Miami Dolphins & Tua Tagovailoa Haters Are In Shambles…

Miami Dolphins & Tua Tagovailoa Haters Are In Shambles…

The NFL dropped their top 100 players list, at least started to. And once again, for the third year in a row, Tua Tongaloa makes that list despite missing six games due to injury. The Tua haters and the Miami Dolphins pessimists are in absolute shambles. I love it. We’re going to discuss it and we’re going to kill their narratives. All right. Also, I got to go over what I think the Miami Dolphins still have to take care of before we get to training camp in just a few weeks. So, do me the favor, smash the like button, subscribe if you are new. Let’s get into this one. The pressure. You have got to be kidding me. touch. Beautiful day to be a dolphin dance. Let’s go. What is good Finn nation? What’s good? It’s your boy Reasonz, and we are back here for another one. Appreciate all y’all coming through for this Sunday matinea.

Appreciate all of y’all for taking some time out to come through, hang out, and listen to me talk about the Miami Dolphins. All right. Um, a couple things we’re going to go over before we get into everything today. Number one, just an update. If you’ll remember the last year that uh last year, sorry, around this time, I dropped my offensive preview as well as my defensive and special teams preview heading into training camp um like calendar year next weekend and I’m going to do the same again. So, I’m going to drop my offensive preview along with prospect profiles of Jonah Savania and Olly Gordon. And then I’m going to drop that on either Saturday or Sunday next week. And then the week after, right before the veterans report to training camp, we are going to preview defense and special teams and I will have prospect previews on Kenneth Grant and Dante Trader. And I may throw another one in there. So I’m planning either four to six, either going to have two prospect previews on each or three on each. So, that’ll include all 22. We do the prospect previews every year. That’ll include all 22 of the players, as well as a little mini scouting report, how they fit, their strengths, their weaknesses, and projections for the players themselves moving forward. And we’ll also preview the roster and the depth chart as I see it like we do every year. So, yeah, we’re getting close to training camp when the training camp videos are getting ready to start to drop for all of y’all. All right. So, that’ll be coming over the next two weekends.

All right, before we get into everything, too, you know, I got to take care of some house cleaning and talk about cleaning. Clean the World is the sponsor of today’s video. They work with over 8,300 hospitality partners to divert their soap bars and plastic amenities from landfills and recycle the collected soap into new bars. By doing so, clean the world helps reduce au pollution, save water, and decrease the carbon footprint of thousands of hotels globally while helping to improve the lives of women, children, and communities all over the world. Since it was established in 2009, Clean the World has distributed over 80 million bars of soap. And check it out, they provided an estimated 17 billion individual hand washes to those in need across the globe by recycling soap and other discarded hygiene products that usually would end up in landfills and as waste. Clean the world saves lives with items that like I said traditionally end up in landfills. You can donate or even volunteer to help clean the world’s cause at cleantheorld.org. That’s cleantheorld.org. I say it all the time. If you’re ever going to support one of my sponsors, make sure this is the one you support. All right. Now, a few things dolphin related. Firstly, who heard what happened to Rashad Jones? Like, who This is absolutely crazy. I don’t know if you guys have had a chance to hear about what happened, but Rashad Jones was scammed out of $2.58 million in a grand theft and money laundering scheme. His financial advisor is the one who had access to his personal bank account and with the help of a lady by the name of Oct Octavia Graham, they stole millions of dollars to pay off the the financial adviser’s name is Isaiah Williams. Millions of dollars to pay off his credit cards and also live a lavish lifestyle. talking about 1.58 million across 133 wire transfers from January 2022 to March 2024. Like that is crazy. We’re talking about first class airline tickets, hotels, nightclub and strip club tabs, car rentals, clothing, jewelry, legal fees, and child support. This guy’s paying his child support with Rashad Jones’s money. Oh my lord. Remember, he lost an additional 1.03 03 million between 2019 and September 2021. And they say this Octavia Graham helped launder money from Jones’s account. So Graham sent about 435,000 to Williams across 16 handwritten checks and another 184,000 over 88 zeal transfers. These guys are using zeal, man. Unbelievable. you know, like even now he made five 58 million over his 11 years in the NFL, but he made just over two million in his final season with the Dolphins. I mean, that’s basically more than what he made in his last year. And everyone knows the reason why I’m bringing this up, massive Rashad Jones fan. Always have been, always will be. You know, I know we like the Prime X years, but to me, Rashad Jones, he’s one of my favorite. You know, I got a soft spot for safeties. I don’t know why. You know, I basically scouted Javon Holland as a fit ahead of the time and then we ended up drafting him and, you know, he ended up being one of my man crushes that was drafted to this team. I believe either eight or 10 of my man crushes who make my annual man crush list have been drafted to this team since I started my man crush list. Um, and he was one of those, Javon Holland. But Rashad Jones, man, that’s a player. There’s certain players I’m sad did we didn’t get playoff wins for. You know, Jason Taylor, you know, um we should have won more with