By the way, 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.320 before I move on Sunday's game, I think the UH 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.159 the Dolphins Cancer Challenge presented him with a check for 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:49.120 I believe over five billion dollars for last year's money. 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.800 That puts him up to about twenty seven million dollars 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.640 or somewhere they're in total funds raised for the UH 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.800 the Dolphins Cancer Challenge, and all the money goes down 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.240 to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Cancer Center. So I'm want to 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.040 I want to thank you and could congratulate everybody involved 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.240 with that and uh from from everyone that the start 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.840 of the bike ride that participated, uh that organized that 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:14.160 did volunteered everyone down to Sylvester and everything they do. 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.320 So we're really a good thing that Dolphins doing. It 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.520 was good to see that on on Sunday afternoon and 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.920 the way that you know, they had everybody involved, from 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.000 the owner of the Miami Dolphins all the way down 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.280 to people that you know rode in the race, and 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.600 it was just incredible the amount of support and the 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.800 amount of dedication that not only the organization put behind it, 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.680 but uh, you know, the center itself and and the 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.920 good it does for this community. It's incredible. You know what, 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.160 every every dollar to me, every dollar is about time. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.280 Every dollar is about giving you fifteen minutes longer with 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.240 your your loved one, or a week longer, a month longer, 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.760 and that's what it's all about. So to see this 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.440 organization really get behind it, it's a it's really been 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.360 a special thing. So I just want to touch on that. 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.360 Other than that. Damn wan a freaking game man, man, 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.080 That that thing you talk about most in turn and 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.000 we're in it. We're out of it. We can't come back. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.960 We came back, what's gonna happen. He's not gonna miss 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.480 that can he missed the checknology. I mean what I 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:12.200 was spent after the game, but I was freaking worn out. 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.040 You know, you went to dinner after the game. I 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.639 went to dinner after the game, and I just sat there, going, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.239 how the hell win that game? I mean, you're down, 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.080 We're answering touchdowns with field goals, and you're going, we 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:28.400 got a backup quarterback in We're depleted everywhere. Guys are 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.679 falling like flies, and there's no way, there's no no 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.160 sense of a feeling that you were going to stop 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.680 Chicago in the second half. But somehow, some way, the 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.040 Miami Dolphins found a way to win that game. And 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.360 you're dodging a lot of bullets along the way. But 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.440 they were able to make plays on in all three 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.680 fasts when they needed to. But I felt I felt 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:54.639 coming out at halftime once they scored. They scored twice 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.000 in three and a half minutes right around there, I 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.640 think six minutes into the game, into the into the 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.519 third quarter, we're down twenty one to ten. They scored 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.440 three quick touchdowns and I'm thinking, man, here we go 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.280 here goes Cincinnati again, where you know, we play a 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.120 really good first half, feeling good about yourself, and then 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.679 all of a sudden, man, the bottom just falls out 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.960 of you and the number of the points are coming 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.880 in big bunches, and and and we can't respond is 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.640 quickly enough and what and then but but man, I'll 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.440 tell you it's a good thing. They play sixty minutes, 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:29.399 were close to seventy minutes in this one. But you know, John, 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.320 this was one of you you know, it's to me 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.680 those those the three touchdowns in the second half, we're 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.760 in aberration. They just kind of happened. Um uh, look, 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.640 cert we had some trouble over on that side. They 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.200 kept kept working against kept working offset x. They were 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.000 going after touring the tire and then you know when 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.560 you got in and and doing that, they look, it's understandable, 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.640 but it presents it presents you with three quick scores 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.840 and now in the bottom looking up. But that defense 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.240 just kind of ratchet it up a little bit, tightened up, 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:02.680 and well you know big you know, interception, big interception 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.680 by t J. Big forced fumble recovery by t J. 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.960 Maye and and uh and Kiko coming up with it. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.280 And and not forget you kind of forget early in 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.320 the game they gotta stopped fourth and one at the 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.719 goal line, you know, another goal line stand that maybe 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.120 I think that's the third time this year that the 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.039 Offins have stopped somebody on downs at the goal line 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.560 and and come up with big play. So big plays 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.719 there and um, you know, just never say dived. Never 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.480 did say dive defense out there. And I thought they 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.880 played extremely, extremely well against that Chicago Bear team. Now, 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.000 having said that, the three quick touchdowns are the you 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.240 know the ones that and you're right both coming out 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.400 after halftime, I think I told I was sitting next 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:50.520 to Sam Madison and Troy's Uh Stratford, and I said, 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.560 you know what, guys, the first team that scores a 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.240 touchdown and or makes a kick is going to win 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.360 this game. I think it's gonna be a ten seven 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.599 GAMEEAM like in game or or something like that. But 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.720 you're right both. The Chicago Bears ran five plays early 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.120 in the third quarter that led to fourteen points and 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.520 then they got to twenty one, which six fifty left 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.840 in the third quarter, and I'm thinking there is no 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.520 possible way that from what I've seen from this offense, 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.520 we're gonna score, but we don't. We can't score that 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.839 much in that amount of time left, just because I 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.919 haven't seen it a year. Scores we're gonna be the 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.960 typical we've grinded down the field, grinding down the field, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.200 either kick a field goal or punch it in the 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.599 end zone for a touch. But it wasn't gonna be 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.440 you know what what you saw from from from Chicago. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.240 But then we forgot about Albert Wilson and talk about 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.960 quick score capability from Albert Wilson. Two quick scores that 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:52.599 were just phenomenal place in out around defenders and being 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.520 able to to make people miss in space and run 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.040 away from a very fast Bears defense. I think I 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.680 saw on that yield. I mean you can throw in 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.320 uh Tarik Cohen because he's one of the fastest players 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.240 I've seen play against the Dolphins defense all year long. 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.600 I mean that game was in and outer cuts, he 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.080 was making runs, he was you know, run after catch 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.599 after first contact. The guy was phenomenal. And the way 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.960 they ran past you know, the corners to make big 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.840 explosive plays. But then you take a look at at 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.320 what Albert Wilson did that was that was sensational running. 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.880 I mean that coach always says he's got a runnings back. 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.000 He's a running back body, but he he runs like 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.160 a wide receiver and he plays he plays bigger than 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.919 his size. Well, he played bigger, he played faster, He 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.279 played smarter than the Bears defense because he was able 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.960 to find the end zone on two spectacular runs. And 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.440 he's a stronger runner than then you would think for 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:53.680 his size, much like good Jachim in Kansas City run 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.159 right through some defenders on his way to a touchdown. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:00.240 And with Albert Wilson, you're seeing another littless, smallish guy 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.360 that's got the the stamina and the strength to break 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.640 tackles and then and then turn it on with his 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.800 jets and and take it to the house. And and well, 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.640 I'll tell you what an addition to this football. And 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.840 I just I can't get I can't get over Albert 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.520 when he scores. It's all about everybody, Come on down, 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.360 Come on down. This is a team thing. And I 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:25.080 think yesterday John, of of all games that we've seen, 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:30.360 is an example of of what this team believes they are, 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.840 which is a team, a team of everybody, a team 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:38.000 where everybody matters, where everybody counts, where everybody's gonna give 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.920 you something, and everybody at some point may hurt you, 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.040 but they're gonna come back to you and they're gonna 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.120 get you back into somebody else. Somebody else is going 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.080 to do something and be able to make up and 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.640 mask some of the UH deficiencies, whether it's on offense, 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.960 defense and special teams both. I don't know how many 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.760 times I've looked at Jonathan Wood and Cameron malbon go. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.600 Those guys are gonna play a significant factor, are you 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.880 kidding me? You know? And they're good players and they 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.800 give you everything they've got. But if you'd have told 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.239 me before the season, you're gonna depend on him not once, 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.280 but twice, two guys you let go. Two guys you 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.640 let go at the end of try And I love 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.400 Calvin Malvina. I loved Cameron Malvo from yes last year 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.880 because he all he did when he got in games, 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.000 play hard plays, and he played hard, and you'd see 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.960 him get he'd be disruptive, he'd be causing things. So 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.600 I was really disappointed when they let him go, And 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.440 then when they brought Wood back instead of him, I thought, 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.480 man Malvo is my man, and then Woodard plays to 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.839 me those to me there. If you don't you take 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.200 you take their numbers off of them and have them 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.240 run run away from that. You don't know which one 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.800 is with the same size, same physical built, same way 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.720 they Yep, everything is the same about him. And it 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.839 was really a blessing that you got Andre branch back 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.400 yesterday because he was able to eat up a lot 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.960 of snaps that would have been put on their plate. 