Give us a fivestar rating. We greatly appreciate it. So, the Dolphins lost. Um, the defense gave up, you know, to one guy 206 rushing yards. Uh but the funny thing is it was so bad again at this point this is all you can do. Like the defense gave up to one one guy 20 the Dolphins as a whole rushed for 19 yards. He he had 206. Um we got trolled. The Panthers trolled us by having the elevator door close with him on the door. Yeah. Um Yeah. But here’s the thing. Omar, you gotta share whatever. I mean, no, I’m just saying like for all the Dolphin fans. Oh, it’s so they trolled us. Oh, a lot of us just want Steven Ross to see these types of things and do something. Um, but the thing that I noticed is because I made a video today kind of trying to figure I did the film breakdown trying to figure out like who was to blame for the loss in the third quarter. Um, we forced them to four straight times. So, you know, the offensive line was trash, like complete trash. Uh, some of the play calling was horrible. He ran a stretch to the left, it didn’t work. The next series, he ran the same exact play to the left, it didn’t work. He abandoned certain plays that were working, stuck with plays that weren’t working. Fun fact, we were talking about PFF last week and how they take certain criteria and put it to got a 90 PFF grade. Now, I didn’t think he deserved a 90. Look, he got a 56 and I was like, he deserves higher than that. Then he gets a 90 and I’m like, he doesn’t deserve that high. Um, but he gets a 90. So, I’m going to go around who what’s going on? Who do you put your hierarchy of blame? One to three. I want to start I normally start with Omar. I’m gonna start with TD. Um, to attack is the blame. All right. Um, everything I’ve been saying this for years and and here’s the crazy thing. Tua had a good game. Tua had a good game, but everything is built around him. Everything is structured around him. Everything is made for him. Okay, let’s call it what it is. They need him to play elite football in order to win games with the non- elite roster. And the Miami Dolphins don’t have that. Tua is not the problem, but the problem is getting paid what he’s getting paid. He needs to be the solution. And he’s not. And this is what I continue to tell people. I don’t care about no defense. We already knew they were going to be garbage in the offensive line. All this optimism as usual. All of it is the same. Everything around Tua is garbage. But can you see this 8% iota of variability? Can you see not just your little completion percentage, you got to almost be flawless. You have to. That’s what you sold us on. That’s what you sold this team on. Listen, I’m not sugar coating anything anymore just because he has solid games. Solid ain’t solid enough. Good ain’t good enough. You need elite. Because when I watch M. Jones. When I watch Drake May and I watch Trevor Lawrence deliver the way that they do with chaos around them, running for their life, bad team. I mean, literally bad O lines most of them too. Like literally making plays off script, making unbelievable throws, playing almost flawless. That’s what it takes. All three of those quarterbacks I just named could have lost their game if they didn’t play flawless. and they pretty much almost did and that’s what it requires sometimes. Now it and I’m I want to just last thing. It ain’t all on tour. I know that it’s and he’s not the main problem, but you have to be a part of the solution and you’re not. So you can fix the five problems before him all you want just to find out it still ain’t good enough. No, I can see it. Some of y’all can’t see it. I can see it. You can go ahead and fix all those five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11 problems before him. It still ain’t going to be good enough because he hasn’t showed a iota of carry ability. So, we could blame this, blame that. Yeah, the run game sucks. The this and that s everything sucks. Stephen Greer, everybody. Everybody. Okay. But this is how you built this team because of that guy. Let’s just call it what it is. At least that’s my take. Sorry, Allan. How do I follow that up? Holy moly. Glad you and not me. What was to blame? Yes, that’s the answer. Okay, it’s not as simple. And here’s the thing, piggybacking off of what TD said, this is three times now where the the offense has the ball to go take the lead or tie the game and it’s three times where it’s plop fizzled. And yes, the offensive line is bad, but I’m sorry, I rewatched that that third down sack and he’s got Devon Chan leaking out of the back field, which with an easy throw before the guy gets to him. Patrick Jones, I think his name was. That’s a play should have made the second down pass. It’s an overthrow. And Omar, I saw you put out a tweet. I mean, are you serious? Maybe it’s Wadd’s fault because he jumped too early. Are you serious? Really? I I I the the m there are multiple views of that play. That play doesn’t look in person as bad as it looks on TV. That that’s that’s all I’m saying. And well, he he he got he got his feet all messed up because he’s he decided there was pressure before there was and he didn’t reset and the ball floating panics weren’t there. Okay. And the first down pass he thrown to Wadd was completely covered. So that’s that’s as atrocious series as you want from your Omar. I’m not going to say $53 million quarterback because I know that’s going to drive you nuts. 38 whatever as your your highest paid player on the team. That’s flat out not good enough. He’s he’s not the sole reason they lost. But now again that what what’s with the the the big He wasn’t even bad. He wasn’t even bad. He wasn’t even average. He was good. TD TD games in the NFL very very often come down to the final possessions. And for those who are going to go, well, he threw a touchdown pass to Jaylen Wadd before that. Well, first of all, no. Jill Maddle caught a touchdown pass that was massively underthrown after completely smoking Michael Jackson. Let’s be honest. Uh 31 probably 31 starting quarterbacks make that throw. But whatever that’s beside the point. Trevor Lawrence had to had two drives in the fourth quarter to get Jacksonville to win. So you had to had two. Sorry. Uh but there there there are myriad of of issues. The run defense sucks. The run the running game was completely non-existent. Maybe that was partly because teams don’t have to worry about Tyreek anymore and they can condense the field a little bit. The that’s a different topic for another time, but again, a lot of different reasons. The bottom line is they had a chance to win and the offense didn’t come through at the end. Go ahead. Is it my turn now? It’s your turn. Oh, here we go. Go ahead. So, a quarterback that produces. There we go. The passer rating. Are you I didn’t I did not interject it to yours. Are you serious with this? 122 passer rating. 