Jason Taylor and Zack Thomas 110%. Rashad Jones falls under that category. You know, even still, Xavier Howard, I’m sad we never got him a playoff win. I’m actually more sad for defensive players than offensive players that we haven’t got playoff wins and I’m an offensive guy. So, it just tells you how much I respect some of these players as players. Now, Zavian Howard as a person, I I don’t know how you can respect what he’s done lately as a person, right? So, you know, sending those pictures to that woman’s child, etc., etc. But as a player, yeah, for sure. But, you know, Cam Wakeake is another one I wish we got, you know, wins for. I really do. But sad to see out of a player’s control, you know, we all, you know, you there’s been documentaries on it 30 for30s about professional athletes, you know, specifically NFL players not handling their money very well. And like look at, you know, sometimes it’s there’s not even their fault. They’re not even the ones at fault that are just like spending lavishly. You know, they got people just with their hands out taking money. They got people backdooring them to take money, you know. People like to be critical of athletes. And sure, I’m critical of certain athletes at times. There’s there’s no doubt about it. That’s why I try not to get personal because you don’t know what the what’s going on in these people’s lives. You really don’t. I try my hardest. I’m sure that you can find times where I have gotten personal, but I get personal a lot less than a lot of the other loud people in this community. And I just it’s because you don’t know what these people are going through, man. And you know money does not equate to complete and utter happiness. Now for people who don’t have money sure instant gratification, instant satisfaction, instant happiness, but eventually, you know, if you had money, you’ll eventually fall into the same rut a lot of these athletes do with everyone and their mother coming to you, oh, hey man, do you remember we played rep football together when we were 9 years old and we were best friends on that team? you know, you’ll have everyone out of the woodwork coming out. You have cousins you’ve never met before. All of a sudden, you got long lost brothers, you know, it’s crazy. So, man, crazy stuff. And you feel for Rashad Jones. And let’s stick with the Dolphins here for a sec. You’ll never believe this. I don’t know if you guys saw this. Oh my god. Chase Clayool has announced that he’s attempting an NFL comeback this off season. So he believes he can apparently contribute to any team as early as this fall. So he said that he tore a ligament and a tendon in his second toe and has been rehabbing, working out, and recovering every day for the past year. Chase Clayool, brother, you can rehab that toe all you want, man. You I’ve seen you run deep outs and turn them into horseshoes. All right. you your toe can be as healed as you know as it possibly can be 1,0%. If you can’t run a route, what good are you? All right, listen. Was Tua a good in that 2023 finale game where we lost to the Bills with the division on the line? No, he wasn’t good enough 110%. Threw two picks, but let’s be real here. One of those picks was on Chase Clayool. And what’s crazy is and we go back to Mike McDaniel’s terrible management at s times and and we talk about personnel management, right? We can go back to the failed red zone attempt against Green Bay last year that basically led it basically took us out of that game, right? Two is about to bring us within one score. And McDaniel decides to take all of our top weapons off off personnel-wise and he’s running a bunch of jabronies in the red zone. I mean, what are you doing? Same thing here. Clayool on that interception. The man was in for Tyreek Hill. You’re going to release you’re going to you are going to replace 42 speed with Chase Clayool, please. And you’re gonna think something’s good. Oh my god. Even if Tyreek Hill doesn’t run the crispest routes, the man’s going to get there because he’s so fast. So Stacy says Toby, honest, he’s not that good. That’s a good one. I like that. But I think it’s absolutely hilarious that this is that Chase Clayool thinks he’s going to come back and somehow work wonders at the next level. Good for him, though. I mean, good for him. He He thinks he’s got something left. Proud of you, bud. But you ain’t coming to Miami. We better not pick up that phone and make that call. Please God, let him go back to Buffalo. Let him go somewhere where he’s useless. All right. I ain’t trying to have no Chase Clayool around in Miami again after that disaster. Unbelievable stuff. Thank you, FMP. That’s this is one of my favorite hats actually here. I got to buy some new hats actually. It’s coming up. I just sent before Father’s Day, I sent my wife over a list of hats and she said, “Is this a hint?” She proceeded to buy me not a hat, but something else. But well, the kids and her proceeded to buy me something. You know, even when you get hints, you know, even when you give hints, but hey, as husbands, when we get hints, we better understand and decipher what it means right away and go get that. I get it. All right. So, um, we got a little bit more to discuss here. So, let’s get into things right now and let’s start off. All right, let me just tilt this. You see the tilt? You see the tilt? See the tilt? Let me fix that. All right. All right. See how I’m not tilting. It’s just It’s my I was just fixing my camera for a sec. All right. Let’s get into this. Tua. All right. Tua. Tua. Tua. Well, let me play the top 100 announcement. All right, let’s play this top 100 announcement cuz it’s absolutely hilarious. We’re going to eat this. I just read bishops. It says, “Eat the crow haters.” Yeah. Well, they’re going to have to eat this. So, let’s play this. Let’s roll this. And I got a lot to talk about because, man, I’ve been watching social media and it’s absolutely hilarious. So, let’s play this.
