00:00Mike McDaniel, there was a, uh, there was a blurb from Drew Rosenhouse yesterday where
00:05he had said the dollars were making calls to improve like a few weeks ago, but he does
00:09not believe the dolphins are given up on the season.
00:12Obviously it does a lot of work with Chris.
00:13Grary said that on WSVN, uh, Mike McDaniel, uh, on the idea of the dolphins are buyers
00:20or sellers.
00:21Here's here.
00:22Oh, he answered.
00:23Yeah.
00:24He answered.
00:25Here is Mike McDaniel.
00:28If the dolphins are buying two things, um, exist, uh, and, uh, one of which I think there
00:37there's no real label on, um, what we're, what we're doing just because, um, you know,
00:43I know one thing that Chris career and I both share a very strong conviction, um, and belief
00:51in this and this team and what it looks like.
00:54If you, if you can find a way to get over the hump, which we fully expect to at the
00:59same time, um, you know, Chris Greer's job is to, um, uh, to, to field all, uh, all business
01:08and, um, listen, uh, and think both in the short and longterm of, of, uh, the best interests
01:16of the franchise.
01:17And then, um, he, he comes to me with any and all business that's, that's real.
01:24Um, and we discuss, um, uh, you know, from there and he hasn't brought anything that
01:29is, that is real, um, uh, to me, but, uh, I know first and foremost, um, we are absolutely
01:38convicted in, uh, this, this, this team being better than, um, the one loss column right
01:46now and believe that it can, uh, it can make a turn.
01:51Um, and that's what we're, how we're approaching each and every day.
01:54If there's nothing going on on trade deadline day and they know nothing's going to happen,
01:58can they all just take it off?
02:00So here's the deal.
02:03And I kind of said this earlier, I think they'd be more days off.
02:08I commend them for not necessarily doing anything because there's nothing that you
02:16can do with the current status of your team.
02:20That's not going to jeopardize the future of your team.
02:22So if you want to get a pass rusher, you might have to give some up.
02:28Yes.
02:29That being said, your issue is your pass rushers are injured.
02:33Right.
02:34So.
02:35And supposedly coming back.
02:36One of them is right.
02:37So from that standpoint, to make all these knee jerk moves to appease, everybody doesn't
02:43put you in a better situation.
02:45It just makes it the only good.
02:47The only thing that you can look at is, is there a move at the point you are this season?
02:52Do you have something on your roster that somebody would give you a haul for?
02:55And I don't really think there is, there's not, because at this point in time, nobody
03:00on the team has had enough success or can afford the players that you've paid, right?
03:06So you're talking about Tyree waddle.
03:08Okay.
03:09Those are the only two guys that I can think of.
03:13Maybe one of the running back.
03:14Yeah.
03:15The only young piece that's not got a contract is going to be Holland.
03:18And I don't know what you give for it.
03:19I don't know what somebody wants for Holland and he's banged up.
03:22Right.
03:23So, um, and, and that's fine.
03:26That's fine because, um, I'm happy with this team.
03:29They're just not healthy and it sucks.
03:33But think about this.
03:37And I know what people are going to say about what I'm about to say.
03:41And I would just say, stop it.
03:44Okay.
03:45But I don't understand why with the heat we go down, we just heard, right?
03:56But with the dolphins, you go same old crap for the last 25 years.
03:59I don't think the heat are getting a pass from anybody.
04:00No, no, no.
04:01I mean, I don't think the heater.
04:04What did they have with the same guys?
04:05I don't think so.
04:06I think people were, were tired of it last year on a running back year.
04:09I think the, I think, but again, nobody was healthy.
04:14I understand.
04:15So what role does that, like we, we sit here and I see all the comments about what the
04:19team should do and fire this guy and fire this guy and fire that guy.
04:22When you pay the upper end of your, uh, roster and they get hurt, it makes it difficult.
04:32But they have been healthy the last two weeks and the last three weeks they've had the game
04:37and they've had a critical mistake that has cost them the game.
04:41Yeah.
04:41Like, and by guys that you rely on, not by their backups.
04:45No, I know.
04:45Like that's, that's the thing that's frustrating about it.
04:48And that's when it goes to, they say, Oh, we're more talented or we're better than my
04:53your records.
04:53And I'm like, yeah, the names and the resumes are, but when they start making mistakes,
04:57what does that mean?
04:59Here's the problem.
05:00Okay.
05:02You're in a position right now that you can't afford the mistakes that you're having.
05:07Yeah.
05:08And so when they come, they hurt that much more.
05:11And that's, what's been plaguing this team is that you finally get healthy.
05:16You're moving the ball.
05:17You're scoring 20 plus your defense is hanging in there.
05:21Boom, turnover, fumble, boom, boom, boom.
05:23Game over most 61 yard field.
05:26Now let's be clear.
05:28It doesn't help that your mistake is always followed by the other team's best.
