You know, that same draft that everybody said, you know, TD don’t know what he’s doing in fantasy. Yes, I am 4- one and my entire roster, even the bench, nobody scored less than 10 points last week. I had I mean, I’m just loaded. My entire team was 10 over 10 points, 20 points, and my entire bench was over 10 points. So, your boy is loaded. Okay. Um, someone said, um, TD can’t hear you. Uh, y’all verify in the chat. Can you hear me? I want to make sure my audio is good. All right.

That’s um you, Daniel. Um you’re something’s wrong on your end. Okay. Just FYI. All right. All right. So, um let’s go ahead and get into it. Let’s go ahead and get into it. And I want to start out by saying that Stephven Ross is at the top of all of this. And Stephen Ross is getting frustrated. He’s getting frustrated. Okay. And I’m going to make some predictions here and I’m going to talk about each individual and their fate. And I want to start at the top, which is Chris Greer. To be quite honest with you, I personally am not sure if Chris Greer the top of the top is just where the beginning is of the issue. You know, there are people above Christian Greer. You know, there are all these advisors in the front office and all of that type of stuff. Um I don’t know if they’ve been advising Ross um correctly all this time because if they had, they would have never had gone down this path. Okay. Um, so I think there needs to be some type of accountability in that regards as well, but we don’t know the details. We don’t know what’s happening up there. But I I do know this. Raws signed off on every decision made. And there you have it. Accountability. But we will start at um Chris Greer. So, there’s a lot of people who keep on speculating about Chris Greer, whether he’s going to be here or not, or if he’s going to stay and move into a different position. What many people don’t realize is um what’s happened in the immediate um history of the Miami Dolphins within the last several years, right? We have to understand that this might be a delicate situation. When you really look at the statistics and facts, Chris Greer is the longest tenure general manager in the entire NFL who has not won a playoff game. Longest tenure general manager without a playoff win. Longest tenure. And it’s almost like, how does this guy continue to survive regime after regime? And what have I been telling y’all for three years now? I admire Chris Greer’s ability to survive. I mean, I And y’all know I used to make jokes about it. This isn’t anything new. And now people are starting to understand what I meant by that. I admire his ability to survive. And here he is continuing to survive. Now, with that being said, I think that we’re coming up on on an impass, a moment where a huge decision on Chris Greer has to be made. And a lot of people are like, “What’s the big deal? Just fire.” Well, what many of you aren’t considering is the Brian Flores situation. Brian Flores, when he exited in Miami, he was due money by the Dolphins that they didn’t pay for whatever reason. they felt they had cause um to move on and everything. Now, Brian Flores has made some critical assumptions um not assumptions, excuse me, accusations. I don’t know why I said assumptions, but he’s made some critical accusations against the NFL and many teams therein and the Miami Dolphins. Obviously, now Brian Flores has sued the NFL. Uh Brian Flores and his lawyer has been fighting to have the case in open court, jury of peers, everybody can see everything. The NFL doesn’t operate that way. The NFL has things in a closed door arbitration. So, initially the judge awarded Brian Flores and his lawyer a huge win by saying, “Okay, yes, you can move forward with your lawsuit and you can do it in open court.” The NFL has since appealed through the federal courts and as of two days ago, a ruling came down from the federal courts giving Brian Flores yet another victory. in which the federal courts have also deemed this needs to be an open court. The accused cannot be the judge being Roger Goodell cannot be the judge of something that he has is being paid to protect that is biased at a whole another level which will shift and change the future of the NFL because the NFL have been allowed to get away with this for a very long time. If the NFL does something wrong, they go to the commissioner. The commissioner reviews everything in rules, typically in favor of the NFL. But this situation was a little interesting because Brian Flores made a lot of allegations against the Dolphins, such as the Miami Dolphins tried to pay him, you know, um, massive amounts of money for every game that he lost. They were intentionally trying to tank. They were tampering with Brady and Shawn Payeyton. Um, they tried to set Flores up on a yacht and meet with them and Brian Flores showed up to the yacht not knowing Tom Brady was on the way. The owner told him Tom Brady is on the way for us to talk to him to try to convince him to come to Miami and and instead of staying, Brian Flores, um, the lawsuit says he got up and left before Brady even got there. But they did confirm that Brady end up showing up. And by the way, let me say this, too. This is a piece that nobody really talks about. Everyone loves to say Brian Flores snitched on us and lost us a draft pick, but the truth is Tom Brady snitched on us in my allegedly in my opinion. Why do I say that? Because Brian Flores’s was an allegation. He wasn’t there to see Tom Brady there. He left before Tom Brady came. So who verified that Tom Brady was there? Remember the interview, the NFL interviewed Tom Brady about the situation. And when that interview was done, what happened? The Dolphins lost the first round pick for tampering with Brady and Shawn Pay. So, uh, that’s where your real cinch is. is one thing for the allegation of Flores, but it was confirmed. That’s why we lost the first round pick, which is also a bad look on the NFL because that gives validity to see when you give validity to any part of Brian Flores’s story, it starts to put in question the validity of the entire story, gives it more credibility because he said this happened. It might have been denied and after interviewing Tom Brady and Shawn Peyton, we lost the first round pick and got punished for it, which means they found us to have actually done it or to have believed to have done it, which makes everything else Brian Flores says have a little bit more credibility. So, what’s going to happen in court with Brian Flores potentially is he’s going to be having depositions where they’ll probably call