Will The Miami Dolphins Have The NFL’s Best Defensive Front This Year?

Will The Miami Dolphins Have The NFL’s Best Defensive Front This Year?

On this episode of Inside the NFL, I am joined by Alf Artiaga from three yards per carry for our annual postdraft discussion. We’re going to discuss the Miami Dolphins defensive front, Ramsay, Tyreek Hill, and everything under the sun when it comes to the Miami Dolphins. So, do me the favor, smash that like button, subscribe if you are new, and as always, let’s get into this. You have got to be kidding me. Touchdown. Beautiful day to be a dolphin dance. Let’s go. What is good Finn Nation? What’s good? more reason and we are back here for another one and today I am joined by Alf Artega from three yards per carry like I said our it’s become an annual postdraft discussion between me and him um Alf how are you doing sir as we head into May rookie mini camp has wrapped up the schedule has been released we now know our opponents um and when we’ll be facing them more importantly and where also So, you know, hey, there’s excitement in the air because of the draft class a little bit even with the departures of Kus Campbell and Armstead and the drama surrounding Tyreek as well as Ramsay. We’ll discuss it all, but hey, how you feeling right now with the status of the Dolphins overall? I’m pretty excited for for this season. Uh, it seems like the team is going under going under some culture changes. Uh it’s obvious some of the changes that they’ve made and it’s it’s good to see that they realize they’re self-aware enough to try to work on the things that they needed to fix from this past season, namely get bigger, get more physical, revamp the entire interior defensive line, and they’ve executed on it. And you really can’t fault this team after this off season. And I look, we can nitpick all we want about, you know, this guy or that guy. I had my own issues with the draft, but I absolutely love what they did with the first three picks, including the trade. As it turns out, the trade for for Jonah Savana uh actually saved them Jonah Savana because he was going to be a New England Patriot with the next pick in that round. So, you can’t complain. At the end of the season, we said this team is desperate for interior defensive line help. They’ve went out and they did that. They rebuilt that entire room. Rebuilt it young. And we said they needed guards and they added James Daniels and Jonah Savana. And you got to be happy about that as well. So, they went out to tackle those two things and I think that they accomplished those two things. So, you got to be pretty happy about that. Now, only one one weakness remains. That’s the quarterback position after they trade Jayla Ramsey. Mhm. Um, all right. So, let’s start getting into things and let’s go a little bit in chronological order. Let’s start with uh Tyreek Hill. Now, me and you already spoken to the people together since the season ended, so they know what we think about the whole quitting situation, but it’s continued to get worse with like more drama um in the whole sense of everything that’s been going on from him leaving Tua. Obviously, he knew what he was doing, leaving him off that list. You know, Armstead had to come out and do some, you know, you know, damage control, even trying to be still being an ambassador for the team, even though he retired. Um, you know, and obviously he’s had the other personal life drama going on with his wife and such like that, too. Um, where are you at with the Tyreek Hill situation? And it’s obvious we’re it’s it it’s obvious we’re stuck at this point. But let me ask you this. If something big happens, like let’s say something on the level of the Marina incident, would you be shocked if they actually just turned around and cut him? I would be because of I post you their accounting and you know they’re they’re look like they’re not going to spend an entire off season cleaning up their books and tidying them up to then completely mess them up you know with a Tyreek Hill cut. Yeah. But it’s obvious what’s happened with Tyreek. They wanted to trade him but they just couldn’t. The guy damaged his his trade value at every single turn. And now he’s had those two surgeries. Mhm. The first one to fix it, the second one to close up the the wound, take the pins out. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, he’s completely destroyed his trade value. So, he’s going to be on the team. So, all you can do is make the best of it. And then at the end of the season, he’s either going to have some trade value because he had a good season or he’s going to have no trade value because he had a bad season and then you’re going to have to cut him next off seasonason. So, he’s here for one more year and we just got to make the best of it. It’s It’s hasn’t gone the way you would want it to go. Yeah. As far as, you know, with Tyreek this offseason because you wanted to trade him. You wanted to trade him for an asset and he’s he’s I guess damaged that. Who knows if it some of it’s his own doing and some of it is not, you know, some of it’s just that injury and his play this past year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But let me ask you this, okay, man? You know, we’ve both been around the block. All right. You know, we know people, you know, everyone out here probably watching this knows someone in their life where, you know, let’s talk about his personal life for a second with what he’s going through with his wife and everything. Isn’t a part of you worried that like if we don’t get off to the greatest start in the world, you know, with what’s going on with his wife and everything, this guy could go into a dark place. And you know, Miami might be one of the worst places a professional athlete can go into a dark place personally. You know what I mean? And isn’t there a little part of you that’s really worried that if things don’t get off to a good start and things continue to go sideways with him and his wife that this situation could get even worse? Like I’m at the point where I wouldn’t be shocked if that happened and like, you know, Bradley Chub ended up throwing fisticuffs with him in in the locker room. That would even would even shock me if that came out. You know what I mean? Like, isn’t a part of you worried about where it kind of feels like we’re sitting on a volcano that’s just ready to explode with what’s going on personal life and all it feels like it’s going to take to be that tipping point is if this team has a bad start. Do you share that sentiment or no? Uh, I do and I don’t and I’ll tell you why. Um, I think one thing that Dolphins do have going in in their favor is this divorce that he is actually going through because I think that’s going to refocus him. Okay, that’s going to refocus him on to football. Now, here’s the bad news. What if the football doesn’t go too well? That’s what Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. Okay, there’s a lot of evidence to suggest that this team is best served with Jaylen Wadd being the primary. I agree. And there’s numbers to back that up. Some of it is proprietary, but you know, and that I can’t divulge. But the best incarnations of this team is actually with Jaylen Waddle as primary because the gravitational pull to toward Tyreek Hill and a lot of coverages allows Jaylen Waddle to work in the short area one-on-one and Jaylen Wadd in the short area one-on-one is unguardable. Like you can’t stick him inside in the short