05:35Yeah.
05:35Like a 61 yard field goal, dude.
05:37And he couldn't, after you said, after we've had for the first five years, Oh, if we need
05:42to go down the field and score two, it can't do it.
05:44And he did it.
05:45Yeah.
05:47And you lose.
05:48And we're going to just throw that out.
05:50Right.
05:51That's something we haven't seen.
05:53We haven't seen.
05:54So there are positive things you can pull from it.
05:58It's just that they're not in a position.
06:02And what I said to you two weeks ago, right now, the only team this need, this team needs
06:08is wins.
06:09I don't care how you do it.
06:10I don't care how bad it looks.
06:12We'll fix all the crap later.
06:14Right now you do what you got to do to win.
06:17That's the problem.
06:19You could have very easily won the last three games.
06:21Yep.
06:22And you didn't for whatever reason, you can say the team looks better.
06:26You can say everybody's back.
06:27But in the end, all you care about is winning, winning Tobin, not looking good.
06:34Winning.
06:34Okay.
06:35But I don't know what, but they've made mistakes.
06:37Like style styles be damn.
06:39But I said, I don't care about all that.
06:41I know, but even the ugly style or the pretty game.
06:45They both lost the same.
06:47They both lost the same.
06:48By the way, stop.
06:49We've had these conversations before all these.
06:51But it would be like your argument would be better to me.
06:53If like two went out there and he chucked three picks because he was airing it out.
06:59Well, I mean, not really.
07:01It really wasn't much.
07:02It was like it was more successful because you had a quarterback and it was more fun.
07:06But like the indie game, two fumbles.
07:09Right.
07:09The Arizona game.
07:11I mean, old shortstop McGee out there, Stonehands.
07:16And then this game, forget about it.
07:19Fumble running into a frigging receiver.
07:25And these are veterans, dude.
07:27We're the old guys.
07:30Crazy, man.
07:31Let's hear a little bit more from McDaniel.
07:33Do we?
07:33Yeah.
07:34Why not?
07:35He says, this is why that often shouldn't trade away vet pieces.
07:40I think that the answer to that question is found.
07:43You get no greater insight into who people are than times like these.
07:51And I think they have each and every day to make the argument for themselves as well as we do.
08:00That's what you fight for in the National Football League.
08:03So I think that the only positive in a luster of adversity is that you get clarity into
08:19each and every person who's part of the solution, who's part of the problem.
08:25And I think that's the ultimate accountability for the National Football League that we all
08:30have to bear.
08:34And I think the argument for anybody's existence is in their hands to a degree
08:46with all the football that's left to be played.
08:52Nope.
08:53What was that phrase?
08:55Luster of adversity.
08:57Luster of adversity.
09:00I've done some Googling.
09:09I don't think that's a thing.
09:12I don't know.
09:13What about the free?
09:14Oh, yeah.
09:15No, that's the first one I looked up.
09:19It doesn't even come up with.
09:20No, it's not.
09:21AI.
09:21Not even AI.
09:22It's like, I don't understand this.
09:26I think Google just said, are you serious?
09:30What's even crazier is I'm looking up the meaning of luster.
09:34Just because I've heard of lack luster.
09:37And unfortunately, they gave me the lost.
09:39It's luster.
09:40Yeah, exactly.
09:41It gave me the definition for lust.
09:43No, I don't think he was talking about this.
09:46I'm looking for that.
09:47Trust me.
09:47Hey, he's talking about blue to listen.
09:49Trust me.
09:50If you're lusting for adversity, the dolphins are for you.
09:52Oh, yeah, that's it right there.
09:55Your fix.
09:56Like that is their top category on Pornhub is just it's just lust and adversity.
10:02That's the dolphins right there.
10:07Oh, man.
10:08Let's hear from Tony.
10:09What's up, Tony?
10:12Tony, what's up, bro?
10:14Hey, guys, I'll be quick.
10:16Just wanted to respond to the heat dolphins comparison.
10:19You know, the heat have given us two titles since 2020.
10:22We have a little bit more patience for the heat.
10:24The dolphins, it's the same story every year.
10:27How do we draft a quarterback in this class?
10:30How do we not pick somebody up?
10:32I mean, it's the same story.
10:35It's just it's Tony quarterback.
10:37Isn't your problem.
10:38So why do you want a quarterback?
10:41Could I help this the last couple of weeks or, you know.
10:45But quarterback isn't your problem.
10:47Why do you want to draft a quarterback?
10:49I mean, if we got a handcuffed tour every year, it's the same thing.
10:54He's he's he helps us.
10:57He's awesome.
10:57He's unbelievable.
10:58He goes down and we're in ruins for the three or four weeks.
11:01He's out.
11:02Let me ask you a question.
11:04OK, this is a football question.
11:07If I take two out and replace him with another quarterback.
11:13In the same search circumstances of this year.
11:16You think their record is much better?
