WHAT is going on with the Miami Dolphins?

Atlanta Falcons NFL preseason week one. Now, your team uh has already played. So, how much did you watch at the Hall of Fame game? Zero zero% of the Hall of Fame game. I wasn’t established on this, as we’ve mentioned, until Joe Rose let me know just how sad this Dolphin season is going to be. Like, if Tyreek Hill gets traded mid-season, I think I’m taking like a five-year break from the Dolphins. Like, wow. When I used to do Zaslo show uh weekly when he was on with Joy Taylor locally like that was the peak of when the Dolphins had just sucked all the fandom for me. I was legitimately not a fan and then you know Tyreek Hill and two and all this stuff happened and they got me back. But if this year is a is just if they don’t finish second in the AFC East this year, five years vacation. How quickly can we onboard you as a as a Lions afficionado? because I would like to do a standard old school radio hit as we preview the NFL. You know, 32 teams, 32 days type of Let’s take a look, the preseason schedule here because it’s either going to be as early as this coming Monday or it’s going to have to be the following week. Depends on what we’re looking at this week. We’ll play it we’ll play it totally straight. The audience will assume that we’ve just been covering all the the NFL teams. We’ll present it as such and Izzy, you’re gonna be our Lions guy. Perfect. to give Izzy a second. Is it worse if Tyreek Hill gets traded off the team or he’s just not good and stays on the team? What’s worse? I think dissecting why he’s not good and breaking down whether they need to, you know, get rid of Mike McDaniel because he’s got all these weapons and can’t do anything with it or maybe Tua if you say, “Hey, why can’t he get Tyreek the ball?” I think that’s a lot more fun than if he’s gone and you’re just like I mean the next logical step in conversation there is is Jaylen Wadd number one which I think we can still have that conversation but is it fun? Did we ever get around to what Jaylen Wadd was last year? Was he hurt? I mean he was always hurt. Yeah. But I thought Jaylen Wadd was good and last year that conversation around the water cooler over here was is Jayen W bad? He’s polarizing like around here there are people that think he’s good, people that think he’s not. And I’m trying to think who did we what was the debate Tony that we were doing the Waddle versus who last year? Was it McLaren? DJ Moj. Oh no, it was DJ Moore vers Waddle. That was the big debate in the office. And after last year, DJ Moore is clearly the better receiver, right? Well, they when he was coming out of Alabama, I just remember the quote that I forget who it was, but they said of all those Alabama receivers, right, that group of uh what uh three or four guys, he’s one of them. He was called the athletic one. And I was like, wow, that’s crazy. Of all those receivers, he’s the most athletic. They also canceled Henry Rugs. I was going to say I don’t see it though. Yeah, he would have been like the speedster anyway. He would have been more like the Tyreek Hill of the group. But I don’t really see it. Like I don’t see the crazy athletic stuff. Like I see was it Dante Smith? Like he looks like a deer out there. He’s very super light on his feet. He’s got a very specific like Damonte Smith. Excuse me. When I see him he’s not an Eagles guy. He’s not an Eagles guy. It’s like when Joe Rose said Keon Smith this morning, he’s been here for a long time. We got to find out if he can play football. I’m like I don’t even know. I’m just learning about this. Find out. Find out for me, Joe Rose. Cam Smith, I believe he meant if you do that. Is that what he meant? The third year corner. All right. So, there isn’t a same page. Isn’t there a Keon Smith? I know there’s a Cam Smith. You’re the Dolphin guy. Thirdyear corner who hasn’t played. I don’t know who Keon Smith is. Well, now I’m confused. Trying to find out who everybody is. He did have a corporate event. You know, they should do this in wide in the NFL. Like do the silhouette of the receivers and just like take their team away. Just do the silhouette of them running routes. See if you can tell who’s who. wouldn’t be able to tell Jaylen Wadd from any looks absolutely average in terms of the way he moves. Uh Tyreek Hill I’d be able to tell Dolphins have an offensive tackle named Keon Smith. All right, we got to figure out how to figure out he’s not he’s low on the depth chart though. Dvonte Smith, that’s the one. But um yeah, I just I’m not I want him to be great. Like I love Jaylen Wild. He’s a big Panthers fan. I love the dude. I want him to be great. So in a sense, maybe if they do get rid of Tyreek Hill, we get to see that once and for all. But it’s not going to mean the team’s going to be any good. career lows across the board for Jay Lewano last year. After 3,000 yard seasons, he had 58 catches for 744 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games. Yeah, I’m worried about your uh Dolphins vibes also seem to be a little weird around the head coach. Uh it doesn’t help that we were told uh like I I heard Kevin Clark on part of my take the other day and he’s like every former player that I work for with at ESPN hates Mike McDaniel just as a head coach. Like they they hate Mike McDaniel. Tua as like a leader, it’s a little bit divisive. Like I could see people that just go sort of blind and say, “Yeah, yeah, I’ll follow this guy. Like he seems ra.” And then there’s probably other people that are just like, I don’t know. It’s just kind of empty. Like what what is this? It’s just like rahrh for no reason. There’s nothing to it. And you could probably see the same thing with Mike McDaniel, right? Like there’s probably people that are just like, “Okay, I get this guy. I like the vibes.” And there’s other people that are just like, “No, I need something a little bit more, I mean, for lack of a better term, militant. Somebody who can just force me to do these things instead of somebody that I vibe with.” So Tua has got a little bit of Russell Wilson in him then, right? That would be a huge story. I mean, I could see that in terms of like in what way? Hold on. In what way? What do you mean? Please go into detail. I’m with Jeremy, though. It’s just a vibe. There’s just something about Tua. When he’s at a press conference, I’m just like, is he I don’t I just don’t know. I I I know exactly. The question is, is it genuine, right? Like, is it like is he just said rah just for the sake of being rah? Are you talking about to uh tag oval? You see those new numbers? Impressive. To a tag oval. Uh, it felt like Well, remember he was very reserved. Brian Flores. Who? To a tag oia. Brian Flores made work hell for our boy. That’s That’s your cue. To a tag oval. I’m not going to lie. If you just look at it, I’ve never given this man credit before, but that kind of like the way it should be pronounced. Tag ovalia. There’s no N, but everybody says N, but there’s no end. That’s a it’s a dialect. Of course, an entire family from Hawaii. Ovalia, an invisible in. An entire family just decided we’re leaving Hawaii and we’re going to go to Tuscaloosa before NIL. Nuts. How do they do that? Long trip. A great place to raise a