I’ve been around a lot of good quarterbacks, man. But you know his his his his ball just on another level.
Good timing.
I’ll meet y’all in the end zone now. Tua makes 91 on the end.
Let’s go put some points on that board. Let’s go. Tua end zone. Court Smith touchdown. What a throw. You cannot drop the ball. It’s just right there. It’s just right there every time. You know what I mean? The the spiral, the spin on the ball, the velocity that the ball comes out with. To the end zone. Got it. Smith. Touchdown. The Dolphins win. That’s a lot of people don’t understand. Like, you know, you run slant route and cuts, digs, like, you know, we make it look easy, but those are catches that you really got to focus on and key in on, you know what I mean? and really key the nose of the ball. Uh T’s got a knack of just getting it right there and it just fits your hands like a glove, man. To delivers. It’s Johnny Smith.
Oh, go N. Go N. Hold on to that ball. Talk about low over the middle. Smith taken out. Tacklers. Touchdown. Good job, M. Hey, if you don’t give two enough credit, you know how hard it is to throw to the final touch. You’re so small and fast. You got to be tagged. You look at his career so far, he’s only only gotten better in many areas of his game. Winding out going. He’s got one. Here he goes. It’s a fun race. Tua Tongoa led the NFL with a career-high completion percentage of 72.9. Fourth and goal to the end zone. Touchdown.
The way that system is around him, he’s getting he’s getting his guys the ball now. So, it’s really like see Hut pay balls in their hands now. Waldo and everybody else doing what they do.
Full acceleration touchdown. It is target practice for Tundoa. He’s a quick release quarterback, so he has ways to get the ball in his hands fast. No quarterback spent less average time with the ball in his hands between snap and the release of a pass. Full race driving 36. Tangaboa only averaged 4 1/2 yards on the ground per game, but few use their legs better to make something out of nothing.
Pocket in the pocket. My job is to have something in rhythm, but the plays, your guys’ job has been, let’s extend plays when there’s nothing there.
Yeah. Well, still play within the timing, but if it’s not there,
they could not tackle Tua. Tua gets away from two defenders to keep that play alive. And nice easy throw to Tyreek Hill. How about that? He’s one of one, man.