11:18You think their record is much better?
11:20I think I think they they went in Indy and I think.
11:26You know, I think they went in Indy and having one more win right now.
11:30Gives us a totally different direction.
11:33So you're you're you're willing to draft.
11:37A quarterback for one more win than the quarterback you have.
11:42I just think it's a long season and we were we're basically tied up with a quarterback.
11:48That you're not tied up with a quarterback.
11:50He was 25 of 28 and the next and the conversation we're having after that game is the quarterback.
12:05Tony, if you want, you could just say screw you, Leroy.
12:07If you want, you could just say screw you, Leroy.
12:12I have no problems with two.
12:14I think he's unbelievable.
12:15But now back to back years where, you know, this is where we're at.
12:19He's going to go down.
12:21I'm going to be in protocol.
12:22We're going to be three or four weeks where who are we going to depend on?
12:26Some some guy else, somebody else's practice squad.
12:29It's a 17 week season.
12:31You know, I just think in this day and age, you need somebody there that can get you through.
12:36Definitely your easy weeks.
12:38I'm not expecting to go into Buffalo, but if we're going to be with our second string guy,
12:42maybe we can play an indie play, you know, play in Arizona at home.
12:46So that I agree with that.
12:48I agree with that.
12:50They thought that Skylar Thompson was the answer and we didn't find out until they were
12:560 and 2 when him in that it didn't work out.
13:01So that I agree with.
13:04But to put what has happened to the Dolphins this year.
13:08On tour, it's like we need to get over that.
13:14Two ain't a problem on this team.
13:16Well, except for dropping the snaps.
13:19OK, but come on, man.
13:21All right.
13:21Bumble.
13:23Oh, my goodness.
13:24Thank you, Tony.
13:25Thank you, Tony.
13:27You scared him.
13:28No, I didn't scare him away.
13:29Listen, I get here.
13:31Here's the deal.
13:32And I'm gonna be I'm gonna be straightforward.
13:34You guys tired.
13:35I'll be straightforward.
13:36You guys, everybody blows gas on, you know, and want to come in and say what the answer
13:41is.
13:41Right.
13:42And my thing is, is that everybody wants to spit out the problem.
13:47Tell me what a solution is.
13:49So, Tony, the quarterback, the quarterback, the quarterback.
13:53I'm like, so you think if you next year draft another quarterback.
13:58Even if you could get rid of tour, you think your team would be better and it'd be worse.
14:05Again, there you go.
14:07It's like you think you're going to be high enough to get Cam Ward with the Carolinas
14:13and the Saints and like, come on, the Raiders.
14:16Oh, please.
14:17Shador, Travis Hunter.
14:20I hate the idea of him on the Travis Hunter is not a quarterback.
14:22I know, but that's a whole different situation.
14:26That'll take.
14:26But what I'm saying is stop putting what has happened to the dolphins on tour.
14:32Kind of sounds like it's not kind of sounds like though.
14:34If it was Cam Ward, you'd be into that.
14:35No, I wasn't.
14:37Because your response was there to take.
14:40Here's what I would say.
14:42Here's what I would say.
14:43Tour is a really good quarterback.
14:45I agree.
14:45I'm a tour fan.
14:46And for people to say that all of this is on a quarterback and what I would say to you
14:54is this.
14:55Instead of spitting out gas and telling everybody what the problem is, give me a solution.
15:03Because you say, oh, if we had a different quarterback, we, you know, blah, blah, blah,
15:07blah.
15:07But I say this.
15:09Would the team be better if you just had the two pass rushers?
15:12Probably a lot better.
15:13You see what I mean?
15:14That's real or real or.
15:17But you can't come in here and bitch and moan about a quarterback right after a game.
15:23It was 25 or 28 and drove the team down the field to tie the game.
15:27Yep.
15:27You can't come in and complain about the quarterback last two weeks.
15:30He's had the lead untied, right?
15:33So let's if you got a problem with the team.
15:38Didn't at least make valid points, but every single week coming in here talking about.
15:46The quarterback.
15:48We're the only fan base that complained about a quarterback that went 25 or 28.
15:53Drove the team down the field, which is something you said he couldn't do.
15:57You should be talking about the real issue, which is we just signed a long snapper named
16:00Tucker Addington.
16:04This is why I do a show with a buffoon.
16:06Y'all get mad at me because I tried that.
16:09Like we sit here, have a real talk.
16:12This guy's talking about Patrick Harrington.
16:17Tucker Paddington talk about Joey Harrington, right?
16:22Like, what are we doing?
16:24Dude, if the long snapper walked in a dolphin uniform and snapped the ball through that
16:29glass, you'd say, who the hell is that?
16:31Yeah, well, I've never, I mean, he's new.
16:32I don't know.
16:33I've never seen him before.
16:34Because nobody's heard of a football player named Tucker Paddington.
16:38Nobody Paddington.
