00:00The Dolphins had a walk-through practice today.
00:03No Tyreek Hill.
00:04No Devon Achan.
00:06Devon Achan with the calf, dude.
00:07I'm nervous.
00:08I don't like that.
00:09Yes.
00:10We've seen.
00:11But the problem is that in camp, you don't know what level it is.
00:17You don't know if it's just a little soreness.
00:19But I hate.
00:21I never felt this way before.
00:23But ever since calf injury directly affiliated with the old Achilles tear,
00:31I've been nervous.
00:32Every time somebody says, oh, calf injury.
00:36Tyreek Hill still missing practice.
00:39Is he banged up?
00:41Is he legitimately banged up?
00:43You think it's a little make-up stink?
00:45They do camp stuff.
00:47Did you guys see Saturday?
00:50Yeah.
00:50With Cuno.
00:51Yeah.
00:52Did you hear that?
00:52We talked about that.
00:54We talked about it on the-
00:55You thought it was a little weird, right?
00:57Absolutely weird.
00:57Because the answer was weird.
00:59Okay, so-
01:00The answer was weird.
01:00Tua was asked.
01:01Go ahead, Vlad.
01:02You can explain it.
01:02But he was talking about Tyreek.
01:04Cuno asked him about how's the relationship with him and Tyreek.
01:07And then he's like, yeah, me and Tyreek, we're two different guys.
01:10We don't-
01:10You know, pretty much we don't have the same interest or type-
01:15Same sort of interest.
01:17So we don't really hang out like that.
01:19But it's-
01:19And it's like-
01:20But we're working on it.
01:21And it's like, wait a minute.
01:22It's been four years.
01:23You've been together.
01:24You don't have to-
01:25You don't have to-
01:26Go ahead.
01:26This is the quote.
01:27He said, just got to keep the conversations going, hang out a little more.
01:31He has a different personality than I have.
01:33So just finding that balance in between, it's continuing to keep those conversations going.
01:38It's been four years, man.
01:39Let me break it down.
01:40Let me break it down for you.
01:42There's people on the team that are like this.
01:48I have guys that I play with that I was cool with until they said, hey, you want to go hang out?
01:55Absolutely not.
01:56Because you ain't about that life they into.
01:59Because they wanted to go snorkeling?
02:02Yeah, they wanted to snorkel, all right.
02:05But I'm just saying.
02:07So-
02:08You didn't want that evil on you, Ricky Bobby.
02:09To say that when he says we have different interests, it's like the things that Tyreek does and how he does things is different than Tua.
02:16Oh, he handles it.
02:17And think about this.
02:19Tua cannot ever, ever get caught up in one of them Tyreek situations, hanging out with Tyreek.
02:28Oh, that's-
02:29Yeah, I guess.
02:29You see what I'm saying?
02:30So it doesn't mean that they're not cool.
02:33Right.
02:34It just means that they, like, and he tried to explain that when saying, listen, you got 60 guys hanging around.
02:44You're cool with all of them.
02:46Some guys you're cooler with than others.
02:48That's normal.
02:50It's just how he explained it made it sound like there's a problem.
02:54I don't even think they would-
02:55I don't even think-
02:57Some of these guys answer questions that-
02:59They answer them in a way that makes it more difficult.
03:02You've known this game, but this is your fourth season with this person.
03:06Right.
03:06If you never hung out with them the previous three years, they don't need to know that.
03:11So therefore, what's the question?
03:13What do you really ask?
03:14That's what I'm saying.
03:15He's trying to be too honest.
03:17No, Tua's got that about him.
03:19He can't help himself sometimes.
03:20If there's not an issue on the field-
03:22Right.
03:23If there's an issue off the field, it's trying to bring everybody together in that locker room so all 53 players got the same mission.
03:31But guess what?
03:31Once that game is over, all 53 players don't have to hang out with each other.
03:36They just got to hang out with each other when they're on the field, when they're in the locker room, and they're practicing.
03:43But other than that, that's it.
03:44So the question wasn't, hey, are you guys hanging out after work?
03:48You know, that type of question.
03:50It was just, what's your relationship?
03:51He answered it weird.
03:52But here's what the difference-
03:54Yeah, that's it.
03:54No, no, no.
03:55But the difference here is we have a situation where Tyreek Hill is very clearly trying to mend fences because he upset people last year by the way last year ended.
04:04Okay, but here's the difference.
04:05But here's the difference.
04:07You can be sorry and apologetic, but you're still at the other person's pace that you offended.
04:15Yeah.
04:16And so, like, without trying to do that, maybe they all, maybe Tua's like, you know what?
04:24He's apologized before.
04:26I'm going to ride this one out a little bit, you know, to see if he's being sincere.
04:30And, like, it's nothing my issue with all of them.
04:37I want to see them get some working together before the season starts.
04:41Because guess what?
04:44You know what makes friends?
04:47Winning.
04:48Yeah.
04:48Good football.
04:50I know I've been in fistfights with guys that I hugged after we won.
04:54Right?
04:55That's the nature of it.
04:57So, you're not playing football.
05:00You're not even practicing together.
05:02To now ask a quarterback about a wide receiver who you already got problems with and then you're not practicing?
05:10It's a tough spot.
05:12And Tua tried to be honest about it.
05:14Well, that's, but again, and I appreciate his honesty because you always appreciate honesty in the media.
05:20But I also do know, you know, like, there is a damage control element to it.
