00:00i haven't heard much talk about that i think we mentioned it once with some maybe perk um that
00:06that was quizzical at best when especially when you're just getting eaten up on defense and and
00:11we were all praising willie gay during preseason so that was quizzical i'm glad that uh he has
00:17acknowledged he needs to be out there first off well the first offensive side is easy where he
00:23said he can't throw outside we packed the paint nobody spoke on packing the paint because that's
00:27been said before that everything's across the middle for two he never throws outside routes
00:32and we've talked about it this week the anthony we've won i saw that that's weird for you not to
00:40like we're not talking about 600 guys you really you have about 20 dudes defensively probably 15 to 20
00:48guys that you're gonna play on defense and you forget that willie gaze on the sideline with you
00:54that was the one the offensive stuff i can let go anthony weaver saying that he has to he said he
01:00apologized he's right there you played him all preseason and now you forget that he's on your
01:06roster that was crazy to me who was it last year remember jalen ramsey was it storm duck on the other
01:14side who was getting burned up and down and jalen ramsey kater kohu kater kohu who was the receiver
01:20that was eating them alive stefan diggs was one of them that we're gonna see this sunday
01:24we're about to see sunday they never moved them they never moved ramsey over to him like sometimes
01:31they just get stubborn spo does that with the heat sometimes you just get stubborn i don't i don't know
01:36why yeah that was two years ago don't bring eric spolstra into this what's going on there
01:42most stubborn he's the most stubborn coach of all the coaches in south florida he's the most stubborn
01:50coach yeah he also has two titles to his name and a couple nba finals appearances uh but no no joke
01:57that was two years ago remember the dolphins going to buffalo on the road and that was before we had
02:01jalen ramsey it was xavian howard who for whatever reason vic fangio wouldn't move xavian howard on
02:11you're right on digs and the dolphins are down like 30 points and after the game x is like yeah
02:15i want to cover the best wide receiver and vic fangio you know fell asleep in his post-game press
02:20conference and then gave you some run around about why he didn't do it but yeah i mean it seems pretty
02:26obvious at one point like put your best cornerback on their best receiver or different ones it doesn't
02:31even have to be best but if nothing's working put different people out there get anybody different
02:38out there and you say jaylen ramsey i don't know if i said earlier do y'all see jaylen ramsey can
02:42still play football did y'all watch that game well he made he made he made one i'm sorry he made two
02:49really good plays at the end crowder but he did not grade out fantastically and i saw a couple plays
02:54the hell with your pffs and pfts okay he was guarding garrett wilson all over the field running with
03:01him moving with him and garrett didn't go great garrett's amazing receiver he punked garrett wilson
03:06for four quarters i mean we're not going to do the thing of hey we wouldn't like to have jaylen ramsey
03:13in the secondary are we so what did he grade out after because i want to hear jack jones grade i'm
03:19just i'm just saying i'm crediting jaylen ramsey i said it yesterday on monday it burns even more to
03:24watch jaylen ramsey make a game-winning player prior to him lighting up garrett wilson he had another
03:30play right before that that he made an impact and he forced an incompletion but we're not going to
03:35sit here and say he punked garrett wilson who finished with seven receptions 95 yards and a
03:40touchdown like he didn't punk garrett wilson garrett wilson got the better of jaylen ramsey at times
03:45and jaylen ramsey came up with the game-winning play which is what you want guys to make game-winning
03:50plays i'm with you crowder but jaylen ramsey didn't punk anybody that game we want to win games or we
03:55don't want to win games that's a different conversation though that's a different conversation come
03:59on jaylen ramsey is his he would be the best player on our defense as we sit here today it
04:04might be minka and then jaylen oh yeah there's i don't think there's a debate on that who where i
04:11mean so zach seal who who would you go i mean come on he jaylen ramsey would be one or two on our
04:18defense best at his job that no doubt is that to me is more of an indictment on the on the state of the
04:25miami dolphins defense sure and a lack of talent on the miami dolphins defense than it is about
04:29jaylen ramsey crowder you would agree jaylen ramsey he's great in spurts at this point of his career
04:35he's in the back end of his career like last season he was not the most consistent player on
04:40the dolphins defense and it showed there were mistakes from jaylen ramsey a year ago
04:46and there was something else i want oh yeah because we now we got a jaylen ramsey
04:49i've told the story where we're playing the saints and i i'm supposed to cover the running back
04:58you know like there's just names linebacker on running back strong safety on tight end corner
05:04on receiver on x and z and reggie bush runs out the backfield and i look back at yeremiah bell
05:12and i'm like yb this is a mismatch there's no way i'm covering this is reggie bush new orleans like
05:20prime reggie i can't cover him i look back at yb yb just nods at me he runs over there i run and
05:27uh cover germy shockey germy shockey was good but he's not i'm it's a better chance for me to cover
05:34germy shocking and cover reggie bush why can't that happen like i don't know if the guys are
05:39communicating or if they're giving them that freedom but i remember us doing that all the
05:43time where zach would you know zach's not a big dude we have a big like bully educating bradley
05:50chubbs said they were all running around doing whatever they wanted to do but like we have a
05:55bully tight end and zach could be like no play mike i'll play will and i go over there and play mike
