what he was talking about and didn't have
Speaker 1: their own agenda, or you could have your own agenda,
Speaker 1: but don't make it number one. You know, the team's
Speaker 1: agenda is the primary thing you should be focused on.
Speaker 1: And if you want to do something individually, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but don't make it ever overshadow what this team wants
Speaker 1: to accomplish. And I think you get total buying from
Speaker 1: you know, from the staff, from the players, for everybody
Speaker 1: that's in that touches the football team. It's got to
Speaker 1: feel that way well, he he said. He said time
Speaker 1: and time again, this is the team I've always wanted.
Speaker 1: These are the guys I want on my team. And
Speaker 1: these is the this is the coaching staff I wanted.
Speaker 1: These are the guys I wanted. They they think what
Speaker 1: they think. My way we were in were in sync
Speaker 1: with each other. We're all, you know, working for the
Speaker 1: best thing. And so and I think you're starting to
Speaker 1: you're starting to see it pay off when when guys
Speaker 1: will just fight to the end, you know, they're to
Speaker 1: fight to the end no matter what, and and and
Speaker 1: let the chips follow them. And coaches who are at
Speaker 1: the end of the game of coaching as hard as
Speaker 1: they were on on play one game. That's right, and
Speaker 1: you gotta credit this team. It's not the last game
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be and that's gonna go down to
Speaker 1: the wire, just the way, just the way the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins played football. And you gotta have that belief that
Speaker 1: you've been there before. You're a little bit more comfortable
Speaker 1: with the situation, and you're not. You're accepting the situation.
Speaker 1: You want to be able to be able to put
Speaker 1: teams away, but knowing that you've been in games like
Speaker 1: this throughout, you know early parts of the season is
Speaker 1: gonna pay dividends, I think down the stretch, no doubt. Hey.
Speaker 1: The audible is presented by Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part
