Oronde Gadsden does NOT hold back discussing all that is wrong with the current Miami Dolphins

4 months ago

Former Dolphins WR Oronde Gadsden doesn't hold back when sharing his takeaways from a brutal start to the Miami Dolphins season.

Transcript

00:00And Arande Gadsden is on the Toyota of Hollywood hotline.

00:03Before we talk football, I remind you the best place to get geared up

00:07with Canes or Dolphins merch is Canesware.

00:10And Davey, you're online at canesware.com.

00:13Arande, of course, receiver for the Dolphins many seasons.

00:15His son, OG II, which is why you heard California love,

00:19is on the L.A. Chargers.

00:21He was inactive for game one.

00:23Chargers beat the Chiefs.

00:24Did you know, Arande, that little OG was going to be inactive?

00:27Or did you learn about it around game time when the inactives came out?

00:33I learned about it from DraftKings.

00:38They sent me.

00:41I learned about it because I met them to have an anytime touchdown.

00:47And then the inactive list came out.

00:50Yeah, yeah.

00:51I think the DraftKings came up and Nate Selby and Dan.

00:56And, you know, as a player, I mean, you know, 46 dress, 53 come.

01:01You know, it sucks when you put your stuff in your locker on Saturday

01:04and you get there on Sunday and it's gone, packed up.

01:06You're like, man, what's going on?

01:08But he was shook for a second.

01:10Is that how you find out?

01:13Yeah.

01:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:14I mean, it never happened to me, but I see some people that happen to.

01:20So, I know, and, you know, listen, the only day that matters is today.

01:26You know what I'm saying?

01:28Like, you get the wrecked deposit today.

01:32I would just say, I would just say I was optimistic Uncle Chan throughout the cut process.

01:38So, I'm going to tell you, they utilized the hell out of their tight end.

01:42So, just let him wait.

01:43Let him wait and he's going to get some run.

01:45Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:46No, I'm not.

01:47Yeah, no, I'm not.

01:48Listen, man, we could take a red shirt.

01:50Yeah, it's all good.

01:51Like, you know what I mean?

01:52Like I said, today is the most important day, you know.

01:55But, you know, it's a long season, so we wait, you know, hopefully.

01:59You know, it seems like when we get to the Dolphins game, we might get some run.

02:03But I know it was the Chiefs game.

02:05It was in Brazil.

02:06Pretty tough game.

02:06So, they said they needed more DBs.

02:09So, that's what they told them.

02:10So, we're good to go.

02:11So, what about the Dolphins, OG?

02:14That was as embarrassing a loss as I can recall.

02:19And I just wonder, did that loss, is it oversized to you because of how embarrassing it was?

02:29Or, hey, don't let your emotions run away with you.

02:33It's still just one loss.

02:35There's 16 more games.

02:38You know, it's kind of both.

02:40I mean, you got to take it for what it's worth.

02:42It was terrible.

02:43But it's the same things we've been saying for the last, since the 70-20 game.

02:49It's the same thing we've been saying.

02:51You know what I mean?

02:52It's the same.

02:53You're running the same offense.

02:54They got it.

02:55They got on to it.

02:56You know, it's been two years.

02:59Three years.

03:00They're on to it.

03:01They know it's coming.

03:02You know?

03:03And so, you know, tour didn't look tour-ish.

03:08You know, that makes it worse.

03:10You know?

03:10And so, I think all the things just, you know, came up all at once.

03:17You know, we don't have, you know, you see Ramsey somewhere else making some plays.

03:23We don't have the deep tackles like we're supposed to.

03:28You know, the safety's not good.

03:31All the players we lost, we didn't keep.

03:33You know, everything came up all in one time.

03:36Like, you know, Tyreek over there being unhappy.

03:42I mean, it just all came up in week one.

03:45And, you know, it doesn't surprise me.

03:48You know, it surprised me at how, you know, unprepared they were because you did have a

03:55training camp and you did win all your preseason games.

03:57So, you had to expect this.

04:00You know, this was the first game and you got to, you know, come out.

04:03But, you know, I think everybody's got the book.

04:07Everybody knows.

04:07I've been saying it for, what, two, three years.

04:10He only got an A game plan.

04:12And we know the A game plan.

04:14We know it.

04:15We know it.

04:15You're going to Tyreek.

