REACTION: The Miami Dolphins Were A COMPLETE DISASTER in Week 1

REACTION: The Miami Dolphins Were A COMPLETE DISASTER in Week 1

the uh game for the Miami Dolphins. And I will get off this subject, okay? I will get this sent off of me in 10 minutes and we will talk about the rest of the insanity that was yesterday and the weekend. But uh you guys see that Orioles game? It’s a good Orioles game. There was so much in the weekend. It was they were one out from being no hit and then they scored four runs. Orioles. Yeah, you can cuss what’s happening right now. Ridiculous. We will we will put the Dolphins, if not the season, this game in the garbage bin within the next 10 minutes. But these are some extreme opinions here that Billy and Zaz are having after week one. And I believe they speak for the fan base. Your son is in. I see him nodding vigorously on this season is over. This team is done. There’s no reason to put any hope in this particular basket and also injuries yesterday along the offensive line and at corner. the the two positions like they couldn’t stop anything with with those guys on the field. So like a a real apocalypse yesterday. Could not have gone worse. Their only NFL corner gets hurt. Their new offensive lineman gets hurt. Waddle turns into a piece of glass again. Every time he gets tackled, he’s hurt. It’s ridiculous. And and John Smith, the ball’s bouncing off him and the Steelers are winning the way they do. And uh and Jaylen Ramsay at the end of that game finishes the Jets. And who forced the fumble on Tua? Xavon Howard. Like everything went wrong for them yesterday. Steelers are done, by the way. What? Yeah, Steelers are done. Who had a better weekend, FIU or Steelers? Hold on a minute. I put Let’s put a Let’s put a bookmark in that one, Billy. I want to get all the Dolphin stuff out of here. I want No more nothing but Dolphins. Get purge yourselves. I want to be done with this. I do not want to talk about this team all season. Like, that was an apocalypse. It’s the worst thing that can happen. Zazzlo’s here and he says two is done. McDaniel’s done. And you can argue if you want, but it’s like, yeah, the game yesterday does not provide any kind of rebuttal to what it is that Zaz is saying. Hey coach, this thing unreable. This thing unrebutable. This thing this thing collapsed on McDaniel yesterday. They’re two-point favorite next weekend against the Patriots. Right. Welcome to the NFL. You look like one week. You win the next week and all your fans are going, “All right, okay.” Yeah. Then you have the Bills. We had a bad first game. Now we’re back. Okay. calm down. You know, I’m just saying I’m predicting that’s what’s going to happen. But Greg, that’s the reaction if they lose 26-24. Not like that. None of the fans are going to have that reaction you just portrayed if they win next week against him again. None of that. Okay, Greg. I disagree, Greg. There’s no dispute on what I’m saying. Like, you can say one game at a time. You can say the NFL is unpredictable to week to week. If if what we’re looking for is what will the Dolphins look like next week, what they just look like is as bad as it could have looked. There’s nothing. I don’t know how you have it being worse. The first half is something that hasn’t happened to them offensively in 30 years. And when you say I don’t know how you how you have it worse. I don’t have it worse. Quit trying to say that I’m apologizing for that performance. It was so putrid that the 30-8 score flattered the Dolphins. There’s nothing that could have happened yesterday. Performance was worse than that score. Nothing could have happened yesterday to push you off. Tua gets injured. Tua also gets injured. Okay. What? I’m not optimistic about the Dolphins. You just said they’re going to win on Sunday and everything’s going to be fine. I said I’m not the least bit surprised that they’re a two-point favorite because that’s the way the NFL works. The line went down since I said it. One and a half. Okay, there you go. And New England might be favored by next Sunday. A lot of action on the Patriots. Yeah, but that one and a half you told us last week really means that the Patriots are one and a half point favored because you get three points when you’re at home. So, the Patriots are technically favored. Well, we’ll see at kickoff. Maybe the Colts are just the new Chiefs. It’s possible. Have we thought about that? Time will tell. Daniel Jones, the new Mahomes. Daniel Mahomes. That would make me feel better. If they turn out to be like a 15-2 team, I’m be like, “Oh, okay.” No. No. There’s no there’s no there’s no feel better on they have the ball seven times, they score seven times, and Pton Manning didn’t do that in that uniform there. I don’t know. We We knew defense was going to be a problem. And then you’re saying to yourself before the game if we want to do analysis, hey, their front seven might cover up the corners they don’t have. They got the worst corners in the league. Oh my god, there’s no pressure. Oh my god. Oh, Daniel Jones is just going to do whatever he wants all game. And it’s and they’re not going to be able to stop them in any way in a way that has not been seen in Dolphin football in my lifetime covering them. And statistically when you go through the numbers, there haven’t been a lot of football games where any offense has ever looked as good as Daniel Jones’s did yesterday because not because Daniel Jones is so good in his first game with the Colts because the Dolphins