Stephen Ross, they’ll probably call um Chris Greer, they’ll call Denver Broncos, the Giants, all those other teams. And the crazy thing is this is bad for the NFL because remember the Bill Bellichic text message to Brian Flores saying congratulations before Flores had even been interviewed but it was actually meant for Brian Dball. Y’all remember all of this? It’s just evidence on top of evidence that looks really bad. It’s like you brought me in just to be a Rooney Rule candidate when you already had identified who was going to get the job before you even interviewed me. And once again, it goes handinhand with my character was smeared. And this is why teams also didn’t give me an opportunity. And who smeared the character? They believe it was out of the Miami organization. This is what’s believed. All of this is adding up. And you want to know the biggest thing of all that makes it even worse is acknowledging that Brian Flores may have never really have been the problem. Now, I’m not condoning his interaction with Tuaka, but he may have never been the real problem in Miami. And on top of that, even though I’m not um condoning the behavior that was alleged of him towards Tua, but I have since said this a lot. What do you do as a head coach when you’re given broken pieces and you’re expected to operate it like it’s brand new and and never broken? You get bad pieces. You get a quarterback that’s good enough not to be good enough. And you’re supposed to just operate out of that and end up getting fired just like Mike McDaniel might be doing soon. And and and that and and I got to say this too. What happened to all the people that went on the See, this is what happens when you get a real coach. When Miami was all flashy and amazing in year one, when it was all good in year one, what happened to all those people who threw it in in others face? This is what a real coach can do. Where’s that same energy for Mike McDaniel, the real coach? What? Where is that? What happened to it? What happened to it? Which is proof that a lot of this was also the building up of Mike McDaniel was a knock on Brian Flores. Everybody who had that sentiment, this is what a real coach can do. You were really just hating on Brian Flores because two in a lot of situations. And now look at us full circle. So back to Chris Greer. I went down that soap box to give you a underlying basis. This is an open lawsuit that can cost the NFL millions and millions and millions of dollar. I mean, this can be large. A jury of your peers, they’re probably if they’re found liable, then the jury can decide potentially punitive debt like how much money the NFL has to pay. This can be massive and Chris Greer could end up being a star witness. And if that be the case, you think they f they they want to consider firing Chris Greer? It’s it’s logic like like normal logic that leads you to this. Would you fire the guy who may have the information that can bring you down? And again, all alleged. Maybe Chris Greer has the information and he says, “Oh, it’s all lies.” Well, I don’t know. But this is alleged. Because you start to wonder, how can Chris Greer be the longest standing general manager in the NFL to not win a playoff game? And that record was held for years now, I believe. How could that be? And now here we are at a crossroad and we value continuity when this team is a train wreck. make it make sense. And I personally feel like Stephen Ross does not want to fire anyone obviously because of that too. But at the same token, it’s like they’re holding on for dear life. Like, come on, just go win a few games to make it respectable. Can you get to six or seven wins so that you know they they’ll hate me for it, but I can push this forward another year? Make it respectable so that maybe we can get to building something that’s competing again. I don’t like you’re killing me here cuz if you win three, four games and I don’t fire you, then it’s it probably gonna make me look even more guilty. You’re killing me here. Do something. And McDaniel is just a little lone victim in the middle of all of it. Has no idea this all started before he even got here. So, I say all that to say this. Chris Greer’s fate. Chris Greer’s fate is so unknown and we can speculate all we want, but we have no clue whether they’re going to move on, move him up in the front office somewhere else, or just keep him in that position. We have no idea. And this is the question for everybody. How could you not? Yeah, they are. Well, I don’t know. And all that’s why nobody knows. That’s why we’re a train wreck because some things at this point should be obvious. And for us, we know they’re not. And that’s even a bigger problem. It’s It’s even bigger problem. So Chris Greer’s fate, I Stephen Ross may not even know. And this is the point. It’s so bad. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. So, we’ll keep an eye on it. And if any new information come to suggest one way or the other, you know, I got you here. All right. But let’s move forward to Mr. Mike McDaniel. His fate. His fate is looking very grim. But there is hope. Why? Because first of all, he was hired on the wrong premise. You you hired him with the wrong foundation. You hired him with the wrong intentions. Mike McDaniel was brought in because he was a coach that was going to follow suit and do what was asked of him, not have his own personality and his own like like obviously he has his own personality, but I believe they wanted someone who they could I don’t like to use the word control, but you know control. That’s why they hired him. Is he a good offensive mind? At least a lot of people in the league say so. And you have a conundrum here because you don’t know if Mike McDaniel is a good coach or not. You really don’t. I know some people are going to speculate, no, he’s not. Oh, yeah. I mean, he’s good. You don’t know because he was tasked to come in and fix Tua, make Tua look like a competent quarterback in this NFL who can lead the franchise. and he temporarily succeeded. And this is what tells me he is a smart man. Here’s why I always tell y’all this analogy. He came in and he got the biggest bang for his buck. He simply came in and said, “Everything you don’t do well, we’re going to put in this box and we’re going to throw it over there.” Why are we trying to do the things you don’t do well? That’s not helping you out. That’s just showing where you are and how bad things can be. So, we’re going to take everything you don’t do well and throw it over in that box and and hide it. Get rid of it. And when he did