I don’t I think what I’m interested in seeing is who’s the new GM and what is the trajectory that this new GM is going in? like is it uh 2026 we need to fix the money and we need money or is it 2026 we need to build a foundation because that’s kind of where Waddle being traded can come in. Um you know for a fact the Bills are kicking themselves they didn’t give us a 2026 first and a third because I think he would have been traded if they did. Um Omar is Waddles. No, absolutely not. For a first round pick that’s going to be pick number 28, 26 at the best. They might not make the playoffs. I don’t know, man. For W. No. No. I mean, Wadd’s about to be a thousand yard receiver for the fourth year in his career. Um I’m not sure many Dolphins receivers have ever and this this who you know who’s going to know this guy right here. How many Dolphins receivers have had four years of thousand yard rece reception seasons? Duper Clayton immediately come to mind. Maybe Irving Frier. How many years did he spend? Oh, Irving Frier was wasn’t with the Dolphins long enough. Okay. Yeah, it might be Duper Clayton. Maybe only two. Duper Clayton. Uh Chambers might have had it. Had it up right now. No, Chambers might have had only one actually. Yeah, he only had Yeah. 1,000 yard in 2005. Wow, that’s incredible. Right. But again, you have a lot of the the good ones didn’t last didn’t last very long with my Brandon Marshall had one or two, but he was gone. You know, sorry, Omar. Sorry. Jake Gray did it. Oh, yeah. Did what had three and he would Tyreek had three. I let my beef go with Jim Gray. Two. I I think we made question here. We’re delaying here with all this research. Yeah. Uh is uh Wadd still tradable? Yeah. I think we need What do we What do you get for him? Um what would you step for him? What would step for him? It would it would have to be a top 15 first round pick for me. Just bottom line. No. No. And again, it depends like Doug made a good point. depends what the overriding organiz or organizational philosophy is next off seasonason whether it’s a full rebuild or whether it’s and especially if it’s Champ Kelly Mike McDaniel and Tua as as a trifecta there’s no way to get rid See here’s the thing stop eliminating that stop eliminating I know it’s a possibility I know it’s a possibility but in my mind they got to win at least five if if we’re going to do Steve Ross standards it would be four of of six by the Wait, did you guys catch it? He did a did an interview, was it on CNBC, I think it was today. Steve Ross. Yeah. Yeah, there’s a clip on the social media not talking about the Dolphins. He was talking about a crap business of the NFL or whatever. Go ahead, Omar. No, no, he’s ashamed of what’s going on here. That’s why he doesn’t talk about it. Wow. So, it’s been four years now he’s in stock. So, so that’s why he doesn’t talk about it. Now, he’ll talk about business because he’s an expert in that and building because he’s an expert in that. He’s a he’s he’s he’s an amateur at owning a franchise team. Yeah, he’s the young is No, he’s not the youngest cuz there’s been some recent No, no, there’s a lot. He’s like in the middle of the pack in terms of And that’s the thing. You know what I find very interesting? Kim and the Jaguars owner Khan, what’s his name? Khan. Shak. Shad Khan, I think his name is. They both had Thank you, Doug. Thank you, Doug, for laughing it out. Nobody else got it. I I got it. Shaka Khan. Thank you. Um, him and that owner both had a same comparable reputation in terms of people, do you really want to work for him? And the Cohen Cohen dude who’s now the head coach, remember he turned him down initially. Yeah, he did. He turned him down. Did I said Yeah. And then and then they had to improve the offer, give him full power, let make him fire the GM, allow him to fire the GM and get his own GM. And that’s really the situation that Steve Ross is going to have to going to find himself in if he wants to land the the talent that he wants or he’s going to run it back with the with the mandate one more time and this time I’m really not playing around. Status quo will really not be accepted. We have Mike McDaniel as a as an owner. He just wants everyone to like him. Listen, here’s why. My theory he won’t do what part is saying that he’s going to do. I do know it’s a possibility he can because he scared of the hiring process. Yeah. But I believe he won’t do that because his CEO, the business manager, the man who has excelled in everything he touches, the man with the mightest touch will tell him, “I can’t sell this.” Sure. Who? Who? Who? Tom Garfinkle. Garfinkle. Okay. Yeah. So, I got a question. says, “I can’t sell this. Steve will be forced to to to to do the hard thing.” So, being that we’re talking a little front office here, I got a question because Connor Ore and Albert Brerier had on I think it was Monday, they had a conversation talking about how everyone, all the owners are talking about how Mike McDaniel is kind of a hot commodity if he does get fired and he’ll like instantly get a OC job and probably get, you know, do you think Steven Ross sees what or hears what everyone is saying about that and goes, I don’t want to let him go yet. Like, oh, you know, if everyone likes him, maybe, you know, blah blah blah. Do you think there’s that aspect to it? It’s funny cuz I was just writing something and I I’m sorry if I’m hogging the show. I’ll I’ll allow others to shocker. Here, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Here. Here. Omar, come on. the Omar Collective with Omar Omar and Omar. I deserve all of that. I I deserve all of that. Um, okay. Make your damn point already. So, the the chattering about Mike McDaniel, is that what’s keeping Steph? Yeah, I’ I’ve heard I mean Mike especially the six offensive lineman now like people are looking at it like wait a minute like wait a minute like this is kind of genius and like that’s what what are you licking that face for? I knew I mean sir sir like like first of all we’ve asked Mike McDaniel how come you don’t use a six lineman and first of all we did I know and and it’s like and I’m sorry if I if I’m cutting you off and stealing away from your spotlight but you’re basically with Waller on IR because the move came after Waller went on IR and it’s like the passing game is Wadd and who else? Okay, let me try something else. Oh about a six offensive line. I mean, it’s good creative problem fixing, but let’s not pretend, you know, he just invented like No, no, no. But he stumbled upon it. And he stumbled upon it. He’s like, “Holy crap, this crap works. Let me do this and do this and do this and do this and do this. Create this and this.” And and it’s like it’s invented an offense for him that people haven’t figured out how to stop yet. And now they’ll probably figure it out eventually, but it’s like you can run through it. Washington. So that’s I mean Huh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but you did just build up mobiles with it. Have you noticed we lost Doug? Doug’s not interested in our conversation anymore. He said, “The hell with those guys. I’m leaving.” I had to take care of something. Um, it but people are talking about Mike is a Mike is a genius. That’s the only way I’ve ever heard him described by anybody. They don’t say he’s a leader. They don’t say he’s a great phenomenal coach. He’s an offensive genius. He’s an offensive mastermind. He’ll get a job like that. Yeah. But why would he? You’re going to have he’s going to have offset language in his contract. Why would he want to work? Like you’re working for free. You go take a job doing something else. And people saw his interaction with Debo and was like, see the players like him. But my push back to that was you’ll have some players in the entire locker room that will like you. It’s about coaching the entire locker room and I feel like that’s where he lacks as a head co. He’s a fantastic