zone. So that’s the good news and the bad news. So, you’re going to have to have to you’re going to have to get good results on the football side to keep him on the straight and narrow, but like I said, we’re just counting down the time. It’s it’s one season, you know, got to make it through this one season with Tyreek Hill before we cut bait. Yeah. Um, all right. So, let’s keep it going and we’ll go chronologically. So, you know, before the draft, it was known internally the situation going on with Jaylen Ramsay. Um, you know, obviously it was known before free agency. Um, which makes it even more of a kind of little bit of a piss off that they didn’t handle it better in free agency when they knew what was on the horizon and what they’re on the cusp of with this whole Ramsay situation. But I digress. Um, your take on the Ramsay situation and where we’re at. You know, the Rams are interested. you know, Raheem Morris and his love with Ramsay, the Falcons, they they make sense. Um, I know the Raiders are hungry for a corner as well. There’s teams out there that make sense for Jaylen Ramsay. Um, but one of the sticking points has been reported that a lot of these teams don’t want to take on the full salary. Now, deeper than this, we have what’s been labeled as irreparable, the relationship between Mike McDaniel and Jaylen Ramsay. Um, now when um, you know, when that good old boy Slick Rick broke that a Dolphin player was going to be traded and I verified and put it on my Patreon on my channel, you know, within 40 minutes I had it that it was Jaylen Ramsay. And then within 24 hours, I had another report. You know, I was reporting before that Armando um little article came out about 10 to 12 days before that on Patreon. I was already talking about how I’d already got verification that Ramsay was not a fan of the culture uh that Mike McDaniels built, the demeanor of the coach, the coaching style of the coach. Um you know, but on the flip side, we’ve heard he likes Weaver, he likes Chris Greer, it’s just he doesn’t like Mike McDaniel. Um, and I do think, you know, there’s a couple varying factors, right? There’s no guaranteed money after this year. The whole Tyreek situation, don’t think he’s a huge fan of the whole Tyreek situation. What’s your take on Ramsay? Is it a red flag to you that he doesn’t like McDaniel or are you looking are you in the boat of, oh, this has happened in other places? It is what it is with this guy. Um, and what do you think they end up getting for Jaylen Ramsay? Well, uh, I have no sympathy for Jaylen Ramsey. I love the player. I think he’s a first ballot hall of famer as of as of right now. He’s he has that trajectory to be a first ballot hall of famer. But part of the the problem here is Mike McDaniels doing, but most of it is Jayla Ramsey. He’s done this everywhere he’s been with all kinds of coaches, okay? The very best of coaches to obscure coaches to ones that he wants to go back to now because I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the Rams are essentially just doing that tampering thing that they’re allowed to get away with every single year for whatever reason. Okay. Uh you know that a head coach admits that he’s had uh you know communications with another team’s player is embarrassing that the NFL won’t do anything about it. But anyway, that’s true. I didn’t actually think about that. That’s a good point. Yeah. Sean McVey bas basically say, “Yeah, I keep in touch with him all the time.” And I’m like, “Oh, that’s nice, Sean.” Yeah. Yeah. You know, that’s nice. That’s nice that you know that you could, you know, call him up and see how he’s doing at any moment of time, you know, and maybe, you know, you could instruct him of how to make a real mess of things down here so he could get his way back to LA. But look, I think most of this is Mike McDaniel’s doing. When Jaylen Ramsey came in, if you ever been to camp and you watch these guys on the sideline, Mike McDaniel had uh his own little click that he would communicate with consistently during practices and it consisted of Jaylen Ramsey, Terron Armstead. Um, at a time it was it was uh Christian Wilkins and Robert Hunt as well, but it also included Tuango Aloa. Last year it was mostly Jaylen Ramsay on defense that he would talk to and they would have communication with. He created this atmosphere that it was a player empowerment atmosphere where you could take ownership of your own thing. You could take ownership of your team. It’s your team. It’s not my team. Last year, as soon as they started losing, Mike McDaniel decided to assert a little bit more of his control. And lo and behold, who resented that? Jaylen Ramsey. So Jaylen Ramsey just got, in my opinion, he got the wrong message originally from Mike McDaniel. And now Mike McDaniel’s essentially paying for it because Jayla Ramsey doesn’t like the new uh you know the new Mike McDaniel which essentially takes back some of the control from that that he gave away to players willingly. So now he’s taking it back and they don’t like it. It takes a certain type of player to you know to be a good soldier in this regard. They have a lot of those guys on this team. Jaylen Ramsey is not one of them. Jaylen Ramsey very strong willed. He’s done this before. He’s doing it again. And if I’m the Dolphins, I play hard ball. Look, we’re under no we’re under no stress and we’re under no obligation to take a deal that we do not want. So, I think that they’ll wait. I think they’ll wait past June 1st uh to help with the with the cap ramifications. And I don’t think they’re going to fire Salem. I think they’re going to try to get a legitimate asset in return for for Jayla Ramsey. Now, are they going to get a second round pick? No. No. No. No. You know, will they hold out for a third round pick? Yeah, they’re going to try and get a third or fourth. Like, especially if these teams want to want want us to take on most of the cap. If you want us to take on all that cap, okay, higher pick, right? If you’re willing to eat a lot of that cap, okay, let’s talk about a fourth round pick. But I’m not Don’t even call me for a fifth. Like, that’s what I’d be like. Don’t even call me. Don’t even pick up the phone. I completely agree with you. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I know people are saying, “Oh, but remember what he did in Jacksonville where, you know, he faked an injury.” Look, he was going to fake an injury last year if we didn’t extend him. Okay. Remember that he had mysteriously had a lower extremity injury last year. Remember? And it worked with X. He had already seen it work with X, right? Yeah. Yeah. So then he he does it, right? And he gets paid. Uh, look, if you’re going to do it again here, we’ll just bench you. Look, the the Miami Heat. Look, it didn’t work out for the Miami Heat. It didn’t work out for Jimmy Butler either. Okay. Although Jimmy Butler got his his money, the Miami Heat played it just right. The Miami Heat said, “Oh, you’re going to do this faking an injury thing, right? All right, we’ll suspend you and then we’ll trade you and we’re going to trade you for the best deal possible that we can get. We’ll play hard ball with you.” Look, the Dolphins can do that. They could there’s mechanisms to stash a player on their team if the player is insubordinate. And quite frankly, you could sue him for his money at the end of the season. So, so where are you at? If he wants to play if he wants to play real hard ball, the Dolphins can play hard ball