that, he took everything that Tua does web and he put it in another box and he said, “This is the box that we’re going to covet. This is the box that we’re going to operate out of. This is the box that we’re going to make sure that we do it more than anything so that people know, look at how good and efficient and and and and just how consistent he is. And the reason why that was so smart for Mike McDaniel for those who haven’t heard me explain this yet is because I always use Shaquille O’Neal as an analogy. For those who don’t know who Shaquille O’Neal is, Hall of Fame basketball, big man, most dominant player of all time in the NBA. You get him in the paint, he is unstoppable. Even if you hack and foul him, he’s still unstoppable. only thing he was terrible at were free throws and shooting the ball outside of the paint obviously, but he never did it. So, I use him as an analogy and I use him as my example because this is what makes um Mike McDaniel smart and I’m a numbers guy. I get it and it was genius of him. So when you take Shaquille O’Neal, if Shaq takes 20 shots a game, if 10 of them are in the paint and he’s 10 for 10 and 10 of them are out of the paint and he’s three for 10, that means Shaq is shooting pretty much at a when you do the percentages, you you’re you’re 13 out of 20. He’s shooting 13 out of 20, which is 75% from the field. No. Well, hold on. Hold on. I got my math messed up now. All right. It’s five and 15. 65% from the field. There you go. That’s 65% from the field. And from a shooting percentage, that’s still great, right? But what Mike McDaniel did to Sha Beam Tua, he came in and said, “You are not going to take any more shots outside the paint. And now we’re going to have you only take shots in the paint. We’re going to give you 20 shots in the paint instead of 10 and 10.” And now Shaq is going 19 for 20, 18 for 20 every game. Did Shaquille O’Neal improve as a all-around basketball player or did his numbers improve? That’s the question you got to think about. That’s what happened in Miami. Did Shaquille O’Neal improve as a basketball player or did his numbers improve? Everybody out here. Tua definitely got better when McDaniel came. Did he get better or did his numbers get better? This is what a lot of people they find this whole thing is hard for them to understand. That’s what happened. Now watch this. The NBA the the the NBA was thrown off by the change in Shaq. Oh my god. She’s in the paint more often. They’re taking more in the paint. But now teams in the NBA are saying, “Let’s on the way down the field that smother the paint and let’s put two guys on him before he even get the entry pass.” before he even get the entry pass. So now what teams are doing, they’re making sure that he can’t even get the entry pass half the time. And then when he does get the injury pass, as soon as he get it, foul him. They’ve changed their strategy and now he can’t take the 20 shots anymore. Now he has to shoot free throws, which he’s not good at. And his his attempts from the paint have gone down because they’ve denied the entry pass some. same equivalence with the Miami Dolphins. They’ve taken away the middle where to is all the things in the box that he’s strong with. They’ve game plan to take those away and they’ve been trying trying trying their very best to figure it out. How can we now overcome, you know, what defenses are doing to us now within the box we kept? And ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell y’all this off season, while none of us were looking, back in February, Mike McDaniel went on a journey. He went out in the wilderness and he went searching for that old box of things that Tua didn’t do well. And he looked high, he looked low, and he just couldn’t find it. And miraculously in March, he just said, “There it is. There it is.” He grabbed it, ran back, opened the box in front of two, and said, “The only way we’re going to make this work is we got to take a few of these things out, and we just got to work on them this off season. We got to work on them this off season. We’re going to have to take this one out right here. Throw it outside the numbers. We’re going to have to take this one out right here. Getting past your first read with confidence, with pressure coming as well. If we can maybe do those two things. And I don’t know about y’all, but that’s what Tua I’m watching live on the field. Mike McDaniel open up the outside throws. two are not pulling the trigger every time on the first read and sometimes like, “Oh, that’s too no that ain’t there. Let me go to the next one.” I’m seeing it. But what level of play are you getting in the process? It has not been a high level of play. It has not. When you look at the five games, the last two have been the best ones. The first three were horrible. the one versus Buffalo, it was actually good. It’s just that it came to bite him in the end. And the last game, another good game, but not good enough cuz he’s still trying to work through some of those things and doing them consistently. So, we don’t even know if Mike McDaniel’s a good coach because he hasn’t been able to scheme anything up yet. that has overcome the limitations. He hasn’t been able to, but he’s also working with the limited potential of a quarterback. That’s the reality. So, if you had a better quarterback, would it unlock the things that you just won’t allow Tua to do because you know he can’t, which would open up the offense anymore? Would you be able to? We don’t know. And that’s the tough thing because Mike McDaniel, you were hired to do that one thing and you did it and now teams adjusting. It’s making you look bad as a coach, but we I understand the limit limitations. We don’t know. We might get a new quarterback and keep Mike McDaniel and he’s a bad coach. like, “Oh my gosh, you ain’t do you ain’t doing nothing. This quarterback got the arm. This quarterback can throw outside and then and you you’re we don’t know.” Or he can go to a whole new level. We don’t know. We don’t know. So, Mike McDaniel’s fate is up in the air and I kind of have him categorized as a potential scapegoat. I have him categorized as a potential scapegoat in all of this because if he does get fired, it could very well be because of the limitations. He He’s only doing what he can work with. And he knows if he goes outside of that, it could be even worse. And people don’t realize that. They just automatically think, well, if he was better, Tua would do better. know maybe if he opened up things to what Tua don’t do well things could be worse just like the excuse