They go to Smith. He’s got it. Touchdown Dolphins. Let’s go. Let’s go. It’s my quarterback. All right. Now, first of all, the timing of Janu Smith being in there. I mean, feel bad for the guy, but you know, he’s going to have love for Tua when Tua produced Janu’s highest output at the tight end position. I mean, let’s be real here. Statistically, that output’s the best he ever had. It’s the number one output by a Dolphins tight end ever, too, thanks to Tua. All right? You know, it just goes to show you what a what a what a better weapon than Mike Cassiki ever was for all those people who were just Mike Cassiki fans through and through and wanted us to pay him all this money. Um, now I do a, you know, what Michael Pitman was saying. You know, people don’t give to enough credit. I mean, those guys are small and fast. Look at how accurate you have to be. Right now, a few things here, let’s get into this. All right, so with Tua making 91, obviously he dropped from 36 last year. So, let’s kill this narrative. I see people Oh, how are you celebrating that he dropped from 36 to 91? And well, first of all, it’s the third consecutive year he made the list. Have we had any quarterback making this list in a Dolphins uniform? We’ll get to the one that left the Dolphins and make the list in just a second here. Don’t worry, I’ll cover that and I’ll kill that whole narrative real quick. Don’t worry, we’ll cover that. But have we had a Dolphin quarterback make this list three years in a row? Because this list wasn’t around when Marino was. So remind me if you know remind me. All right, that’s number one. Number two, how many of us even considered him making this list after missing six games last year and with the way this season ended? How many of us even considered this? How many of us even thought, “Yeah, two is going to make the top.” I want you to think about this for a second. Really put top 100 into focus here for a minute. All right. If you had three players from every NFL team, that’s 96 players. And then you got to find four to round out that 100. Think about that for a second. Think about that. The NFL players are telling you he’s a top 100 player. They’ve told you this for three years in a row. And they’re also telling you he’s easily one of the best players on our team. But Mark Dog 8761352 on X who can’t watch film who’s nothing more than a casual doesn’t like Tua. So he must Mark dog must be right. Not guys who play the game. people in this community with platforms who’ve had agendas since before this kid was even drafted just because let’s be honest, some of them didn’t want me and Dolphin fan to be right. Others just didn’t like the kid. Well, news flash, me and Dolphin fan, our evaluation was right. All of you that said Josh Rosen was a franchise quarterback and Tua would never be a franchise quarterback, how are y’all feeling right now? But you’ll go out there and tell everyone how right you are. But you’ll y’all push Skyler Thompson. Y’all push Teddy Bridgewwater. Y’all push Jacobe Brassette. Y’all push Josh Ros. And did any of those guys make the top 100? Can someone remind me? You know, because when me and EM dolphin fan made our evaluation, it was based on the film. I’m not a doctor. And to all the people that said, “Well, I said he would get hurt.” No, no, no, no, no. I’ll kill that in a second, too. See, this is where the biggest lie of them all comes. Well, I said he wouldn’t be able to stay healthy. None of y’all, not one single person in this community, not one single person in the NFL content creator community predicted concussions would be to his issue. Y’all told us he would never recover from the hip injury. That’s what y’all told us. That because of the hip, he would never be the same and he would never be a franchise quarterback. Y’all said he would never lead the league in passing. Wrong. Y’all said he would never be a Pro Bowler. Wrong. And y’all stuck onto the hip. Don’t try to switch up and be history revisionist. None of y’all said he would have concussion issues. And if anyone tells you that, they’re a liar. And I dare that person to come up on stream with me and try to make that argument. Whomever they are. Okay. But the fact of the matter is this kid still made the top 100 by missing six games when none of us were even considering the top 100. To be honest with you, I totally forgot about it. I was locked in on like, let’s just have a good season here. And then this came out. I totally actually just forgot. I didn’t even think I didn’t even think this was coming anytime soon. So trying to discredit this kid now when he still sticks in the top 100, what does that tell you that even even by mi with missing six games when he was on the field, how good of a player was he? All right. like that that’s that’s just where we’re at here. So I you know I I just you know I I I think people need to give you know and remember he was ranked higher than Joe Burrow last year right Joe Burrow because people forget Tua coming off a healthy season where was he ranked 36th when he led the league in passing Joe Burrow was ranked 39th he was ranked ahead of Joe Burrow he was ranked ahead of Justin Herbert All right. So, people need to, you know, they need to put things in perspective here, man. Like, and remember, Joe Burrow has also dropped down rankings too due to injury and him coming off injured seasons. It’s not like this is it’s not like you get injured, come