05:24And it feels like sometimes Tua finds himself in positions where, like, I can't lie about this.
05:31Right.
05:31I can't.
05:31It's not in me.
05:32It's not in me to just no sell it and move on.
05:35Because you could have just, he easily could have just told Mike.
05:38He could have been like, we're all good, baby.
05:40We're rolling along.
05:41But he's like, eh.
05:42Yeah, but he tried to, like, like, here.
05:45He tried to break down the process of it all.
05:47Can I just tell you why you can't say we're all good?
05:50You can't say we're all good for this reason.
05:53Because of the other guys in the locker room, they might have more of a problem of what he did than you did.
06:02And you have to respect that.
06:05And so that's why you kind of go about it in a way of, hey, Tyreek has to, you know, do some things and make it right.
06:13And we're good.
06:14And we're working at it.
06:15And we're doing all we can to get us where we need to be, you know, but we're not there yet.
06:21And that's fine.
06:22But the problem is, part of the reason why coach speak and quarterback speak has been invented is because people don't like honesty.
06:35Right?
06:36They don't know what to do with honesty.
06:38They don't know what to do with it.
06:39They make it some big thing when, you know what?
06:42Just imagine you being in a situation like that and somebody trying to make good with you.
06:48And you say, yeah, we're working on it, but we ain't there yet.
06:52That's no big deal.
06:54That's life.
06:55We're making a bigger deal about it than it is.
06:57It don't mean they can't play together.
06:58It's not a big deal now.
06:59And I've said this with the whole Tyreek Hill thing.
07:01Nothing is a big deal right now.
07:03It's a big deal.
07:03Like you said, winning heels all.
07:05It's a big deal if they don't win, because then it becomes more of a thing.
07:10That's why it's a big deal.
07:12It's because it's in a very fragile state.
07:14Let me tell you what I do, and this is how you feed into it, right?
07:20Anytime we played a team with a disgruntled wide receiver,
07:26because they are the first ones to get in their feelings, right,
07:30if they don't get the ball.
07:31Because the media will run to them right after the game, win or lose,
07:35if you only got two catches and you're supposed to be the stud receiver,
07:39the number one, right?
07:41If I'm on another team, you know what the first thing I do is?
07:44Let's take Tyreek out no matter what and see what his frustration level is
07:50because we can make this thing implode from the inside out,
07:54and then we won't even have to guard him.
07:56And that's what you do.
07:58So we'll see how this works out.
08:03Not when things are going great.
08:05Not when he's catching eight passes for 130.
08:08We need catching one pass for 10.
08:10I'm going to tell you right now, that duo,
08:11they better burn those hammies of Xavier and Howard,
08:13because if Xavier and Howard, if he shuts your ass down or he gets a pick,
08:16I'm going to be furious.
08:18I am going to be furious if that happens.
08:21Is week one a must-win game?
08:23It's a don't lose.
08:24Oh, it's a don't lose.
08:24It's a don't lose.
08:25I'm glad you asked, though.
08:28What?
08:30I just did that to bother you.
08:31Yeah, he just did that to bother you.
08:33He did that to mess.
08:35I am glad you asked, though, Vlad.
08:36But no, it's not a must-win, but it is a don't lose.
08:39Have you done the schedule yet with the-
08:42You want me to group them together?
08:44I will have to put that together this week.
08:46Do that for me Thursday when I'm back.
08:48In.
08:48You got it, buddy.
08:49I will categorize every game for you if you want me to do that.
08:52I want you to do that.
08:53I will do that.
08:53And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, he does.
08:57We should say-
08:58No, I'm good.
08:58I'm good.
08:59Mike Cugno is being accused of Cap for Life of stirring it up.
09:02Yeah, he's stirring it up.
09:03He didn't stir it up.
09:04He's an instigator.
09:04How is Mike Cugno an instigator?
09:06Is there anybody who's less of an instigator than Mike Cugno?
09:08He's a very pleasant man.
09:09I just think that when you hear guys talk every day, you tend to read into what they say
09:20a little bit more than you would if- I don't think that's a big deal.
09:26That's relationships.
09:27Like, dude, we work in a building that sometimes has 30 people in it.
09:32I want to-
09:32We don't get along with everybody.
09:33You think-
09:34We got to work together.
09:35You think Steven Ross is going to be in the booth this weekend?
09:38Usually does.
09:39He doesn't do any media anymore, but he does usually do that one little sit-in for like-
09:43Or they send a representative.
09:44They might send a-
09:46You better not send me Garfinkel.
09:48Why not?
09:48Nah.
09:49You send me Steven Ross or nobody.
09:50You know who they're going to send.
09:51He usually does.
09:52He does one little sit-in.
09:54I know who they're not going to send.
09:54Who, 13?
09:56Chris Gritt.
09:57Oh, no way.
09:58They probably have Dan talk.
10:00No way, dude.
10:01No, I think Steven Ross is going to pop into that booth.
10:04You got to talk to Bo Camper and Steve Goldstein.
10:06I tell you what, not for nothing, right, that if they don't win, it won't be for lack
10:17of trying, right?
10:19That guy's throwing more money into this organization, the stadium, the area, the team, than a lot
10:27of owners would, right?
10:31But, I don't know.
10:36I don't know if he comes.
10:38I don't know if he talks.
10:39I think they send somebody.
10:40We'll see.
10:41I don't know if he comes.
10:41You think he's going to pass.
10:45What?