for Tua he’s also dealing with a bad line and all type of stuff it’s not looking good for Mike and I think he’s going to get fired within the next three weeks He has to go on some type of win streak that is definitely obviously impressive. That’s what’s going to have to happen and it’s going to have to start now versus the Chargers at home. Justin Herbert and company coming in and it’s and I would love to say, well, you know, their old line is beat up bad and they’re struggling because of it, but our defensive line ain’t helping. He’s going to have to figure out a way to get some wins or he’s going to be a huge scapegoat. I’mma tell you now. I think Mike’s gonna get fired. And that’ll be two head coaches fired in the last five three years actually. Miami Dolphins number one. Salute. Somebody in the chat said, “Look at TD’s storytelling.” Um, this is actually how the channel used to be all the time, breaking down things to its entirety and telling it through this type of form for everybody to understand what happened about two years ago. Um, I just I just got tired of it and explained to everybody what our fate was and what was going to end up happening over the next three years. And here we are two years and a few months into exactly what I said. So, I stopped storytelling. I stopped blah blah blah. But I feel like we’re about to enter a new realm into a new fe um future. So, you’re going to get a lot more of this actually breaking it all down. So, stay tuned. Um, let’s move forward though. Um, to attack to attack. Um, Tua’s fate. Tua is in no man’s land right now when it comes to the Miami Dolphins. We know who has his back, but those gentlemen we just talked about their fates. I think a majority of the fan base is now starting to wake up and open up to the facts. And here’s the important thing about the facts. People forever have been arguing about what’s around to him and justifying or qualifying why or why not he has been successful based off of what’s been around him. You haven’t done this, you haven’t done that, you’re not helping him with this, you’re not helping him with that. It’s not fair that he has to do this. It’s not fair that he has to do that. Man, um I mean he doesn’t play defense. He didn’t like all of that’s all it’s been. And I have been one one of there are a few of us out here, but I’ve been one of the at least content creators, one of the only ones telling you all for the longest, this is where you’re fooling yourself. You’re under the impression that if we put the right pieces around, we can compete for a Super Bowl. And I have consistently tried to tell people, I don’t care if you got the best O line in the NFL, top weapons and everything. You are not going to compete for a Super Bowl with two attack. You might win 11, 12, 13 games, but you are not going to compete for a Super Bowl with two attack. I don’t care how much work you put around them. And by the way, for those who are like, “Yeah, that’s where we disagree and you’re wrong.” Okay, that’s fine. It’s an opinion of mine. I recognize that. It doesn’t make it the gospel. It doesn’t make me right. It’s an opinion. But let me tell you how many factors go with my opinion and how many factors don’t go with yours. First of all, some of you don’t even stop to take the time to realize putting everything around him is nearly impossible. Two teams max every year have a roster where everything’s around their quarterback. And that’s being generous to say two teams every year. That’s being generous. Like even recently, uh, Eagles, that’s about it. Anybody else team had everything around them? Maybe the Lions, even though they dealt with the most injuries in the league, but that happens. Which is another point. First of all, it’s almost impossible to do it. And even if you do it, it won’t last more than two to three years. It’s almost impossible. So, you’re asking for something nearly impossible to do something that ain’t going to happen even if you did it in my opinion. That’s number one. Number two, you’re also asking that even if you were to do that, that everybody stays healthy. Ask the Lions how that worked out. That roster was loaded. Everybody got hurt, which is another factor that brings your chances of putting everything around him to begin with. It brings it down, which once again, even if you were successful in all of this, he ain’t the guy that’s going to help you win a Super Bowl anyway. But that’s the opinion. But I’m still pointing out all the factors that y’all asking for to make him the guy are almost impossible. You already got a top receiving core. You already had a top rushing game. You had a top secondary at one point. You already had top highlevel safeties. You had a good pass rush. Like we’ve had so much already around him. And all we got to show for it is picking at a specific unit with O line. Ladies and gentlemen, even if we fix the O line this year, y’all just going to be talking about the defense. Even if you fix the defense, two years from now, y’all gonna be talking about the receivers again because Tyreek done. Oh, we may we spreading it around, making some plays right now. Eventually y’all gonna be talking about Achain like you would talk about Jake Grant because let’s not forget ladies and gentlemen early on Jake Grant. Oh we just loved us some Jake Grant. He made a few passes here and there. He was returning kicks. Oh Jake Grant. Soon as Tula got him and things weren’t looking good. Oh my gosh man. We got guys like Jake Grant. Y’all going to treat Ha the exact same way. Y’all going to end up doing him. I’m telling you now, I’m calling it now. Two years from now, y’all going to be talking down on Achain when he don’t make a few plays that you love for him to make. I done seen these cycles too many times for our team. Y’all going to really be Well, we got little guys like Aane catching the ball right now. He catching them and y’all like, yeah. And then next thing you know, we need big receivers. We got to stop having a chain catching and putting up big. Y’all y’all going to flip up. Y’all going to make y’all going to flip it up for whatever makes it make sense for you in your pursuit of something that’s highly unlikely. That’s how far we’ve gotten and we don’t realize it. We’re trying to nitpick everything to try to get it perfect to get that guy a better chance. And in essence, here’s the here’s the bottom line of what you’re not realizing. You actually have a unseen desire for the team to carry Tua instead of Tua to have responsibility of carrying the team. You don’t realize that’s what