back and you move up the rankings. What world would we be living in with that? So that’s let’s get that out of the way. All right. Let now let’s that’s why people are pleasantly surprised he made the top 100 because he missed six games and yet here he is still making the top 100 list. And like I said, if you take three players from every NFL team, that’s 96 players plus four randoms you want to pick. That puts it in even further perspective. Now, the other narrative, this is what I have heard. All right. The top 100 hasn’t fully been released, Al when it they’re slowly releasing it, right? And Josh Williams makes a great great case. Tyreek Heru in the last San Francisco game with those three dot touchdowns last year. That’s even There you go. Now, what have I other heard? What’s what’s the what’s the instance we’re talking about here in terms of what people are comparing this to? People are trying to compare this. I I’m Dolphin fans who don’t like Tua are trying to compare this to Ryan Tanhill and you even got some saying Ryan Tanhill is better. Let me start this conversation off. If you think Ryan Tanhill is a better quarterback than to tongue Aaloa, you don’t know Ball. Period. End of story. Discussion over. Do you think Mike Wallace would have won it out with Tua or do you think Tua would have been hitting Mike Wallace in stride down the sideline because Tanahal had zero deep ball then? All right. I see people are trying to make this Tanahill thing. And what are they saying? They’re saying, “Well, Ryan Tanahill in the 2020 rankings, he was 68th and in the 2021 rankings, he was 83rd.” So, okay, that doesn’t sound like Ryan Tanhills made it to the top 40 like Tua, does it? In fact, with Tanahill’s 2020 ranking of 68, he’s still about 32 spots off of where Tua was in the 2020 in last year’s rankings, right? Coming off the 2023 season, the 2024 rankings. So, how is this even a discussion? All right, but let’s go further. You know, I got some points to make on this. All right. When Ryan Tanahill made the list the first year, all right, when he made the 2020 ranking, this was the highest ranking he was ever on the list at 68. So, it’s coming off the 2019 season. All right. Look at his offensive line. Look at his offensive line. Like just go take a look at his offensive line. Seriously, absolutely stacked. Jack Conklin was there. Ben Jones was there. All right. Yeah, this guy had a solid offensive line. Taylor Lewan was there, right? Taylor Lewan, Roger Saffold, Ben Jones, Jack Conklin, I’ll do you one better. You want to hear this? Check this out. The pass block win rate for them that year. Was fourth best in the NFL. 63% pass block win rate. For comparison, Tua in 2023 when he led the league in passing. All right, the Miami Dolphins had the 14th pass block win rate. And yeah, I love Devon Achan more than the next guy. You know, Man Crush, another guy who I was way out ahead of, but was he Derrick Henry in 2019? Give two of that offensive line and Derrick Henry from 2019 and two are getting higher than 36. You can and I’m not even getting into even more. Taj Sharp, Corey Davis, AJ Brown, people slept on how good Adam Humphre was out of the slot. Delaney Walker, remember how good Delaney Walker was of a tight end? And guess who? John Smith. The same guy who basically told you in that top 100 video we just played that Tua was the best play quarterback he’s played with in terms of throwing the ball. Guess what that enlist includes? Ryan Tanhill. People John Smith played with Ryan Tanhill. Who? Go ask John Smith. He’d rather catch footballs from to a tug of or Ryan Tanhill. This is the argument some people are making. Well, Ryan Tanahill made it. Let’s go even further. Let’s go even further. All right. Coming off his highest ranking, this guy threw 2742 yards in 2019. In 2020, he threw 3819. In 2021, he threw 3734. He hadn’t thrown for 4,000 yards since 2015 and 2014 though. Not even Well, Tua, where we at here? 4624 yards in 2023. Like I’ll do you one better. Check this out. You ready for this one? So the year Ryan Tanhill was ranked 68th, that’s the year that he threw 2742 yards. All right. He ended up playing he started 12 games for he played in 12 games. Tua played in 11 games last year. Yep. He missed six and he threw for more yards. He threw for 2,800 yards. Oh, and he had a 72.9 completion percentage. Compared to Ryan Tanahill, he had a 70.3, which actually was the best of his career as well. Just saying. So, Tua, less games, more yards than Ryan Tanhill’s best year ranking in the top 100. Discussion over. Good night. What are we talking about here? technically to his 91st ranking when you break down the numbers and include the injuries was more impressive than Ryan Tanhill. And also again I already went over it. Ryan Tanhill had Taylor Lewan, Jack Conklin, Ben Jones, etc. Well, this guy had Liam Iikenberg. This guy had Robert Jones, too. Had a revolving door at tackle between Armstead and Jackson’s injuries. This guy had Jackson Carmen out there. A guy who couldn’t crack a lineup anywhere else. All right. The two is out here asked to turn chicken hi t into chicken salad. Well, Ryan Tanahill was brought into a situation where they just needed more stability than what Marcus Mariota was offering because they had all the pieces on defense and they had the pieces on the offensive line. They had the running game. They had a young AJ Brown. They had a great tight