100 pass rating for the season despite stinking it up in the season opener. Galleries, three touchdowns, zero interceptions. Yes, he was sacked three times. We all saw the three sacks. Jonah was responsible for two. Then Aon Brewer kind of sacked his own quarterback. that. But let’s put that beside Let’s put that to the side. We know the offensive line is trash. TD wants to to work miracles with trash. TD wants him to to to be comfortable and and set his feet at all times in the pocket working with trash. That’s what the salary requires. Omar already. Let me say serious. But we all know that two is a play action quarterback. Does a play action work without a running game? It doesn’t. Um, and that’s not good enough if that’s all he can do. I’m sorry. Sorry. It’s your No, no, no. He could do more. He could do more, but you know, it it would benefit him if teams didn’t know he was passing every single down, but Or you’re down you’re down by You’re down by three with two minutes left. Yeah, they know he’s going to be passing. Okay. Yeah. And and and you’re you’re right. He he does have he does need to throw two game-winning touchdown drives. We that’s just what we got to do. And I have never said this that the one thing Tu has not done on a consistent basis, he has done it but not on a consistent basis is he’s hasn’t become a killer. You get 90 seconds. If Patrick Mahomes has the ball, I’m terrified. If Josh Allen has the ball, I’m terrified. If Trevor Lawrence, no, not Trevor Lawrence. Uh Lamar Jackson has the ball. I’m scared. Maybe CJ Stout to a tongue of Aloa. Eh, I ain’t worried. I’m I’m good. We’ll we’ll we’ll figure it out. But for you guys to sit here and put a 239 yard rushing performance. Nobody did that. Do not no why did they lose? What was the question you asked, Doug? And I said yes. I said what? Who was to blame? I said yes. How about how about how about how about we it it you know what what’s the word thing about how do you how do you eat an apple one bite at a time like how about we actually fix the run game and actually just stop the run. I’m not asking for pressures. I’m not asking for turnovers. Let’s just stop the run. Let’s just let’s just start there. Let’s just baseline. That’s that that’s problem number one. It’s not a gesture because it’s not going to happen. So therefore, I mean, the season done. If it’s not going to happen, season done. Yeah. There’s no reason we’re playing this game because I’m I’m just saying the Patriots leading rusher had 24 yards. Okay, that’s cool. This is what I mean. But what happened in that game? What happened in the game? This is what it takes. It Yes. and and he got Drake May got lucky and there will be instances where he’s going to look like to a tongue of Aaloa in in in the season opener. It’s just same thing with CJ Stout, same thing with with uh uh Green Bay’s quarterbacks, same thing with all of these quarterbacks who are not the elite quarterbacks. Um let’s start with here’s my issue with this team. Cannot stop the run. Number one. Number two, cannot protect your quarterback, especially in pressure situations. Number three, it would be nice if we can consistently stop the run, run the ball. But I will say this, this was really the first game where they could not run the ball. And I suspect, I know they’ll they’ll tell me it wasn’t the case. I suspect they are doing something that’s telegraphing the run because I’m sorry, Carolina is not that good at run defense. AJ Ain’t pitching a run too. Um god, dude. I was watching the live stream and I remember one play. I was watching the game and I remember the camera view went straight to Achain, right? And Achain just he’s like looking over to the left like counting how many guys. And I’m like, man, they must be gonna run to the left because he definitely telling me they they are there is no doubt in my mind that they’re beginning to telegraph there like the where they’re going. They there’s no doubt. And yeah, that could work. That could catch people slipping on play action, but when you don’t have no play action, it’s gonna work. And and and to piggy back off of that, because again, I did I only did the film breakdown for the second half because the first half was all fine and nice and butterflies and roses, but it didn’t really matter when you gave up, you know, 20 unanswered points. And again, you know, we get the ball, uh, they kick a field goal, we get the ball, we punt, they punt, we punt, they punt. It was like punt, punt, punt, punt, back and forth, back and forth. And I’m like looking at the plays and again it’s okay we’re going to run the stretch to the left. That didn’t work. It got blown up. You know why? It’s because the offensive line the guards aren’t good enough to pull out that wing. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question guys. How often do you see Tula go three and out for five series? First it depend on who you It wasn’t it wasn’t three and out but there was five punts in a row. Yeah. They only had one they only had one first down and all that though. There was three three. They had one first down. Um it it’s it’s not often Omar um to answer your question um the pro see this whole um three and out thing is a problem for me because yeah you were up 17 zip but the defense were a major contributors of why yes two takeaways and then after the 17 zip your defense bent but didn’t break and forced the field goal then your defense bent again but didn’t break and forced the field goal. Then they had four five punts in a row. Yeah. So, you mean to tell me your defense or is part of the main reason you go 17 zip, they force two field goals in a row, then they force five punts eventually. Oh, all hell is going to break loose eventually. And like I I expected that. I said they can’t sustain this long. You cannot offense has to extend this lead. You cannot expect the defense to hold but too long. This and this is where if I had to pick the number like the top in my book, I put Mike McDaniel cuz some of the play calling on on the the subsequent drives after each punt were just again run a stretch to the left side isn’t working. The guards aren’t pulling. Next series, the first play he runs a stretch to the left side. It’s like do again he does this is what Mike McDaniel does. This is working, but you know what? It’s predictable, so I’m going to stop doing that. Let’s do this. It’s not working. It’ll eventually work. Let’s keep trying. It He like drives me nuts when he does that. You So, you want him to abandon the run like I want him working that he abandons the run. Except you’re playing the results here. That’s the thing. I I I’m not a big fan of of criticizing play calls. I’m not either. I wasn’t I wasn’t playing the results. It’s Oh, go ahead. Keep going to the tops. Let me make a very important point. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Because I’m not done. Okay. Been trying to And then against the Jets, we had a touchdown and we had two big plays off of play action like Omar was talking about. We rushed for 19 yards. 19 yards. I think it was like 23 up to this point cuz we lost like five or six yards on subsequential runs or whatever. He kept calling playaction plays when no one’s biting on the play action. Two of the plays that were thrown away, one to a play action to his right, rolled out to his left, and the pass rusher was like, “I’m not going after him. I’m going after you.” And two had to throw it away. Same thing the opposite way. You’re not running the ball. If we had a 100 rushing yards like all together as a team up to that point, makes sense. Run, play, action. We were not running the ball. So trying to put them in that situation. It just didn’t work, man. Okay, my turn. Two quick point I want to make. number one for the catastrophe that was the run defense. The two biggest plays on offense for Carolina were two passes and it was the two fourth down throws. Either one of those was incomplete and guess what? The Dolphins win. And on both of those plays, it’s hot tip to Bryce Young cuz one of them he escaped pressure. The other one was a beautiful throw. Forgot about Bryce to to Jimmy Horn Jr. number two. despite giving up 239 yards rushing, you still had the ball in your hands at the end of the game, minute 54, three timeouts, and you went plop. And and I have to double back to what Doug was saying. I’m so glad you brought that up, Doug, cuz you’re spot on. Now, I have a a slightly different philosophy, Omar. Yeah, abandoning the run. Because you know why? Last two weeks ago when y’all were, oh, the play action, we need more play action. I said teams the Jets. It was the Jets, right? Yes. I said the Jets, we were so successful on the play action when two were rolled out. Nobody coming towards them. Nobody within 10 feet. We were so successful. I can see if you spur you had a few of them here and there and it’s not a regular diet of your offense, but we had like 10 plays where it was successful. I said Carolina going to