00:00I will say I watched Cam Ward yesterday, that line at the Gaines line for the ACC.

00:05Oh, my goodness.

00:06Although I will say.

00:08Like, you know what?

00:10If you watched any of that game, you would 100% believe more in Cam Ward

00:19because you saw what the struggles were.

00:23And so –

00:24And when they go to his dad because he hit a bullet right to Ridley

00:26and Ridley dropped it, and his dad was like,

00:28because they were like, oh, Mr. Ward, very poised for his son being in the NFL

00:34for his first game, and then his son puts it right on the money,

00:37and then they go to his dad, and he's like, damn it, no.

00:43I don't even care about the Dolphins.

00:44I mean, I don't even care about the Titans, and it's like –

00:46I was even like, are you kidding me?

00:48That's all I wanted.

00:48I was like, you know, give me something.

00:49I mean, how many times did we see it this weekend?

00:51It's like in a whole bunch of games.

00:54Guys couldn't catch.

00:55No, it was CeeDee Lamb on Thursday.

00:57CeeDee Lamb.

00:57Yeah.

00:58Oof.

00:59Oof.

00:59Dude.

01:00Oof.

01:02But you know what?

01:03Of all the players, CeeDee Lamb was the one to say, I sucked.

01:09Yeah, him and now Derrick Henry.

01:11That was –

01:12Oof.

01:12Yeah.

01:13Derrick Henry was 10 yards and 10 yards and carry.

01:15Can I just tell you, he stiffed on – on that first touchdown he had,

01:21when he stiffed armed, oh boy, I'm like, he looks like a child.

01:25I can't believe they lost that game.

01:27Let's go – here's some callers, Leroy.

01:29Let's hear it from our boy, Handsome Daffy.

01:31Hello, Handsome Daffy.

01:33What's up?

01:34With the 2026 first-round pick, the Miami Dolphins select, don't even matter.

01:39Listen, man.

01:41It starts at the top.

01:43We got the crib keeper just writing checks to anybody.

01:47General manager needs to go.

01:48I'm sorry.

01:49Leroy, I understand it's the first game, but a team that bad is not allowed to have

01:54a bad first game.

01:56Hey, I didn't even say that.

01:57Because the fans are sick of it.

01:58I haven't used that phrase yet.

01:59I'm proud of you.

02:00I'm proud of you.

02:00I haven't used that phrase yet because, look, I'm going to be honest with you.

02:06I can understand if you competed and lost, but your overall tenor of the team looks better.

02:14That's not what we're talking about.

02:15What we are talking about right now is the fact that this isn't even close.

02:24And so while I'm usually, look, I'm usually, and everybody gets on me, I'm usually more

02:34positive than fans are because I've been there.

02:39But there's no, I can't pull anything positive.

02:43Nor should you.

02:44Out of this game.

02:45Nor should you.

02:46I mean, and then look at all that money we spent on the D-line and they did nothing.

02:51They didn't even, like.

02:52Not a whiff.

02:53I mean, like.

02:55Not a whiff.

02:55Wait.

02:56And here's the crazy thing.

03:00You make an assumption about a player because of what he did at another place.

03:09But in most cases, that talent is still there.

03:13And what I would say about Daniel Jones, and look, the Dolphins didn't help any.

03:20Right?

03:20He just looked like he had some bad coaching.

03:25Perhaps.

03:26Right?

03:26Yeah, perhaps.

03:27Which, when you think about it, how many teams, how many organizations have ruined quarterbacks?

03:33Tons.

03:34Right.

03:35So, like, the skill set was there.

03:37I didn't think he was going to be that damn good.

03:39Crazy.

03:40He carved him up.

03:40Listen, we just gave that man an extension.

03:43He will get an extension based off that game.

03:46That's how bad the Dolphins was.

03:47Yeah.

03:48Yeah.

03:48Thanks, handsome Daffy.

03:51There you go.

03:51Let's hear from Eddie.

03:52What's up, Eddie?

03:55He's going.

03:56Bye, Eddie.

03:57Cat.

03:57What's going on, Cat?

04:00Tobin!

04:01Hey.

04:02Well, good morning.

04:03Good morning, Leroy.

04:04Good morning, Brittany.

04:05And good morning to everyone.

04:06I just, you know, I would like to keep this to a minimum.

04:15I've been ridiculed for my stance regarding this team.

04:19I've been, to some point, even labeled as a racist for not supporting the general manager.

04:24Big old cough, cough.

04:25But, I'll tolerate all that nonsense because I'm about the logo.

04:30And no matter what, we're still going to be here.

04:33But at what point in time does the fan base get to start to question players going down yesterday,

04:41the quarterback turning the ball over again,

04:44and me hearing the past week and a half, this is a must win.

04:51Leroy, when someone says it's a must win, Greg Cody,

04:56and that prophecy does not come to fruition,

05:01what do you think is going to happen after that?

05:04Especially on the thin layer of ice that this organization is walking on,

05:10what do you think the outcome was going to be today once we lost to a backup quarterback?

05:14I'm just carrying it.

05:16No, people are going to be pissed.

05:17Rightfully so.

05:18You have every right.

05:19You listen.

05:20And here's where I come in on this.

05:24It's not even about the win or the loss.

05:27You didn't even compete.

05:28No, it was an embarrassment.

05:30Right.

05:31And that's what I have a problem with more than anything.

05:34When I say it's week one,

05:37I only say that because I leave, like, you can go and play.

05:42So, for example, you still think Baltimore is better than Buffalo?

05:48That has nothing to do with us being in last place right now.

05:51Put them on a hold there.

05:52Hold that.

05:53No.

05:54You understand?

05:54I think Baltimore flames out in incredible fashion.

05:58Right.

