00:00Say what you want about Nerd Boy and celebrate Rex Ryan saying what he said.
00:06Tua has owned the Patriots for a bit, and Mike McDaniel has owned the Patriots for a bit.
00:11Yeah, Tua's 7-0 against you. I think he has 11 touchdowns, 4 picks, completes 70% of his passes.
00:19Yeah, he's pretty good against you.
00:21I think what Rex Ryan said is unfair to Mike McDaniel.
00:26Agreed.
00:26I'm not a tough footballer. What am I supposed to be ground and pound if I have Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddell?
00:31I'm supposed to throw the football, right?
00:33It's Rex Bravado.
00:34At the same time, this guy's clearly lost his locker room.
00:38There is no respect left for this head coach. He is a dead man walking for sure.
00:43And so the expectation for the Patriots is that if there's a team on tilt like Miami,
00:47isn't the baseline for the Pats moving forward supposed to be that we're now a buttoned-up operation,
00:52we are a functional football team, and so if we're going up against a team like this that is in disarray,
00:58this is a team we should take advantage of?
01:01Shouldn't that be the expectation for New England?
01:02It should. It absolutely should.
01:06You go down there and you get whipped, you got big problems coming back here.
01:09This is being called maybe one of the biggest games of Mike McDaniel's Dolphins coaching career.
01:13Yep.
01:14Because he's on the ropes.
01:16Yeah.
01:16Zolt thinks he makes the season. I'm not convinced of that.
01:19I'm not convinced he makes the season, and so this is an important game for them,
01:24but he's on the ropes, man.
01:26And the Patriots are supposed to be the team that is disciplined,
01:30that takes advantage of bad football.
01:36And aren't the Dolphins exactly that right now,
01:38based on what you saw from them against the Colts in week one?
01:40100%.
01:41They are the definition of bad football at the moment.
01:43But I would just caution you a little bit in that this guy has had plenty of success against the Patriots.
01:52And the last time the Patriots beat the Dolphins was in 2023 in the Skylar Thompson-Teddy Bridgewater game.
02:01Do you remember that one?
02:02Oh, yeah.
02:02That's the last time.
02:03Unfortunately.
02:04That's the last time the Pats beat these guys.
02:07The last time we won down there was 2019.
02:09One and five against the Dolphins in the last three seasons.
02:13And the last time, again, this is just in that it's not the same players.
02:18It's not the same coaches for the Patriots.
02:20Just that Mike McDaniel has never had any fear of coaching against the Patriots.
02:26Ever.
02:26I don't think he fears anybody.
02:27Ever.
02:28Because it's so new to him, you know?
02:29I don't think he fears anybody.