you’re doing in essence, needing the team to carry Tua as long as you can give him the credit for the outcome. You just want to give him the credit for the good outcomes. That’s why we lost the other day and every but Tua play well. You can’t say it was his fault we lost if that’s your main thing. Like some of y’all watched the game just to be like come on to Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He got more yards. All right. He about at 240, man. All right. Like some of y’all just you’re like I’m talking to some of y’all heart right now. Well, I probably ain’t talking to many of y’all because y’all don’t watch guys like me because I’m I’m I’m talking directly to people who do this stuff. That’s why none of them watch me anymore. I con I I convict them. They they feel guilty when they listen to me. This is why they say, “I can’t listen to this guy no more. He’s an idiot. He don’t know ball. This is why.” Because I talk about these things and it starts convicting people and people pride is just so pride, man. their pride. That’s why some of them silent right now because they don’t have a leg to stand on. But they just still holding out hope. They still holding our hope. That’s what’s going on, man. That’s what’s happening. Tula Taka Valua is not a quarterback who’s going to actually help doing some of the lifting for you to win a Super Bowl. There is no lift. There’s no lift. And that’s the problem in a game where you need lift. And I don’t like making comparisons, but let’s just be honest. Like, when you really look at that Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots game and you look at a guy like Drake May, you can say all you want, Drake May’s not a good quarterback. He’s a bum. Blah blah blah blah blah. Maybe, but in that moment, in that game, I have never seen Tua play four quarters like that ever. I’m not talking about against a a bad team in week six or nothing like I’m not talking about a bad team. I’m talking about big game everything on the line mono the world watching. This is a big stage one of the best teams in the league. You going up against and you play four quarters of no blink football. didn’t blink. I’m here to compete match for match. Let’s go. And another play. And another play. I’mma make another play. And another play. Tua has never had a game like what we just witnessed. Never. Never. Never. Year six and never, not one, four quarters. Big team, never. And I And you know why I’ve been saying never so long? Because I was waiting on the first person in the chat to say Baltimore. And there it is. I was just waiting. I knew it was coming. didn’t throw two, three picks in the first half of that game. This is what I’m talking about. I said for four quarters competing mono remodel, not no little late comeback um bad secondary. No, I said four quarters of nonblink football just Okay, Josh, I got you. I one up you. Oh, okay. So, you going to respond? Well, let me one up you again. Ah, okay. I see where this going. Let me one up again. What’s up? Keep going. Let’s see who break first. Never. He has never. That’s what I’m saying. See, we’ll love that little comeback at the end in Baltimore. When is our quarterback just going to have against a good team a flawless game? Yeah, I know a lot of y’all forget in that six touchdown game the man threw two or three picks and and two or three were dropped. Y’all y’all are never y’all don’t even remember that. He said, “Yeah, but you said fourth quarter.” No, I didn’t. I literally started out by saying having a game where you didn’t blink the entire game. Four quarters, not fourth quarter. Four quarters. That’s what I said because that’s what matters. Remember all them Brady games from start to finish, dueling it out with Payton Manning and other guys? Y’all do realize in the big games the when you get a matchup with quarterbacks going back and forth, defense is playing great, but the quarterback’s like making unbelievable like man. Never. When you don’t have none of those, it’s hard to believe. And this is what I’m saying. When you evaluate it, six years in, if you’re a guy, you would have had 10 of those by now. Six years in, if you were one of those guys, you would have 10 of them by now. Josh got 10 of them. Lamar got 10 of them. Momes got 10. Jericho probably coming up on 10. Matthew Stafford got them. Not one, start to finish. I got one of the best teams on the other side of the field against me. One of the best defenses in the league going up against me. Start to finish. I was cooking them. I was cooking them all game. I was cooking them all game. I was cooking them the whole game. Great defense cooking them. We don’t have one example. Year six, almost every quarterback in the NFL got one except the maybe some rookies or secondyear people. Almost every quarterback in the NFL got one. Even the bad ones. Thank you. Um, starting six sports picks. I believe it. I believe what you’re saying. He said, “Dame TD, I promise you can love again.” Yeah, I actually know I can love again, but I got to have the right one. I can’t just accept anybody. I don’t want to rebound. I didn’t I didn’t ask for a rebound from Tanahill. I didn’t want I didn’t want an unhealthy situation. I know I could love again, but I got to find the right one. You can’t just throw somebody else on me and say, “Love them.” No. No. I got to find the right one. Salute to Flicks with the donation said remember Reedette versus Bengals preseason. [Music] Well, we remember Sunday. You’re right. But that is still one game in six years. Uh I don’t know what one game y’all talking about in six years. Chargers opening game 2023. You see what I’m saying? I didn’t expect for you to bring the Chargers game out, but the Chargers were one of the worst teams in the NFL that year. They had the worst rank. They had the 32nd ranked defense in the NFL. Y’all grasping at straws. Go look it up. They had the 32nd ranked defense in the NFL. I thought we had something too. And then as they just kept losing and they kept giving up 30 and 40, I was like, uh, yeah, makes sense now. It makes sense now. Trust me when I tell you we have zero examples. I have seen every tour game, evaluated everyone, watched the film two, three times on every one. We have never, he has never went toe-to-toe with an actual good team just four quarters of delivering. Never. You can keep searching. I’ll have your answer. Never. TD, the Cowboys game count to you or no? Six field goals and you gonna ask if that count. Do we understand? And I ain’t coming I ain’t coming at you, but this is what I’m talking