be all over that next week. That that’s too obvious. And every time we did run play action in a few times, there was a defender coming straight to to him. Coming straight to him every time. And this is why, yeah, it works in occasions, but I already knew this wasn’t the game for the game plan. I don’t play the results cuz I was during the game. Mike McDaniel just spread it out. Go five wide, let him hit quick passes because they’re loading the box. They’re bringing the guy down late. They’re sending delay blitzes and they’re sending it on the weak side which just in case of the play action. This was a game you needed to spread it out early but you waited till late to spread it out. And let me tell you why. The one thing you don’t want to get in is third and eight, third and nine, third and 10, third 11, third and 12. If your run game ain’t working, that’s for every stop handing the ball off. It’s for every quarterback. Yeah, but that was happening to us. Allan, stop running the football. You keep putting them in those third and longs. So therefore, now if it was Justin Herbert, that’s different. You go, hey, hey, he he can handle that. But, you know, I’m just saying the the drive before we scored the touchdown and then we’ll move on to because we already talked about the O line telegraphing run. um before we scored the touchdown, our offensive play. It’s like sometimes, again, we blame Tua for the offense stalling, but then sometimes it’s just like you got to be kidding me with the the the things that just happened because the series before we scored the touchdown, he hits Wadd for a nice 17 play, which again, no play action. It was what we should have stuck with. Then, uh instant pressure again on a playaction play. Then another one-yard pass, which he should have thrown it to his other side, but again, you’re asking a lefty to completely turn himself around and throw it the other way. The last play on that drive, third and 17, third and seven on our own 45. Bad snap down to to his left knee. Mhm. Gets up, instant pressure, and has to just prayer throw it. If he didn’t have that bad snap and that instant pressure, he hits Wadd. Waddle was open. See, this is where we have the difference of opinion. You got to get up, step into the throw. They couldn’t. There was a guy. Dude, as soon as that one, come on. No, you you know you’re going to get killed, but you got to deliver the football. TD literally the ball snapped at his knee. As soon as he brings it up, the guy’s in his face. There’s no doing anything else. Doug, he flicked it up to avoid the hit. No, he went in there and delivered the football. It is what that’s make the right throw. It’s going to hurt. It is what it is. But we’re never going to do that because you got to avoid the contact. What are you told? That’s harsh. I get it. I get it. But that’s the limit. Goes back to the limitations. That goes back to the limitations. Every every quarterback So every quarterback who has a concussion is is is limited. I mean, this is Omar. I know he’s the most concussed quarterback. Okay. But Omar, how many quarterbacks in the NFL on that third and third down scramble would have like tried to zigzag and get the first down as opposed to sliding three yards before. He had three defenders around him though. I don’t know if he’s really going to zigzag. How many would be five 200 something pounds limitations? Baker Mayfield is getting somebody with Mayfield absolutely does not slide there. I don’t know who you Yes, but he’s not getting the first down. You had two defenders in front of him. But that’s the thing. You you you don’t know that. You don’t know. Like Trevor Lawrence at the goal line. Trevor Lawrence at the goal line. He tried to get in. You want Trevor Lawrence over Tua? No. No. No. Not at all. Not Not at all. I mean, he played last. But But do you see the outcome of the game because of what he put on the line? Because different skill sets. He’s got a He’s got a cannon of a arm. He’s bigger. He’s a little bit more mobile. Okay. The cannon didn’t win him the game. The mobility did. Okay. Mo. Yeah. Last night. And you you know how I feel about mobile quarterbacks. That’s cool until your quarterback’s on IR. Different on our gonna go on there, too. Yeah, I get that for a different reason. I I got that. Um I like big arms. Thank you. You do. You are an arm queen. Um I will save you the trouble. One le let’s move on to our topics because we we do have to address. Uh, is it time to panic about the top two picks? We’re we’re I’m very very close. I’m very Especially close, especially when I see Tyler Warren completely balling out in Indie week after week after week after week and it’s like I know I know tight end was way down the list of priorities, but damn, you’re set at that position for 12 years. You you should have you should have addressed your offensive line earlier and then doubled down on defensive tackles and maybe triple down like you did. Um the biggest to me the biggest issue is Kenneth Grant got benched for that game and it doesn’t matter because when he’s on the field now you’re looking at teams double teaming him which he’s a nose tackle so he’s supposed to be double team but moving him six yards off the ball. Jonah at this point play Zeke bigger at this point figure out what you have because now you’re back Jonah. Well, no, no. On no on Z say big play Zig’s bigger to address the defensive line. You don’t have you don’t have anything in house that’s going to help you stop the run. So, and every week you notice how when we had offensive line issues, you went outside and and got some. Yep. When we had when we lost Tyreek Hill, you went outside and you got one. Um, you clearly have defensive line issues. You’ve done nothing. I mean, they invested, but and Jonah, give me my options. You don’t have any. No, I I agree with you there. Daniel Bren, maybe I consider putting him at the right guard. Maybe, but we’re we’re so far down the investment of of left guard. I really don’t even think that’s the issue. I just think it’s, you know, but that goes back both of them are out of position. That was weird. By the way, when when Jonah, who’s already coming in as a rookie, you know, was on the right side of Arizona, they move him to the left side. That’s it drives me. It’s another thing that Mike McDaniel doing that. It’s just Yeah. Okay. J, but James Daniel, you envisioned him playing next to Austin Jackson. They’re the both running. I’d like to see him play. Yeah. But I would put the veteran on the left side and put the I don’t disagree with you, but they wanted to do something different with their run game and it just blew up in their face. Now, do you want to switch Jonah? Do you know, maybe you need to talk to him and ask him, you know, do you feel like you would play better if you were a right tackle, right guard, and be more natural? I don’t know. I I’m I’m at the point where you might as well try something because, you know, and I’m not saying Daniel Brunkill or Keon Smith is the answer because they’re not. But I don’t even think Cole Strange is the answer. I can’t believe I miss I miss Iikenberg. And then he’s not coming back anytime soon. No, neither. Yeah, but but would he not be playing better? I think he would actually. Yes. Oh, yeah. He’d be playing better, but it’s a low bar unfortunately. I mean, it it it we we are where we are. But the thing is, are you going to, and this is the question that I have for Mike McDaniel, and not really Chris Greer because y’all know the situation. For Mike McDaniel, what is the situation? Are you going to let these rookies take you down? Yeah, he is. That’s what he does. He’s so stubborn. I don’t understand why the man doesn’t just make the moves that he does. He He’s so But like Omar said, who do you if you bench Jonah like go through your head? Who do you put in there? Yeah, but Alan, don’t they at the zero tech right now? He’s not a