00:00I just want everybody to know right off the bat that Marcos was supposed to be in today,

00:08but I have suspended him for wanting to, uh, to run all off season and I'm considering

00:16firing him.

00:17I'm considering firing him.

00:18So thank you for stepping in today, Vlad, and this, uh, suspension for frog boy, because

00:23this is his fault.

00:25He, he has been chirping about a mobile tour all off season.

00:30He wouldn't shut up about it and, and look what you got frog boy.

00:33I hope you're happy.

00:34I hope you're happy.

00:35I mean, if you guys, thanks snake.

00:38Thank you Vlad.

00:39Even though we, even though we took a victory lap on you, that's a very nice way to, uh,

00:42to start today's show.

00:44Can I just say that was the worst night ever?

00:46Yes.

00:47It, here's what makes the night amazing.

00:53Nobody threw for 200 yards and you lose by 21.

00:59Yeah.

01:00Um, and I would say that some of the things that you had questions about, not even two

01:15were starting to show up very early and that would bother me more than anything.

01:26For example, the O line and D line injuries, right?

01:33Youth, uh, no youth or too much youth.

01:38What do you mean?

01:39Well, just when, when the young guys get in there, right?

01:42Um, Mike McDaniel likes to rotate his receivers to keep them fresh.

01:47They had guys in there.

01:48I didn't even know who they were.

01:51Yeah.

01:52You had Robbie chosen.

01:53Who's been here.

01:54And the 49ers and most of, and most of the interceptions didn't come through on the ball

02:01to Tyreke.

02:02A waddle.

02:03I don't think I even did.

02:04It came one bounce right off the bow's chest.

02:07It came from guys that aren't, haven't been in the offense running routes.

02:11And so, um, that's also pretty frightening that like one of your strongest positions,

02:22your positions on the field can become one of your weakest from play to play.

02:30So I like the fact that John New Smith got more involved or involved at all.

02:37I'm still, I think he ought to retire that run in the outside a little bit because I

02:47like what they did in up the middle.

02:49I really did.

02:50They ran the ball well.

02:51Yeah.

02:52Devon HM was awesome.

02:53Literally the only bright spot of yesterday, but yeah, it's a nightmare, but here it, you

03:01know how, when you watch an offense and you watch a team that has offense, it looks like

03:05it's fluid, right?

03:07Like this is a play off of this play.

03:10This play is what we go to off of this play.

03:12We're going to show them this and then do this.

03:15That offense didn't look like that.

03:17I don't know because they didn't have any success early, but like, it just didn't look

03:23fluid, right?

03:25It looks like they were running a bunch of plays stuff to look fluid when like, uh, you

03:28know, three fourths of your drives and then turnovers, right.

03:31You know, like, and, and the drives that wouldn't, you'd have like a critical penalty or something

03:35to knock you out of range.

03:36Like they played so awful, awful, like just, just, just to have the bills come in here

03:44and you know, I got to send it all week statement game.

03:47Well, the statement has been made.

03:49Well, the statement, the statement, the statement has been made, not even close, not ready.

03:54Another primetime dud.

03:56And then on top of all of it to his career might be in the balance.

04:01Here's what I would say that like the first thing is to his health, right?

04:14So we need to see where that's going, how that's going to go.

04:18I'm of the belief.

04:20If you're healthy, you're healthy.

04:21If you're not, you're not simple as that.

04:25I know people are going to say other things.

04:27They're going to bring in all the other stuff.

04:31But as a player, I've had a year, like two ahead, two years ago, and I've had concussions

04:45after that, but it wasn't like that year, right?

04:51That year I just like, you couldn't, couldn't shake the fog.

04:56So I understand what everybody thinks and what everybody says, if two is not healthy

05:02to play, he won't be cleared.

05:05They're going to be, uh, rightfully like, we don't even know what his status is right

05:10now.

05:11I think might be Daniel speaking to the media right now.

05:12We'll get to some of that, you know, but, um, you gotta remember like this, this was

05:18not just that he had concussions that year, but it was a year that was also filled with

05:24the controversies around the concussions and dolphins were covering stuff up and the

05:28dolphins were being nefarious.

05:29And then, and then, you know, then he suffered a con then he suffered a concussion.

05:34None of us even knew about in the game other than one dude on Twitter who pointed it out.

05:39And then we found out he was done for the season.

05:41And so for week two, yeah, he did a great job last year because he didn't run fraud

05:46boy.

05:47And he was also 14 pounds.

05:48Yeah.

05:49And he put himself a little durability and he just stayed in the pocket where he should.

05:54It's hard to stay in the pocket.