OC. And like I said, Brian Flores was a fant is a fantastic defense coordinator, but it’s about being a head coach and I think for me anyway, that’s where Mike McG lacks is the head coach ability. TD, you’ve been awfully quiet. Oh, I just didn’t want to, you know, cut Omar off, but no, I’ll just play it. Um, first I’mma go back to the waddle tradable. Um, in that last episode we were talking about that. I know. I know. I never said, but it’s No, it’s all good. Um, Wadd Wadd is definitely tradable. I think here’s what’s going to happen in the offseason. Buffalo set the standard of we’re in division, so we got to give a little more. It was first and third. We didn’t have a problem with it. We just had a problem with the placement. The first two years from now and not not next year’s first. I get it. I get it. But you know what? Since all we have is Wadd and A Chain, all they got to do is finish the year out strong and that’s going to be the starting bid. And I think in the off season, you’re going to have four or five teams lined up to make that offer. Especially since they’ve already paid the freight of the contract. Yeah. Yeah. And you might get a first and a second out of it if he playing great football. People will People will fight for what they want. Look at the desperation Buffalo is in now. They know Buffalo might come right back to the table and say first and second. They mighty Tyreek Hill got a one of two two fours other picks two fours on a Tyreek Hill sorry was on a whole different other level than Jaylen Wadd and I get it. Allan, the thing you got to consider, whatever level was three years ago, this is the new price. It’s going up. No, no, it’s not. No, it’s not. No, it do your look. Look what AJ Brown got traded for. Thank you for one for one number one. It all depends on the circumstance. W isn’t disgruntled. Wadd isn’t having a contract dispute. Wad isn’t having any of those factors that he’s not a diva, which I think you’re going to be diva. He does. He’s going to get good premium because he’s not suggesting AJ Brown is a diva. Is that where you’re going with this? Well, now I mean, sorry, but I’m just saying I think that we we’re going to be shocked at offers we hear about Waddle in this upcoming off season. And I think that we might actually get an offer that can’t be refused. And I think that they could end up trading. So if if a team said a first and a second, we’re going to turn it down. Depends on where it is. Kansas City’s first and second. No thanks. I understand when you’re saying we’re not getting it if a team Well, y’all said we wouldn’t get the first and the third. No, I’m just saying you the first again as I mentioned or the first was in 2027 if and then by draft rules basically in the draft value you go down a round. So technically the second and a third. I I’m not I’m sorry. it when it was the Giants who definitely were interested because Dbo was trying to save his job. You’re gonna have that. You’re gonna have If the Giants had a first round pick on the table, I would have taken it. That probably would have been a top five pick. Mhm. But it wasn’t. So, you understand what I’m saying? I can’t say he’ll never be traded because I don’t know who’s going to be running this franchise. I don’t know what their thought process is. I can tell you just about every person except for Mike McDaniel gets here and they say restart, reset, start over and I expect that to be done here as it should be. Um, next person, Devon Han, man I talked to and had the opportunity to chat with. You had the opportunity to chat with him. What happened? You had the opportunity to chat with Han. I missed that. I’m sorry. Oh, yeah. I went on Tron’s channel. I had a I told the the guys how I how I was briefly informed about how you maneuvered that how you flirted with that. The story is a is a funny one. Um but yeah, should he be paid the big bucks now? Uh it depends on the type of back and what you put the value at the different backs, right? Because you know, Ahan is going to see himself as a three down back and an every down back. Even though, you know, he also considers himself they he said Tron asked him he is a three. If you if they asked you to play slot fulltime, would you do it? And he was like, “Yeah, I’ll go. I’ll play slot.” Um, so it’s that, you know, Swiss Army knife of the offense. Where do you put that value? Um, I’m for keeping him obviously. I’m for having that one-two punch with him and Ali. You know, you have a bruiser of a back paired with Devon Achan. So, I’m for keeping him. I just don’t know what the definition of big bucks is. So, he’s I’ve I’ve already written a column about it. Um he’s probably going to be looking for 25 million in guaranteed money, $50 million contract. Um, the Dolphins are years. Years don’t matter. Just guaranteed money matters. I don’t even care about years. Um, one year, one year, one year. Omar, Omar’s philosophy on contract. One year, 50 million years don’t matter. You know what it is. I don’t a 10year deal for $50 million. Like, you know, the deal in the NFL. Sorry. Sorry if you do not follow me. In the NFL, a contract in my mind is only as long as the guaranteed money is there. If you have two years of guaranteed money or three years of guaranteed money, that’s how long your contract is. So, what are you what are you thinking? Guaranteed at signing or I could literally name the players who have signed more than four-year deals and have finished their contracts with this team. I can name them. Go ahead. I know you would challenge me. Um, hold on. I’m not going to do that cuz it take too long. When When you’re talking guaranteed, are you talking like total guarantee of the entire contract or like at signing? Because I have all the rankings here. So, I just want to see where we could put I only deal with guaranteed initial signing, but then what the real guarantee is is I’ll give you your con I’ll give you your third year if you’re on the roster in 2026. And so, yeah. So sometimes it it you have to read the language of the contract. Generally most contracts are guaranteed for the first three years. Your top five right now guaranteed at signing is Saquon 36, Ashton Genty 35.8 Henry 24, Christian McAffrey 24, and then BJ Robinson uh Bjan not BJ Bjan Robinson 21.9. That’s a rookie deal. You can’t count, you gotta exclude the rookie deals um because those are slotted based on where they were drafted. And I think some of those deals, those are current deals or those are all time current. Okay. Because I think Derrick Henry has a higher guaranteed figure and I think Saquon Bark is number one, right? Yeah. 36. Okay. Yeah. Um Oh, what about the one in Indianapolis? 19.3. So, if you take Bean’s rookie out, he would be number five with 19. Here’s why, like for Omar, like here’s why I love to consider the years because I see what you’re saying. Only the guaranteed money matter. That’s that’s a fact. But here’s why I consider it. If I Yeah, I don’t know why I’m praising Nova. But, um, hold on, hold on, hold on. Little bit going on here. Why I consider the years because I like like the one and twoyear contracts, it’s important to know for reasons like this. Look at Saquon Barkley’s contract, right? It’s a 2-year 41 million. But 36 million guaranteed. So, he’s going to see the entire 41. It’s a two-year deal. He’s going to play that second year. So, he gonna see it all. Hold on. Hold on. I got to look at Son Barkley’s contract. I I don’t know the figures because I know it just got redone. So, I can pull it up. It’ll look weird in here, but essentially 2020. So, this year it’s uh it’s a $6.6 6 million cap hit. Por option is 3 million, signing is two, base is one. Uh same as next year. Next year base is one, signing is two, option six, cap hit nine. I’m sure he got like three void years then. He’s got four void at the back end, but he’s still under contract for 2027 and 2028. So I I would have