nose. This is This is right. Sorry. But that’s where they have him. Right in the middle. No, it’s been Bonito and and Jordan Phillips. I haven’t seen I thought I was seeing reps right up the middle getting bullied all day. So this is what really like was my final straw with Mike McDaniel was that presser where somebody asked him you know Jonah’s better he’s played his college career at right guard do you have any I you want him no like he essentially was like I want to see if he can figure it out of so it’s his own fault if you know you keep doing something again it’s like his play calling these bubble screens oh they figured it out I’m gonna keep running them though until they work but hey Darren Waller five for five you know 70s something yards and a touchdown Let’s stop Let’s stop working on him. Let’s bubble. It’s He’s his own worst enemy. He’s trying to outsmart everyone. And he Let me Let me address the Darren Waller thing because I have a I have a thought that that I want to Oh, look out. Look out. I want to share with people. How many plays do you think he knows practicing on a limited basis for two weeks? He just knows his package right now, probably. So, how big do you think it I’m not even How extensive do you think the Darren Waller um collection of plays is right now? Would you give it 25 plays? Would you go to 35? Sure. Keep using them. They were out of plays. They played 26 plays in the They were out of plays for maybe they should have kept running around. We when we did the preview, me and Allan talked to Panthers peoples and they all said, “We can’t cover tight ends if our life depended on it.” And guess what? For the first half, they couldn’t cover Darren Waller if their life depended on it. And then the second half, Mike McDaniel was like, “Nah, it’s working. I’m going to stop. Let’s bubble screen and play action and run.” Let me ask you this question. Do you think he’s going to admit to you, “Yeah, we ran out of place.” I don’t honestly I don’t even understand what he says half the time. So probably not. You can duplicate the same play. I know you could duplicate but then wouldn’t it be easier for the Panthers to to cover them? But that’s here in the same is a physical mismatch. He’s the type of guy who can be covered and let Tua throw him a 50/50 ball until well until it’s not working. Exactly. 2020 2022 he beat the Detroit Lions his rookie year as the head coach running the same exact play three times in a row and just changed it at the last B like the last. Where’s that Mike McDaniel? Where’s the guy who’s drawing things up and oh, we’re going to do this and that and this. He’s like it’s like he regressed in year four where he’s like overthinking things. He’s got less to work with. Yeah. Not only less to work with, but people understand what we’re trying to do more. And also, you can’t move forward on that that motion anymore. That’s a big hit, too. And that’s he’s got to adapt. No, they don’t do that. They don’t even do that on the road. So, I know you never could, but we were that first year. Like, we play the Chargers. We play the Chargers in 2022 and get exposed. Then we play the Chargers week one of 2023 and the offense destroyed him. So, it’s like obviously he can make adjustments. Yep. Why isn’t he doing it more often? I don’t feel like any adjustments was made between them two games. The adjustment was on the Chargers side of the football. Go look at the defense they were playing the year before versus the defense after. When they obliterated us, they did none of that. I literally said, “Oh, we’re going to lose to the Chargers if they come out.” And remember, they were on their third string corners. Like their whole secondary that year, we got obliterated third string corners. But the system, what they were running in that secondary, putting their hands on guys, making sure they bump them off the spot. That next game, the next year, week one, when we put up 35, 10 yard cushion the whole game, I was like, man, what why would they be doing this? But oh well, we’ll take the W. That was more defense. It’s the It was the same system. We were running the same stuff. Um, let’s get to these real quick so we can get to the donations. Uh, is there a solution for the defense? In all honesty, claim sign and claim some veteran defensive linemen. We’ll see if they do the ones here. I don’t have to play. You can’t then that means Benito Jones and Matthew Butler would have to go because you’re not Chances are they’re not dumping any of the draft picks and they’re not dumping Jones and Matthews. Butler Matthew Butler. Oh yeah. I mean, how much money we got? You act like I care like Yeah. Hey, hold on. Here’s a corner. I’ll like you y’all about to get fired. You about to lose your job. This is true. You about to lose your job. Like do something. Huh? You’re about to lose your job. Your job. Yeah. Like you got to do something. And it puzzles me. You know, you’re a turn style at defensive tackle and you do nothing. But you’re also you’re also assuming there’s going to be stud run defenders are going to play. No, I’m not. I’m just assum I’m just assuming that you need help and you haven’t gotten help. Tart, that’s the guy they should have kept. Come on. You hold on. I’ve seen this. Balling. He is balling. Pupard. Was he lazy during camp? He looked like absolute crap. But that that was the even trying. Nope. He a gamer. He’s still He’s a gamer. I’ve been watching him. Try. I’m not arguing with you about him being a gamer, but like bro wasn’t even putting in effort. No. Yeah. Yeah. He looked he looked disinterested. To answer uh TD’s question, 1.8 million in cap space right now. That’s all we got. Yeah, that’s all we got. Uh and then finally, because of the dead cap, Omar, it’s going to get worse. Several, please. That’s why you only have eight left. Okay. Um, did Wadd step up in your guys’ opinion with Tyreek in there? He gave you He gave He gave you I mean, can we get can we expect that on a weekly basis? If you could get get that on a weekly basis. Let me see what it extrapolates to. He was very good. And that that would be a se I mean, if he did that on weekly basis, you looking at a 1700 yard receiver. I think I’m good with that. The only reason the defense is going to get better because it’s it can’t go any lower. That’s basically Yeah, that’s true. The problem I have with the Wadd performance, it’s not It doesn’t feel like they were intentionally trying to feed him that way, which is still good. It all happened in the flow of the offense. Yeah. But that’s Wadd’s job. That’s what Wadd does. Yeah. But I think you don’t think he needs to be in that role where, hey, this is critical moment. We’re coming to you. you know, yeah, so bad. What what I find interesting about the Wadd situation is they turned him into a possession receiver and kind of negated his speed, but he needs somebody to run that slant, that hard slant. And Wadd runs that hard slant. Nobody else can run it, I don’t think, on this team. You need to get NWI to do it because he’s he’s got he’s got the body. I was looking this wasn’t even looked at like the the pass zero targets. The pass to Wadd where Wadd saved a potential interception. Westbrook was open across the middle. You didn’t even look at him chemistry. Anyway, we got almost a thousand in here. Hit that thumbs up. Hit that subscribe. Let’s get to some of these donations. This is one I was talking about from Chief with the $2. He says, “Need a Montreal cat as a sticker. Go poop. Go.” Nice. Thanks, E. Uh Louis with the Fiverr says, “Love the show. I honestly look forward to his all day. Also, fire Ross. Good luck. Good luck with that one. That’s not going to work. Yeah. Now, it now it might get a little complicated when the Flores lawsuit rolls around cuz seven years from now. I mean, hold it may be a lot sooner. It’s it’s a jury trial, too. But can you imagine like depositions and testimony and