as well. In the meantime, I think that they’ll try to essentially sell him for the best deal possible. If they could get a third round pick and they take on most of the salary, I think they’ll do that. So where so where are you at with the let’s talk about the quarterback market because I think the smart play would be try to land that third or fourth round pick. You already landed a third round pick from trading back from 116 and then try to flip one of those picks be you know either the third round you got from trading back from 116 or the third or fourth you get in return for Ramsey because you’re hopefully going to get a fourth round compensatory pick for Holland to replace one of those picks. Maybe flip it back for another corner. Now, the problem is the market is thin and they come with their little tag. So, some of the big names out there are like Jier Alexander is out there, but obviously he’s got the injury history. A guy I like, but I think he’s more of a solid number two than he is ready to take on a number one. And I think he makes a lot of sense with what they want. You know, we were talking privately before we went live here about what we know they want to kind of do coverage-wise. I think a guy that would make sense for that is Jaylen Watson out of Kansas City. They’re not going to be able to extend him because Trent McDuffy and the money they’re already handing out, but the options are kind of slim. I mean, because you’re, you know, Russell Douglas, Stefon Gilmore, guys kind of over the hill. Um, what are your thoughts of, okay, let’s say we do move off Ramsay because we get the right deal. What are your thoughts on the options out there to I don’t want to use the word to replace him, but to you know potentially lessen the blow of the loss even if Ramsay looked like he was losing a step last year as he’s going over that you know daunting over the 30 hill that isn’t usually good for quarterbacks. Well, we know that they’ve made contact with Russell Douglas. I think he has an offer in hand. Actually, he does. He rejected. Yeah. Okay. So obviously when a guy has a offer in hand and then he goes to Seattle to shop the offer is that the offer is not very good. Yeah. The notorious Greer lowball. That’s what it was. Yeah. Well, we know Chris Greer’s out there, you know, you know, rubbing pennies together saying, “Here, take this.” I mean, sure. I mean, sure. Yeah. You know, look, I told you that’s why it makes no sense whatsoever to me that they’re going to fire sale Jaylen Ramsey. you don’t spend an entire off season cleaning up your cap, cleaning up your books to then destroy it, you know. Uh so that’s why I think they’re going to hold pretty firm to to whatever offer they make. Look, they they spoke with Stfon Gilmore as well. There’s no uh I haven’t heard anything about them speaking with Asante Samuel, but he has an injury history that that’s that’s an issue. Yeah. So the neck, you know, will they trade for a guy? There’s a few guys out there that that are kind of appetizing, but are you going to get back into the expensive quarterback market, you know? So, there’s some options and especially with the way that they want to play defense this year, you know, they essentially are trading off one for the other. They’re not going to have a balanced defense. They’re going to they’re going to rely on that pass rush and they’re going to rely on interior push to essentially hide their quarterback play. And they might even play a lot of big nickel to hide it even further. and basically condensed the field to outside the hashes. Okay. So, they they were more of a middle of the field open defense before. I think they’ll be damn near guaranteed to be a middle of the field closed defense this coming season. So, especially with all everything that they’ve added on the team, including even their new linebackering core. So, yeah, I would expect them to sign one of these guys. And once they sign one of these guys, I think they might go as is really. And they’re hoping I think one of those guys is going to is going to develop. If it’s not the the draft pick and Jason Marshall, it’s going to be one of the UDFAs that they brought back last year. I know they like Storm Duck a lot. So a lot got Kov on the other side. Oh, another guy that they did make contact with and he’s a guy absolutely love is Mike Hilton. But Mike Hilton is a nickel specialist. Yeah. Yeah. So, like that’s the thing like you know Mike Hilton’s out there on the free agent market, Amique Robertson’s out there on the trade market. If you land those guys, what’s the plan? You’re shifting Kohoo out. Yeah, I think that that’s what which I think they’re going to Yeah, I think I’ve been telling fans I think be prepared. I think they I think Koh is going to see a lot more boundary play because they started last year it looked like they were starting to tinker with that transition. So, and look, one thing, one thing you can say about Kater Kohu, he’s played in three different systems down here, but last year, the second half of the season, he seemed to really, really click to the system. Yeah. It was the light bulb turned on for him and you could see him coming along. Yeah. I think he I think we’re going to be fine there. And this is going to be his second year in the same system. He should take to it. I think they feel pretty good about one side of the defense. Uh, I’m telling you, and I think they’re really high on BJ Adams. I know he’s a UDFA, but I think they’re super They brought him on on a 30 visit. I think they’re really high on him, man. That UDFA class is pretty good. But let’s talk about this the draft. Okay. Um, you know, they’ve gone ahead now and we’ve got Chop coming back, we’ve got, um, Phillips coming back, we’ve got Chub coming back, we got Zack Cer coming back, they brought back Bonito Jones. Um, Mo Kamar second year. Are we gonna see Grayson Murphy maybe this year? You know what I mean? One of the, you know, highest pressure rate in his draft class when he came out and we put him on the back burner and Quinn Bell on the minimum as well. Yeah. You know, I kind of purposely left him out after everyone hyped him up last year and then we got what we got. Anyways, um, now they’ve added Kenneth Grant to that front. Let me ask you this. Kenneth Grant, absolute monster. wins with his athleticism, his raw power, his length, and yet, you know, just kind of like Chop, he’s still got a pass rush game plan and a bag of chips tricks that still need to be refined a little bit. Good old Anthony Weaver is going to help him with that. Do you see a world where similar to kind of the Rams last year, Alf, where the Dolphins could have the perfect blend of veterans as well as youth and we could potentially have one of, if not the best defensive front in the NFL this year, especially in the AFC. Yeah, I could see I could see that happening for them. That’s the plan. Like, it’s obvious that was the plan, right? Yeah. And what I like about these things is when you say things on Twitter and you say things on your podcast and then they happen, they can’t accuse you of being like a a Johnny come lately and, you know, and just, you know, blowing sunshine up people’s asses. Like, nobody can accuse me of that cuz I said right before the draft, they’re going to have to spend the entire draft essentially on defensive players and they’re going to need at least three interior defensive linemen. And they kind of hit on the guys that I wanted. Like my my DT1 was Kenneth