to look at it and I I’m not saying bring it up. I would have to look at it to tell to be able to tell you the specifics of it. Believe what you just said, Doug. That’s No, I don’t I don’t believe any any You have to be able to know what a contract how do contracts work to like Jesus. I can’t so serious around here. James Cook is by the way. James Cook is Okay, here’s the here’s the point. One, I’m not signing a chance to a major deal. Cook’s deal is Dvin Cook’s deal is probably what No, James Cook, not Dvin. James Cook’s deal is probably what they’re going to ask for. I’m not signing Achan to a mega deal this off season. I’ve learned my lessons of the past. He’s a running back. I would probably ride out his second year unless he takes 75 cents on the dollar and then I’d probably franchise him. If he makes it through two years without fully healthy, then I would pay him. Unfortunately, he’s probably going to demand a trade long before that. Huh? Holden. Yeah. Yeah. He’s gonna keep and and I’m getting Hugh Holden and I’m getting Mr. Ali Gordon ready to go. I don’t I don’t care. I don’t like Hold on, Omar. It’s interesting you bring this up because and I know Achain isn’t on the docket, but this is very interesting to me because when we talk about trade him at the deadline, everybody scoffed. But this is a high probability situation that might happen where you’re going to tag you might tag him or trade him because we’re not going to pay the big bucks that we know he’s going to get on the open market. I have control. No, he’s not going to necessarily get that on open market. I have control of Han for the next for the next two years. And oddly, Pupardis was right when he said the Dolphins have control of Tua for the next two years last year. They don’t have to do this. And he was thousand% right. Y and I back then I said you were right. But you do it in good faith to send the right example to the rest of your team and send the right message to the rest of your team. Yeah. In your faith. Blow up in your face. To me, Achain is either a part of the future or he’s not. And if he is, you might as well go ahead and give him his He’s a back and a small one at that. How part of your future three years from now? He’s virt. Yeah, he’s because he’s a running back. We we we sit here and we talk about to his size, which is a factor, to his durability, which is a factor. And here we are 6 years later, we’re all looking at him like, “What happened to him?” Mhm. Like, you don’t think that’s going to happen to Han in two years? Like, oh, I know. I’m just telling you what I think is going to happen with the Dolphins because I was saying at the deadline, if you can get a second rounder right now, take it. Absolutely. You should have. Y Well, here’s a better here’s a better question. Would you keep Tua if he took a pay cut? Now, we all know Tua is not taking a pay cut because that money is money unless you do the whole Steven Ross checkeroo and move things and add things and turn things around. Um, and you’re just kicking the can down the road though if you do that. It’s about clearing that cap space. Um, I guess it’s more about your faith in Tua and I guess could he be that bridge quarterback and do you see him bouncing back from two bad years? Yeah. Omar n I’m not gonna start. Nope. We’re all waiting on chomping at the bit over there. I um again I would keep two or just for another year. Um I I if he took a pay cut, it would have to be too significant to the point of where he’s not going to take a pay cut. Um and that’s that’s my biggest thing of it. But I understand the the actual, you know, um what’s appealing about him taking a pay cut because I always say this, Tua’s not a bad quarterback. Tua’s not a average quarterback. Tua is not even an above average quarterback where I used to think he was. Tua is a good quarterback. Um can he take you to the promised land? I don’t believe so. but he can hold an organization down long enough to where you you feel like you had the opportunity to go get a guy who can. And that’s where we are as a team. You’re going to pay him anyway, build this thing around him. And as you’re building, if the if he shocks the world, great. If he doesn’t now, just go get the real quarterback in. You already got it built. So, I don’t I’m not even so much opposed to a reunion plus another. I know people going to go crazy when I say this, more than one year reunion with Tua. I’m not opposed to it. And it gives him another opportunity to maybe prove it, but y’all got to understand where we’re going to be for the next two years anyway. This is not going to be like the greatest team in the NFL unless he shocks us and he’ll get that opportunity. Um, so I’m all about the team. This ain’t about whether Tua or no Tua. I think that’s the safest way for Miami to build this thing around him because you’re paying him for the next two years and then on the back end of that he one year. Yeah, but you still got a little bit left over. Yeah, you can move on in two years. So y’all saying we only got one year to deal with money and then there’s no cap implications moving forward. I think there might be four million tied in. That’s pocket change to Steve Ross. Oh, another eight. I believe another eight becomes guaranteed if he on the roster in March. If I’m not, he will be on the roster in March. He will be on the roster in March. Is he will March of March 26? Then he’s got three million. That was the kicker million. Three million. That that is pocket change to Steve Ross. So you don’t Well, well, I say stay as [ __ ] for one year unless he shocks. but build around him and you could just replace him if it ain’t if he ain’t doing nothing in a year or two if it warrants that. So, uh, TD, are you if you’re talking about dead cap, there is a $34 million 34.8 million still counting against the cap. Yeah. So, what’s the difference from just keeping them on the roster? If you’re going to be counting against the cap anyway, 34, what’s the point of if he’s not performing up to par, they’ll move on to 34. It’s not the same as 99. Seriously, that’s a big difference. No, what I’m saying, Allan, is still hitting anyway, though. Like, he could be your bridge a second year if you need a second year bridge. Again, yeah, but depends on how he performs to me. He’s going to be on the roster. He’s going to be on the rush in 2026 and he more than likely, Omar, you’ll love this because I know that’s always used to be your famous line. He’s probably still going to be better than probably anything you can get in the draft as a rookie because the Dolphins aren’t going to pick high enough. And chances are there’s probably not going to be a veteran available who’s going to be a clear upgrade. So, might as well go with him since, as you mentioned, he his cap’s going to count anyway. Um, but then you better better ball out next year because after that then yeah, we’ll lead to 34 million. I I I I actually agree a lot with TD at this moment. The quarterback that I watched the last month to a tongue of Aloa without Tyreek Hill. Tuongalo is a bridge quarterback. M now the two this version the 2025 version the 2024 version that that guy is an MVP candidate no 23 version I’m sorry that guy is an MVP he was an MVP candidate in December don’t y’all lie you built a hell of a team around him you had like what y lie don’t y’all lie Tyreek was the MVP candidate yes he was But so was Tua. Um, and that if he I have to see how he finishes the season cuz if he can get back some kind of form, some kind of confidence, throw it some kind of conviction, maybe get Darren Waller back so he can diversify what he’s utilizing because right now we all know what the offense is. Hane a waddle. Hane a waddle. Hane a waddle. like, you know, and maybe we sneak a past the Malik Washington or maybe we sneak past the Julian Hill. Like, come on, man. Y’all act like we they got any weapons. Um, but I’m not