Mike McDaniel and Miami Dolphins have ‘structural problem’ to fix | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

LET’S LET’S LET’S DISSECT HERE. WHAT WE’VE SEEN IT IS THE WEATHER OR THE TEMPERATURE UNDERNEATH MIKE MCDANIEL WARMER TODAY WELL, THAT GAME THEY WERE WELL COACHED LAST NIGHT. THAT’S AN OUTMAN TEAM WITH. I THINK A HISTORICALLY BAD DEFENSE AND I DON’T BELIEVE THAT COACHING IS THE REASON THAT THEY LOST THAT GAME. THEY’VE GOT A FUNDAMENTAL ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEM HERE. DAN IN THAT, I BELIEVE THAT’S THE BEST GAME. THE DOLPHINS CAN PLAY AND THEY’RE DOING IT BY THROWING THE BALL, UH, AS MANY TIMES BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AS THEY ARE PAST THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. NOW THAT WHOLE GAME LAST NIGHT, THE AVERAGE AIR YARDS IN THAT GAME FOR JOSH ALLEN AND TUA 1.4 YARDS, 1.4 YARDS ON COMPLETION. SO A LOT OF THE LEAGUE IS DOING THAT BUT WHEN I SAY THEY HAVE A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM, PROBLEM. BECAUSE THEY’RE NO LONGER WHAT THEY WERE, WHICH WAS THE BEST OFFENSE IN THE LEAGUE. THEY’RE CONSTIPATED ON OFFENSE AND JAYLEN WADDLE AND TYREEK HILL. DON’T LOOK LIKE THEY CAN GIVE YOU MUCH BUT UH JOSH ALLEN AGAINST THE DOLPHINS IS IN THE REGULAR SEASON 13 AND 2 8 AND 0 AT HOME. HE’S GOT 45 TOTAL TOUCHDOWNS AND 8 INTERCEPTIONS AGAINST THE DOLPHINS, ON THE OTHER SIDE. UH, THE DOLPHINS ARE HAVE NOW LOST 4 OF THEIR LAST 17 AND 8 IN A ROW AGAINST WINNING TEAMS. AND HERE’S THE STRUCTURAL FLAW. AND 2 WAS CAP, HIT THE NEXT 4 YEARS IS MORE THAN JOSH ALLEN’S CAP HIT IN BUFFALO AND THAT’S OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE THAT’S NOT GOING TO GO AWAY FOR A WHILE. I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY JUMPED THE GUN ON TUA WITH HIS PERFORMANCE, HIS INJURY HISTORY AND THEY COULD HAVE KEPT HIM ANOTHER YEAR. THEY COULD HAVE FRANCHISED IT. I I’M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND FROM THE FRONT OFFICE FROM OWNERSHIP WHERE THEY GO. NOPE! WE GOT TO SIGN THIS GUY UP. NOW, WHY? THEY’RE WILDLY MISMANAGED. THEY’VE GOT A GM. WHO’S GOT THE LONGEST TENURE IN THE LEAGUE WITHOUT WINNING A PLAYOFF GAME? UH, THEY HAVE NOT ENOUGH GOOD PLAYERS AND THEY GOT FOOLED BY SCORING 70 POINTS AGAINST THE BRONCOS AND HAVING A COMEBACK AGAINST THE RAVENS, WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE DO, UH, LATE IN GAMES. THE RAVENS HAVE BLOWN 17, SECOND HALF LEADS AND, UH, THEY GOT AN EMORD, UH, WITH THEY HAD THE BEST OFFENSE IN THE LEAGUE AND MORE THAN THAT, DAN. AND THIS, THIS PART MATTERS, THEY HAD EXCITING OFFENSE. THEY WERE THE FASTEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE, BUT NOW YOU LOOK UP AND THEY’RE ACCUSED OF BEING SOFT AND NOT PHYSICAL ENOUGH, AND THE 3 GUYS THAT THEY HAVE ON OFFENSE, THAT YOU NEED THINGS FROM WADDLE HILL AND TUA ALL PHYSICALLY UNDERSIZED LIKE YEAH, THEY THEY WERE FAST AND AND SPEED BURNS. BUT SPEED ALSO A AGES AND THEIR OFFENSES, YOU KNOW, IT’S IT’S A BIT LIKE A FERRARI IN THAT IF A SPARK PLUG IS OFF. IT DOESN’T RUN, RIGHT? THERE’S NOT A LOT OF MARGIN FOR ERROR. I THINK 1 OF THE STATS LAST NIGHT UH THEY HAD UH, 2. THEY HAD A DRIVE THAT HAD