05:55I understand.

05:56He's like, look, he's making a competitive play.

05:58He's trying to do something for his team.

06:01He played awful.

06:02He's trying to make something happen in the red zone.

06:04Get his team.

06:05He's trying to bounce back from an interception.

06:07I get it, but he's not built for that.

06:12He's not built for that.

06:14He's never been built for it.

06:16And look, if you're been a skeptic of Tua, that's probably been your biggest fear.

06:21That's probably been your biggest fears because that he's not Josh Allen.

06:24He's not a moose.

06:25He is going.

06:26He literally collided with probably the skinniest guy on the field.

06:30And that happened in a 10 yard run.

06:33Can I just tell you the irony?

06:34My first trip to the hospital from a concussion was tackling a hundred and forty five pound

06:45guy on kickoff.

06:46I'm sorry that happened to you, buddy.

06:47So it's not the size of the other guy.

06:50I know the back of his head.

06:53That's where it always is.

06:54He gets hit in the back of the head and then like, dude, I know you're here's the thing.

06:59You come from a different world.

07:00So I think you're jaded on this, but like the nation watching Tua have crooked fingers

07:08and arms straight yet again.

07:11It's like it's hard for the fans to wrap their mind around seeing it because he is very famous.

07:16He is the size that he is.

07:19He comes with reaction to everything that he does.

07:22And so now the Dolphins are in this spot with their franchise quarterback, who the coach

07:27really, really cares about.

07:28And he's kissing him on the head as he leaves the field.

07:32He's very visibly shaken.

07:33Mike McDaniel on the sideline after this happens, the whole game, you're just like watching

07:37the clock.

07:38You're like, I can't believe there's this much time left in it.

07:41It's tough not to think about his future being in the balance.

07:44It's tough not to because if it happens two out of three years and they're always like

07:49because not all concussions are this vicious looking when he gets a concussion, dude, like

07:54brutal.

07:56It's like he barely can walk off the field.

07:58He literally has to get stretched off the field.

08:00You know, the body's involuntarily doing stuff.

08:04And it's tough for everybody not to look at it and be like, hey, should he be doing this

08:07anymore?

08:09And look, he's going to want to.

08:11I know he's going to want to.

08:13That's why I say if you're healthy or you're cleared, then yes.

08:20If not, then you've got to make that decision.

08:23But that's part of the sport, right?

08:29And I get everybody on the outside looking in and trying to figure out what.

08:35That's why you have medical professionals.

08:38You see what I mean?

08:39I don't like hearing the stuff of, well, I don't know what doctor is going to clear him.

08:46If you're cleared, you're cleared.

08:47If you're not, then it should be no doctor that clears it.

08:50No, I understand.

08:52But this is a medical team that took on scrutiny.

08:55Right.

08:56So now you send them somewhere else.

08:59I don't know.

09:00You see what I'm saying?

09:01He's a huge man.

09:05All you see is my hat.

09:06Oh, you're on TV.

09:07I was on TV.

09:08But all you see is my hat.

09:10Calais is that big.

09:11What did he say yesterday?

09:12Calais was saying, I mean, the locker room was really, really.

09:18Just probably down because they didn't play the way they.

09:20Right.

09:21It was like a double whammy.

09:22Like, you're already going to have to hear it because you lost your rival, but then you

09:26lose your quarterback at that.

09:27So it was more was how did they feel, you know, did they talk to tour, which a lot of

09:31the players did to was talking to the players in the locker room before the media was able

09:38to enter.

09:39Yeah.

09:40Certainly it was like never more relieved to see a guy get up and like walk on the field.

09:43Oh, thank God.

09:44Yeah.

09:45I mean, when he was walking off the field, the walk, you could tell it was like, oh yeah,

09:47he wasn't like a diabetic.

09:48I'm a diabetic.

09:50So when you have a low sugar reaction, you don't walk with like such, you know, you're

09:54not sturdy.

09:55Everything's kind of loose.

09:56That's how we look.

09:57Walking.

09:58It was brutal.

09:59And it took.

10:00I mean, it really took the seals off.

10:02I mean, the crowd.

10:04Well, that's the worst.

10:05It was, that was the worst case scenario of an already worst case scenario game.

10:09Yeah.

10:10It was already a disgraceful night.

10:12I mean, just a, just a, just a putrid performance.

10:15It was a bad night.

10:16It was a bad performance.

10:19Don't say it.

10:20I'm going to say it.

10:21Don't say it.

10:22Don't say it.

10:23He has the right to say it.

10:24Don't say it.

10:25I'm going to say it.

10:26Really?

10:27Don't say it.