making any excuses for Tua. This is No, not at all. You never No, wouldn’t do that. I’ve made them in the past. The excuses are done. Like, I have I will acknowledge I have made them in the past. The excuses are done. That’s not the same quarterback that I saw in 2020. It’s not. and and he will tell you that he’s not, which is, you know, the weird thing. But if he’s faltering physically, chances are that’s not going to get better. Such an issue if he’s off with the timing, man. A little HGH, you never know. No, you’re right. You’re right. H blood blood doping. Go take a trip to Germany. You have no idea what what could happen. Like I’m I’m not saying that that happens, but Oh my god. Experience. Let me let me let me ask you guys a question since we’re on the tour discussion. Why is he the best court? No, I’m just kidding. What? So, say the Dolphins get a new GM, which you know, hopefully they do, and say the new GM wants to move on from Mike and Steven Ross is like whatever you want. I just want to build a winner finally, yada yada. What are what do we what are Yeah, that’s the question. What if Tu wants to trade? What if Tua doesn’t want to play for another quarterback? You got to have a tradeable first. Exactly. But that’s kind of you can you can you can incorporate that into would you keep to if he takes a cut to be treated. His tradeable market depends on who’s the head coach. I think a tradeable market depends on who needs a quarterback, who’s positioned to go get a quarterback. What is New Orleans situation? Because I think two I think two in New Orleans would be would work wonders. What is New Orleans? Huh? He needs that though, man. I think it actually would work wonders for him. 49. depends on honestly and if y’all want the true workings of the NFL, it depends on who his agency runs from a GM and head coach standpoint, whose partnership that is, and they work in these backdoor deals and they figure it out and, you know, they and they funnel him there and they get him the head coach that he wants and blah blah blah blah blah. It it this is all stuff that’s that’s so deep throatish and but he does have a market. Now where’s Brian Dable gonna go as an offensive coordinator? I promise you where Dable goes he’ll have a market there. Like it’s it’s you know it depends. Nope. I say nope. It’ll be $54 million though. That’s a lot of that’s a lot of money. That’s that’s the big diminishing player. So no. What? what GM is looking at the Dolphins season when I go on like, “Oh yeah, I got to get this guy on my team. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you It’s not necessarily that, more the Dolphins trying to make a deal. Like, look, you need quarterback. We understand the contract’s this. Let’s work on something. Let’s move money around. Let’s do what we need to do.” I don’t know what y’all looking at, but there are a lot of teams. And listen, I’m a main person to tell y’all two ain’t got no trade market, but when you really break down these teams out here, he might have a market. You got Look at what’s happening in Atlanta. Look at what’s happening with the um Giants. Look at what’s happening in Arizona. Look at what’s happening with the Raiders. I mean, this stuff is out here. Like there are some desperate general managers that’s gonna be like if I could just get a guy to steer the ship and don’t like blow it in even the easy games. Oh yeah, give me two of them. Bring them on in here. I ain’t ask a portion of that contract. Help us out. We’ll we’ll send you a fifth. Listen, the money I’m not even worried about. We going 20 million for example. 220 million. 225 million for a fifth. I think how much you can send another team. Do y’all not realize we are going to pay every penny? It’s just a matter of moving him. I think Steven Ross is going to pay a 80% on that. He’s going to pay it. I’m going to check, but I think there’s a max on how much another contract, but but they can rework his deal where they pay him $40 million in a signing bonus right now and then the other team and then trade him and the other teams do the rest of the contract. So, there’s always a work. You can move it around. So, both teams get cap relief. There’s always a workound. don’t believe there’s a cap on how much a team can say here take my player but there are a lot of general managers right now that might need a guy like at least five there’s five can we finish the season can we finish the season and see how he perform TD as it stands right now what general manager is looking at the Dolphins saying oh yeah I got to get that guy on my team New Orleans but you’re think look at the Jets right now. And and and I’m not talking about the Jets, but new general manager. They got some securities. They know they got a clean house. They already started. Who can man the ship to where we can win seven, eight games and not be an absolute embarrassment while we figure this out? But that’s a franchises aren’t looking for for a quarterback to get you to seven wins. Seriously, I know. Look at the Dolphins the last 20 years. sweep. They’ve been looking all adding somebody who can stabilize. Crap. Are you taking a shot at Tua? Omar, is that what you’re doing? Chad Henny. Finally, we’re going to pivot and actually fix this damn thing. Chad Pennington. Let’s keep going down the rich quarterback this one. Yeah. So, we just need a guy to just manage the game while we hand the ball to Ricky. Let’s keep Jay Feedler here. Then Ricky’s like, “I’m retiring. I ain’t doing this no more.” Um, but Todd McShane made a great point that in the top 11 picks, there’s seven teams that are going to need a quarterback. And there’s seven quarterbacks to be had. Exactly. And that’s where the Dolphins can be like again, we’ll work. Let’s work. Again, this isn’t Allan. We’re not saying that, you know, Tua has a market and they’re banging at the door like, “Hey, let’s go. We want to.” No, we’re saying as a team we’re going to call some people and be like, “Do you need a bridge quarterback?” Cuz we have a guy. We’ll move some things around. We can make it work. There’s seven teams. Give us a bag of pennies. Why would you trade your bridge? Are the Dolphins one of those seven teams? Because they want to be worse in 2027. Are the Dolphins seven teams? Yes, Omar. They want to be worse. Do you want one of those top quarterbacks in 2027? Want to be worse. Bro, listen. Y’all y’all are sitting here like romanticizing all these quarterbacks when they’re really not that good. And then we could and then we can go into next year’s draft. We can say, “Oh, let’s do it for next year’s draft.” Remember those quarterbacks that were supposed to be good this year that are not good this year? The one from LSU, the one from Penn State like No, no, no, Omar. Um, one of them I’m about to show y’all this weekend by the way. Um, from Colorado. I’m just saying. So, Okay. He’s talking about Shador Sanders. But so Omar, you want what? Five more years of with Tua as a quarterback. No, no, no, no, no. I’m I I don’t care anymore. I don’t care. I am at the point. They broke you. They broke him. I I ain’t playing with y’all. I watched the Giant I watched the Washington game and I’m like looking at him like, “What is that? He got run down by a 310b man. You go overseas to get your eyes checked. Get clean. Hey, the water was different. Madrid water. Hey, anytime you don’t like Omar take, send him overseas to Madrid and bring him back. He’ll be all right. It was that Spanish water. He took a shower, hit him in the face. He was like, I I I’m hoping it’s a bad day. I’m I maybe it’s really people have this theory that it’s the hip injury. I don’t know. But that guy can’t move here. Here’s my here’s my thing about talking about like you don’t know obviously you don’t know anything about any of any of these draft picks because again you go back in time Drake May is going one. You go back in time like all these different