05:58I don't know what they're doing.

05:59But we still think they're a better football.

06:01What I'm saying is that sometimes you can play a game and not win the game,

06:06but you look good.

06:07For sure.

06:07And that's – I was leaving room open for that.

06:10But this?

06:10Yeah.

06:11No.

06:11Everybody in the NFL outside of the Dolphins, the Panthers,

06:16and the Giants played competitive games yesterday.

06:19Right.

06:19And the Dolphins were by far the worst.

06:23The worst.

06:23By far.

06:24And at least –

06:25We're saying that about Carolina?

06:27Yes.

06:28About – who else?

06:31Anybody think Vegas was going to be any good?

06:34Day one?

06:35The only team that should feel worse than the Dolphins is New England

06:41because they had proclaimed they were going to compete for it.

06:44Yeah.

06:44But you know what?

06:44At least that's a first-year coach.

06:46That's a young team.

06:48It's a third-year quarterback.

06:49It's a first-year coach in New England.

06:51First-year coach in New England.

06:52He's not a first-year coach.

06:52I understand.

06:53I understand.

06:53But still, like, there's no way you could – no.

06:55There's no way that that's – nobody should feel worse than the Dolphins.

06:58Right.

06:58No, I know.

06:59I don't even know if you're Steve Ross.

07:00Other than just being old and not caring anymore,

07:02I don't know how you don't want to fire somebody after that,

07:05even if it's the water boy.

07:07Just you – like, that's a classic Vlad streets need a body game.

07:11Like, that's how bad that was.

07:13I'm sorry.

07:13Cat, you can finish your point, buddy, if you're done.

07:15I don't know if he's wrong.

07:16I'm just curious, man.

07:18At this point in time, we're trying to figure out if Garfinkel put this roster

07:23together, scouted the players, and drafted the players,

07:25and picked the coaches.

07:27I mean, when is the general manager going to be held accountable at some point?

07:30I'm just curious.

07:31No, I don't – and that's the thing that I'm scared about is I don't think

07:35that he is because I feel like he's already laying the groundwork to put this

07:38all on Mike.

07:38That's the insanity if you let this happen again.

07:40You know this, right, Tobin?

07:41Of course.

07:42But I don't – but, dude, he survived in this organization for 20 years.

07:44And you're content with that.

07:45You're making it seem like they're going to get a free pass,

07:47and you're content with that.

07:48I mean, it's not contention.

07:49It's just reality.

07:50And you think that's reality?

07:52You think that should be our reality?

07:54I do think that is what your reality is.

07:56It doesn't matter if I want it or not.

07:57Your reality is going to be if a guy's been around for – no, no, no, no.

07:59Hold on.

07:59It should be our reality.

08:00If a guy's going to be around for 20 years, Cap –

08:03We deserve better.

08:04You're trying to force-peach something that's not working.

08:07Who's we?

08:08We didn't hire him.

08:08We didn't hire him?

08:10You guys wanted the quarterback pay.

08:12That's true.

08:12I did want the quarterback pay.

08:13Yeah, absolutely.

08:15But you're deflecting.

08:16That's not what you just argued.

08:17That's not what you just talked about.

08:18You're lashing out now, Cap.

08:20It's all right.

08:21I'm lashing out a little bit.

08:22All right.

08:23We'll talk to you later.

08:26Talk to you later.

08:27We'll get one more here.

08:28Mike, what's going on, Mike?

08:31Mike?

08:33Mike, you there?

08:35This is Tim.

08:36Oh, hey, Tim.

08:37Hey, Brendan.

08:39How are you, buddy?

08:40Good.

08:42Can we talk about some winners, though, like the Seminoles and the Hurricanes

08:46and get this garbage out of here?

08:47I mean, we can if you want to.

08:49I mean, but can we also laugh at the Gators because they lost a game because

08:53somebody spit on somebody?

08:55We'll throw the Bulls in there, too.

08:56We'll talk about the winning teams in Florida.

08:58Is that crazy?

09:00Like, dude.

09:01Of all weeks to spit on somebody, you know that didn't go well for the NFL.

09:05Right.

09:06Like, well, wait.

09:08First of all, what kind of unmanly thing are you doing, spitting on somebody?

09:12It's so gross.

09:14This is, like, the lowest level of manhood there is.

09:17Yep.

09:18Besides sucker punching somebody.

09:20Mm-hmm.

09:22I felt like the Dolphins got sucker punched yesterday.

09:24No, they didn't.

09:25You know what the Dolphins did?

09:27I felt like they walked right into the middle of the ring, stuck their chin out,

09:29and they got uppercutted to hell.

09:31No, they got Masvidal.

09:34Yep.

09:36I just.

09:37Which one?

09:37When he got knocked out or when he did the flying knee?

09:39I don't know.

09:40He's always partying.

09:41Flying knee.

09:42I, my, my whole problem with all this is I was trying to be positive, but the whole

09:52time I was.

09:53I know it was easy.

09:55I was uneasy because of what I was seeing in training camp.

10:00And I was trying to, oh, look, if they're like this and they do this and, and whatever,

10:05and I'll be damned if we start throwing them low, you know, three yard loss passes again.

10:11Um, yep.

10:13You know, we got to get comfortable.

10:14You got to get them in a rhythm.

10:15You got to get uncomfortable.

10:15No, you don't.

10:16That's not a rhythm, dude.

10:17Cause I'm telling you, I'm a lot of teams in the NFL do that and they get real close to

10:22look like they're getting ready to get picked.

10:23Oh, yeah.

10:24That's a lot.

10:25That's a lot.

10:27I know.

10:28I know.

10:28I know I'm a little bit.

10:29I know.

10:31I know.

10:32There's a lot of people.