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.160 Even more stress, how about the inside play, I mean, 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.240 it's unbe able. How Vincent Taylor has become just a 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.000 relentless force for this defense. Kiko Alonso is playing his 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.200 best football since his rookie year. The guys all over 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.600 the field, so that defense is it's just not one 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.400 guy t j comes up, comes up big. There's guys 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.240 that are making plays all around that first first of all, 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.200 to touch on this, you know, the there's a major 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.000 difference in that defense. And we've seen it now in 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.200 the last two weeks when Rashad Jones is in that defense. 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.680 When Rashad was out for a couple of weeks, same 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.160 guys out back there, but it was, uh, it wasn't 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.880 quite you know, a little, just a little, you know, vague. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.120 I would use the word vague for that defense without him, 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.520 But when he gets in, it just locks down. And 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.680 he's like just a glue that brings that whole group together. 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.320 And I don't know if it's just motivation. The way 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.120 he plays, they just follow his his his lead. Um, 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.199 but with him and and I know by I know 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.240 by the way, um number twenty two is playing pretty football, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.880 pretty darny good football too. There was a lot of 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.440 people last year after that eight games, after the spend, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.800 how Jesus why they extend him? And now I read 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.599 an article day go, yeah, look at how good t 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.480 J is playing. He's only he's only getting paid a 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.320 million one. But now they're happy, and you know, so 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.320 you know, but but he's playing great football for you. 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.160 So they'll say they have Minka to it and and 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.720 John if if if Rashad's the glue, the super glue 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.640 is on his way, Yes, because Bobby's got a boy 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:30.120 to make it, really Bobby, Bobby, Bobby takes that. Bobby 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.400 gives you a competitive guy opposite X where they've got 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.040 a test text every now and then. I don't even 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.640 think they threw a ball. I think they threw one 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.240 ball his way and it was on one of those 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.920 little bubble screens or something, and he blew it up 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.640 up as soon as they did. But but John, the 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.480 one guy we haven't talked about, and then the one 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.320 guy that you really gotta to go to his brockos Wilder. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.199 I mean, I mean, here's a guy that gets a 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:56.360 text in the dame that hey, hey, strapping up, big 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.839 stramping up, big fella, you're up, You're up, and it's 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:03.600 the Chicago Bears waiting for you. But boy, I tell 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.120 you talk about a guy come in, played with poise, uh, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.520 handled the situation. I remember watching walk out for the 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.959 first snap, got the hell together. You know they're kind 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.439 of they're kind of meandering around. Now, no, get down, 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.760 let's go get in here, get him in here and 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.560 get him on his page. And boy, you you just 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.240 just I don't know, I don't know what you can 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.320 say about the way that that Brock handled the situation, 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.240 handled that huddle, and and and just handled the game itself. 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.040 He played with poise number one, and he played with 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:38.640 experience and a confidence that you don't get right away. 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.720 I mean, this is a guy that had a belief 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.559 in himself and had an opportunity and took took advantage 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.080 of his opportunity, which makes me feel good because that's 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.160 a tough situation to come into, knowing that you're here 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.240 for an insurance policy. If something were to happen, you 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.640 don't know if once your name is called, you don't 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.800 know if it's a quarter, if it's a play, if 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.720 it's a week, if it's two, a month. But whenever 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.760 your name is called, you have to play at the 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.800 level that that guy left, which is Ryan Tannehill, and 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.440 then maybe up at a couple levels to get a 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.120 win at home. Played it against it, played against the 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.480 defense that's tenacious. All week we were talking about clil Mac. 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.800 All week, we talked about the offensive line that had 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.760 to do a good job keeping pressure off Ryan Tannehill. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.480 Now you throw Brock was Oswhiler in the equation a 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.360 guy that doesn't move the whole whole you know, he 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.040 doesn't move a whole lot from his spot. He's but 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:33.880 he's going to get the ball out on time, and 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.280 he's gonna throw it away and burn a couple of 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.280 plays because he needs to. And I thought he was 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.400 smart doing that. He was really good at the line 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.920 of scrimmage. We had one delay a game penalty I think, 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.679 which kind of hurt. But he overcame some of the 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.920 bad throws, some of the bad decisions with big plays, 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.360 and he had a running game and an offensive line 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.120 to bail him out and to keep keep the offensive 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.880 float when they needed to. Well that that offensive line 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.160 did a remarkable job all day. And look now, look 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.600 they certainly had help. Every time I looked at Khalil 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.040 Mack fours either a back over there and tell you, 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.280 I tell you that the kind of unsung here on 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.960 the last couple of weeks, it has been Nicole Leary right, 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.040 and a lot of plays but great and Cincinnati did 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:19.960 a lot of good things in Cincinnati. Came out here 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.319 and did not not only do the score touchdown, not 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.160 only did he catch three passes I think all of 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.319 them for first downs and may have been on third downs, 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.680 and that he could complete three or got three passes, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.240 but he I mean, he was one of the guys 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.320 instrumental in keeping Khalil Mack out out of the backfield. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.600 He'd line up over there on the side of him 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.520 and just hi and jack him up. Yeah, you know, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.840 he's an old school tight end. Yes, it's a guy 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.439 that gets it done. And he doesn't look great. You 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.480 kind of overlook him a little bit. But watching him 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.320 practice over the last two and a half weeks, every 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.160 time he catches the ball, I'm looking for somebody to go, 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.560 who is that? Yeah, oh that's for good. He was 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.400 on the team, and and slowly but surely, over the 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.160 last couple of weeks he is. He's played well enough 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.480 that other guys on the team are going to coach 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.320 ks going, hey, we gotta get this guy out. This 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.439 guy they have seen with him now for for the 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.079 last couple of weeks is hey, he can block. And 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.920 he's not just uh, you know, do not just a 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.000 standing your way. He'll move. He'll move some people at 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.280 the line of scrimma. So so he's he's and and 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.240 John I said this one the first time I saw him. 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.920 He's a lot more stout than I thought. He's not 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.000 that lean sin tight end. He is. Yeah, he's been 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.960 in the weight room and and he's got some strength 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.720 to him. Um, but his ability to catch the football 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.240 and his ability to run after the catch is something 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.840 I think surprised me a little bit. So another great 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.000 addition that that you kind of keep looking at and 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.000 you go, man, just when this team can gets a 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.320 little healthier, when that health starts coming back, there's another 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.800 little piece you out into the puzzle that that that 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.000 that really is making plays and doing some good, good 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.640 things for you. So so he's another guy out there. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.280 But but but kind of going going back to Brock, 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:01.240 you know, just you know, not panicking when you're down 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.920 by three or would be down by eleven, not after 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.880 the three touchdown, could continue to play your game. And 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.560 that offensive line was I was getting at. You know, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.320 I think I think they did two things for Brock 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:16.280 that didn't really needed to be done. A they protected 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.320 him as a as a passer. They gave him time 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.040 to throw the football. Maybe more importantly, they created running lanes. 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.720 They allowed the running game to be a factor, because 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.360 had that running game not been the factor that it 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.560 was in that game, I guarantee you your pressure would 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.040 have been coming in a big, big way on brock 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.640 Oss Wilder. And you talked about us, I would be 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.520 the guy if I if I was practicing against a 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.640 quarterback like Brock brock Oss Wilder going into the game, 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.000 I would take a cone and I would put it 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.400 on a spot about seven yards deep right behind the 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.200 center and say that's my point, because that's where he's 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.760 gonna be all day long. He ain't going anywhere other 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.480 than that, and that makes it and that certainly makes 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.480 it easy on a defensive alignment. But he was able 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.400 to he was able to move a little bit. He ran, ran, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.160 ran a couple of times, got out of the pocket 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.760 and did some things which kind of surprised me. But why. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.480 I just think his his demeter walking into that game 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.160 set a lot to that huddle, and I think it's 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.640 said a lot to the fans that were watching at 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:19.120 the stadium or watching on TV that hey, look from 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.760 when I saw Brocker Oswald in the preseason, like, uh no, 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.360 we get to him. Were in trouble. But I was 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.960 pleasantly surprised by by the way he handled the whole situation. 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.680 I just think he he had supreme confidence in his 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.480 ability and it helped him that the game played out 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.680 the way it did for the Dolphins. On offense, Frank 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.320 Gore ran the football so effectively on first down, and 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.320 Kenyan Drake when he had his opportunities, but more Frank 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.520 going straight ahead, I mean, he did not hesitate. He 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.920 was moving piles, he was making carrying guys with him 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:58.720 four yards, five yards, six yards for two yards and 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.680 then three or feo four more and he'd find a 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.760 little the little is crease if one wasn't available to 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.679 to stick his nose in there, knowing that second and 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.280 six is a hell of a lot better than second 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.959 eleven or second and ten or second and nine. And 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.080 that kept the Dolphins ahead of the chains, which I 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.520 thought for the majority of the game helped rock Osweidler. 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.399 And the only other thing but I'll say to that 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.320 that complimented the running game was getting the football a 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.840 little bit more frequently to Danny Amendola because he provides 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:32.199 you quick, open windows, easy throws, those lay up throws 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.560 that you're looking for to kind of keep the pressure 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.160 off the running game. But moving the offense forward, yeah, no, 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:40.960 no doubt about it. So yeah, it was. It was 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:42.800 a lot a lot of good stuff that you saw 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.720 offensively coming out of that football game. And he's just 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.119 gotta give you now. Now, the question is, and the 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.520 question that was asked of Adam Gaze after the game 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.560 the next day, after the game and all those things, 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.399 was was Ryan Tannehill, when's he gonna come back? And 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.240 I gotta think with this situation, you know that it's hey, 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.680 take your time, take your time, make sure you're healthy. 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.119 And and he also said, when Ryan's healthy, is he 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:07.879 gonna be in the Yes, he'll be the hell be 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.399 the quarterback. But you know, you feel pretty good. I 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.000 think you feel pretty good about I feel better now 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:17.119 than I did going in, I mean much. I was 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.560 like you, I was waiting for a couple of the 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:24.399 throws that well when we saw one, I mean we 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.359 saw I didn't go for six, but we saw one 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.240 of those come out a little late, a little dead, 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.840 a little inside, and they both ended up as interceptions. 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.560 You know, the deep ball to Davante Parker and the 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.919 other ball in front of the Dolphins bench. Both of 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:41.120 those plays you in your mind, you go, I don't 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.560 want to If you see too many of those, it's 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.840 gonna be a bad day for the Dolphins. And because 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.480 we've seen him in the preseason, you've seen him in practice. 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.280 But Brock was able to overcome and the team was 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.400 able to overcome those plays and get and crank out 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:57.000 of victory. Yeah, it's it's it's funny, John, it was 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.040 you know, the last two weeks have been gloom and 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.200 doom around here, and it's like that for every team 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.840 in the National Football League. You lose one, you lose two, 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.320 and it's just as a black cloud hanging over you. 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.680 Uh But but now you know you're sitting here four 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.280 and two, you're feeling pretty good. You're see you're you're 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.440 tied for first place in the a f C East. 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.159 And John, I'm looking through this, I'm looking through the 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.320 records in all of football, and and you know they're 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.679 the most most of are three and three. Got a 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.359 lot of three and threes. You you know, got some 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.280 other you know, I think you got you only got 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.720 you got. LA is the only the Rams, the only 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.280 team undefeated as Kansas City went down, uh to to 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:32.760 New England. So you know, it's one of those things, John, 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.199 where you're just you're stacking up wins. You know, we 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.120 we talked about winning the quarter. They won the first 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.760 quarter three you know, three, three wins and one loss. 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.080 And and here you start the second quarter your one 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.119 and one, you know, with with really at home again 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.679 with the Detroit team coming in that you know that 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.439 we've seen good Detroit. We've seen bad Detroit. But the 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.560