06:00because we know he's not running any routes but i can fight him better than zach can fight him and
06:05zach could run backside like this it's not i the it's intricacies of the nfl defenses but it's
06:12human beings talking to each other at some point somebody says hey man do eat your ass up man i'm
06:19gonna come over there and do something sam madison would do it all the time 10 on 10 hey well i think
06:24they were all saying that to each other all game long just no one had an answer well now he's eating my
06:30ass up hey you want to eat your ass up but crowder in the first half though and just i'm speaking
06:36strictly in the first half this game was 17 to nothing um at one point in the first half it ended
06:4220 to nothing right to a throws the interception indy takes over at their own 45 so they're at
06:48they're at half field already and then to a fumbles the ball indy takes over at miami's 45 so they've
06:55already passed half field and then offense did the defense no favors right and then this was a
07:00finally get a stop gets finally gets to stop and guess what you have matthew judon roughing the
07:06kicker penalty automatic first down that gives them 15 yards by the way after they finally got a stop
07:11and then they went and they scored another touchdown like i mean the defense got the defense is already
07:17in a position where they're playing from behind we know that lack of talent and lack of bodies then
07:22you lose storm duck you have to do everything you can not to kill them and the dolphins offense
07:27and special teams did the complete opposite put them in horrible positions i said it anthony weaver
07:33has to do the best the best job this week figuring out zones and how to confuse drake may because if drake
07:40may catches them in man the man it's going to get ugly with stefan diggs in them and can you please
07:46say midfield and not half field i don't know if it's a soccer term but yeah that half field throws me
07:51off yeah half field that's the no one calls it half field it's called midfield half field line
07:56hawk can i get a ruling on this you're a half field guy too right half field it's so midfield i don't
08:01know what you're doing i wish i wish i could i wish i could support you but then i've never heard
08:08half you had a great point that's why i didn't cut you off but i can't do half field i've heard of the
08:13hatfields and mccoys but only len has heard of them as well and that's just based on age sports talk on
08:20wqam it's sponsored by paramount plus you can't count on much but you can always count on sundays
08:25with the nfl on cbs and paramount plus stream your local nfl game live every sunday all season long
08:32starting at just 30 for your first year that's like 250 a month visit paramount plus dot com
08:38slash nfl to get started today so that brings me to my question we just torched the dolphins for 14
08:45minutes here to start the show they are one point favorites sunday over new england which side are you
08:53betting pets i gotta see it i have to see it i like to to see what i'm betting on and i didn't see
09:01anything in the colts game alana i'm i'm going to bet the dolphins i'm going to put it in so i i am not
09:10at the point yet i was on a podcast yesterday finn's faithful and they're like are you at the
09:15breaking point yet and i'm like no i'm not there yet they lose this game to drake bay and a patriots
09:20team that looked very underwhelming against the raiders and and it's bad then yeah i mean they're
09:26they might not win a game this season i'm not there yet feels like it has dolphins win written all over
09:33it doesn't it why i mean everything that we've said no there's no reason there's literally that's
09:39why i'm very interested to hear rob pizzola in the four o'clock hour today because he loves analytics
09:45he loves you know game situations and looking at the intricacies of what happened numbers wise
09:53and i'm curious if he just says yeah taking the dolphins at home against an underwhelming
09:58new england team uh dolphins team he talks a lot about recency bias it was so bad
10:07because what should they be like what what would you have made this line before the season started
10:14at home probably same thing right around there two three dolphins though right i probably had like
10:20dolphins three or four yeah and it's down to dolphins minus one and that's because of what you saw
10:26sunday understandably by the way but bizola is always like hey you fall into recency bias and you
10:34forget that what you just saw recently is not always indicative of what you're going to continue to see
10:40i'm just curious what he has to say because there's no person in their right mind who watched the
10:46dolphins game sunday and would give them any chance of beating any nfl team this season right i mean based
10:52on what you saw sunday you'd say they can't win an nfl game no they need to practice against the
10:58bethune cookman and see what happens which is why i just think this has dolphins victory written all over
11:05at sunday because sometimes when you can't figure out why something's gonna happen it just does vegas is
11:15so smart the over under is 43 they're 40 but hawk 43 over under i feel like it was 45 or 46 when the
11:25game opened i saw that this morning too but now i want to do it 43 i was gonna say bet the under because
11:33we're scoring eight they're scoring 17 we got action but 43 is a low low number how about this fantasy

11:59inc austin texas 40 alcohol by volume savor responsibly just based on what i was saying where
12:05sometimes you don't expect things to happen after what you've just watched was reading for you
12:10fantasy football players who have dolphins on your rosters a lot of people just like having some of
12:15the local guys on their rosters i was reading a story from fantasylife.com and the writer says we
12:23need to have a tough conversation about the miami dolphins this week they looked like an absolute
12:29dumpster fire in week one they got blown out generated 211 yards on offense and somehow ran only 46