Grant. Like that’s who I wanted. And when people just dismiss him as a nose tackle, he’s not a nose tackle. He’s a three tech. He could play he could play everywhere along that defensive line. I think he’s going to be great in this system. I think he’s going to be a really, really good player. Uh you saw his snap counts go up every single year at Michigan. He’s an ascending player and you’re getting him at just the right time and he’s young, so you get to bring him into your system. You get to develop him. I think he’s going to be a perfect compliment next to to Zack Cer. And and I love Jordan Phillips. I think Jordan Phillips, man, he’s that he’s going to be that consumate zero. Like he’s a guy that you can play at zero and one shade and he’s going to pay dividends. Guy’s strong as hell. like he’s going to come in at 20 years old cuz he’s going to turn 21 during the season I believe, right? He’s going to turn 21 during the season and he’s going to come in already as probably the squat rank champion cuz I know he squats 665 pounds. Yeah. Yeah. It’s crazy. Okay. Guy strong as hell. All right. Uh somebody turned me on to these numbers. He does he did a 365 pound overhead press. The world record is by Eddie Hall and it’s 465 pounds. So everybody will say, “Oh, it’s 100 more pounds.” Yeah, but Eddie Hall did it at 350 pounds. This guy did it. Jordan Phillips did it at 290 pounds. Yeah, he’s a monster. Okay. So, we’re going to have a guy who’s going to be hard to displace. All right. So, I think that they’ve done they’ve done wonders with the interior defensive line. The only concern again is that that secondary, you know, they’re trading one off for the other. So, they’re banking on the health of their edge players, and that’s what’s going to have to pan out for them. If that doesn’t pan out for them, I could see issues developing. But one thing that is for sure is, you know, you like to you never like to say that one side of the ball or another side of the ball is complete and you’re set and you’re stacked because you never really are because you just you’re always and I mean every team is always one or two injuries away from scrambling. All right. But I think the Dolphins are pretty set on the offensive side of the ball. Uh and they’re just doing tradeoffs on defense right now. And to be honest with you, I’m I’m pretty excited about that. I’m pretty excited where they are right now with their roster. Yeah, like with Kenneth Grant, you know, I mean, especially go a, you know, you see a lot of plays. I mean, that every that play everyone loves against Penn State, um, where he where he, you know, hunted down the running back. I mean, that was came from the four eye. That didn’t even come from like a zero spot. You know what I mean? Like I think and I I hate the South Florida media is really, you know, it’s because these guys don’t watch film or don’t know how to evaluate players. They just they see his weight and they automatically pigeon hole him as a nose tech without realizing. Like bro, like think of how wide you can play him out in if you want to go in a wide nine alignment, you know, because of that athleticism. I mean, this guy could flex out to a five tech. If you could stand up Deion Walker and rush him off the edge, what do you think you could do with a guy like Kenneth Grant? You know, I think the ceiling is higher than Wilkins. I think he’s a better athlete than Wilkins. Um, you know, and what to me what I always remind people and you know, cuz I don’t care what anyone says, brother. You know that Kenneth Grant to Dolphins Train started on this channel in October, November last year with me and Neil and it was always about what this the scary thing about him that not enough people talk about is this man was winning with his raw traits just as much as Mason Graham as a pass rusher and Mason Graham is more of a finished product. Like the ceiling is freaking so high for this kid. And man, this is why, you know, if things do go sideways with McDaniel, I want to keep Weaver here because I want to, man, you get this kid under Weaver for give me Weaver for two more years. And I know we’re only going to get one. If you could give me Weaver for two more years and Kenneth Grant under him, everyone thought what he did with Matabuki was special. You know what he’s going to do with Kenneth Grant, man? like Kenneth Grant, like Will Johnson, you know, ha and like Travis H Travis Hunter that these are guys who had the ceiling where they could be the best player in the draft when this is all said and done, you know, and I think I I despise, you know, and there’s certain people out in the South Florida media that pigeon hole him as a nose tackle. I think that does him a big injustice. And you mentioned the snap count. Last year was the first year he had over 500 snaps. That’s another thing. people were pigeonholding him as only a two down player when it’s like no if you watch his ascent at Michigan he’s becoming the threeown player but he needed the reps and he needed the development to grow into it I mean you’re talking about a guy when he was when he was 360 this guy was clocked running 18.75 miles per hour at 360 lbs man like we’re talking like what he does to those Michigan plo stairs those famous plyo stairs over there like things of legend legend over here with Kenneth Grant. We are talking about dude number three on the athletic freak list getting heading into college last the college season last year. Like we’re talking about like a special special freaking player and just like Travis Hunter. What doesn’t get talked about enough is Kenneth Grant has it up here too. He’s a very very very intelligent player. And then you talk about Jordan Phillips, man. And what’s crazy about Jordan Phillips’s trajectory is he kind of went the opposite way. He went from Tennessee to Maryland when usually guys go from Maryland to Tennessee, right? And 20 years old. And he’s a guy where you got to watch the tape. You know, people are going to statline watch him and be like, “Oh, the production blah blah blah.” But no, you got to watch the tape. You got to see the upside. And then when you find out what they were doing with him at um the what was it? The Shrine Bowl, right? At the East West Shrine Bowl. When you find out what they were doing with him when they got their hands on him, like I think he’s another kid where people looked at Chop and looked at his production and kind of you remember it a lot of people in this fan base, media and fans included, were taking a big steaming, you know what on that draft pick because they were just stat watching, right? And what you got to see that’s the thing and this is why bro this is why I don’t think fans get and this is why they need to watch people like me or you or listen to people like me or you or Dougley or whatever. You know the problem with the South Florida media, you know, or Ryder McConville or Kyle Krabs, those are people I’ll recommend. The problem with the South Florida media, bro, is they know where to put the period and the question mark, but they don’t know how to evaluate film. They don’t know how to. And one of the big parts of evaluations is what? Projection, right? So, when you got no production, you got to be able to project Jordan Phillips out. These guys can’t project a kid like that out. They just look at the, you know, like look at you talked about you love the trade of Savanaya. Have you heard some of the stance, some of the Oh, well, if Tate Ratlitch is