about. We going to ask if that counts. Do you know what what it means to go at another team’s neck all game with a good defense? Touchdowns and touchdowns. Four quarters of delivering it. Remember that Lions Bills game last year? That type of game. Drake May versus the Bills this week. never folded. We going to try to qualify a game where we score six field goals to barely win. No. No. I can’t count. Come on. Five field goals. Somebody said, “Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m wrong.” But it like we got to stop making it hard to realize there are signs, some things that are just supposed to happen in six years. There are some things that’s supposed to happen in six years. And I’m telling you now, big boy game in a big moment against a big opponent. Four quarters of just greatness is one of the things that for Tua Taka Valua should have have actually happened already at least five times at a minimum. At least five times. It should have already happened at least five times. Just balled out and dominated. Don’t matter that that team is a great team across from you at least five. But we’re just okay with hey just just and you know what if we’re going to be honest those who feel like you know Tu is the guy if we just work around him. Can you be honest for a moment and tell me if I’m lying or not? You watch them games every Sunday. You’re okay with the bubble screens and stuff. You’re just like, “Okay, long as the guys get yards after as long as it’s not incomplete.” Like, we could have a one yard bubble screen that gets tackled right away. Oh man. But but at least it was a completion. Okay. And let them get 30 yards yak. Yeah, that’s 30 yards for tour. Like y’all like like I know y’all be grasping for straw. I’ll just be like, “Hey, long as somebody make a play with the ball and get him more, then it’s more for him in his numbers.” Some of y’all probably grimace when the ball go past 15 yards, hoping it ain’t one of them ones. Some of y’all probably Oh, yes. Come on, Waddle. Yeah. Like, some of y’all don’t know what’s on the other end of it. You don’t know. You don’t know how confident you can even be anymore. And I know y’all be pulling your hair out on those deep ball underthrows. Like I be like, y’all probably be watching it like defender don’t catch up. Don’t catch up. Yes, he did catch up to it. Like like I know you do. I know you do because people like me on the other side. Oh, please. Oh, please get it. Get it. Like, yes, the defender didn’t know where the ball was or Tyreek slowed down enough and they kept moving and then he were by himself. How can you have receivers like How y’all think about this with Tyreek Hill when he was running those deep balls and having to come back for it, right? How can you go from having beating two guys, right, by six yards and then right before the ball is caught, they’re six yards past you? like you dusting them. The ball thrown, you stop, they run past you while they slowing down and when you catch it, you’re able to turn around and try to make a move and everything. Like make it make sense. This like like honestly this y’all don’t see how we’re This is why other teams look at us like a clown show. like we’re like I’ve been called clown more than anything but man this clownman right and you don’t see how other people be like man these guys are like clowns like that fan base I can’t believe they they like really love that stuff like they worship him that’s how people look at us like we worship him and it’s not good man and And it makes sense because stuff like that we’ve grown so like we have changed the rules so much that people are around here talking about no no intentionally underthrows it because it’s a higher probability pass. Oh my god. You’re right. But oh my gosh. When did they ever start playing football like that? Hey, your guy winning by six yards. If you throw it perfect over the top is a touchdown. But you know what? It’s a higher probability to underthrow it. Only he knows to come back and we can get have a higher guarantee of a first down. So, let’s just go with those. Man, man. Man, I I don’t know how to explain it no more. I don’t know how to explain it no more. This We We done got wild. We have gotten wild, y’all. We have gotten wild. Wild with it. Like this is where we are now. Like call me the clown all you want. Like the problem with Tua’s fate is we don’t even know that either. Why? Because first of all the money. Number two, even if you wanted to get off the money, you you you just gonna have you might have to cut them. Everybody talk about, “Oh, there’s teams that don’t want them.” Uh I mean, you know what I will say? There’s always stupid organizations in the NFL, bad organization. And Tua would be a good bridge. Tua is a guy you bring in new atmosphere, new scenery, put a few pieces, and try to, you know, figure out things for the future. he’s the bridge unless he keeps doing better and better and then they they they get strung along. I don’t know. Um if I’m the Miami Dolphins and a lot of y’all gonna be mad at me about this. I’m not eating Tua’s cap hit next year unless he’s traded. Tua is going to be my quarterback next year. But I’m stripping the roster. I’m stripping the roster. All the young guys stay, but Chub got to go. Phillips is gone. Um, yeah, I’m I’m I’m I’m purging the roster. And I got my new GM, I got my new coach, and they’re evaluating the young guys. will be the Jets this like like the Jets are this year but without the veterans and all the talent. I’m purging my roster and then the year after we we’ll talk quarterbacks cuz I don’t want to go get rid of Tua, go get a new quarterback and then start purging the roster around them. No, I told myself I’ll give it to Tanahill. And in other words, I’ll give it seven years. And not to evaluate Tua anymore. I don’t I’m not evaluating him anymore. I don’t evaluate him like that anymore. I just keep on reminding people he ain’t it. He ain’t it. He ain’t it. He ain’t it. Truth is, we don’t really know many of their fates, but we do need to face reality. This ain’t it. I’m about to get up out of here. Um, I’m going to try to go live again today and talk about a draft plan for the future potentially and how we should move forward for the rest of the season, whether they do it or not. obviously, but we need to start talking about it cuz that’s the real conversation. That’s the real conversation. Thank y’all so much for tuning in. Thank you for the love and support. Salute to Southside BK. Hope all is well with you, brother, and the family. Thank you, man.