end room between Delhani Walker and John Smith. It’s wild wild that people will try to discredit this when if you would have asked them two weeks ago is two are going to make the top 100, they all would have told you no. The same ones discrediting it would said no way he makes it. Now that he made it, oh, we got to scramble and find a way to save some face and keep our agendas rolling. Anyone who puts Ryan Tanahill and Tu and Tongalo in the same breath in terms of their play at the quarterback position does not know ball. Period. End of story. Over with it. I don’t know what else to tell you. So that’s all I got to say about that. That was real easy. That was real easy to kill those narratives. Thank you. And and man, I love doing that kind of stuff. It excites me. All right, so smash that like button. Subscribe if you are new. I got some other stuff I want to get into here. Let’s get into it. I got a little bit of a Miami Dolphins to-do list before training camp. Now, I had to adjust this because I was originally going to drop this before, you know, I was thinking about dropping this right before the John Smith and Jaylen Ramsay stuff, but hey, didn’t happen. So, all right. And let me just finishing the two of thoughts for a second. Just wait until Jonah and if James Daniels is healthy, that offensive line will cook, man. All right, let’s get into this. So, here’s my to-do list. I got five things the Dolphins need to do before training camp starts. Let me know in the chat what would be on your to-do list for the Miami Dolphins. What do you think they need to do and take care of before training camp starts in just under three weeks? Number five, please, for the love of God, ditch the culture talk. I don’t want to hear about it. You watching this video don’t want to hear about it. I don’t want to talk about it in videos anymore. I’m tired of this. Okay, you’ve moved off Jaylen Ramsay, a guy who was late to meetings like Tyreek Hill. All right, you’ve moved off of them. All right, I don’t want to hear it. We We are done talking about the culture. I don’t want to hear about it. I want to see it now. Prove it. Don’t talk about it. Go out there and show us. Show it. I don’t want to hear about this anymore. Quite frankly, I’m done. I’m tired of the culture talk. Just like I’m sure everyone in the chat, I got 400 people in the chat right now. I’m sure they’re all sick of it, too. Please. I’m good. Ditch the culture talk. It’s time to show and prove. It’s time to shut up, show, and prove. Show us you’ve changed the culture. Show us you’ve been successful at getting what toxicity you claim there was as much of it as you can out because you know you can sit here and say other guys are they’re financially locked into them so they can’t get rid of certain other toxicity in the locker room but you got rid of what you could and I’m not including Janu because Jonnu wasn’t toxic. So switch it let’s see what we got here. Show me. Number four, properly assess James Daniels’s rehab. Reason. What do you mean by that? Okay. Last year, you didn’t properly assess Isaiah Win’s rehab, did you? No, you didn’t. And we ended up having to go into the season with Robert Jones. I don’t want to go into the season with Liam Iikenberg if James Daniels is not ready. I don’t think anyone in the chat wants to go into that. I don’t think anyone watching this after the fact we’ve gone live. I don’t think any Dolphin fan, I don’t even think any Dolphin pessimist wants to see James Daniels replacement be Liam Mikeberg if James Daniels is not able to go in week one. And I don’t care what beat writer tries to tell me. Well, Liam Mikeberg’s our best backup right now. Well, then the standard must be pretty freaking low. And last time I went to training camp last year, I looked at myself and I looked at the people I was sitting with. I said, “Yo, what are these guys looking at over here that are writing these articles? I.e. Tanner Connor, etc., etc., that they were hyping us up.” And I was see disappearing. So, you better get a proper grip of where James Daniels is. Even if he’s going to miss one or two weeks to start the season off, go get Go get someone who’s sitting out there right now. Will Hernandez is still sitting out there. Go get someone who’s still sitting out there right now. And bring him in during training camp. I am not ready to sit here and watch Liamenberg again. We got too much on the line this year. Number three, you got to get Jonah Sevyaniah taken care of. Now, this is a leaguewide issue. All right, only a few second round picks have signed their deal. All right, and that’s where we’re at right now. So, you got to figure this out, right? Because the only ones that have signed so far are Carson Schwestinger, right? Carson Schwestingers has has signed um as well as uh the receiver from the Texans who went right ahead right ahead of us. All right. And that would be Jaden Higgins. You know, you got Quishon Judkins who went right ahead of Jonas of he went to the Browns and the Browns handed out fully guaranteed to Carson Wesinger. So, you know, he’s going to want fully guaranteed. Nick Manor is going to want fully guaranteed. Jonas of all this second round are trying to get fully guaranteed. That That’s where we’re at right now. And only a few have signed. It’s crazy cuz I mean what? 40 rookies are unsigned and 30 of them are second round picks. Think about that for a second. So you got to