quarterbacks will go one versus where they actually went. It’s about putting yourself in the opportunity to get these guys. And the Dolphins for me in 2026, it’s about fixing the cap. And the Dolphins, and I I kept telling people this this offseason, they were not tanking this year because they added veterans who are not going to quit. And they added veterans who are good enough to get you more wins than you needed. You’re right. You’re right. Because look at 2019. We we went out there with a practice squad team every week. The only reason we won the games we did is because we had Ryan Fitzpatrick as a quarterback. If they wanted to tank that year, you put Josh Rosen as the quarterback and you would have tanked. They weren’t tanking this year. But next year, if you get the GM and the head coach where they’re both like, “Yeah, we need to clear this cap up and we need to get the quarterback.” They’re not going to do that. Come on. They’re not going to do that. For what though? There’s no There’s like people were talking about um Manning. You got to put yourself in the opportunity. Oh, the Manning quarterback was going to change football. That guy sucks. Like, hey. Hey, hey, Arch. He have his moments. He’s no Shadore. That’s definitely no Shador. He ain’t perfect timing. Listen, it it it’s like, you know, you know what you need as an organization? A good evaluator. A good evaluator. Kansas City didn’t need the tank. Kansas City didn’t need the number one pick. You know what they did? They said they identified Patrick Mahomes when everybody was like, “Is he a first round pick? Is he not a first round pick?” Oh, I don’t know. We will see. And then they moved up, drafted him, and the dude sat him for a year, and the dude is the best player in the NFL in in his second season. Like he good at evaluating talent and developing talent. Yeah. Wrong. Like Lamar Jackson, damn, the boy won trophy. Like talent. Green Bay got Aaron Rogers when they had Brett Favre and they got him 24th in the first round. Yeah. after that even with Jordan Love. Yep. Like one of these kids, one of these kids might shore Sanders the situation and wear his bling to to press conferences and tell everybody I don’t want you drafting me and you don’t know these kids are different. This is the NIL. These kids are arrogant as crap. Yeah. Like they’ve been millionaires. You will Some of these guys might take a pay cut coming to the NFL. Some of them that’s some of them that’s what they doing. They and they might decide they going to pick their destination. They not gonna go where they drafted. I want to go to this team. This is a totally new generation of athletes. Did Quinn take to get drafted to the Dolphins? Did Quinn Eurers take a pay cut to get drafted? Yes, he did. Quinn Quinn Yurs I’m told by an agent who knows Quinn Yurs was offered $3 million this year to go quarterback UNCC and for for Bill Bichic and he turned it down and was drafted in in in the seventh round and is making like $2.8 million in four years backing up. You don’t want to be a part of that. That a bad business. A very bad one. Last one we’ll talk about long-term future of Austin Jackson, which is an interesting situation because when he’s on the field, he’s solid, right? I’m not going to sit here and say like best right tackle or even top 10. He’s solid, but it’s when he’s on the field, what do we do with Austin as I pull up his contract? What do we do with Austin Jackson? Depends on who’s the head coach. Punt punt. depend on it. They they restructured his contract. So, more than likely when they do that, they they’re committed to him for next season. I don’t I don’t know. Um where can I find million hit next year? 15.8 15.8 cap number next year. Yeah, they only save like two million. The dead cap’s 13. His cap hit is 15. They don’t really unless they do post June one, but they may need to do that for both Tyreek and Chub. He already got three voidable years. Correct. He out of here. You’re not saving anything though. You’re not saving after the contract. I don’t see unless he just balls out. He’s out. He’s not a guaranteed money. He’s not a guaranteed money after this year. Um again, I say you’re allowed June one. Hold on. We’re allowed two post June one cuts per year and they’re going to use those on Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chub. So Tyreek’s more on a post June. Oh, big time. I I I don’t say that about Chub anymore because I actually believe now. Um Chub is they might sign him. Oh, it is. It’s 36 million. Yeah. keep around. Um, Chub is playing well and he’s developing into like the one of the team’s top leaders and my Yeah, my bad. What know how long do you go down that road with him though? Because he’s a leader. I like that piece of it. But here’s the problem. You guys, if you’re like, do y’all actually think they’re going to build this team to try to win next year? like, “Oh, man. We got him. Oh my gosh. I don’t know why we keep ain’t getting no younger, man. I I But I think everything we bringing in is going to be young. Just dra picks. That’s it. That’s development. You need some veterans to show them the way. And and I I’m with Omar. I could very well see a scenario where they they wound up reort, which is what they did this year. I’m talking quality Allan. When they hit free agency, are we going after quality free agents to help us?” No. No. because free agents are too expensive now. And I am here’s the thing about free agency. I don’t think every GM that’s been part of this organization has gone out and said I want to spend big and buy the biggest free agent that’s out there. I don’t think that that’s their desire and that’s their goal. The problem is I think that’s Steve Ross’s desire and Steve Ross’s goal. It was and and he wanted when Steve and Steve Ross has told me this is a direct quote. Free agency is when I could get in the game. When I could play, I know how to spend money. He didn’t say that part, but that’s when he’s like, I don’t know talent, but I know how to spend money. And he’s paid trying to lose that. Uh, and he’s been the highest paid player at his position. Mike Wallace has been the highest paid player at his position. Um, the offensive lineman from Kansas City was the highest paid player at his position. Come on, Brandon Albert. And Dominican Sue was the highest paid player at his position. Um, Byron Jones. Byron Jones was the highest paid player at his position. Uh, I’m not done. Tyreek was the It says he was for a bit. He was actually for like a minute. Yeah, Steve Ross has no shame in the game when it comes to spending money. He overpays, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Everybody know he loves that reputation. He loves the reputation that he overpay because it always gets him a seat at the table. But the last two off seasons, they went away from that route. If you notice, I read the the free agent signings. The most expensive free agent signing they had this off seasonason was James Daniels and it was three for 24 total total possible value. Omar, I know that’s not the real value of the deal, but he put his credit card away this year and last year they they were a little bit more conservative with the money that they spent. You’re right. They were they were like, “Yeah, we went and put on three deals. We went all in on in 2022 and 2023. It’s not quite working out. We need to slow down. Although all Yeah. Wasn’t Jaylen Ramsey the highest paid player in his position too? He was. Yes, he was. Like it’s like it’s like seven or eight players Steve Ross has made the highest paid player at his position. He don’t play about that. So I don’t think no matter what he’s like that’s what he is using to sell to his GM and to his owner. I will do what you want me to do if that’s what you want me to do. That’s a strong strong um you know um case for a new GM. All right, cuz it’s someone out here that won’t spend a penny. That’s true. Let’s get to these donations. 