evidence? Oh my god. But the thing is, you can’t pay that man off to make that. That’s I’m shocked. I I would think you’d be able to pay it off, but you give floors a price. I ain’t know that personal, but all right. Yeah. Real quick, though, I just want to ask uh Omar and Allen this. Uh his daughters now, it’s going to be a two-headed situation, right? Both daughters are going to be taking over. Uh, what could the Dolphin fans kind of expect or do? No. And no one really know anything about them. No one knows a single thing. Just I I don’t I don’t know if I’ve even ever seen them. I I would like to know what they look like. I saw a picture of one of them one time. You know what would be a good sign? If they moved to South Florida, like when they got the team, they moved down here and stayed down here. That’d be a nice sign. I see a woman after the games waiting on Ross and I think that’s his girlfriend. If it were his daughter then I’d be she always looks at me kind of weird like I know who you are and you know I’m not like but I I I really want to know if that’s his daughter or his girlfriend. Anyway, shot my waddle with the 10 pound uh donation. He said, “Hello, Chaps from England.” And I’m not going to do a British accent because it’s horrible. How much responsibility does McDaniel have with the roster building compared to Greer? I feel like McDaniel is being made the scapegoat when it should be Greer. I fear a couple wins they stay. Um, that is again Omar and Allen, you know, is it a a mutual thing or is it more uh Greer is doing what McDaniel wants or vice versa? I I’m a I believe Gre Greer is too much of a people pleaser to not do what McDaniel wants. Cedric Wilson is my ultimate evidence. I’m sorry, that’s not the best wide receiver that you can find, but it is the wide receiver that knows Mike McDaniel’s offense. So, I I have a hard time. Greer’s Greer’s way too much of a people pleaser to to not be giving Mike what he wants. Collaboration, baby. That’s what they do. Does that save Greer’s job? still here. No, no, no, it’s not because Steve Ross has given him the edict. You need to be act like you’re in charge. You gota now has he I don’t know. Okay. But that was given to him to to him this off season based on what I was told and you know and and he has addressed it himself saying I have been too passive and I need to have operate with more conviction and I I would say Kenneth Grant and Jonasaya scream more of a Ger Greer picks like Jaylen Wright screamed that’s that was a mic toy and Ali Gordon was probably a mic pick. And I don’t necessarily know if that’s a Mike talent. Um, but y’all know y’all know y’all know the time with Greer. It is what it is. Yeah. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know what happens down the line. But you you you ain’t firing your star witness. You’re not. But but I think it’s going to move pretty quick because um the ruling was yesterday. What ruling was yesterday? The federal court just ruled yesterday for F in favor of Flores. No, that No, it ru uh they already ruled that it’s going to go to jury trial. No, but they appealed it in federal. Oh, they No, that that appeal got denied earlier. No, there was there was a rule yesterday or the day before. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. They just ruled um the appeals court said no, those three teams, they cannot go to Goodell um arbitration. It’s going to court. But this is where the NFL should step in and just take care of it, right? There’s no taking care of it. Like to Yeah, there’s no taking care of it. Flores is going to get Flores wants to you to see how the sausage gets made. Brutin gonna take care of his. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. It’s a whole different circle. Uh one is and then the others, you know, we we’ll move on from that. Mike Bess with the Fiverr said, “Why are people giving up? I see a path to four and four. It’s a long season. There’s something where this team just put it together. I love you, man. Baby, 2016, they were one and four and they won six in a row. Don’t get on Mike. Don’t get on Mike. Love you, Mike. Keep keep the faith, Mike. Keep Man, I’m going to SeatGeek. I’m getting some seats to Mike’s comedy show. Man, listen. Uh, they are so close to mailing it in as a team. You can see I was going to ask you that. The fact that none of the players after the game, I’m like, how? None of the players what after the game wanted to talk after the game. No, they talked. Only person didn’t want to talk was Minka. They Mike walking through that tunnel. I ain’t I throw him like that. I never seen you’ve never seen him walk through the tunnel after a loss. Man, this one looks like he got jumped. I mean, it was bad. Hat on. He was like, I gotta go talk to Ross. How do you How do you How do you expect him to feel after going 17 losing a 170 lead? It’s your fault, man. It’s your fault. RJ with the 20 said, “This D is pathetic.” But two on the final drive. Bad pass to Waddle. Bad pass to Waddle. Then uh he had to save uh that he had to be safe being picked. Then a sack in the final drive. He’s not just booty cheeks, he’s booty cheeks after Taco Bell. Oh, he need you need a baby wipe for that one. And the first pass to Waddle was the wrong first thing. And again, I’m not excusing Tua. Why are there two receivers in in literally like two feet from each other? But also the better throw was to Malik on the outside. He threw it to Wadd. It wasn’t a bad pass. He was just covered. Yeah. Throw it to Malik who was on the outside. Wasn’t covered. It was But yeah, he he crapped his pants. That meme that’s all over the place. Yeah, 100%. Uh Fish Pilot with the Tener said, “Uh, in light of the latest Tyreek drama, the court documents, I really couldn’t believe the Dolphins brought him back this season. No way they didn’t know something. They teams know everything. They know everything. It is what it is. I appreciate the donation, but There’s nothing there’s not much to talk about. He’s not on the field anymore. So, um RJ with the $2 said, “Jents, I tagged you on Twitter. That pick is Tua.” Yeah, I know what? I didn’t see it. I got to go check it. Yeah, we’ll go check it out after the show. Uh it’s a 305 with the Fiverr says TD and 99% of our fan base are has mental health soiety check for the TDs they suffer from. [Applause] literally ignores reality to a derangement syndrome. By the way, everything on record admitting yes, I do have TDs. I It’s funny, too, because somebody posted um a graph with an image of that two is like top five, whatever in deep passes, and the picture of him throwing the ball is the worst mechanics you’ll see of anyone trying to throw deep pass. So I was I said that I’m like his passes are not great and someone’s like why would you say that in this picture like it’s a good post and you’re bashing him and I’m like because he’s horrible. I get that all day. Hey hey hey but Mr. 305 you notice you said 99% of our fan base. Maybe you’re the problem if you’re in the 1%. Something to think about. Uh Milton with the tour said they ran out right guard. Why couldn’t we just blitz the B gap? I don’t know, man. They blitz that when you got a blitz to stop the run, something’s wrong. That’s next level. The the play on fourth and five. Fourth and five. The one where they eventually Jaylen Phillips. Yeah. Um Oh, you mean the pressure right up on him, you know, at the in the critical moment when the pressure was coming. There was one play where Bradley Chub lined out so far. Yep. What are you doing? You’re gonna get him from from getting outside on getting to the perimeter and scrambled for the first down. That’s what he was doing. Well, you overran him to do that. You overran him. No, cuz the fourth and five play I’m talking about is the one where Bryce Young hit whoever on a corner route. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the pass. That was a great throw. I mean, this Oh, beautiful throw. Bradley was literally further over from the tight end and while I was watching the film I’m like you’re going to get chipped by the tight end and then you’re going to run into the left tackle and that’s exactly what happened. Beautiful throw under pressure is what it is. Uh Fins Up with the Fiverr said, “When’s the last time Tua had a game-winning drive when it mattered most? Cowboys 2024 and that was it?” That was 2023. I think Jacksonville. That was a game when the game was punch out. Correct. But they the game was tied and then they drove for a game. Yeah, he still he had to score it. Yeah. I guess uh Aaron with the Fiverr said, uh when I realize what I realize is that this franchise captain Savo with quarterbacks and head coaches, he Tua going to most likely be here. What team would save him? There are a lot of teams that will that that’ll have an interest in tool when he hits the market if he hits the market in trades, but we’ll discuss that end of the season. We’ll discuss your delusion in a later show. You don’t think Pittsburgh can use him when Aaron Rogers retires? Yeah. Yeah. Two to one that stadium in December and November. Sure. Sure. This cool. Lip Jones with the tenor. Uh, Russell Wilson played in it. He don’t got much of an arm left. Russell Wilson has twice, three times the arm to it has. No, not anymore. All right. Well, not anymore. Um, now it’s okay. Says, “Love the show, too. I had a good game until it mattered.” Agreed. Uh, can’t remember the last time he executed two-minute drills, but in all seriousness, Omar, how are you not a fan of sandwiches in the land of pub subs? What? I’ve had a public sub once in my life and I just can’t. Those are good, man. Seriously. Yeah. I I like hot meat in my sandwiches. I’m sorry, man. You got When’s the last time you had me? You’re lucky people don’t clip us. That’s all I’m going to say is you’re lucky people don’t clip us. Uh 305 of the Fiverr. Allan and Tar suffer from severe TDS. Florence has played four out of five alpha games and he blown up blown blow up. Oh my god for rain. No offer some criticism. Was it supposed to be sunny? See, and I get the reverse, right? I criticize Tua and then I’ll say something positive like I said before about certain things in the offensive line and people in the chat were like, “Look at this two in here. Doug doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s like we can’t win, man. Like two is at fault for everything. Let’s just keep it moving. No, that no. He’s the reason they can’t run the ball. He’s the reason they can’t stop defense. He’s the reason they can’t get turnovers to a reason we got less than two million. He What’s going on over here? Yeah. What’s going on? Tell me what the Fiverr said. Uh, when I die, I want the Dolphins to be my pawbearers. That way they can let me down one last time. Keep up the good work, guys. Uh I marks with the Fiverr says, “All this outside linebacker group does is sack hunt uh sack hunt and can’t get set an edge. Quinn Bell did a good job of that. Judon signing is another Greer bust progress blocker.” That’s a very interesting point. I don’t know what progress you block, but yeah, we’ll say that. I’ll say this, if things keep going this way, we might see these younger pass rushers because we’re gonna start trading some of these guys. So, gonna be a thing. Uh CJ with the tour says they hit bottom. Nothing uh backhoe wouldn’t fit. This ain’t bottom. Come on, y’all. I’ve been around for a while. Y’all know this is not It’s bottom with the talent that we have. Y’all know this is not It could get much worse. I don’t think they can get out of this. Oh, it could get much worse. Uh, Dolphin 345, been a member for five months, said, “Omar, if W versus L’s is a quarterback stat, then Tua is to blame.” I I’m I’m not arguing with you. Two is to blame for everything. Thank you, Hydro Wilson with the come to the dark side. Let’s just blame. No, you have it. No, you have I’m I’m there. I I don’t I don’t I don’t have any fight in me anymore. Like, it’s like you do the night fighting. stuff like I got two got to have a 200 Twa’s got to have 140 pass rated game and and a loss with the passer rating already you know you know you know about passer rating you know you know that’s my thing oh Hydro with the tour says how does the Hurricanes have the best quarterback in Miami and we back baby think in a row he can’t even hold to his jock strap don’t do that Omar he a winner he a winner Oh, really? Oh, I don’t want him in Miami, but he a winner. Bro, Mike, a guy with the Fiverr says, “I respire so much for not taking the the last route and putting everything on Tua.” No, we putting it. It’s all on Tua. LFP with the five assists. No one’s going to talk about some of the big pass plays on third down called back by holding. Yeah, there were a few. It happened against the Jets. It happened a few times. Yeah, there was in that last against Carolina. Yeah, there was there was one pass I think it was to Malik that got called back for holding. Um it happens at least once a se like not once a series but like once or twice a game where we’ll have a pass convert on like third and eight flag holding. Now it’s third and 13. That happens to every team. It call I remember Cole Strange tackle somebody tackled Derek Brown. Didn’t throw that quick enough for the holding. Uh Corinthius Stallings. What the f? That’s a cool name. Uh with the tener said, “Offence was responsible for 14 points. Defense was bad, but you had to produce more than 14 points on your own.” Okay. Offense I think was responsible for 21 points. But I hear the point that you’re making. Well, they had two takeaways. One of them get they got the ball at the 42, one at the 50. One was around midfield. Also, I mean, I think it was the interception was you still got to get it in the end zone, which No, you do. But that’s I mean, you start off at Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Toby with the tour says Jersey guy here, Doug from Newark up the Parkway. Forget about it. Christian with the Fiverr said that pass that W got his hands on that went over him. I’ve seen Tua make the same bad air sales ball so many times. Why we need to sell everything and that’s funny too because you look at Exactly. Exact. Oh me and Allan. Me and Allan because what I missed I missed it. The miss over the middle footwork 2023. Yeah, he’s hitting those passes like and now all of a sudden he’s just like and I don’t understand. I said he regressed and I got flamed by two of fans that I said he regressed. Dirty not working with certain people anymore. Why did he regress? Cuz he’s not working with certain people anymore. Oh, whatever. Please, man. T is in his head. He’s worried about getting hit. He worried about that O line letting him down. I’m not going to deny that. And I don’t say this with malice. He’s damaged in that sense. He’s damaged and and you need like like literally what he’s been through. You need two seasons to try to repair it. And this O line ain’t starting the healing process. So, it’s it’s done, man. We saw that. You bring up a great point. We saw that in 2022 where he came out and he was even saying it because for, you know, Flores and that whole offensive line, everything, it wasn’t good. And again, TD’s spot on. He needs to go somewhere else in all honesty. Like, let’s be honest. Go. He needs to go somewhere else like Stan Drew Brees like everybody say. Um, David with the tener said, “There are many issues with this team and I don’t I know this shouldn’t bother me so much. Why is Scheme playing to Alec Gingold like he’s Mike Alcott and Keith Buyers? He’s slow and doesn’t have hands.” Oh, did make me mad on that drop. Right. Why did he jump? Like giving a lot of touches. He like jumped to a good pass and he was going down sideline. He is absolutely a very underutilized player in my opinion. And he can actually than he if he’s if