get that taken care of. We don’t need distractions. We need that young boy locked in and perfecting his craft. That’s what we need. We need Jonas of Ianiah locked in. We don’t need no distractions at all in the slightest. So, you need to sign and take care of Jonas of Ianiah. Number two, you need to extend Zack Cer. Another thing, do we want this as a distraction during training camp? We know he wants a new deal. We know if anyone deserves a new deal. Listen, you can sit here and say they made a mistake by giving Ramsay money. You can sit here and say they gave a mistake by giving Tyreek money due to Tua getting hurt last year. You can sit there and say they gave a mistake. They should have waited out and played out the fifth year with Tua and then paid him. You can say all that stuff, but you can’t sit there and say Zack Cer doesn’t deserve a new deal. You can’t. All right. I mean, all of us thought All of us thought that what Wilkins left and you’d see a dip. That’s what we all thought, right? All thought that. And what happened? Zack Cer, he’s been an absolute stud. He’s got 23 and a half sacks over the last three years. All right, you are talking about the 10th most sacks by any defensive lineman over the last three years. And that’s with and without Christian Wilkins. This is going to be his last chance to cash in. Zack Steeler needs to retire Miami Dolphin. I don’t want to see him in another uniform like I had to see Jason Taylor and Zack Thomas. You know, Jason Taylor in a Jets uniform, Zack Thomas in a Dallas Cowboys uniform. I I think Zach Cer, if anyone deserves a new money in that building, and if anyone over the last three years during the McDaniel regime has earned new money, it is Zach Caler. Period. Period. I don’t want to hear any different. This guy’s heart and soul as a team, not just the defense, the team. And you want to speak about our defense? I’ve said this, go watch the film last year. I said this all throughout the year while we broke down the film. I’ve said it all this off seasonason. If Zack Cer or Chop Robinson weren’t having good games, that defense was pretty much non-impactful. That defense last year ran through Chop, especially in the second half, and Zack Cer throughout the year. So, I’m here. Zach Cer, one of my favorite players on the team. Should be every If y’all were in love with Wilkins the way you were, cuz he loved his mama. If y’all love that overrated linebacker that I was telling you for years was overrated in Jerome Baker, you guys must absolutely adore this player cuz he’s earned it. Period. Number one, this has got to be one. sign a veteran quarterback. Holy Jesus. Now, I’ve said this. I think they’ve already got their answer in terms of CB1 and Kater Koh. I think they’re going to strap the rocket to his back this year and they’re going to say, “Run with it, young man.” And you know, that’s why they brought in Ry Burns to fill in some of that slot role. Jason Marshall they drafted, but he’s really only a boundary guy. Not going to offer you much on special teams. And then we got to see another evol second year evolution of Storm Duck. Is Cam Smith finally going to shine under the bright lights of the NFL? Is Ethan Bonner going to be given a more fairer shot than he was last year under the first year under Wever Weaver? More so of a shot Fan was giving him. Is Ethan Robinson going to be something? Is BJ Adams, who I think they love, going to be something? You got to go out and get a Razula Douglas. You got to go out and get an Asante Samuel Jr. at this point. You got to go out and get a Stefon Gilmore. I mean, would any of us be sad if we woke up tomorrow and they signed Stfan Gilmore and Rodza Douglas? No. But, you know, you got to go out there and you got to add to that room. So, this is my list. Ditch the culture talk, show it, and prove. Properly assess James Daniels rehab so we’re not in the same situation we were with Isaiah wins rehab last year and having to lean on Robert Jones. Number three, you got to take care of Jonah. You got to suck it up. Guarantee the money. Sorry, that’s the way the NFL is headed. I’ve told all y’all this is where we’re headed and this is where we’re headed. Get it done. You got to extend Zack Cer because no one over over McDaniel’s regime has earned a paycheck more than this guy. And you got to take care of adding a veteran quarterback or two to that room. If you want to go get Asante Samuel because his neck checks out, knock yourself out. But if you got to sign Asante Samuel, I would implore you even further to add Stefon Gilmore or you know Razelwood Douglas or someone else to that room just in case things don’t work out with Samuel in his neck cuz I mean you could be one hit away from being back in the same position. All right. Like you you got to add someone You got to add someone and you need to do it right now. So, all right. Um, no. Uh, Stefon Gilmore has not signed with the New Orleans Saints, David. That is incorrect. He’s been there’s rumors of him going back to uh um the Panthers and the Patriots right now. He has not signed with anyone yet. He’s still a free agent. So, he has not signed anywhere. So, you got to take care of that. You got to take care of that quick. All right. All 400 of you in the room. Do me the favor. Go ahead, smash that like button. Subscribe if you are new. Side show Jay, I love this topic. I love this topic. I love what you’re saying here. All right, I’m