00:00Let's head down the South Beach and Odell Beckham Jr. One of the more electric players
00:07we've seen in the NFL over the past decade, but injuries have marred his career. Looks
00:11like he was on pay stubs for a Super Bowl MVP day when the Los Angeles Rams won the
00:16Super Bowl in Los Angeles just a few years ago. Goes to the Baltimore Ravens, gets a
00:21nice paycheck but doesn't perform. Heads to the Miami Dolphins, wants to perform but now
00:26going to be on the pup list for at least the first four games. I don't think I saw
00:30this coming, Dubs. Did you see this coming as these issues in the offseason with OBJ
00:35now heading into the regular season?
00:38And they continue to surface, Donnie, and nothing gets easier for Odell Beckham Jr.
00:43at this point in the career. You look at the production, that continues to dwindle. You
00:47could say, well, he's been slightly more efficient, but I mean, from 14 games last year, just
00:52catching 35 passes for a measly 565 yards with three touchdowns, you're going to ask
00:59the question, what really is Odell Beckham Jr. bringing to one of the most high-octane
01:05offenses that we've seen in the league over the last five years? He fails to get that
01:10first step now, so he's definitely lost a beat. As a wide receiver, three, I think it
01:15makes a little bit of sense, but for me, I'm looking back saying, where's the durability
01:20for a long and testing season? And look, the Miami Dolphins, they're only planning towards
01:25that playoff push. You've got to be healthy. You've got to get those reps in. Tua told
01:29us on Monday, you know, he was asked by the media and the press, how's the combination?
01:34How's that connection fitted with Odell Beckham Jr.? He goes, to be honest, we haven't had
01:39any reps together, so I really can't tell you. So to miss the first four weeks, I've
01:44got question marks how far that will push into the regular season, but it's not a great
01:48outlook for Odell Beckham Jr. And for the Miami Dolphins fans, you know, for Mike McDaniel,
01:53I feel like this is always going to be something in the back of your mind. We know the X-Factor.
01:57We know that Pizazz is there from OBJ. I'm sure he can still do special things at a special
02:04level. It's just the quantity that looks to be dropping off, Donnie. So it's not good
02:08for the Dolphins.