Rehire Flores what a beast!
Trade Tua to Cincinnati Bengals and get a 3rd round draft pick for him!
Lol itβs over Ross thatβs why you donβt cheat loser
This was fantastic. TD telling truths….
So you knew all this stuff the whole time TD CAUSE ITS FACTS tell everyone the truth hell yeah
Tony, I don't think anyone ever said, Coach McNerd isn't smart. You don't go to Yale and learn how to wear Capri pants and Gucci sunglasses without something going on up in the old noggin.. What he is NOT smart at is being the head coach of an NFL Football franchise!!! It is painfully clear to all of us Dolphins fans that Mr. McNerdUmmmmm, IN HIS 4TH YEAR, cannot and will not make proper adjustments required by NFL head coaches. He cannot and does not get plays into the huddle on time. (even tho he has a microphone into the helmet of Tiny Tua). He does NOT know how to carry out discipline to a team in desperate need of it. I.E. players who want to be traded, late for meetings, constant and repetitive pre snap penalties. An alleged Run game coordinator prior to coming to Miami yet refuses to run the ball on 3rd and 4th short yardage opting for passes. He does not have any playoff wins. He has won NO division titles. He is 29-29 now in his career with the Dolphins! We've seen this movie before. Mediocrity, average. Yeah, I'd say we DO IN FACT KNOW HE IS NOT A GOOD NFL HEAD COACH!!!!! Next please… This franchise needs a fresh set of eyes on everything from TOP TO BOTTOM. Now all we need is Mr. Magoo (Stephen M. Lost) to look through the bifocals and see the light. Don't hold your breath on THAT though!!!
Great show TD. I'm looking forward to hearing about the future plans. It's my only joy now.
TD…as a history/government/divinity instructor, I appreciate you recapping this franchise's current state from the Brian Flores era to the Mike McDaniel era. Phin Fans…if this isn't done this franchise will continue to make the same foolish mistakes we've witnessed the past 8 years…c'mon! This issue is systemic within the front office down to the field and Flores was trying to reveal this year one but many of us weren't listening from this 4-time Super Bowl winning defensive coordinator/coach who could evaluate talent! Thank you for returning to this format TD! You need to do this either once a month or once a quarter to keep the real Phin Fans informed and focused for the true state of the team…keep it up! Phins up!
Became a subscriber after watching pats reaction game on your channel. Im a diehard pats fan but your a funny dude TD. Youβre gonna have to suck for four years to get someone like Drake just like we had to do.
Get top 5 pick this year take a Qb sit him behind Tua. purge the roster get asset and have an amazing draft in 2027 we should be back on by 2028
Say less about that box. Thin outside the box. In lamens term, bench Tua. Ewers time!
Flores is looking for revenge, the NFL did use him as a token interview for the Giants job. Flores was a problem in Miami, he was and is a good DC, but not. HC. He could not get a staff together especially on the offense. He was clueless when it came to dealing with players especially on offense. He knew defense and most defensive players like him. But at the end of the day he was not a good HC. He wants to drag the dolphins through the mid as well as the NFL. Heβll most likely win this case.
I truly believe that if we would have kept Flores, by now, at the very, very least, we would have won a playoff game
If you get robbed, and the police take your statement, that is NOT snitching. Flores was robbed by Ross and Grier. He gave his statement. We can't blame him for Tua NOT being an elite QB. Tua is the only one to blame for Tua. Ross and Grier are to blame for absolutely EVERYTHING else.
For head coach Todd Monken Ravens, Joe Brady Buffalo, John Morton lions.. And defensive coordinator chris Shula..for GM George kokinis Baltimore, Ray Agnew Detroit Jeff spytek Tampa Bay… I looked at what those teams have built and say the dolphins need to build in that manor.. Good oline and dline once that's in place find an above average QB and some nice pieces on offense and defense through the draft.. All those guys are assistants and can be got.. I was told why would they want to come to the dolphins and ruin their careers.. They would come for HC position DC position and GM position it looks good on their resume to go elsewhere if necessary..