looked that bad. It could not have been worse. I’m telling you, unless Tua had had gotten a concussion. I I just don’t know how you come back from Greg. One of the biggest problems with the team last year was it felt like the rest of the league had kind of caught up to McDaniel and the offense and we’d like to do the whole he’s not making adjustments this that all right week toeek basis I I I guess but at least this here before this season you have an entire off season to do something different. Okay. So, so I wrote and and it felt like it felt the same as last year where the offense is totally inept again. And that wasn’t Now look, maybe Cole’s defense will be good this year. They were terrible last year. Well, wait a minute. Timeout. They were eight and nine last year, but their defense was terrible. That’s not terrible. Well, their defense was terrible. Don’t talk like they were three and 14. They were eight and nine. They missed the playoffs by one game. I think their defense is ranked 29th last year, though. Again, maybe maybe their defense will be good this year. That was a terrible defense last year. Okay, it was it was very bad defense last year. And and that’s that’s why I’m totally out on Mike McDaniel at this point. You can’t have the off season with all the chatter and then this is what we get right out the gates. Like I don’t have any faith I don’t have any faith in him being able to solve the problem. Let’s bring in another specialist. I think the the blame starts with Chris Greer who who knew four months ago that he had an awful quarterback situation and didn’t do anything to fix it other than signing the ghost of Raul Douglas uh just before opening day. That’s a big problem. The offensive line has been a problem for years. Everybody knows Tyreek Hill is getting slower and probably will be traded by mid-season. Um, there were problems that they failed to address that don’t come right to Mike McDaniel’s lap. What do you do with all of this? Tua finished with a QBR of 2.7 out of 100. Okay. Uh, McDaniel entered the season as the betting favorite to be the first coach fired and now that rises. Uh, we’re in agreement on that. Yes. Uh, and right before the game, Tim Reynolds four minutes before kickoff. My official Dolphins prediction 11-6 wild card. Admittedly, I’m not the brightest dude sometimes, but I think they’re better than most people expect at this point. Okay. And I watched the Saints play yesterday. At this point, there is no team in football. I watched the Carolina Panthers play yesterday. I saw the New York Giants play yesterday. There is no I saw the Titans of Cam Ward play yesterday. There is no team in professional football that had a more apocalyptic beginning than the Miami Dolphins yesterday. Correct. They looked like a minor league team trying to play professional football when you paired it against what was happening in the rest of the league. All of the close games everywhere. Everyone everyone is a bounce away except in this one place where you’re just seeing every single time it’s Colts marching down the field and Dolphins being more inept than they’ve been since the the since 1991. Yeah. 11 of the 15 games were one-scored decisions. The Dolphins unequivocally played the worst of any team on opening day. They didn’t lose a preseason game, right? In the perfect season, Dolphins had a losing record. Exactly. So, um, but the question going forward is, are we burying the entire season based on a terrible You said it was a must-win. So, what has to happen? I said it was a must-win, not for the season, for the confidence and faith of the fans. It was a It was a faith quaking performance. If if you’re a Dolphin fan right now, you guys are the majority in in saying trade him, fire him. You guys are the majority. Did you see the rumors of who’s going to replace McDaniel? I’m trying to be the V here. Gruden. Oh god. Let’s do a top five quarterbacks that Chris Cody, your son, is ready to replace Tua with right now if he could get the option of replacing him right now. First, I got Oi. These are ones are that I feel like are obvious. Like are these guys who are like available? No, I mean these are just quarterbacks in the league that I just right now give them to me over to these first ones. OI are obvious. Like I don’t think I’ll have any push back here. Drake May, Michael Penn Jr., Cam Ward, and Bonix. Hold on. Hold on. Drake May, Michael Penn Jr., Cam Ward, and Bonix. Those are OI. Like those are just easy. I would do that right now. Cam Ward was getting hit yesterday, man. Number five, JJ McCarthy. Haven’t seen him yet. I’ll roll the dice. He’s literally never played a game. Number four, Aaron Rogers. I’ll take one year with Aaron Rogers and then I’ll take Nusmeire next year. I don’t give a Number three, Justin Fields. I said he should have been the backup a year ago. He looks better than Tua did. Number two, Joe Flacco. Same thing as Aaron Rogers. I’ll take one year with Joe Flacco. Give me Nusmeer. Like, let’s I’m done with it. Oh, no. Joe Flacco is better out of the pocket than two is. I’m telling you. And number one, Arch Manning. I’ll roll the dice. I don’t give a D with two. He can’t play quarterback right now. He will next year. I’ll play. What about Tanahill? You didn’t mention him. He’s out there. I would sign up for Arch Manning right now ahead of Tu. Tan Hill. Bull take out of you. Did you know Tanahill was a wide receiver in college? Tanahill. Tanahill’s out there. Available. He has toes for thumbs.