722 watching again. Almost at 10K subs. Be sure to hit the subscribe button and be sure to hit the like button. Garb with the tour says, “Anybody see the film on Zeke Bigggers last week?” He was moving people. Very, very, very solid game he played. Very happy with that. It was like 1990 Dolphins, dude. I was banging the table early. Nobody was listening to me. Gian banging the table early in the season. I was harassing the coaches and nobody was listening to me. Like, why is he not playing? I’m sorry. What? What were you saying? He was see what I did there. Ian with the tour said, “Doug, our new GM is Kelly. We’re running it back.” I don’t think they run it back with Kelly, to be honest with you. Uh I could see them running it back with McDaniel. I put a new video out today talking about that. Uh it’s I’m at 6040. 60. They don’t They could He’s got to win. He’s got to win. For me, if I’m the owner, he has to get to the playoffs for me to bring him back. If not, it’s just redundancy. exactly why he should be fired. Um, but I don’t think Kelly comes back. I think they get they have an opportunity to get a better GM. I don’t know about that. It’s two different, Doug. It’s two different stories of what we think is going to happen and what we want to see happen. What we think should happen. Yes, that’s true. There there he’s not Pubard’s theory is not far-fetched. It’s It’s very on point because Steve Ross does not want to do this crap again. Don’t put that letter out that you did this year. Huh? Don’t put that letter out that you did this year. Prime example is what Ian said. $5 donation. Isn’t missing the playoffs the status quo? How will Ross spi spin in keeping McDaniel? Cuz he fired Greer. He thinks the fans think that’s enough. Exactly. You put out this letter to the fans saying status quo is not good enough. Yet six and two and six and two and then you bring them back. You are pretty much saying status quo is good enough and we can expect six and two in 2026. No question. Go ahead. He’s he’s going to spin it by saying the we we identified the issue was more in the scouting we think Mike is the right guy to lead us where we want to go. So it’s not So was that letter was that letter specifically addressing Mike Greer or Mike and Greer? Mike and Greer. Mike and Greer. So, it wasn’t just Mike. It was a statement to to the media. It wasn’t a letter to the fans. It was Yeah. But it was about It was It was a letter technically kind of Okay. I didn’t know he And it was curated not by Steve Ross, but you all get the point. Yeah. It was It was It wasn’t like he he he said those words. He signed off on it. Yeah. Uh, number one Heat fan with the Fiverr said, “Did Omar just treat Allan as though he was an AI search engine app? Don’t you have to pay for that?” Yes, you do. How many years have I done that, Alan? I’m like, a decade of doing that. How do you think How do you think we formed this friendship? Wow, that makes me feel I mean, all warm and fuzzy over here. The funny thing is when I was down at training camp, I had Allan was like I think for both days you were like a seat next to me and I’d be watching tweeting and then I I’m like who the hell is 40 blah blah blah and just he would just say his name. He wouldn’t even look up. He would just be blah blah blah. I’m like thanks he was he’s just there. He’s just always there. After that that that’s not the beauty of Allen. the the beauty of Allan is anything that comes with numbers or or memory. Like I can tell you who players are by the way they move. Like I I don’t even have to see the number. Um but Allan is just it’s the numbers. It’s just they’re they’re there. They’re in the head. He’s just got to figure out where they are and I’m putting them out. He’s like looking at a file in his brain and then he’s like like what was the Dolphins record in 1993 Allan come and that year by the way that year they were nine and two is a year Marino Torres Achilles they were nine and two they were tied for the best no they had the best record in the league they lost their last five I could do that in any year and that was what you’ll get it’s I I’ve worked I don’t know if I should say of that or feel ashamed about that Yeah. Very proud. Very proud. Flamingo boot with the tener says, “Allan, why would they keep McDaniel as a lame duck coach next year tied to a lame duck quarterback? Is this the plan? Is this part of the plan suck for who?” No, it’s the it’s the it’s the never-ending belief in that in those two. Well, with two partly, hold on. With two, it’s partly because you’re tied into his contract because you had that strong belief that he was the guy partly sold by Mike McDaniel when he pounded the table. You got to give that guy his extension. And then there’s just a strong belief that Mike McDaniel is the guy. Garpump with the Fiverr says, uh, hyper talented running backs are about to get paid big money. The league is ch changing as per David Bowie. Running the ball is setting up mediocre quarterbacks. Running backs that last year was an aberration. It won’t happen. Was it like two 2005 20? Let’s ask Allan. Uh the year like um Collins, you know, Sean Alexander, all those guys were getting those fat contracts. What was that around like 2005ish? may have been because Tomlinson was the first round pick in 2001. So, but I thought you were gonna ask like there was a year where three of the first top four picks were running backs. That was 2005 when the Dolphins took Ronnie Brown when they could have had Aaron Rogers. That was back when running backs I running backs haven’t gotten paid in what, like a decade. No, they just got paid last year. Yeah. Yeah. But like I’m talking like they just got paid the in the last cycle. The Indianapolis back Saquon got paid. Squ got paid twice. Doug Henry got paid twice. Doug, Doug’s talking about where the market where the a chains get that money too. Like the receivers, what’s his back in New Orleans? What’s the back of New Orleans name? Um Alvin Kamarvin I promise you Han won’t get Alvin Kamar money. Damn. Are we really I think we’re limiting his duality, his ability to line up is the ultimate dual running back dude. The problem with running backs is, and this is directly from an agent, they don’t even sometime some of them don’t even recruit running backs anymore. Teams view them like tires. You you run them and then you got to get another one or you got to have two and they just don’t have the value that they that they used to have to teams. And so paying them does not make sense to them. They just go get a new one. um their Henry is probably aberration of of that and after and they have the sports science is really this is this is this is not me this is me like trying to figure out what’s happened to the market the sports science tracks these players and their speed not just in games but in practices and there is a number and I don’t know what the number is where they know when a back gets to that number he’s he’s done Mhm. And it’s and it’s like universal. And when backs get to those numbers, they’re like, “Nope, no thanks. We’re not paying you more than $3 million.” That’s what I’m talking about. Cuz back in the day, they didn’t have that sport science. So, you had like Leenian Tomlinson who went to the Jets and got a big contract and, you know, all these star running. There’s not really star running backs. Obviously, there’s Jonathan Taylor and Saquon, but not like it was around 2005. You know, where we got maybe a half dozen right now. McCaffrey is another one. Where’s like it was dies? That’s a that’s a good name. Uh John C with 20 says I made a mistake. Bill McAffrey got the biggest deal that McCaffrey had the biggest deal for like three years. Yeah, he’s a he’s a dual threat. He’s a really dual threat. Uh John C with the 20 said, “I may be mistaken, but I’m remembering another team this year running 6 