Miami should trade for shurder
So which QB wins without a decent oline and defense? Allen, Lamar, Burrow??? Even Mahomes needed a defense.
Hate to break it to ya but Grier has Ross wrapped around his finger & he isnβt going anywhere
Step off the ledge, no need to live them, just need someone who is good enough. ππ
TD you do know that Drake Maye DID NOT have a single TD. The RB had 2 and the kicker had 3 FGβs. So what is this about Maye going many a Mano? I agree that Tua is limited and the Dolphins should keep looking for someone better. But stop with all the hyper stuff that isnβt true.
… They can't fire Chris after the lawsuit is over because that would look like retaliation. So we could be stuck with this guy for another four or five seasons at minimum
Dang Tua screwed this team up big time
Ross is never getting fired so the real thing holding the franchise back from playoff success is always going to stay the same.
TD your analogies have been on pointπ― I completely agree with you. The $20 analogy you used in the last video made a lot of sense.
Also this team gas yet to address the offensive line. You must build a team on a solid foundation or it will crumble. Trenches=Foundation
Damn good analogy and it makes me think what would this offense look like with a all tools qb π€
well if that is the case with grier than this team is done for a very long time!!!that sucks!!!!
Grier is a con man. hes coning his uppers to think that its always the coaches and not his picks or signings
HELL NO! Take the cap hit and boot Tua! Its going to be bad anyways!
The team is just simply YOUNG and need reps and experience.
TD is REACHING on many points, especially his Shaq Reference.
The problem with Stephen Ross is he is a meddling owner. Why does he meddle? Because he has people in his ear that he trusts like Mike Tannenbaum and Tom Garfinkle, plus he's swayed by the feedback and perceptions from ESPN, Fox, national media and YouTubers like TD. If the feedback is negative he PANICS and makes Hasty decisions through Chris Grier. Grier is a YES MAN who won't go against the decisions from the higher ups. I think deep inside he wanted to just trust and believe in Flores, BUT THE MEDIA'S NEGATIVE PERCEPTION and bad advice he got from his advisors made him do Flores like that. He's old and there is no telling how long he has to live so that made him impatient. He wants to be patient now with McDaniel but the perception and bad advice will sabotage the whole thing
As for Tua, he's a really good QB that needs to be in a different market on a different team because the Miami fanbase and YouTubers like TD ARE BIASED TO THERE OWN VISION OF THE TEAM. The white/Cuban dolphins fans want a MARINO TYPE pocket passer, the Black dolphins fans want a BLACK SCRAMBLING Vick Type QB. Tua has his own style that fits neither SO THEY DO NOT WANT HIM TO SUCCEED AND CARE NOTHING ABOUT THE STRIDES HE MAKES. TD knows this, whatever he says is Cap
If thatβs the case Mike needs to play call all the plays Tua canβt do, this week at home so he can make mistakes leading him to bench Tua, put in the back up and you will hear the crowd cheering AT HOME. And then somehow win the game with the back up. Get Tua tf up outta here.
Also because TD is LAZY with analyzing the NFL and he's biased to his Ideals, he doesn't notice THAT MOST QBS in the league are now facing Tampa-2/Cover 3 with deep Safeties. There is less 400 yard passing games this year across the board because DCs are taking away the bombs. So even Josh Allen is checking down much more than last year. Bills OC Joe Brady countered this strategy by using the TEs more and being in 12 & 13 PERSONEL. Using a Three TE Monster and Running the ball. So it's not LIMITATIONS from Tua that McDaniel is dealing with, it's figuring out how to crack those Safety Shells. Improve TD and talk football from a non biased point of view and people would like your takes MORE
I want my Jets to draft Fernando Mendoza. Sounds crazy but he reminds me of Tom Brady especially in interviews. If y'all can get Dante Moore y'all will be set as well. There's some good QBs coming out this draft bro keep your head up and pray y'all draft one
TD. In life. I can always tell who never played football. who has never lived a life of football. There is a lot of traits you learn from football. One is integrity. Ross could have never played football. He has played the sport of businessman. He thinks he can buy a championship. But a football mind. A football mind knows that you have to earn it. No shorts cuts. That means hiring football people to run it. Not businessmen. Then. just like football. The best player plays, and the lesser player is out. A football mind would have seen that Grier is not the best "player" for the position. He should have brought in another "player" to take Grier's spot for the 2024 season. If Ross had played football. He would understand that winning football games is paramount. Nothing else. He would know that it starts with the GM. Low key. Even Stevie wonder could see that Grier has to go. But if you're a business mind. You would stick with Grier and company because your still making money. My point is. We can complain about the draft picks. Tua. McDaniel. The defense. But if Grier was competent at his job. He would have drafted the right players. He would have hired the right coaches. Those coaches would have coached up the offense, defense and special teams. If Ross keeps Grier. We will be doomed. FINS UP SINCE 1973.
This should've been done 30 9:20 years ago!
Everyone knows Flores was wrongfully fired and was right about the lawsuit and how even he coached the team.
That lawsuit should be enough for the league to make the owner sell the team π³
