00:00A lot of smoke in South Florida.

00:01When you looked at the Miami Dolphins roster for the past two to three years,

00:06the head coach that was a boy genius that you thought that big things were in store.

00:10Have they played good football times?

00:12Yes.

00:12Has their quarterback gotten injured at the wrong times?

00:15Absolutely.

00:16But there was way too much talent in Miami for the productivity, Joe,

00:19that we got out of their seasons.

00:21Now, we're not saying they're going to be terrible this year,

00:23but I'm basically telling you they might be terrible this year.

00:26Matthew Judon comes down on a one-year deal.

00:28Veteran player that can get after the quarterback, it's never a bad thing.

00:32But anytime I just hear anything about the Miami Dolphins,

00:34even if it's getting a quality player, I just still get back to the organization

00:38and say, this is the worst powder keg in the NFL.

00:41It just doesn't seem like you're going to light the fuse,

00:43and when the gas can explodes, it's 12 wins.

00:48It feels like you light it, the gas can goes up in flames,

00:51and you find three wins and everything blown up in the organization.

00:55But Judon heads down to the Miami Dolphins.

00:56Yeah, and we've heard a lot this preseason about how there is a lack of leadership

01:06in that locker room.

01:07A lot of people point that it starts at the top with their coach, McDaniel,

01:13who is on a short leash.

01:16And he comes out and does interviews and says some of the wildest stuff, Donnie.

01:21You know, you're kind of scratching your head with him.

01:25But if we are already having issues with leadership in the locker room, you know,

01:31winning cures a lot.

01:32But you know what?

01:33Losing just exasperates it and just puts it on a collision course of, all right,

01:38halfway through the season, the Dolphins will be looking for a new head coach here.

01:43But, you know, the Dolphins every year have been about the health of Tua.

01:48If Tua and you can protect Tua, which there is a lot of question marks on whether that offensive

01:54line can protect him, if you can protect Tua and he can get in line with he's got the talent

02:00around him, you know, wide receivers, tight end, then Dolphins will be fine.

02:05The problem is, if any of that breaks down, it's going to get ugly quickly, Donnie.

02:12And I mean quickly here in South Florida.