UH MULTIPLE SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS ON THIRD AND 10 AND IT’S THE FIRST TIME THEY’VE HAD THAT SINCE 2022. LIKE THEY, THEY USED TO BE A BIG PLAY OFFENSE, BUT NOW, WHAT THEY HAD TO DO IN THAT GAME LAST NIGHT IS DO A PERFECT 16 PLAY DRIVE, THAT CONVERTS A BUNCH OF THIRD DOWNS AND JUST KEEP JOSH ALLEN OFF THE FIELD FOR A WHILE BECAUSE WE CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE WHERE, WHAT WE USED TO DO IS WE’LL HAVE A SCORING DRIVE THAT GOES 1 2 OR 3 PLAYS, NOT 16. SAY, FOR IS MIKE MCDANIEL? WAS, BEFORE THE GAME, RIGHT? BECAUSE I REALLY THOUGHT THAT WHOLE GAME, DAN WAS GOING TO GO THE WAY THE FIRST HALF DID WHICH IS JUST KEEP HANDING THE BALL TO JAMES COOK AND HE’S GOING TO GET 9 YARDS EVERY TIME AND THAT YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN’T STOP HIM IN THE FIRST HALF AND THE MOST STUNNING THING FOR ME TO HAPPEN TO THIS SEASON FOR THE DOLPHINS IS THAT THEY STOPPED THE BILLS AT ALL IN THE SECOND HALF. LIKE, I DON’T KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE THE BILLS, UH, STILL SCORED 31 POINTS BUT THE FACT THAT THE BILLS WERE PUNTING IN THE SECOND HALF, I’VE SEEN NO EVIDENCE FROM THIS TEAM THAT IT CAN STOP ANYBODY, DAN. I, I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT THE DEFENSE IS HISTORICALLY BAD. TALKING TO DAN LEBATARD AND UH, HOST OF METALARK. MEDIA IS THE DAN LEVITAR SHOW THAT FOLLOWS THIS ON PEACOCK, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU’RE QUIRKY AND YOU WIN, WHEN YOU’RE QUIRKY AND YOU DON’T WIN THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE START TO PICK APART YOUR ANSWERS AT A PRESS CONFERENCE. HERE HAS THE MIKE TURN OFF IN SOUTH, FLORIDA. YEAH, THAT PART IS OBVIOUS. BUT THE GLEE UH WITH WHICH UH THE QUIRKINESS IS BEING MOCKED BY THE REX RYAN’S OF THE WORLD WHO SEEMED TO BE DELIGHTING IN CALLING HIM NERD BOY TURN OFF IN SOUTH, FLORIDA. SEEM TO BE DELIGHTING IN THAT BRANDON STALEY STUFF WHERE THAN EVERYONE ELSE? DO YOU? HE HAD REASON TO WRITE FOR A MINUTE, HE HAD REASON TO BELIEVE THAT WHEN THEY HAD THE BEST OFFENSE IN THE LEAGUE AND RAHEEM MOSTER HAD 18 TOUCHDOWNS AT THE RUNNING BACK POSITION BECAUSE IT DIDN’T SEEM TO MATTER WHETHER HIS OFFENSIVE LINE WAS ANY GOOD OR NOT. THEY HAD OFFENSE. HE, HE TOOK A QUARTERBACK THAT ALL OF US WONDERED ABOUT AND HAD THAT QUARTERBACK LEADING, WHAT WAS THE BEST OFFENSE IN THE LEAGUE BUT THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENING WITH MCDANIEL, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE DON’T REALLY WANT OUR COACHES TO BE INTERESTING, THEY’RE THEY’RE BETTER OFF BEING PUBLIC FACES AND VOICES FOR A TEAM. UH, JIM HARBAUGH IS AWFULLY QUIRKY DAN LIKE, I LIKE HIM BUT FANS KIND OF WOULD PREFER THAT THEIR COACH JUST SORT OF BE PRESIDENTIAL BE SOMEBODY WHO UH CONNOTES LEADERSHIP AND DOESN’T DO VERY MUCH WITH INTERESTING SOUND BITES LIKE IN THE HISTORY OF OF SPORTS WHEN YOU THINK OF THE COACHES WHO ARE REAL PERSONALITIES, YOU KNOW WHATEVER STEVE SPURRIER UH, MIKE LEECH. THEY’RE JUST THERE AREN’T VERY MANY THAT YOU THINK OF JERRY GLENNVILLE. THERE JUST AREN’T VERY MANY THAT ARE WILD. PERSONALITIES, THEY THEY YOU BILL BELLICH, THAT TENDS TO BE WHAT