he if every time he’s on the field he’s he’s you’re running the ball. You’re telegraphing what you do. And I I I can’t stand that. You need to th you need to throw to him once again. At least that’s what they did. I mean, it’s like Yeah. I mean, yeah, but permission to use that face as a as a response on Twitter when people say ridiculous stuff because I’m I’m sorry. I I really do believe that that that Alec Engle, you cannot telegraph what you’re doing. And when you put Alec Engel on the field, you know you’re running. Like it was like when we took Gaziki off the field. Oh, they’re running the ball. Yeah. Yeah. Here’s Waller on the field. You know you throwing. Uncle Ron with the tener said the only thing that could affect an NFL owner is if he’s humiliated publicly in front of his friends and flunkies. If thousands of fans chance sell the team at Ross, then he will have to take action. Someone brought this up too and it definitely intrigued me. He wanted our bar so bad that if the Chargers come and spank them in his stadium, I think Mike McDaniel gets fired on Monday. Um Oh, not not out of the No, he did not want Harbaugh. He said Harbaugh was the one person that he was not going to pursue. In 2011, he flew out to California. 2011. Yes. Here’s the new contract. um fired him. You know how you get the Ross fly better at F1. No, you know what? That that sell the team chant might work. Might get his attention. I’m actually supportive of it if you want to do it. He’s not going to sell the team, but if you want to provoke change and you don’t like what you’re seeing on the field and they’re getting embarrassed against the Chargers, chant it. See what happens. Yeah, Toby with the tour said, “Greer signs uh an injured wide receiver instead of a vet D lineman.” Shake my head. You know who we could have used on uh Sunday? Cedric Wilson Jr. He has that familiarity with Tua. Maybe he would have thrown it to him instead of Westbrook. Um Mike with the five said, “Last question. Why don’t you guys ask McDaniel tough questions?” They these two get that get that a question a lot. Even David addressed it on Twitter. Is there rules from the Dolphins on what you can and can’t ask? Love you guys. No. Nope. And there’s also, by the way, what fans don’t understand is some fans want to have want us to ask like the got you question like put him in his place and all that. The core that’s not you can you can get to the question you want to ask without being disrespectful. There’s a level of respect involved here. Mike McDaniel is a good guy. He’s never been like a jerk to any of us. Nobody’s gonna when the question needs to be asked, it gets asked. Even if it’s not as hard of a question as you want it to be. I mean, you give me a send us a list of questions, Mike. Send me a list. You know how to find me. Send me a list of questions you want answered. Mike, I’ll ask him. I don’t care. Like, it’s also if you ask gotcha questions and kind of are a little bit of like dicks to him, does don’t you not get pointed out to get a question? Like, isn’t trying to Nobody’s pointing us out. We just take it. Oh, you just say like Yeah, we we just take it. There would be no repercussions. None. There would be no repercussions other than it’s like professionalism though as well. Very unprofessional and and there have been occasions and a lot of times it’s some radio guys or some like why exactly. Don’t you feel the need to apologize to fans for the bad product you put out there? And he literally was he literally was asked I think it was last year maybe some something along the lines of can you understand the fans would be like very frustrated by what you’re what you’re saying. Is that is that not hard enough? Is that not rude enough for you? I mean and he gave a great answer. Yeah. All right. Rapid fire. Here we go. Zack with the five says, “Do you think the Dolphins regret not taking Grey’s Zable in the first round?” Absolutely. Yeah. A lot of regrets. They would have never taken him. Uh Jonathan with the Fiverr says, “Jordan Phillips is your second highest graded runs stopper. Why is Butler taking more snaps? Why is Grant head coach uh Ha Halfley?” And then GM Mike Bradway wrote wrote head coach who’s who he wants. Okay. Who’s grading who the Dolphins? If the Dolphins thought Jordan Phillips was was higher graded in their in their eyes, he’d get more snaps than Matthew. He he is he did start the game over uh Kenneth Grant. So I I He meant he meant over Matthew Butler. Oh, I mean that I think that’s package based. Just my opinion. Okay. Uncle Ron with the Fiverr says, “Is Ross even aware that fans are angry or is he completely shielded from that?” I doubt he’s watching or this or checking X. Ross is very aware. He knows. He knows. He’s made very aware. He knows. There’s no way. And he’s angrier than you are cuz as I said, he made these decisions. She chose uh Justin with the threemonth membership. Appreciate you. You know it will never happen. But what if we go four and four seasons reset? Yeah, back at zero. That means that we we figured something out and then there is a chance. But correct. Yeah, I mean uh Sha with the Fiverr says, “How do you feel about this trade? Chub and a fourth for Shador Newsome and also what will take to get Chris Alave?” Now we Why do you want a guy who’s had six concussions in regards to Chris Alab? By the way, I I don’t get that from from Sorry, Omar. And Cleveland’s not making that trade. Sorry. Why not making the trade? Why? Because Greg Newsome is still a very good quarterback and Bradley Chub right now is is a diminished player. I don’t care about his four sacks. He’s a highly diminished player and and he’s on a one year he’s on a one-year contract. He’s a rental and Cleveland’s not going to the playoffs. Alan, you’re about to get blocked. Galaxy Profit Galaxy with the Tener says, “When it comes to player development, do you ever hear players and coaches talk about raw strength? I always hear about film and uh techniques, but never about the weight room.” Julian Hill, that’s why he plays. That’s the only one we’ve ever heard that about, though. Uh Christian, um we used to hear about it with Christian Wilkins or something like that. Christian with another fiverr. Thank God for October baseball. If not, I’d be, you know, watching uh what watching. Go Dodgers. You guys watching any of the MLB games? Also, let me let my man Allan speak. That’s right. You tell him, Christian. Um I’m a Mets fan, so obviously no. But I’m also watching the Phillies get their butts whipped by the Dodgers. Go Dodgers. And I’m watching the Yankees get their butts whipped by the Blue Jays. Go Blue Jays. So when those two teams are out, I’m done. I’m back to football. That’s how I am. Anyway, um Brad Boss with the tener said nine and 13 record dating back to the beginning last season. Tu was seven and nine in those games. Please tell these fans to be realistic. This hasn’t been a good team for a while and won’t be anytime soon. I try to tell people that. They they talk about, hey, we came back last year. I’m like, oh man. Uh, Dedricch with the Fiverr said, “Poop and Omar, contracts aside, one must stay for the next three years between Greer, Mike, and Tua. Who do you choose?” Love the show, fellas. Real quick, Omar. Oh, wow. I’m going with Mike. Alan. Mike. There you go. Marcus with the five. Can one of you guys that are able to ask Mike McDaniel questions inquire why Westbrook is not involved in the passing game? Uh, I think last week you did. Was it another last week? I believe it was. Um, and it ask to tell you, you know, I’m working on my chemistry with him. It It’s Mike. You lied. You said that last one was your last one. We appreciate the money, Mike. This is for poop. Uh, have Dolphin fans always been so fickle and such whiners? Good question. It is a good question. Here’s the thing, though. It’s more prevalent now because of social media that wasn’t a factor back then. Like when when Marino was in his heyday is basically sports talk radio and there was a whole lot of bitching when the Dolphins lost except it wasn’t as amplified now where you have Twitter all over the place. Real quick, didn’t the fans kind of push Schula out? Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. Oh, that’s on you guys, not us. Well, it’s also Uncle Uncle Wayne Hazinga, the previous owner, really really wanted Jimmy Johnson and and I believe the fans contributed to Dan Marino retiring because he because we went out in that final game. They weren’t I mean, he Marino was forced out. So, a fate member for Friday. I mean, he he was diminished. His knees were shot and Yeah. Yeah. But he didn’t want to retire like that. No, he was going to go to Minnesota and then he was like, “No, he he was going to go to Pittsburgh.” No, it was Minnesota. No, I’ve talked to him. He was going he wanted to go end it in Pittsburgh. He wanted that but he had he had like an offer from Minnesota. I guess because it wasn’t Pittsburgh he decided to retire. Fate been a member for five months. He says I was a two a fan. He’s not the answer. Do a Denver. That’s a lot of money. I didn’t say he’s the answer but he’s certainly not the problem. Tread thoughts with the fiverr. Am I wrong? Uh am I the wrong one for wanting to keep McDaniel and get rid of guila? I know it’s nearly impossible, but anyone uh want to make the case for it? Um, no. I I want my GM to have complete control. And again, if you’re in another situation where you say you have to work with him, you’re going to narrow down your search. And I’m tired of doing that. What what Doug said, uh, take what Tua with the tour said, “Trey Tua to the flag football league.” He would kill it in the flag football league. Olympics. No, he might do Olympics. Tell me what the tour said. Uh, why still we still haven’t run a draw play in four years off McDaniel WT? What do y’all Why do y’all want to run a draw when the screens work so well? What the Fiverr says, “Love the podcast.” Omar, I know you know football. You have to stop bumping up to it and his ratings. He doesn’t make plays in the last three minutes. I didn’t say he makes plays in the last three minutes, but Allan knows I am a passer rating kind of guy. That’s just what I believe for 20some years. Yeah. That pass rating indicates to you the kind of play, efficient play you’re getting. Yeah. It’s strictly based on the result of the play no matter how it was produced. But go ahead, Earl. Big Earl. Earl said, “Have you noticed Tula won’t buckle his damn chin strap?” Y’all need y’all You need all the protection you can get. Tua. Love the show, fellas. We appreciate you, Earl. Omar, what did that mean? He He’s got to talk. Like I most quarterbacks don’t buckle their chin strap because they got to talk. I didn’t think of that. I didn’t notice that. Yeah. Loosen it then. You know, loosen it a little bit. Yeah. Um, hey Miggy with the tour said, “Omar always changing Dolphins collective schedule.” Who told you? Hey, which one? We got We got leaks in the locker room. He got away in the locker room. Shadow fate with the fighter says, “Twa has regressed since 2023. I have come to the poo part side. Have to make sure your quarterback isn’t a little thing. May wasn’t special in college. Looks good. Now let’s pump the brakes on Dre May. Dre Mayude. Seriously? Really? Really, Doug? Dude’s gonna be doing fantastic May. Why? Why? Why? because this is a new offense. He’s getting his footing in a new offense and eventually teams are going to figure out that offense and and and take away what he’s what he’s doing. And how does he respond? It’s too early for Andre. But Omar, his plays aren’t even happening in the flow of the offense. He’s making something out of nothing. He’s extending plays. He I don’t disagree with you, but let’s not pretend. Let’s stop pretending he’s Josh Allen. He’s not. He better. No, but he’s mini He’s maybe a mini Josh Allen and he’s gonna And the reason the reason I’ll say pump the brakes is because people were super high on Trevor Lawrence and then he came down. Sometimes they come down. All I’m saying he fantastic. He’s been playing fantastic. Not knocking him. All I’m saying is just ballers ball. Let’s continue to wait and see the development. Here’s the thing. Trevor Lawrence never had these big moments early on in his NFL career. Even last year there were spot moments on a crap team where you saw Drake M would do something and be like, “Oh shit.” Yeah. Didn’t Justin Fields do certain things in certain situations? Yeah, he ran he ran the ball, which is what he does. At that game, all these quarterbacks you’re naming, none of them had a game that impacted. I am not a Germany moment. Let’s have a conversation about Drake, man. Two weeks. Let’s see. I’m Hey, I’m happy he beat the Bills. I’m happy about that. But I’m not ready to crown them yet. As uh what was the Cardinals coach? Crown their ass and crown their ass. Deon with the Fiverr says, “Is it me or does this whole two situation seem like the Tanahill situation where everything has to be perfect around them?” Um here’s the thing, and again, I’m going to get called it to an ear now. It everything doesn’t have to be perfect. It just doesn’t have to be the worst in the NFL. It doesn’t have to be. Oh, come on, dog. Seriously. Doesn’t have to be Tariq, you think the offensive line is not one of the worst in the NFL? It is one of the It’s bottom bottom seven to be top 10 because even in 2023, he didn’t have a top 10 offensive line. It doesn’t need to be perfect. He can play well in a mediocre offensive line. Am I wrong? I’m sorry. When is he in 2021? The excuse was the offensive line sucks. He’s got no wide receiver. Now the offensive line’s bad. When does it stop happening where it’s always one group of teammates position? I mean, seriously, enough of it has it has to be perfect. And that still ain’t gonna be good enough. And that’s what y’all don’t realize. I don’t think it has to be perfect. I just think it doesn’t have to be bottom. It won’t be good enough. Let’s just make it average. I’ll take that. Yes. Correct. And but right now, before Tyreek got got hurt, I hate to break it to you, but the wide receiver core was way more than average. And in in Han, he’s got a very very good running back. All of that doesn’t matter if the matter offensive line is boooo cheeks. So the offensive line I’m sorry. Did Dak Prescott not play with four replacement offensive linemen on Sunday or did I miss that? Did Did Baker make better than the offensive line has been? We’re getting off topic. We’re already 10 minutes over. Let me get to these last Okay, go ahead. Sorry. Uh Josh for two months. Give me Lewis Riddick and Darren Rzzy. Absolutely. I’m sign me up for that. Uh Carrie with the tour says Jeff George was a passer rating guy too Omar. Uh Deon with the Fiverr says feel uh for the life of me I can’t understand why they got Alec Gangold running a slant and wide receiver screens. I not expecting it. Call of Duty with the $2 said what happens to the fins dock series? They suck. Um with the fiverr uh fire gear first. I agree. Um, Shadow Fate with another Fiverr says, “Not saying May is great. Last night he made uh throws with guys hanging on him 100%. Something Tua, Kyler, and little dudes can’t do. May uh one in Buffalo, Tua hasn’t.” That is very true. Um, and then finally, Christian with the tour says Justin Herbert chin strap like a damn hair strap. He’s got he’s got the big like overhang thing over here. Herbert’s coming to town, people. Hey, man. He doesn’t do well going from the West Coast to East Coast. test. You know, I’m just saying no. None of that matters. We will see you guys on Friday 6:30. We are going to preview the Chargers game. Is someone getting fired? Omar. Omar’s got to set the time for us. I’m sorry. Is it 6:30? It might be. It might be. It might be 7 o’clock.