linemen against us. Browns. Question mark. Good show, guys. KT DFG. Yeah, they can’t protect nothing. So, I wouldn’t be surprised. Miamiy’s just using it. I love that. It It’s It’s brilliant. The pistol. Number one, Heath fan again with a Fiverr says, “Hey, Allan, did you But I did. Did you find the holes in Omar’s is the second most accurate quarterback? All right, let’s hear it. Let me clear something up. Let me clear something up before we get into this. Let me clear something up. First off, Omar was wrong. He isn’t the second, not about that. Omar was wrong about because we started talking about uh his yards per attempt and then his yards per completion, right? It was middle of the pack, lower uh of the pack, right? He wasn’t even top whatever. Uh but people took me laughing at the fact that he had more than Herbert and Burrow that that made him, you know, top 10 or whatever. No, I just think it’s funny that the weak armed quarterback has more yards per attempt, more yards per completion. Burrow, Justin Herbert, all these guys. That’s it. Okay, now go. But hold on. I was accurate about him being the second number two all time in NFL history in terms of completion percent. But now Allan present uh net yard adjusted yards for pass attempt. He is tied for 21st with Justin Herbert in league or career. No, no, this is career. Okay. For all time. Yeah, but he’s tied for 21st. He’s not. And he’s tied with with Herbert and Burrow’s 10. Uh Lamar Jackson’s number one. Hold on. There was two or three more like this. Adjusted net yards per attempt. Hold on. Trust me, I did my homework. I know you did. Oh, I know you did. Uh 18th behind Joe Burrow and Josh Allen. Should I go on? You want you want to go? I mean like a top 20 quarterback all time. Sure. And he was here’s the thing is he was very good in that department, accurate and down the field in 22 and 23. the last two years has been a checked down fest. No, he was not accurate down the field. He just had a lot of completions down it. Those 40 yard comeback routes are not accuracy. I’m just saying. Number one Heat fan with the tener says, “This really is a great show. Even though I disagree with some of you guys, I really appreciate the different perspectives that all you provide.” And number one Heat fan, we love you for that. and and that you respect the four different no matter no matter what. We all have four different perspectives. How could you not agree with one of them? There’s always a fifth. That’s why we started the show. How do you not agree with one of them? Uh Flaming Boot with the Fiverr says, “I’m sorry, Tyreek isn’t the best Dolphins athlete in my generation. Jason Taylor is in my honest opinion.” Not even close. Not close. Not even close. There you go. Ian with the Fiverr says, “Speaking of tour and international games, him saying Jerusalem would be cool to play in and it’s not even in Europe and totally isn’t controversial.” Listen, he was just naming site. I was there to just came off the field. He was tired. He was still wearing his jersey. He was just naming places that he’d like to see the NFL go to. He said Hawaii because that’s his hometown and he said Jerusalem because he’s super religious. Like people get over Oh, but let me let me say this, ladies and gentlemen. People don’t always have to be politically correct. They don’t have to always be politically correct. Like Omar said, he probably was tired. He probably heard where would you like to play? Period. Oh, like people don’t realize these half of the foreign people that were talking, you could barely understand their English wasn’t that great. So, you know, people got I think it was the Bill the either the Falcons, the Bills game or the Madrid game where Tua was trying to hype him up in the tunnel and he said, “We got to play for 4 hours and people were like, look how stupid he is. It’s the concussions.” He said, “4 hours.” Like, that’s just them picking off though. Like, shut up. But the game come on the game four hours. No, four quarters. Technically one hour. Yeah, they they because it was like you play 15 minute and a quarters 1 hour. Let’s go out here. Four hours. The game is like three three something. If you go to overtime you can. But you know in a big deal sports people say hey 60 minutes. Let’s go. Yeah. You know but no no he’s talking about I got to be on the field for four hours guys. Let’s give me give me these four hours right here. I understood what he said. I think it was uh I think it was Spain. I understood what he meant like we got to entertain for four hours. Give me four hours again. People expecting other people to be politically correct every time. It’s unreasonable. All of us are going to be out of compliance that for yourself. All right. Look at it as 60 minutes. No one looks at it as four hours of work. Like it is four hours of work for him. Uh, Dolphins make me cry with the Fiverr says, “Despite the horrible start, if Miami wins 10 games this year and makes the playoffs, would you still want everyone gone?” Yes, I know this is a dream. That is the only way in my opinion that I would be like, “I’m cool with McDaniel coming back.” Other than that, I’m still I’m going to be like, “This is a waste of a year. Why are we doing this?” So, still make the playoffs. No, nine wins is my number. What’s your What’s your bare minimum, Alan? For what? for for for when for you bringing McDaniel back for you bringing McDaniel back I wouldn’t bring McDaniel back unless unless it’s nine and eight correct I wouldn’t because again your nine is your magic number and even at that I still have a long discussion with myself where I go self do we really want to go through this again uh because the the the bounce back from the slow start is admirable but it’s now two years in a row that where you put yourself in a hole basically you’re done at the halfway mark so but I I I don’t express it very often because I just don’t think that’s reality. I don’t think that’s what’s going to happen. That’s Yeah. TD, what’s your magic number? 11. 11. Not even 10. That’s my point. That’s the point. 11. Gotta got to get in. And you’re you’re at 10. Uh uh the it’s going to And watch this. This is what it’s going to come down to. I’m going to predict it right now. the Miami Dolphins in New England facing the Patriots with their backups in cuz they locked up the East already because of that off schedule. You know what’s going to happen and the Dolphins need to beat the Patriots to get in because Buffalo played at 1:00 and they lost to the Jets. Why? I don’t know. I’m just saying it. And the Dolphins lose. That’s what I That’s all Dolphins. I I totally know what Mike comes back because Steven Ross is like, “We were so close again. just got to give him one more shot. And then he sends out a letter saying, “Listen, listen. Ignore the letter from 2025. If they’re playing AI, Doug, if they have a win and end game in week 18, even if they lose, I think that calls for bringing them back.” No. Okay. Because we’re going to start two and six again. But but why nope? Why nope? Tell me why. Nope. Reason I wanted Flores fire when he started one and seven. you’re not good. I don’t care that you crawl back against, you know, whatever you’re But they put themselves in position, one and seven, but they put themselves in position to win a lot of the games they just couldn’t didn’t finish. I’m not saying that I’m for it, but Omar, we put ourselves in position two years in a row. That’s why two years in a row of the same thing. No change. The man is still doing the same thing. You lost the quarterback that last year. You’re playing with a quarterback who didn’t even know the offense. Your fault. It is. It is. So, and and I can blame that on bad GMing. And clearly I I have a case. What we’re doing though, Omar, we’re basically saying the same result is okay. It just depend on how you got to that result. And that should never be okay. That