00:00Let's real quick hit on the situation that is really boom or bust at this point, George.

00:07It's the Miami Dolphins offensive situation.

00:10And boy, did they pull a rabbit out of their hat to get that last week against, who was

00:15it?

00:16New England?

00:17Was it last week?

00:18Oh my gosh.

00:19That game was awful.

00:20And the Tennessee game was even worse.

00:21So look, now the door is sort of open for them as their schedule gets a little bit easier.

00:25They get the Colts and they get the Cardinals.

00:26And if you knew that Tua was back for those games, all of a sudden the Dolphins go from

00:31SH bleep to shine.

00:35Real quick.

00:36I don't want to say the curse word, but that's really what the Dolphins are at this point.

00:41You know, I don't know.

00:42I mean, look, I don't have any more insight when people are like, oh, you live in South

00:45Florida.

00:46So you should know.

00:47I mean, nobody really knows what he's going to do.

00:49My only guess is that Tua is going to come back, George.

00:52It's just a matter of when, not if.

00:55Would it be the week after the bye?

00:57Maybe.

00:58Would it be two weeks after that?

00:59I'm not sure.

01:00But then let's just keep it a hundred percent real.

01:04Even if Tua comes back, George, look at that schedule.

01:06You could put blank teams after Dolphins at, just give me a blank.

01:10I don't know that he's going to play any of these games at the end of the season.

01:13I have no idea.

01:14Maybe he plays one.

01:15Maybe he plays two.

01:16He just keeps getting hurt.

01:17So is it time to part ways with your Dolphins when you get the boom, Tua's back news?

01:23Or do you just stand pat?

01:25You know, I mean, maybe Tyree Kill is the guy to move.

01:27I don't know.

01:28How do you feel about some of these guys?

01:31I think Tua is coming back.

01:33I actually believe if they didn't put him on IR, he might be playing next week.

01:36All right.

01:37I think he would.

01:38Because he already cleared concussion protocol.

01:39It doesn't seem like he wants to retire.

01:41All right.

01:42If he did, you know, I think that we already would have heard that, that he was leaning

01:45towards that way, but we're not hearing that.

01:47So I think he's returning here.

01:48We've also heard that there have been no independent neurologists that have told him he has to retire

01:52or that he should retire.

01:53All right.

01:54So apparently he can play.

01:55I just don't, these athletes are geared to play.

01:58They want to play unless he has every member of his family telling me he has to retire.

02:01You know, I think he's coming back here.

02:04So yes, I think we'll get our players back.

02:06I think this will make Miami valuable again, but you bring up the interesting point.

02:10He comes back.

02:11I don't know if he's staying healthy.

02:12No, I don't.

02:13I can't predict that.

02:14All right.

02:15And we have to remember, Craig, he initiated the hit that got him knocked out.

02:20It wasn't even that bad.

02:21Right.

02:22It wasn't that bad.

02:23I don't think he'd ever do that again.

02:24He'll slide next time.

02:25But he initiated that hit.

02:26I think, like I said, DeMar Hamlin, who ended up being the one who hit him, I think he was

02:29shocked that he did that.

02:30It wasn't that vicious a hit to you.

02:32It was like he got blindsided in the pocket.

02:34So yeah, I think he gets hurt again this year, next year, whatever it might be.

02:38So I would lean towards selling the players if I can get a decent deal.

02:42All right.

02:43You can't get it right now.

02:44Right.

02:45I have Tyreek Hill.

02:46You can't get it.

02:47But once it announced that he is coming back, oh, he's going to start week eight against

02:48Indianapolis.

02:50Well, now you can start hitting the wall, hitting the trademark and see if you can get

02:5385, 90% of their value here.

02:56So that's what I'd be looking to do because I love the schedule.

02:59I do love the schedule, by the way.

03:00You know, if Sam can put that back up there.

03:02What was it?

03:03Indianapolis?

03:04Arizona?

03:05I think I saw the Rams there.

03:06All right.

03:07Even Buffalo's not there.

03:08Raiders.

03:09Raiders.

03:10All right.

03:11New England's tough there.

03:12Green Bay can be tough, but they haven't been.

03:14Jets are.

03:15That's a nice schedule.

03:16Not a great playoff schedule.

03:17That's a nice schedule.

03:18Not a great playoff schedule for them, but a great regular season.

03:22You know who I have to say is going to end up being super overdrafted whether Tua comes

03:25back or not?

03:26It's A-Chain.

03:27I mean, A-Chain is another, is just one of these guys, I think, George, that, look, it's

03:31not fair to throw he's always hurt on him, but it's kind of been the case.

03:36You know, I think Mostert is going to get a little bit more value.

03:39I think Wright, the other running back, is going to get a little bit more value as we

03:42go forward.

03:43I think the Dolphins are going to have to think about using him differently.

03:45He just gets banged up a lot.

03:47I agree with you.

03:48You know, one of the small, listen, it's football, it's a rough game here, but I agree, A-Chain

03:51always does seem to be banged up, as most running backs are here.

03:55You know, the three players we might talk about most, A-Chain, Hill, and Waddell, A-Chain

04:00may be the guy I'd be looking to trade top, right?

04:02Then Waddell, then Hill.

04:03I'd just go in reverse there, which guys I'd like to move on from if I could.