better, then oh, this is a bust because you didn’t take a swing at 98 with that 98 pick. Even though the trade value charts, right, whether the Rich Hill or the Jimmy Johnson trade value chart, one of them, right, we win the trade by one point, the other one we lose by three points. What does that tell you? It’s a fair trade. But they’ll still say, oh, and you know why? Because they can’t project out. because they can’t project out. And here’s another thing, okay, bro? Think about this. All these people who hate on the trade up for Savian Naya Alf. Okay, dude. We would have had to trade up for 98. If you wanted one of those corners, you had to trade up into the 70s, right? Like, what are you going to sit? Why sit there and double up on DT? You would have traded back anyways if you were going to double up on DT. Now, apparently they traded back, from what I understand, they traded back at from 116 because of the run on Walker, Ty Robinson, as well as CJ West right before um they picked at 116. But I I digress, bro. Like, have you seen these people that are not happy with the Jonas of Ianiah trade? And what are your thoughts on that? Cuz I think it’s absolutely ludicrous. You know, you know, that’s another bro, that’s another bandwagon I started, man. The Jonas of Ianiah, man. taking the Barry Harowitz pat back on that. But are do you kind of look at these fans that are like, “Yo, all of you that don’t like to trade, y’all were the same ones saying you wanted interior help.” Like it’s just so oxymoron. What’s going on with that situation? What’s your thoughts on the Savvian pick? And what do you say to fans that don’t like the fact that we traded the 98th pick and missed out on another swing on a prospect? Look, you can accuse Chris Greer of a lot of things and I have, okay? And you could be unhappy with Chris Greer. You could want him replaced and and and I’ve said I’ve wanted him replaced because I wanted new eyes on this team. Yeah. Uh but one thing you can’t accuse him of is is losing trades cuz he does not lose trades. Like he’s going to get good value for whatever he he targets. And his intel on on this was spoton. because Greg Baddard reported the Patriots were going to take Jonah Savan. Yeah. Okay. And not only that, the Raiders were debating taking him right there with that pick. Anyway, so the Dolphins, this is what I liked about it, they identified a guy. They said, “We want this guy and we want this guy to start. He’s a starter for us.” Yeah. In year one, we are not going to let anybody take him from us and we’re not going to settle. we’re going to go get that guy. And then they even replaced the the the draft pick by making a trade later on in the in the draft. So, I thought that was really really good work. Now, as far as the player, I’ve seen the film. I like the film. Uh we just got to see him against, you know, NFL level competition and in pads, you know. Yeah. And he’s gonna get a work he’s gonna get a workout because guess what? He’s gonna have to go up against the likes of Zack Celler and and Kenneth Grant. So, we’re we’re get to see plenty of him going forward. Uh, in my opinion, I think he’s going to play right guard. Okay. Yeah. It’s going to be a simpler position for him to play right away. And I think that that’s where he’s going to settle. And I think they’re going to play James Daniels at left guard. Essentially, you’re going to have Austin Jackson babysitting Jonas Savana. And then you’re going to have James Daniels babysitting Patrick Paul. Patrick Paul. Yeah. So, I think that’s going to work out for them going forward. Uh my only concern on that offensive line is look uh I’m not a fan of Liamberg, but fine, he’s on the roster. Yeah, in my opinion, he should be OG5 or at best OG4. And right now, I think they have him as OG3 and that’s a problem. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I agree 110%. And and there’s a way there’s a way you could remedy that. Okay. Um, look, Will Hernandez, I don’t think is going to take a contract from the Dolphins because he’s going to tell you, “No, I’m a starter.” Yeah. And Brandon Sherf, he’s been a starter and he hasn’t missed I think he’s missed like six snaps in three years. Okay. So, Brandon Sheriff is going to tell you, “Move on.” Yeah. I But Daniel Brunkill, okay, is a guy you could bring in. He could play center. He could play guard. He could play tackle. He’s played all five positions. And last year, he has really good tape at guard. You could bring him in and that will make me feel pretty good about what you have on the interior offense. Is Cody White still out there? I believe he is still out there as well because he can play guard or center too. That’s another one where I’d be like, okay, like yeah, cuz I agree with you. But it’s going to have to take one of those two guys. It’s going to have to take somebody that’s willing to be OG. You know what I mean? Or else we’re hoping on a guy like Josh PBY having an Andrew Meer like, you know, preeason and you know how Andrew Meyer locked in the backup center as a UDFA. We’re hoping Josh PBY can show some of his athleticism and jump one of these guys because I’m right there with you. Like, so let’s keep talking with the draft elf. The Okay, so you know me, I’m a college football fan. I don’t really claim a team, but if I have to claim a team, it’s the Florida Gator because of the the Chris Leak and the Tim Tibo years really had me captivated. But I I I don’t really claim a team. Like I’m a college football fan, you know, and that’s just because I evaluate mainly, right? So, I want to get your thoughts. I’m not a huge fan of the Jason Marshall pick. Yeah, I understand he was a five-star recruit coming out. I thought he was a failed project at Florida. Um, you know, I I just, you know, I like I’m not a huge fan of the Dante Trader pick, but I like Dante Trader. I think he offers you special teams upside that I don’t think you’re going to get from Jason Marshall. I thought they were better. You know, if you’re going to bet on the athleticism, I would have drafted Zah Frasier out of UDSA UTSA and because he has the ball hawking upside, you know, I thought I think Quincy Riley was might still build on the board, too. I don’t know. But there I know there were he got taken right before that’s they had on their board. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was but I know there were a couple and there was a couple good safety options on the board. But also, I mean, we’re talking about Liam Iikenberg and this is what’s bringing me up about this. Like Jackson Slater was still on the board. There were still some good double up on guard options there too. What are your thoughts on the Jason Marshall and the Dante Trader pick? Uh Dante Trader has good has good tape in my estimation and he’s a guy that can be a contributor. Yeah. And I think he’ll be a contributor in year one as a special teamer and I think he’ll be a good one. Okay. Jason Marshall is just not a guy. Look, look, I did really like the the second half of the draft, but I liked uh and people I first of all, I hate when people give grades for drafts because none of us really know, okay? Like you could get you could give a grade. You could kind of give a grade at the end of the season, but really it’s going to take about two years and then you could give a legit grade for an entire draft. But I gave this draft a C and people were like, “Wait a minute, so you hated the draft?” I’m like, “No, I I gave an A+ for the