04:17You're going to throw out the backfield of the A chain.

04:20We got it.

04:21We got it together.

04:23You know, if there's nobody else knew that, you know, okay, Waddle and Tyreek are going

04:28to carry the bear.

04:29You know, nothing else.

04:30There's nothing else.

04:31Like, we're looking for.

04:32So, you, you know, you jam the middle and make them try to throw the ball outside the

04:37numbers and make those throws.

04:40There's not, just, you know, just not happening.

04:43And so, and so, you know, what's, what's, what's not concerning, but odd to me is because,

04:49you know, not that I had got, you know, inside information, but, you know, my son was going

04:54through the process and he went through the process with, you know, with the Dolphins and

04:58they were adamant about, you know, I thought he'd be a good, you know, backup for John

05:03O.

05:03Smith, providing they kept John O.

05:05Smith, but they told us they were going in a different direction because the offense

05:09was going to change to more of a running offense and they wanted a bigger blocking tight end.

05:14And I was like, okay, cool.

05:16Well, you know, nothing we could do about that.

05:18You know, and I, and I thought that was cool when I was in the meeting, like, yeah, we need

05:22to run the ball.

05:23We need to get a big back.

05:24We need to, you know, use Ingo and just let's run the, run the game.

05:28But in the back of my mind, I was always saying, I don't think the dude can call them plays.

05:34I don't think the dude in the joggers with the sunglasses and the watch could call, you

05:38know, like an eye formation pond ship.

05:41I don't think that, but hey, I was going with it.

05:44It sounded good.

05:46It didn't happen.

05:47And that's, you know, it has to happen for us to move forward.

05:52So whoever, you know, eventually comes in is going to have to put that in place for, for

05:58it to work for Tua.

05:59You know what I mean?

06:00I get it.

06:01You know, we want to pass the ball around.

06:03And the thing for me is if you can think of all the quarterbacks Sunday that stood in

06:09that pocket, they lost.

06:11Like, you know what I mean?

06:12You got to move around.

06:13Dak, you stay in the pocket while Jalen Hurd's running around.

06:18Okay, you lose.

06:19Cam Ward, you're going to just stay in the pocket and throw.

06:21You're not going to run around.

06:22Okay, well, you're going to lose.

06:24Tua, you're going to stay in the pocket.

06:25Daniel Jones running around out here.

06:27And you just going to, you ran eventually in the fourth quarter.

06:31I see Tua get out and run.

06:32It's not going to work like that.

06:33You have to move.

06:34You know, your O-line is not that good.

06:36The defensive ends and linemen are just too good right now.

06:40So until we fix all them problems, that's what's going to happen.

06:43Don't put this in Hawk's mind about this Tua running thing because this is all he wants

06:47to hear from you.

06:48Tua should not be running.

06:50Oh, gee, if he's hurt now, where was Zach Wilson?

06:53Naked boots.

06:53Naked bootleg.

06:56I don't think, you know, even last night they were like, well, you know, it's J.J.'s first

07:01time.

07:02We got to move the pocket.

07:03Let's move the pocket.

07:04Like, you know, it's fourth and three.

07:08Sometimes you're going to have to fake the pass or fake the toss and run the three yards.

07:14I mean, you just have to do it.

07:16There's no other way, Channing.

07:17It's going to work.

07:19Every other quarterback is mobile.

07:21All the winning ones, all the good ones are mobile.

07:23They're going to get a 41-40 game the other night.

07:27You got to move.

07:29You have to.

07:30You have to.

07:32Williams last night, first touchdown, he ran in the end zone.

07:35Got to buck somebody to get in the end zone.

07:37You can't just, like, I'm going to stay back here because I'm afraid I'm going to get hurt.

07:42Like, I mean, this is the kind of game you're going to have.

07:44They know where you're throwing the ball.

07:46Like, they know it.

07:47They know you're throwing the ball inside the hashes.

07:50They know it.

07:52Who's that on?

07:53It's tough to watch.

07:54OG, quickly, who's that on?

07:56Because Xavier Howard said it, too.

07:59It's on the offensive coordinator.

08:01Who is that?

08:02But can Tua not throw outside or they're not asking him to throw outside?

08:08I don't know.

08:09I mean, you have to throw outside.

08:11Like, it's one thing, even when I was, you know, coaching at Heritage and we were coaching against each other,

08:18Jimmy did one thing that always stuck in my mind.