going to bring it up and we’re going to talk about this right now because I I think you’re making a a good point here and well, we know Greer and Shor’s history. All right, Sideshow Jay says we got to pay achan. You got to get ahead of that deal, man. You got to get ahead of that deal. Point blank. Period. All right. You got to get ahead of that contract. There’s nothing else to really add to that because that’s going to be one if he hasn’t if that offensive line works out, he’s going to pop off. That’s a contract you do got to get at ahead of like, you know, he’s got 2025 and 2026. I would be starting preliminary talks during this season and I’d be trying to wrap them up next off season. Hell, after this down year last year, this would be the perfect time to actually try and wrap him up, but it’s too early. Him and his agent are going to say, “No thanks.” Next off season’s probably going to be the first chance you have to wrap up Achan. But we know Chris Greer’s history with running backs. Oh, Chuck started it. All right. Chuck started it. I appreciate you. Chuck started it. So, Chuck fins up. He uh he started it. Give me his flowers. There’s your flowers. All right. You got to get ahead of this, man. This is I could We already know how they have treated the running back position since before they started, you know, drafting Achan and drafting Jaylen Wright. You know, we that’s a contract I would be trying to get at because listen, he’s not just a running back. You want me to tell you what he is? He’s a modern-day Reggie Bush. That’s exactly what he is. And I think Reggie Bush’s tenure in Miami is vastly underrated. But he’s a modern-day Reggie Bush. He can kill you out of the back field if he gets any type of crease to run through. Can kill you. And he can kill you in the passing game. He’s a literal modernday Reggie Bush. That’s exactly what he is. So you got and guess what Reggie Bush in today’s NFL I don’t think he would have went like his tenure in Miami wouldn’t have went as underrated as he w as it was. And if Tyreek, if you’re moving off Tyreek next off season, you need to handle Devon Achan cuz again, he’s going to swallow up some of those targets. Period. Justin Vandenberg, who joined the membership status today, he joined the Pro Bowl, he just had a good he just had a really good question. He said, “Why isn’t Han Achan is a top 10 receiver, Justin?” He says, “Why isn’t Achan a top 10 receiver?” Sorry, top 10 running back. I believe he’s a top 10 running back, dude. I really honestly do with what he can offer you. I 110% think he’s a top 10 running back. He’s one of the most diverse offensive weapons in the NFL. if he stays healthy, if Tuis stays healthy and that offensive line shows up and Jaylen Wright has the year I’ve been warning y’all and hyping y’all about that he’s gonna have this year when everyone was like, “Oh, we got to draft Cam Scatterabo.” I said, “No, no, no, no. We got Jaylen Wright in this building. We don’t need that.” You know, I think Olly Gordon’s lack of ability to be creative and explosive east to west is going to hurt him being moreed one-dimensional in the sense of he can only go north south. Well, Jaylen Wright can go north, south, east, west. I mean, how many eight-yard carries did we or 10 yard carries did we see last year where the play was dead on arrival with Jaylen in the backfield and he cuts it back, makes a few men miss, gets past the line of scrimmage and turns a four yard loss into an eight or 10 yard gain. We saw it all last year. People listen, people are are too much there’s too much box score watching going on with Jaylen Wright. Jaylen Wright, you got to watch the film and you’ll see. Oh boy. Like look at the Patriots game. He blew up against the Patriots and all of a sudden we started raining back his snaps. Now the reason why they fully reigned it back was not only the fumble later on, but from what I understand in talking to people, they thought they were going to get a much better blocker than what they got with him. What about paying Minka? Here’s my thing. You want to give him a little guaranteed money this year? Sure. But I wouldn’t go BA LLS deep on this until you see one more year of them. You know, I would pay sealer before I pay Minka. But if Minka needs some guaranteed money, take care of them for this year. Don’t lock yourself into next year. Yo, Kevin, don’t worry. You ain’t going to miss me, brother. Make sure you’re out there this year. I’m going to be down there for August 19th, August 20th, training camp, and then August 21st, I’m going to be at the joint practice for the Jags. Don’t worry, just like last year, guys, I’ll be going live once I get back to where I’m staying. All right, so yeah, we’re going to Don’t miss me this year. Kevin, come sit with me. Bring your beautiful wife. Come sit with me. Come shout out all of you guys who want to come reach me. I will be down there three days in a row. All right. And one of those days I might have a little something special set up in front. We’re working on it. We’re working on it. All right. So, any of y’all want to come reach out, make sure Michelle, come say bye. Come say hi. All of you guys come through. All right. All right, guys. Um Justin, come see me then, brother. Come make sure you roll through and see me. Appreciate you, sir. All right. And I ain’t done. Smash that like button. Subscribe if you are new. I’m gonna get out of here.