10:28Don't say those words.

10:29Because, because, because guess what?

10:30Look at me one more time.

10:31We talked about this before the show.

10:32I know.

10:33Don't, don't say it.

10:34Don't say it.

10:35I'm saying it.

10:36Don't say it.

10:37I'm saying it because it's real.

10:38He told you not to say this was a game.

10:39It's real.

10:40It's real.

10:41Do not say what you're about to say.

10:42Here, let me say this.

10:43Don't say it.

10:44Any goals that this team has, have not been lost by this game because we do.

10:52Oh!

10:53Oh!

10:54God!

10:55No!

10:56God!

10:57No!

10:58Vlad, he don't want to hear it, but that's the reality of it.

11:03You're right.

11:04You're right, bro.

11:05The season isn't over.

11:06We do.

11:07The season isn't over.

11:08Hold on, hold on.

11:09The season isn't over.

11:10We don't, no, no, no.

11:11I'm just speaking on, just on the game.

11:12I'm not talking about all of the, the, right, the injuries and stuff like that.

11:17I'm just saying.

11:19Like, like, that's real.

11:23Like, like, you have, you are already, already ready to go home and suck your thumb.

11:31Oh.

11:32Yeah.

11:33And who's putting us to bed?

11:34Josh Allen?

11:35Is Sean McDermott, is he putting, is he putting Mike Goodale in the high chair?

11:41This is my, this is Sean McDermott to Mike Goodale.

11:45Can you answer me this question, Leroy?

11:48Tell me.

11:49What's up?

11:50Certain teams just give other teams.

11:52I, I tried, listen, I tried to explain that.

11:57Okay.

11:59I beat the Pittsburgh Steelers my whole career in Cleveland.

12:05One time.

12:07And you want to hit a kicker?

12:09The one time was my rookie year, I think.

12:13Oh, wow.

12:14Yeah.

12:16Yeah.

12:18So, I know this feeling.

12:20Hmm.

12:21Firsthand.

12:23It sucks.

12:25Yeah, the play, because I asked the players that, and the players like, man, if I knew,

12:29I'd be able to figure it out.

12:31It's frustrating.

12:33It was a frustrating.

12:34But two of them said one thing that's actually factual.

12:38Until you beat them, this is going to be, and, and guess what?

12:45I lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers three times in one year.

12:49In the playoffs?

12:50No.

12:51Yes.

12:52We lost both games in the division.

12:54Then we won the division, the divisional playoff the weekend, the wild card weekend.

12:59We had to go to Pittsburgh again, and we lost in a divisional round.

13:03That hurt.

13:04Right.

13:05They own.

13:06Yeah.

13:07Right.

13:08This is not even the first time that two has been knocked out for weeks by the Buffalo

13:10Steelers.

13:11There was the year he got his ribs snapped in half by, by Epinesa.

13:14The one year he got knocked up by Milano.

13:17Somehow he comes back in that game and they win that game.

13:19It's the only game they've won in his tenure.

13:22You talking about the concussion game two years ago?

13:25Yeah.

13:26Where he got, he got knocked back.

13:27He had the wild legs.

13:28He goes out.

13:29He comes back.

13:30They went in the second half.

13:31It's just where Ken Dorsey freaks out.

13:32Oh yeah.

13:33He hit the door.

13:34But he had the Epinesa game where he got his ribs broken.

13:37I hate to say this, but if Tyreek and Waddle aren't on the field, the timing with all these

13:52different wide receivers is horrible.

13:55Well, they're literally, they're literally scrapped.

13:57No, I know.

13:58But look, you're supposed to have like the plan was Odell Beckham, river, Cray craft

14:04as a comma and as a comma Malik Washington, Washington.

14:08But here in Vlad, think about this.

14:13Every interception he threw.

14:16No pass was to Tyreek or Waddle.

14:19No, that was the other thing.

14:21And I, you guys are saying that I felt like right now when you look at the team,

14:24they're too top heavy.

14:26Definitely.

14:27They're too top heavy.

14:28Well, the plan wasn't to be that wasn't to be that way, but it wasn't to be that way.

14:32So think about this.

14:33When Robbie Johnson's got to get move up.

14:35Right.

14:36If Chubbs healthy, you got Jalen Phillips.

14:40You got a nice rotation there, right?

14:43If as a comma Malik Washington, Odell Beckham, right?

14:50Now you're going five or six deep there.

14:54So like these are situations you got to deal with.

14:59Nobody don't want to hear that as an excuse.

15:02So I'm just like, okay, as the weeks go by and all these guys get more reps,

15:09it's got to look better.