08:20And, you know, obviously, you know, I'm a receiver.

08:23I want the ball.

08:23And we had, you know, one of the fastest guys in the country.

08:27But it was always four deep balls a game.

08:32That's one a quarter.

08:33That's not asking a lot.

08:35You might get a pass interference.

08:37You might catch it and get a touchdown.

08:39You know what I mean?

08:39Like, there are a few things that could happen.

08:41You could drop it.

08:42You know what I mean?

08:43A few things.

08:43But if you're not going to do it at all, you know, you got no shot.

08:49You know what I'm saying?

08:50And two of the three things are going to be good.

08:53You know, you're going to catch it.

08:53You're going to get pass interference.

08:55You could drop it.

08:56But two of the three are going to be good.

08:58And we're just not doing it.

09:00Like, I don't know whose, you know, issue it is.

09:03Like, but when we were winning, at least that was something we could look forward to.

09:09Like, you know, Tyreek not going to just outrun everybody.

09:13You know what I mean?

09:14Like, he catches a little fire pass and just outrun everybody.

09:17I think those days are gone.

09:19Like, you have to find somebody that can threaten deep and open up everything.

09:25Even if you don't catch it, you got to throw it.

09:28Like, we're not even throwing it.

09:30So, I don't know if that's, you know, I don't know if they say he can't do it or that's the concept.

09:37But, I mean, we just don't do it.

09:39We don't go outside the numbers.

09:41And that's where you have to throw those deep balls.

09:43Like, they have to – even I saw, you know, Marvin Harrison Jr. catching ice ball the other day outside the numbers or outside shoulder.

09:53Boom, catch the ball and go out of bounds.

09:55I mean, we have to do it.

09:56We don't do it.

09:57So, you know, those are things I've been harping on for three years.

10:01It doesn't really, you know – you know, the change is going to come.

10:06So, we just have to get ready for that.

10:08It's just, you know, the bad part is for us, for the fans, it's like college.

10:13Like, no, we're going to change quarterback.

10:14We're going to change coach.

10:15We're going to change GM.

10:16So, you know, that's going to take, like, another four years.

10:20Like, you know, the freshmen got to get seniors before this happens.

10:23Like, you know, that's just bad.

10:25Just bad for everybody involved.

10:27Like, you know, even – you know, I get it.

10:29But why you got Matthew Judon rushing the punter?

10:32Like, why you even do that?

10:33He's like an 11-year vet.

10:35I thought about you.

10:37I literally thought of you, OG, when that happened because you told us

10:41what Minnesota brought you in after, you know,

10:43however many years you had with the Dolphins.

10:45And they were like, hey, you're going to play special teams.

10:47You're like, no, I'm not.

10:48No, no, man.

10:50Come on.

10:50No, I ain't giving you nothing on that.

10:52Put somebody else who can get you something.

10:55Hey, OG.

10:56Put a young chat on him.

10:57What would your reaction be if week one, your team –

11:03you're in the huddle.

11:04Your team's down 33-0.

11:06It's fourth and goal at the 11-yard line.

11:09And the play call from Dan was a screen pass to the running back

11:14to catch the ball at the 10 and get a block to get into the end zone.

11:17What would your reaction be as a wide receiver?

11:20All right.

11:22I mean, I'm trying to block it, but why are you not throwing me a tunnel screen

11:27going in?

11:27Let me score a touchdown.

11:28But anyway, I would block for them.

11:30I would show a block.

11:32I mean, you know, you want to get the zero off the board.

11:36No, no, right.

11:37But look, and the Dolphins scored the touchdown there,

11:39but we were just poking fun at the fact that, like,

11:41you haven't done anything on offense all game.

11:43It's fourth and goal, your last chance to actually get on the board

11:47and avoid the donut, and the play is a screen pass to the running back

11:52at the line of scrimmage.

11:54Like, why not find Tyreek in the end zone?

11:56Why not find a Rondé in the end zone?

12:01That's the whole thing.

12:02Like, you know, what's the biggest receiver they've got?

12:05You know, the fade to Tyreek is the first one to the pylon.

12:09You know what I mean?

12:09Like, it's just not the same.

12:12The concepts are just, you know, that's the concept.

12:15You know what I'm saying?