  1. I usually find these guys annoying but this is the most honest conversation Iโ€™ve heard about the team. Especially locally. Itโ€™s like everyoneโ€™s avoiding the elephant in the room: which is mediocrity and phoniness that continues to be excused for and avoided.

  2. Tua is really really really fucking bad at Quarterback

    McDaniels is a good Offensive Coordinator, not a leader of men

    Chris Grier, thinks heโ€™s a coach and horrible decision maker

    Stephen Ross is clueless about football and thinks money solves everything

  3. Take:
    The abilities that Tyreek Hill is being complimented on are the result of what he learned from The Chiefs. Brian Flores and Nick Vangio were both run off for being "harsh" yet have found great success on other teams.
    Makes me wonder, would Jalen Hurts have referred to Flores as harsh?
    The Alabama stuff has been talked about at nauseum regarding Jalen Hurts, but where it made Hurts resilient, it made Tua ____?
    Ijs, it may not be Waddle…

  4. Why are these guys tripping about a scrimmage lmao. First off our defense played well picking off Caleb. 2nd the offense was without 2 lineman and Hill. Chillout they only used a handful of plays lol

  5. As a Browns fan I must confess that I have always had an affinity for the Dolphins. I think it is because of Shula, Csonka, and Paul Warfield. It could also be the dysfunction. Hard to say.

  6. Cant figure out for the life of me why they do not value offensive lineman. Every year our o line gets bullied and then they sign the worst rated o lineman for minimum deals. Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

  7. I have been a Miami Dolphins fan since i was 6 years old. I always wanted Dan Marino to win a super bowl. The down fall for the head coach and the GM is that they did not pick sheudar Sanders. This was biggest and un knowledge by front office for not puck sheudar Sanders. This is the last stand for the coaches, mark my word not pick a good second string quarterbacks is bad.