first three picks and the trade. But I didn’t like the second half of their draft. Like the only guy that I really like in the second half of their draft, I kind of like Olli Gordon a little bit because I see the vision, you know. But I do like Zeke Bigggers. Okay. But Jason Marshall, he’s one-dimensional. Uh he’s, you know, there’s some tape to suggest he’s kind of grabby. So he could be kind of good in the middle of the field, closed man system, press man system. So, I never like I and I, you know, I’ve I’ve always said this, okay? Cuz one of my favorite pastimes is evaluating quarterbacks. And I think I have a decent record in that regard. I don’t like guys that are onedimensional in college as far as quarterbacks. If they do one thing in college, usually when you get to the NFL, it never works that way. You never just bring them in and say, “Look, you’re only going to do the thing you did in college, so therefore you’re going to be great with us.” Yeah. It never works that way, okay? Because in the NFL, DC’s need the diversity in play call. So, they’re going to have to call different things. You’re going to have to be able to play several coverages. And man, I don’t know if you’ve seen him, and I’m pretty sure you have, you’ve watched this film, if you watch Jason Marshall play even quarters. It’s like the [ __ ] moon to him, man. Okay? Like, like, you know, it’s you might as well ask him to build a rocket ship. Like, he just doesn’t know how to do it, you know? So the the thing for Jason Marshall is man if if we just stick them to bump man or match man middle of the field clothes were golden. Yeah. You know who that reminds me of? Do you remember Cordrea Tankersley? Yes. Yes. That’s who he was. But what happened to Cordera Tankersley? He hat right. Yeah. But he would flash in games where they would play 65 snaps on defense and 60 of them were in man. Yeah. So he was in his element, you know, he was in his element. He was playing well in his element. But as soon as you have that one game where you call 20 snaps of zone, you call some quarters or you call some cover three or even cover seven and you have them roll up and that guy’s in the moon because that guy is rolling up 15 yards deep instead of rolling up eight yards and now they’re just dumping it off to the running back and he’s just stepping out of bounds with eight yard gains over and over again in front of your quarterback because your quarterback’s too stupid to roll up at 15 instead of eight. I fear that that’s who they have in Jason Marshall. You know, it doesn’t. But the good news is that they have so many guys in front of him that maybe we’re never going to see that and he’s going to have time to develop. But Alf, doesn’t that scream UDFA? Like what are we doing here? Like what are we doing? It does. It does. Yeah. You know what it is? A guy that I really like a guy I really like last year was Isaiah Johnson. Man, that guy is physical. Okay. Especially in the red zone. Like he’s a guy who’s physical, especially at the catch point, but he’s onedimensional. Like Isaiah Johnson is basically a short zone corner. That’s what he what he is. Although he’s 6’3, but he’s a short zone, meaning that he plays 10 yards from the line of scrimmage and nothing else. You know what I mean? So yeah, that’s my fear with Jason Marshall. I didn’t like the second half of their draft and that’s why I gave it a C overall. But, you know, I don’t want to really gloss over the fact that I do give their first three picks and that trade an A+. I do I do give that. Um, all right. So, you are not a fan. Okay. So, let’s get into um Olly Gordon. Now, you know, he’s different in the sense of he’s much more north south than the East West they’re used to. Um 2023 7th and Heisman voting. 2024, the Oklahoma State offensive line goes to the absolute gutter and so does his game a little bit. Um, great blocker. What are your thoughts on the Olly Gordon edition and you mentioned you see the vision? Yeah, I see the vision and I think the vision of this offseason is to try to get this team better in 11 personnel. Uh, start moving away a little bit away away from 21 personnel and into 11 personnel and they want this team to be better in 11 personnel. There’s many ways you could do that. Okay? And some would say, “Oh, you want to be better at 11 personnel, go get a really good wide receiver three.” Well, that’s part of it, but it’s it’s a tiny tiny part of it. You got to get better at at the your guard positions because if you’re an 11 personnel, you’re going to face a lot lighter box and more lighter boxes and you have to be able to run inside. You’re going to have to be able to run inside zone. So, I could see the vision. They got two new guards. They had Ollie Gordon who’s essentially going to be kind of that one-dimensional player. You got Alexander Madison who is also kind of onedimensional. Uh my only issue with Wally Gordon is that in, you know, the the bones of this team are an outside zone running team, right? And he’s just not a guy that can get to landmarks like other guys can on this team. He’s just not fast enough, you know? But if they are going to stick to that 11 personnel, you know, this new 11 personnel evolution for this team, they want to play more of it, they want to be better at it, then he’s going to pay a lot of dividends because he’s going to be good in pass pro, which is you need your running back to be really good in 11 personnel in pass pro and he’s going to be a good inside zone runner and you’re going to need that in 11 personnel as well. Yeah. You know, then that also begs the question, who’s going to be the the tight end? And maybe that’s why Farrell Brown is here is to be the inline tight end in 11 personnel. So because he’s pretty decent in pass pro. So Ali Gordon, I see the vision. You know, there are other guys that I kind of liked. Uh a lot of the guys that I like kind of went for UDFAs. One guy that I really like was um Nate Carter from Michigan State and he went to Atlanta as a UDFA. Uh he’s a basically a Raheem Moer clone, you know, but they didn’t want a a Raheem Moster clone, you know. Nate, you know, Nate Carter ran, I think, a 438 at his proday, so he’s fast. He’s 5’10”, 205 pounds. Who does that sound like? You know what I mean? That’s essentially Raheem Mostard. They didn’t want that. They wanted a bruiser. They wanted a guy to run inside zone with. And Ollie Gordon is is the guy who who fits for that. Are you shocked they passed him Damen Martinez? I am because if you wanted Ali Gordon, man, look, I’ve said this before, Damen Martinez is a guy that is absolutely great at absolutely everything except hitting home runs. Okay? And even then in the bowl game, he took 180 yards. All right? And then he ran at the combine. He wasn’t That’s not slow. Okay? This is a 230lb man. I understand that he showed up at 217 lbs so he could run a faster 40 time, but his 40 times weren’t slow by any stretch of the imagination, but Damen Martinez, man, that guy’s a dog inside. He’s almost uh I think my partner said it best in his in his draft book. He said that Damen Martinez uh runs the ball like he’s offended that you’re trying to tackle him. You know, he is tough as nails. He can catch the ball. He can He’s good in pass pro. He’s excellent in inside zone. You know, he’s essentially what they want Olli Gordon to be, but their evaluation was different than mine, and they liked Oi Gordon best. So, I’ll defer to them. And that’s one that’s one that I will