12:15Motion, motion, A-chan out there, and if somebody go with him,

12:19you know, it should be if somebody go with him,

12:23then the quarterback fakes the throw and runs up the middle for the touchdown.

12:27But quarterback not running, so when A-chan goes in motion,

12:32we're hoping we can snap the ball and throw it to him

12:35before the linebacker who follows him gets out there before, you know.

12:38It's just, you know, it's just a bad, bad situation we're in.

12:42And, I mean, you know how I feel about going to Buffalo.

12:49Jesus, word.

12:50Don't get ahead of ourselves, OG.

12:54We got another game before that.

12:55Don't get ahead of ourselves.

12:56My bad, my bad, my bad, my bad.

12:59Who do the Chargers have?

13:00Who do the Chargers have Sunday?

13:03Raiders, Monday night.

13:0510 o'clock.

13:0610 o'clock.

13:07Another primetime game.

13:09Yeah.

13:10Yeah, yeah.

13:11They play late, so we, you know, and listen, you know,

13:14might get a double dipper to fight out there in Vegas, too.

13:20Oh, yeah.

13:21Trying to kind of decide.

13:22OG, you ain't going to fight nobody, OG.

13:26You ain't got no fight to even up.

13:28No, no, the fight.

13:28The fight.

13:29The fight.

13:30The fight.

13:31Oh, yeah.

13:32See the fight.

13:34I thought you were talking about somebody in the crowd tries you,

13:37and now you're going to swing on them.

13:38No, no, no, no, no.

13:40No, that's like you doing that 225.

13:43It just ain't happening.

13:46It just ain't happening.

13:50I got a bunch of tickets to sell, but it ain't not happening.

13:55It's a bad feeling when you start questioning yourself physically.

13:59Man, you sold them tickets, man.

14:02Jeez, Louise, Barnum, and Bailey.

14:04Oh, I'm going to get my – oh, I'm going to at least get –

14:07Don't get on – don't get on to there.

14:12I got to see you sooner on that guy.

14:15I got to take you for a Hockman burger.

14:18Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

14:19Let's do that.

14:20I'm ready for that.

14:21Did you catch it in half, or you ate it the whole thing?

14:25I ate the whole thing when I went last week,

14:26but I forgot that I have to alert Mr. Gadston at least three days in advance

14:32before I ask him to beat me out for a burger.

14:35Yeah, you can't call me an hour before the game or the start

14:41and say, hey, meet me for a burger.

14:43It's Notre Dame, Miami.

14:45Like, you're going to call me at 647, like, hey, you're going to meet me

14:49for a burger.

14:50I don't know what I'm going to say to you.

14:52What are you talking about, man?

14:54I mean, it looked good, though.

14:56It was enticing.

14:57But, yeah.

14:59We'll go.

15:00We'll go next week.

15:00Channing, did you have one?

15:02Channing, did you have one?

15:03I had one a couple years ago.

15:04I haven't had one this year, so we're going to plan something to get up there

15:07because it is delicious.

15:08I remember.

15:09It's a hell of a burger.

15:11It's got a fried egg on it or no?

15:13No.

15:14No, it's got chili, sour cream.

15:17What else, Hulk?

15:18Fritos.

15:19Fritos.

15:20There we go.

15:21Oh.

15:22Like a burger in a bag.

15:26Like a taco in a bag.

15:27Frito pie.

15:28Frito pie.

15:29Yeah, like a Frito pie.

15:30Okay.

15:30Oh, gee, this ain't no frozen brown patty.

15:34This is real solid half a pound of beef patty.

15:39Oh, I'm going to have to bring me some Tums just in case things go awry.

15:43I'll tell you what.

15:44It wouldn't be the worst idea because it's great when you're eating it.

15:48But, man, when I'm 55 years old, I'm feeling that later on.

15:53I know, I got to drive back to plantation on that sawgrass if I hit a little something.

16:02It's available at Tucker Duke's Lunchbox in Deerfield Beach.

16:06That's the place to get it.

16:08Rondé, we got to run.

16:09We appreciate your time.

16:10And we will talk to you before the Buffalo game next week.

16:15So, yeah.

16:16Yeah, you will.

16:19We're going to hope for the best against those Patriots.

16:22We owe them for a lot of years.

16:25All right, man.

16:25Talk to y'all later.

16:26Thank you, OG.