YOU GET FANS IN SOUTH FLORIDA. YOU BE GREAT OR THE DOLPHINS TO BE OH, THAT’S A GOOD QUESTION, BECAUSE I’M GONNA SAY THE DOLPHINS BECAUSE IT’S THE UH YOU KNOW, 50 YEARS OF DOLPHIN FOOTBALL INCLUDES A TIME AND I DON’T THINK YOUR AUDIENCE HAS ANY RECOLLECTION OF THIS. IT INCLUDES A TIME WHERE THE DOLPHINS WERE THE WINNINGEST FRANCHISE IN ALL OF SPORTS. NOT JUST IN FOOTBALL. THEY WON BY PERCENTAGE MORE OFTEN THAN EVERYONE ELSE, AND NOW THEY’VE GOT THE LONGEST DROUGHT IN THE SPORT. A SPORT THAT INCLUDES, YOU KNOW, THE BILLS FOR A WHILE, WENT 17 SEASONS WITHOUT GETTING TO THE PLAYOFFS, THE RAIDERS HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING IN THE PLAYOFFS IN A LONG TIME BUT THE LONGEST DROUGHT BELONGS TO THE MIAMI DOLPHINS. AND THIS BEGAN AS A FOOTBALL TOWN BECAUSE OF THE MIAMI DOLPHINS. WE STILL HAVE AN EXPRESSWAY HERE NAMED AFTER DON SCHULA BECAUSE OF WHAT THE DOLPHINS DID A LONG TIME AGO AND AND THE ME THE MIAMI HURRICANES HAVE HAD SOME RECENT SUCCESS. SOME SUCCESS THIS CENTURY, THE LA, THE LAST PLAYOFF GAME. THE DOLPHINS WON, DAN LAMAR SMITH SCORED A TOUCHDOWN AGAINST THE COLTS. IT WAS NOT ON LOCALLY. THAT THAT THERE WAS A DOLPHIN PLAYOFF GAME. THAT WAS SO LONG AGO THAT YOU COULD NOT SEE IT LOCALLY IN MIAMI. CAN YOU THINK OF ANOTHER FRANCHISE WHERE WHEN YOU GO TO THE GAME, YOU SEE THIS JERSEY, AND IT’S A JERSEY THAT IS FROM A PLAYER WHO PLAYED DECADES AGO IN DAN MARINO LIKE OF ALL, THE ALL THE DIFFERENT NOW. YOU, YOU MIGHT SEE THAT WITH THE JETS, SO MAYBE OR THE BEARS WITH WALTER PAYTON. BUT WHEN YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT THE DOLPHINS, DO YOU SEE OTHER JERSEYS OF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW, ANYBODY BESIDES DAN MARINO IN THE BUILDING? THEY’RE A GOOD AMOUNT OF TUA SUPPORTERS, IT IS HARD TO SUPPORT SOME OF THE THINGS TYREEK HILL IS EVEN IF YOU’RE EXCITED BY HIM ON THE FIELD. BUT UH THIS HAS BEEN A FAN BASE THAT IS UNUSUALLY STARVED FOR EXCELLENCE BECAUSE IT’S BECOME A REGIONAL TEAM DAN, IT’S NOT A NATIONAL TEAM AND 1 OF THE REASONS THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THEM NOW IS BECAUSE FOR ABOUT A 16G GAME SPAN OR MAYBE A 20 GAME SPAN, THEY HAD AN OFFENSE THAT WAS INTERESTING THAT COULD MAKE BIG PLAYS AND SO FOR 1 BRIEF MOMENT THERE THIS TEAM HAD EXPECTATIONS THAT HAD PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT NATIONALLY AND WHAT I’VE BEEN SURPRISED BY THE FIRST 3 WEEKS OF THIS SEASON. YOU TELL ME IF I HAVE THIS WRONG BECAUSE IN THAT GET THE SAINTS CAROLINA, BUT NATIONAL LAUGHINGSTOCK FROM COAST TO COAST OVER THE FIRST 3 WEEKS OF THE SEASON. THAT’S BEEN BECAUSE THEY’VE GOT 3 VERY POLARIZING THINGS AS THE FACE OF THEIR NATIONAL IDENTITY. MCDANIEL, TUA, AND TYREEK HILL. AND THE WEIRDEST THING ABOUT THAT DAN IS, I THINK 2 WAS THE MOST POLARIZING OF THE 3. THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND AND IT’S JUST BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO ACCURATELY MEASURE. WHAT IS THIS GUY LIKE? IS HE IS HE A HE NOT A FRANCHISE THAT DISCUSSION MADE, UH THE CONVERSATION AROUND 2, A MORE POLARIZING THAN THE 1 AROUND MCDANIEL, WHO CAN GIVE OFF THE QUIRKINESS, YOU SPEAK OF AND TYREEK HILL, WHO DOES SOME