should never be okay. Just because you went got there a different way. Oh, you got to nine wins starting one and seven. Oh, you got the nine wins starting seven and one. Like I don’t care how you got there. Playoff win period and you’re not and and that’s done. That’s why this [ __ ] been done. You nuance got to have some nuance. Yep. The year you lose Tyreek Hill. Yeah. The year we used to your offensive line. This is why you can’t use that. This is why you can’t use that. We lost Tyreek this year. We lost that person last year. We lost to You’re gonna lose people and it could be vital pieces. And if you had somebody who built a better roster and actually talent on the team, maybe endure that I I’ll say this and we’ll move on. Chris Greer already threw Mike McDaniel under the bus for that whole thing. When I need to be more dependent and I need to stop being a pushover and I need to stop doing what the coaches said. That was because his owner told him that directly. So then again, it’s Mike McDaniel’s fault that the roster was built poorly because he only did what McDaniel wanted him to do. Chris let everybody push him around. It was a mix. Yes, everybody. Cut it. Uh Gozer with the Fiverr said, “What are your thoughts on Drew Aller taking him in the third or fourth? He reminds me of Josh Allen when he first came into the league.” I wish I could zoom in on Allen’s face. I think that answers all of our questions. Uh Josh, I like the LSU. If we’re do going on projects, I give me the LSU quarterback. I agree. Uh Josh Smith with the Fiverr says, “I think Tua got caught because he had no intention to run and was looking to pass the whole way. If he committed to the run, it would have been different.” I don’t want to hear I I appreciate you making an excuse, Josh Smith. I definitely appreciate you, but I watched that thing live and that thing was disgusting. Yeah, it was disgusting. A 300B man trucks you down like you were a toddler. It was unacceptable. I I don’t want to hear it. Like you knew that man was coming for you and he just ran you down like you were a fouryear-old. But it was just like the Alabama rundown where he got hurt. No. Was that Alabama? Yeah. But what was that? South Carolina running towards Mississippi State. Mississippi. Mississippi State. Yeah, I kind of jumped on him the same way. Line of right and the way his knee off quick. Jag been a member for four months says if we beat the Steelers, Jets, Saints, Steel uh Jets and Steelers, do we have a chance? Yeah, you know, you’re going to face Joe Burrow and the Bengals. You’re going to face probably even more beat up Tampa Bay. It’s going to come down to the Patriots game if they go on that tear. The Tampa receivers coming back. Well, we’ll see. Mike Evans. Um, what’s his name? The other one. Oh, yeah. He’s Mike. Chris receiver. Embuka. Oh, the rookie. Yeah. Yeah. I think one of them supposed to be back soon. Omar would take a shot here. Oh, Ian with the Fiverr says, “Speaking of Han, remember when Omar and Poop told us him and Savon Hawkman were basically the same players? Sorry guys, had to.” Ian, just so you’ll know, it wasn’t just Omar and I, it was everybody. And the only way we could tell them apart is because Savan Aman wore players. They said on film they the only way they could tell them apart is because Savon wore orange shoes. Like it it was it was crazy. Same body type, same running style. Same body type, same running style. Absolutely. Polter Ghost with the Tenner says, “Uh, evening everyone. Been listening to y’all every week during work. Assuming McDaniel survives and the team lets go of Tua. What archetype archetype of quarterback does McDaniel want? Probably the opposite of Tua to see if he can get something different. Very quick decisions. That’s the type of a quarterback he’s going to want. Yeah. In his offense, you have to I think that’s the reason Skyler and some of these other quarterbacks struggled is because they weren’t quick. Like especially Skyler, I noticed I’m like he’s got the arm, he’s got the physicality, but when he would drop back, he would like take like an extra beat to decide to throw the ball and it killed him. I think an athlete. Yeah, John. I might have a vote. I won’t quarterback with a strong arm. That’s an athlete. John C with a $50 donation. KTFG. Kick the damn field goal. By the way, Bills game, 19 possession, 19 passes, 19 runs on second down. Comrades, uh, Commander game, Comrades. Uh, hard to watch that one over, but I’m guessing no passes. Appreciate the giant donation, bud. Uh, Kelly with the 20. Love the show and watch every episode of your individual podcast, which all of us greatly appreciate. I’m here for all of it as long as our running back is a champ. Oh, I forgot to tell y’all. Yeah. No, I told you all in the text, but I was in Barcelona in Oh, yeah. Yeah. The I forget what the church’s name is. There you go. Just very fluent, Alan. Very good. It’s like the number one thing in Spain that everybody has to see. And you tore it. It’s a church. Um, very overrated to me, but you know, I got great pictures. And a guy comes up to me and is like, “Omar, just glad to meet you. I I listened to the Dolphins Colle I just listened to the Dolphins Collective this morning episode.” And that was the day after we had taped that. He’s like, “I love you guys.” And and I appreciate everybody who found me in Spain and you people are awesome. Um I’m very proud of what we’re building here because it’s very unique space. Mhm. Um, so you know, let’s keep keep it rolling. Uh, thousand%. Yeah, we love everyone, especially overseas. Um, oh yeah, TD, man. The guy at Home Depot, you his dude, bro. You his dude. Coco, Jay Fins with the Home Depot story. You ain’t I ain’t give you the Home Depot story. I told you. You tell us the Home Depot story, but it’s all right. Did you Oh, I got a funny one. When I went down for the Giants game, I went to the car rental and the guy was like, “Dougley, I love you, man. I love your stuff.” I’m like, “I appreciate you. Do I need to have a reservation at the car?” He’s like, “Yeah, man. I love you. You do need a reservation. We’re not going to have a car.” I was like, “It’s all good.” He walked away. We love you. We love you that much. Jay Fizz with the fire said, “Did you guys see the video with Mike McDaniel and Debo looking? Looks like we found our Tyreek replacement for next year because he is a free agent.” What money? He’s not. Uh the Foo family with the 20 says, “Y’all remember when Flores went uh after the Bengals player and coach coaches? Give me another coach with that kind of passion for for his players.” I loved that. That was like me prime like run through the wall for Flores when he Yeah. Imagine that after waved it and then they blasted him. I was like, “Look at him, Flores.” I was like, “That’s my coach.” I love that one. And then finally, management problems. Also, that was badass. I’m sorry. Yeah. Ian with the tener says, “Even if the Fins go 10 and seven, it’s basically impossible to make the playoffs due to tiebreakers, Chargers, Chiefs, Texans, Jags, all get in over the Fins. I’m with TD. If you don’t get in the playoffs, we fire McDaniel.” Yeah, you just we’re at the point and again this is why you can’t start two and six especially against AFC teams. We’re at the point where if you want to make the playoffs, you have to hope other teams lose. Plain and simple. But we’re going to get out of here. We will see you guys Tuesday 7:30. Um and then we’ll say happy Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving is after Tuesday. But we’ll see you Tuesday. We’ll talk now too and say it again Tuesday. Sure. Happy happy early. Um, we’ll talk about Tuesday, kind of the week, like this past Sunday, the games that happened, how it affected the Dolphins, whether draft picks or playoff seed. We could talk about that stuff, but we will see you Tuesday. Uh, we out, Cub Scout. Peace.