12:36offensive plays outside of devon achan who they still have ranked as a top 10 running back to play
12:43that's the only one they write there's not a single fantasy manager who is excited to start any of the
12:51other dolphins in week two make matters worse they'll be without two key offensive linemen austin
12:58jackson and james daniel as well as darren waller who seems like he's closer to retirement than a football
13:04field here comes the butt though and again this is fantasylife.com but they are home versus the
13:14patriots this week who somehow might even be a bigger dumpster fire the odds makers agree because miami is
13:21currently a one and a half point favorite we they are implied to score 22 and a half points the same as
13:28the chiefs texans broncos and commanders this new england secondary just gave up 362 passing yards to
13:37geno smith in the rain and the patriots have historically struggled when traveling to miami
13:44early in the season so they write i know it seems unfathomable to play dolphins after throwing up on
13:50themselves in week one but the writer the author writes i'll be playing some miami stacks in dfs this
13:58week and plugging my nose and starting jalen waddle and tyreek hill in my leagues where i don't have
14:06better options so and again i know that's fantasy stuff but it just kind of falls in my line of
14:13thinking of where you go recency bias we watched the dolphins and we probably just watched some
14:18highlights of the new england game now imagining if people watch the new england game they may be
14:22going wow this team is terrible oh and something else you brought up the aberration or trend you
14:29know like was that game just a bad off like that's unprepared whatever it was why were you unprepared
14:35week one all the things we've talked to people about and and and ask guys about and that's where
14:42i'm stuck in the middle is this team terrible because you don't lose by 25 to the colts are you
14:47terrible or were you unprepared i think that's what you have to decide going into week two i have uh
14:53i'm in multiple leagues i drafted tyree kill and jalen waddle in almost every league because i thought
14:59people were sleeping on these guys and i said yeah hold on a second like they're gonna be fine
15:03offensively they're gonna put up points and hawk for this week first of all jalen waddles on the
15:08injury report and i like it's not looking great for him to play hopefully he does i'm not starting
15:14waddle in any league i'm just not like i i don't i'm not buying that tool wasn't even looking his way
15:20and i'll start tyree kill until the wheels totally come off because it's tyree kill but it's hard to
15:26to look at those numbers where he hasn't caught a 30 or more yard play in over a year and still
15:32consider him from a fantasy perspective a big-time player to start weekly but in other words all the
15:38stuff that's all the stuff that's being talked about this week frank smith knows that tua knows
15:45it mike mcdaniel knows it tyreek knows it tyreek knows it's his one year anniversary of not catching
15:53a 30 plus yard pass so i kind of think hey they if you think new england is bad and again they point
16:01out that fantasy life article they gave up 300 plus yards or 200 plus yards to geno smith passing in the
16:08rain if you think okay tua and tyreek and jalen can still do that i'm not certain jalen's not looking
16:15good for i mean he was just on the injury report yesterday so to say he's not looking good for
16:19sunday i'm not certain because he came back in the game just fine last sunday um i i would say he's more
16:26to me looking better to play than not play at all just my opinion it's not based on anything um
16:35if the if the yards aren't going to tua and you imagine there have to be some yards passing
16:41they gotta end up with jalen it ain't gonna be darren waller it ain't gonna be alec ingle
16:48oh maybe ds cringe i i don't know but yeah again i'm not telling you if you've got jalen waddle and
16:56tyreek hill in your fantasy league slam dunk win for you but i could see they're gonna have a big game
17:02at some point this season maybe it'll be against the new england defense but but your your logic is
17:07your logic is hey they know everything that went wrong and they know what the narratives are against
17:12them and they have to lock in but like i get what you're saying and you're right but that should have
17:18been the logic going into week one everybody was doubting why are you betting them you said you're
17:23betting the dolphins what's your logic that i mean that is the logic my logic is that at some
17:29point they're gonna have to figure it out and i'm with you i'm with you there you go that's what i'm
17:34saying that's all yeah that's exactly what i'm saying i'm glad you brought that up like you're
17:38saying was that an aberration or is that what we expect for the season i don't think i don't think
17:42they're gonna score eight points all season but mike cuno said something that made me think
17:48did mike mcdaniel get figured out and then i go back to what og says there's no plan b and then we
17:55get into week one and he scores eight points and takes 55 game minutes to score in with a halfback
18:04swing pass on fourth and 11 do they do have they figured it out and then xabian howard put the put
18:12the the bow on the present we pack the box two is not throwing outside you beat him and he throws
18:19two interceptions over the middle can mike mcdaniel change his entire passing game they only tried to
18:26run the ball what 10 times 11 times on sunday can he they only had 46 plays can he run can he can he
18:34adjust to that run or can he throw outside routes because xabian howard told you their game plan
18:41and then he only ran the ball 11 times i think two of my i think it's like 12 rushes but there were
18:47scrambles can he change in the week because he had four or five months in the off season to change
18:53and obviously he didn't and xabian howard went to indianapolis on a tuesday told them exactly what
19:00to it can do and whooped him on sunday they got 200 yards of offense that's embarrassing
