Miami Dolphins’ Darren Waller proves he can have impact vs. Jets | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
IT’S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR TYREEK HILL AND WE WISH HIM THE BEST AS IT NIGHT, THOUGH. DARREN WALLER, WHO HAD RETIRED, WHO HAD PLAYED YET THIS SEASON. BOY, THEY FOUND SOMETHING WITH HIM AND I WAS CRITICAL OF THEIR OVERALL PLANNING BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO TRADE JAYLEN RAMSEY. THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO JOHN SMITH. THEY WAIT UNTIL LATE IN THE ABSENCE. AND WHAT DO WE DO? WE NEED TO TIGHT END. HEY, LET’S TRADE FOR DARREN WALLER. WE DIDN’T HE RETIRE. OH YEAH, HE DIDN’T PLAY AT ALL LAST YEAR. WELL, AND HEY, HE WAS AN INSTRUMENTAL PIECE OF MIAMI’S FIRST WIN WITH HIS PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT. YEAH. I MEAN, I I THOUGHT THAT WAS BIG FOR THE DOLPHINS OF HIM JUST SHOWING UP AND DOING SOMETHING IN THE GAME BECAUSE AS A GUY WHO RETIRED AND STILL FELT LIKE I COULD, I COULD PLAY IF YOU CALLED MY PHONE AND YOU OFFERED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY TO COME BACK OUT OF RETIREMENT AND MADE IT LIKE, HEY, WE’RE GOING TO GO TO MIAMI. LIKE I WOULD HAVE BEEN, I WOULD HAVE TOLD MY WIFE, HEY, THIS COULD BE 6 MONTHS, WHETHER WHATEVER IT LOOKS LIKE. WE’RE GOING TO GET THE MONEY NO MATTER WHAT. SO LIKE FOR ME, THAT’S WHAT THIS WAS KIND OF TURNING INTO LIKE WHILE I WAS IN TRAINING CAMP, THEN IT WAS HEARD WAS JUST LIKE THIS, THIS IS GOING TO BE A CREDIT TO HIM AND THE DOLPHINS HIM GETTING BACK OUT THERE. MY CONCERN EVEN THOUGH IS HOW MANY GAMES DO WE GET LIKE THAT? WHEN YOU’RE RETIRED, AND YOU’RE GETTING OLDER AND YOU’VE KIND OF BEEN REMOVED FROM THE GAME, THE HARD PART IS PLAYING OUT A WHOLE SEASON. IT IT’S BEING ABLE TO SHOW UP WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK. SO, WILL YOU STILL ALWAYS TALK DIDN’T PLAY FOR A WHILE WHEN THEY WOULD FIRST COME BACK? WE’D BE LIKE, OH, FRESH LEGS. HE’S GOT FRESH LEGS, AND YOU WOULD SEE THAT GUY FLYING AROUND AND WOULD LOOK LIKE HE’S MOVING AT A DIFFERENT SPEED THAN EVERYBODY BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE HAD BEEN IN TRAINING CAMP AND THEN THE COURSE OF THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF THE GAME. SO IT’S GOING TO BE HOW IS WALLER ABLE TO CONTINUE TO SHOW UP AND MAKE PLAYS WEEK AFTER WEEK, BUT I THINK THE THING RIGHT AWAY AS A PLAYER, YOU’RE LIKE, MAN, ADDING WALLER TO THE RED ZONE AND HIS ABILITY TO RUN AWAY FROM COVERAGE IF YOU’RE A MAN TO MAN OR GO UP AND GET THE BALL AND BE ABLE TO THROW THE BALL WHERE THE DB JUST CAN’T GET TO IT. WE SAW THAT RIGHT AWAY WHEN, YOU KNOW AND AND OUR LAWSUIT CALLED IT, WHEN IT GOT IN THE FIRST BUNCH, THAT HE RUNS THE CROSS, HE’S LIKE, OH HE’S 2, IT GOES BACK SIDE PLAYING OUT A WHOLE SEASON. TO A GOES BACK SIDE AND I MCDANIEL, SAY, HOLD ON, LET’S NOT KICK THIS FIELD GOAL. LET’S GO FOR GARDENER, WHICH I THINK THAT THE JETS. YOU KIND OF LIKE THE MATCHUP OF WE’RE GOING TO TALL LONG GUY ON HIM AS WELL. BUT 2 OF THROWS THE BALL. WHERE ONLY WILDER MAKES, I MEAN A GREAT JOB OF GETTING 2 FEET DOWN, BUT THAT WAS THE THING. WHEN WALLER WAS IN THIS LEAGUE, I REMEMBER PLAYING AGAINST HIM, IT WAS LIKE PLAYING AGAINST A FREAKING GAZELLE THAT COULD JUST RUN AND PULL AWAY FROM YOU AND THEN HAD REALLY GOOD HANDS UH AT THE TIGHT END POSITION. HE’S LIKE A BIG TALL STRONG RECEIVER PLAYING TIGHT END. SO IF HE CAN BE OUT THERE, HE’S GOING TO CREAT