defer to them because, you know, they’re the offensive coaches that decided that this is the guy that’s going to fit our system. He’s going to fit it better. And, you know, I’ll defer to them on that on that one in particular. Where are you at with the Quinners pick? Oh, I absolutely hate it. Like there’s no like I don’t see there’s not one redeeming factor that I saw on film with Quenurs going back really two seasons. Okay. Uh Texas for two years has been one of the most talented teams. I told you uh my evaluation of Jackson Dart got hurt. Like in the preseason I had Jackson Dart as QB1 and not only QB1 but I had him as the first overall pick and the Heisman winner going into the season and I bet both. Okay. So I put in a bet for him to win the Heisman. put in a bet for him to be the first overall pick in the NFL draft before the season started and I softened my evaluation on him because of what miss produced in the season. I thought most of it was stuff that he could have driven, right? Same thing with Quinners except Jackson Dart has much better tape. So Quinn Eurs I thought he was a UDFA type. I would have taken damn near I would have taken Kord. I would have taken Will Howard, you know, of course I would have taken [ __ ] Sanders in in the fifth round for God’s sake. Of course I would have. You know, I would even considered him in the third. But um yeah, Quinn Ers, I just don’t see the vision with him, but they do. And it’s really Mike McDaniel. It’s another Mike McDaniel project. Uh the last one didn’t work out with Skyler Thompson. We’ll see how this one works out. We’re gonna get a a pretty good long look at him in training camp because QB3 in training camp gets to to play on the scout team and he gets essentially equal reps to QB2. So, and especially going into the games, there’s going to be good weeks because going into the games in the preeason, QB1, you know, the first team offense, especially for the first preseason game, the first team offense gets damn near zero reps that week. So, you’re going to get to see QB2 and QB3 take all the reps for an entire week and you’re going to get to evaluate Quinn Yurs in practice for an entire week. I can’t wait for that week. I want to see it because that’s how I made my determination on Skyler Thompson. I was like, “This guy cannot play.” Let me let me ask you. Let me ask you this. How, bro? How can you hate a seventh round pick? It’s a glorified UDFA. Like, you can’t hate these picks, though. Like, yeah. The only way to look at it and hate on it is you essentially passed up on all the other guys, you know, at 231, what are you really passing on? Yeah. Yeah. There almost nothing there really, you know. I mean, let’s go back. I mean, he was pretty much considered a consensus, you know, top 10 pick heading into the season. The problem with him is kind of like what happened with Shadur. He plateaued, right? Everyone thought he was going to build off 2023 and both of the players plateaued and that was also a big problem with their evaluation. Now, here’s the thing. The vision is quite clear because he can attack the short to intermediate level in the middle of the field. That’s where he gets his best drive and velocity. Now, I think what’s happened is the injuries have stacked up and taken something off of his game, especially when you start getting into the deep ball. like he puts too much air under those balls, he doesn’t drive them because he’s lost the drive with his injuries a little bit. Man, I I see the vision. I do think he’s going to be better than Skyler Thompson because I think when you’re looking at what’s going to be asked in this version of our West Coast offense, I think he kind of fits what what what they’re going to ask. Like just be efficient from the short to intermediate level. If the deep shot opens up, you know, try and take it. But I think he’s going to be like I I’ll tell you right now, bro, I trust him more in structure from what I saw in Texas. And I I don’t trust Zach Wilson in structure. Zach Wilson since BYU, all of the best stuff has come out of structure. And I keep telling people and people are going to eventually I think we’re going to see it this offseason. People are going to people going to see what I’m talking about. Shawn Payeyton told us without telling us what the deal was. All right. They made Jared Stdum, who has far less arm talent, far less athleticism. They made him the highest paid backup quarterback in the NFL for the second year in a row. And let Zach Wilson with the bigger arm, with the more athleticism, with the better overall traits walk. And what is Shawn Peyton notorious for hating in his quarterbacks? Why did he despise Russell Wilson? Because they weren’t good enough and he couldn’t trust them to be efficient in structure. And I think that’s what the issue with Zach Wilson is going to be. Now, is Quinn gonna live up to it? I don’t know. But, I mean, he’s a smart kid. And I think when you’re looking for what’s asked from an instructor standpoint in this offense, I think he’s a better fit than Zach Wilson. I honestly do. Now, he needs something cleaned up. I don’t know if you watched that Gruden’s quarterback camp. Yeah. But he’s redoing all of his footwork. That was the he talked about how teams told him you need to clean up and shad the same thing. Shadur and him had the same thing. You need to clean up the footwork both of you big time. You know what I mean? So, and I don’t know, man. You know, I I don’t think he’s the guy. They were touting him coming out of high school into Ohio State and Texas, but he should have been. I think he was a fifth round pick. You know, I I I think Shadore wasn’t a fifth round pick. I think Shadur was, you know, if Dylan Gabriel’s going into the third, then Shidor is a third round pick by that standard. You know what I mean? I I don’t know, man. I I don’t hate the pick. I I know they’ve been infatuated with him since Xavier Worthy’s proday as well, too, right? Um so, you know, I I don’t I’m not expecting a savior. All I want is, bro, just give me a competent backup. We haven’t had one since two has been here. Everyone ends up being a mitigated disaster sooner or later. You know what I mean? You know, we all Yeah. But look, I I think we’re back to hoping and praying to be honest with you. Okay. That’s what everyone is. We’re hoping and praying Zach Wilson can show us he can play in structure. Yeah. The thing about Zach Wilson is that they’re doing that thing again where they’re doing that, you know, Captain Savo thing where, you know, I can fix him. You know what I’m saying? And Mike McDaniel’s like, man, he has it all. He has the arm strength. He has the footwork when he could when when I could just essentially, you know, the problem is that you can’t plug him into anything and have Mike McDaniel with a controller on the sideline. Yeah. He’s going to do what Zach Wilson does when the bullets start flying. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. You know what it feels like, Alf? It feels like his love for Trey Lance all over again. Remember, he was the one that, you know, Shanahan wanted M. Jones and McDaniel was the one that basically convinced that room, yo, Trey Lance is the guy with all those traits. It feels like although to be fair to be fair I remember when those debates were raging and I was like I don’t see the vision in M Jones at all. I think he’s bad. Yeah. Both ended up being bad and they both ended up being terrible. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That draft class wasn’t very good. Let’s be honest, right? Like No. You know, so um I I see the vision, but bro, like here’s my problem, you know? Like we can’t even draft kids anymore. And you got people on social media, oh, he’s going to take to his spot. And I keep telling these people, no, none of these kids are going to take to a spot, man. You got a whole, you know what expectation should be? Year one, make the team, show us something. Year two, go take that quarterback two job. That should be your expectation for what you’re drafting. Not, oh, this, like you said, captain save a hoe. No, these guys aren’t going to be a savior, you know, right? Like everyone thinks, “Oh, well, you know, Tom Brady and Brock Party were found that late. Alf, blah blah.” Oh, come on, bro. Two outliers in like 50 years of the draft. Like, people got to remember, you know, we would have never heard of Brock Perie in a million years if the Dolphins didn’t knock out Jimmy Garopppolo. That’s true. Okay. If Jaylen Phillips doesn’t hit Jimmy Garopppolo and Jimmy Garopppolo breaks his ankle. Yeah. If that doesn’t happen in that game, first of all, we probably win. Okay. Yeah, we do. Yeah, we do. We probably win. Yeah. But second of all, we never hear from Brock Party ever. Jimmy G. Yeah. Because if you remember that game, I believe they had CJ Bethard on that team. They did. Okay. And he was also injured. Brock Pury got elevated for that game. Yeah. As the backup quarterback. So there was also a world where the backup would have been CJ Beth coming into the game against us instead of Brock Party. So like if people are hoping and wishing, oh no, he he could be QB1 eventually. No, it does those evaluations stick. Okay. And he was evaluated as a UDFA seventh round pick. Yeah. And that’s how he was he that’s how he was drafted. He was drafted as a seventh round pick. They didn’t want to compete for him as a UDFA. So they used a draft pick on him. That’s his evaluation. He’s not being brought in to to be the savior. He’s not being brought in to compete with Tuang Tongabalawa. Tuna Baloa is a legit top 10 quarterback in the NFL, you know. Uh but it’s now year six of the total disrespect of of crazy. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. Al I don’t I don’t get it, man. like you know and then you know you just try to sit here and the expectations they put on these players and you just try to be logical and just you know funny enough spit some reason to these people and just try to get through to them like yo no the evaluations uh the evaluation for Tuangoa is completely lost okay it’s it’s lost it’s gone uh there is no objectivity anymore like I got into this in the regular season with everybody say oh he was terrible in the first half against the Packers and that’s why they lost First of all, how terrible can you be when you go 37 for 46 for 365 yards and two touchdowns and you have no turnovers and a 114 quarterback rating. So, how terrible could you have been in the first half? Go watch that game in the first half. He missed on one pass. And that one pass they’re putting on the entire first half on him. Was it in the third quarter? Didn’t he have us um remember it came down to bad play calling, right? Cuz weren’t we didn’t he have us in the red zone? We and he was going to bring us he was either going to bring us to tie the game or within one score and then didn’t McDaniel have a bunch of poor play calling and then we he tried to call he tried to call a a tunnel screen and then he ran the ball three times three straight and we didn’t end up scoring on the drive right and McDaniel is the one who and remind me were we about to tie the game or bring it into one within one score. It was one of the two be inside of one score. Yeah. And and it was because of two like Yeah, bro. Dude, listen. Here’s the thing, dude. Like listen. Okay, cuz I know you’re on the TUA bandwagon. You know, you were driving the train just like I was on YouTube. You were driving it through the Spotify airwaves with the three yards per carry guys before the draft. Dude, they’ll try to tell us, Alf, that we were wrong about Tua. This is a guy who’s first Pro Bowl quarterback for the Miami Dolphins in 30 plus years. Led the league in passing yards, passer rating, completion percentage. And they try to tell us that we were wrong and that he sucks and that he’s bad. And they try to actually hold it like, you know, they won’t talk about how I was right about Pane Suel. They won’t talk about how you were right about a player. They’ll always come back to, oh, Tua, you are wrong about Tua, he sucks. When it’s like, dude, he’s done things. no Dolphins quarterback’s done in 30 plus years. But y’all will hold a guy like Chad Pennington in 2008 to this high standard because we won the division when he didn’t even throw for 20 touchdowns. And let’s be honest, if it wasn’t for Ronnie Brown, the Wildcat, and Tom Brady getting hurt, do we even win the division with Chad Pennington? So, please, you know, it’s just the disrespect and how they minimize to his accomplishments is absolutely ludicrous. And it’s one thing to not come from our fan base, but it’s crazy to me, Alf, when it does come from our fan base. I’m gonna be honest with you. Oh, and it comes from our fan base the whole time. And and what what what makes me laugh is that they think they’re the majority. And there’s evidence to suggest that they’re the extreme minority. Minority. Yeah. It’s like 15% of the entire fan base that hates that hates Tongalo. Like 15%. And there’s evidence, real evidence. I’m talking about polls that large networks have produced to get this information. Why do you think that they keep talking about Kongalo out of nowhere? Yeah. It’s because they it drives clicks and it gets them views because they know that he’s popular down here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But uh you know it also doesn’t help you know what also helps is that we’re so right about Justin Herbert every at every single turn. You know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I I I’ll never forget right before that playoff game, everybody took to Twitter and then they disappeared. Remember, everybody took to Twitter and said, “Watch watch how he plays against the Texans and compare it to the way Tua played against the Texans three weeks ago, right?” Yeah. Yeah. Well, how many picks did he throw? Yeah. Didn’t y’all learn your lesson against the Jags? Didn’t you learn your lesson with his playoff game against the Jags? Don’t bet on that horse, you know. Now Justin Herbert is a special case and that’s who Tua will be forever compared to agree. I think the the comparison has been favorable for Tua so far. His only issue is his health and that’s that’s that’s the main issue right now and that’s why I think they got to start you know preparing something for at least two years from now. So that’s why I have advocated for next year they should be in that quarterback market in the draft because it’s going to be a great class coming up. Lenor Sellers if he takes that next step. Oh y baby. Although I think he might be out of reach because and I think Tua will put him out of reach because if Tua is healthy, they won’t have a chance at all to get sellers or Nusmeer or Aller if they take the next step too. So it’s going to be Anyways, u let the people know where they can find you and what you got going on Alf. Well, if you want to listen to us, man, it’s pretty simple.
