Transcript

00:00Do you know what transpired in the world of South Florida sports

00:06two years ago today?

00:10Two years ago today.

00:1670-point Dolphin game.

00:1970-point Dolphin game.

00:20You nailed it.

00:23Probably the most fun we've had as Dolphins fans,

00:27certainly in the last two years, yes.

00:30And in the entire Mike McDaniel era, is that the biggest highlight?

00:37Yes.

00:38Yeah, as a football fan, yes.

00:41I would say the Stanley Cup is the only thing that could beat it.

00:45Ooh.

00:47No, because in 2023, the Panthers and the Heat,

00:51I'm talking specifically Dolphins, specifically Dolphins.

00:53I would say the game in Baltimore the year prior, week two,

00:58where the Dolphins were down multiple touchdowns,

01:01Tua led that drive to come back, was more fun.

01:04But the 70-point game was one of those, like, holy bleep,

01:10we're one of the best teams in football moments.

01:13So maybe, Hawk.

01:15It's definitely, if it's not one, it's two.

01:17If it's not two, it's one.

01:18Solana, when your kids are talking to Uncle Chan,

01:21we're not talking about a 14-point comeback.

01:25We're talking about a 70-point game.

01:27Yeah.

01:27And we should be talking about a 73-point game, to be quite honest.

01:30For sure.

01:31Yeah, we might have.

01:32We should have.

01:33Yeah.

01:33We should have gleaned something from that decision.

01:36If I had said to you, after that game, two years later,

01:42the Dolphins will still have not won a playoff game,

01:44and the offense won't be very much fun to watch,

01:49would you have believed me?

01:51Not at all.

01:52Yeah.

01:53I mean, we thought that we were on the cusp of the Rams with Kurt Warner.

02:00Like, I mean, we thought that this was the beginning of the most creative,

02:08exciting offense that the Dolphins had ever seen,

02:12and the NFL wasn't going to know.

02:16I'm curious.

02:17I would love to go back and look, like,

02:19what their point total was the week after that,

02:23like, on the betting lines, because they had just put up 70.

02:26I wonder what their team total was on the betting lines, you know,

02:30the week after that, what people were expecting.

02:33The greatest show on turf is what you're talking about,

02:37with Falk and them boys and Torrey Holt and all.

02:39It was going to be track meet.

02:41Remember, that was the name.

02:43We're a track meet.

02:44Everybody on our offense runs four twos.

02:47It was the greatest show on surf.

02:49Yeah.

02:50Like, we had that.

02:50That was the – I remember being like, oh, Lord,

02:53we're about to have some special things going on down here.

02:57Until it's not special anymore.

03:00You guys remember what the game was after that?

03:04I don't.

03:04I feel like they put up another 38 or 40 points the week after.

03:08Do you remember, Crowder?

03:10No.

03:11We lost to the Bills 48 to 20 in Buffalo.

03:16That's the game that I think Xavier Howard was lined up,

03:21but Vic Fangio refused to put him, I think, on Stefan Diggs.

03:25I'm probably not remembering exactly who.

03:28It's exactly right.

03:29Cater Kohu got four touchdowns scored on him because they wouldn't move Jalen Ramsey over.

03:35That was the next week?

03:36Xavier Howard.

03:37Stefan Diggs, 120 yards, six receptions, three touchdowns.

03:41That was before Ramsey was here, I think.

03:43Yeah.

03:43That was the following week.

03:46We were still on a high, though.

03:49It didn't matter.

03:51We always have that Denver game, fellas.

03:53Because then, you know, in the last two games, they had put up 90 points.

03:57I mean, what more could you ask for from an NFL team?

04:00Like, I'm still factoring it in.

04:03I'm like, well, you know, they did have 70 on September 24, 2023.

04:11We're going to talk about that when DJ, your son, has a kid.

04:15We're going to tell them about that 70-point game.

04:18If they only would have kicked that field goal, it would have had the NFL record.

04:22We could have talked about that.

04:23We'd talk about the perfect season.

04:25We would have had our own thing for the next 30 years.

04:31Now we've got to tell the end of the story of Mike McDaniel at the end,

04:34deciding he didn't want to go.

04:36He had had enough at 70.

04:38Yeah, we have enough.

04:46We're trying to get to 17 now.

04:49Hell.

04:49If I tell you that, I mean, same team, same team.

05:01Two years later, opening game against Indianapolis.

05:06Couldn't get points on the board until Devon Achan decided,

05:12you can throw an airplane on my back.

05:14I am not going to stop moving my legs.

05:19Right?

05:19Same team?

05:20Am I missing anything there?

05:22Same weapons.

05:23Same weapons, yeah.

05:25Trying to fix the line, but same weapons, same quarterback, same, yeah.

05:30Waddle was here.

05:31Tyreek was here.

05:32It was the.

05:33Same core.

05:34Same core.

05:35At the very least, on the offensive side of the football.

05:38We had to stop from scoring 73, and now we're squeaking out eight.

05:43Now will we score 73 this season combined?

05:47Are you looking at the box score from that game by any chance?

05:53I'm curious what Tua's numbers were.

05:55I have it up, yeah.

05:56The Denver game?

05:58Yeah.

05:59The funny part is, it was all running, the football.

06:03Like, it was the Devon Achan.

06:05He had to have over 300 yards, no?

06:07I don't think so.

06:08I'll tell you right now.

06:09Tua Tungavailoa, yes.

06:1123 of 26.

06:13Wow.

06:1323 of 26.

06:16309 yards, four touchdowns.

06:19Oh, goodness gracious.

06:21I mean, we knew we had the best quarterback in the league.

06:26Those are mad numbers.

06:2823 of 26?

06:30That's mad numbers on rookie, Hawk.

06:32That's rookie mad numbers when you don't try to play anybody hard.

06:36That's crazy.

06:37Bro, Devon Achan, I had forgotten about this.

06:4118 carries, 203 yards, two touchdowns.

06:46And I believe he had a receiving touchdown, too.

06:48Two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown because Tua had that little,

06:52that, like, flip to him.

06:54It was a no-look flip in the red zone.

06:56It was one of the first touchdowns.

06:57Who else had touchdowns?

06:58I know Tyreek had a touchdown because I think he scored the first touchdown.

07:00Did he have more than one?

07:02Raheem Mostert had three touchdowns in that game.

07:05Tyreek Hill had one.

07:06And Robbie Chosen had one because Robbie Chosen had the Mike White touchdown

07:11late in the game where Mike White just threw on third down.

07:13He threw a bomb.

07:15And Devon Achan had two receiving – Devon Achan had four touchdowns in that game.

07:21Two receiving, three touchdowns.

07:22So I believe, now that I'm thinking about it, in that game, we were calling him A-Chain.

07:27Yes.

07:28I believe it was after that game when everyone was calling him Devon A-Chain

07:32that all of a sudden he was like, no, it's A-Chan.

07:36And all of a sudden we had to start going A-Chan.

07:39He messed that up, didn't he?

07:40Because we were all on board, the branding, A-Train.

07:46Jump on the A-Train.

07:47And then he ruined it.

07:49And he's like, no, no, no, I'm A-Chan.

07:50And I was like, huh.

07:52All right.

07:53A-Chan would have been better.

07:55A-Chan.

07:56Everybody wants to be attached to A-Chan, though.

08:36No, no, Jack.

08:37We can help them out on Game Day Uncensored.

08:40I'm trying to tell you for years, don't work if you don't have to work, man.

08:43Well, you seem disappointed.

08:44You seem disappointed.

08:47What?

08:48I just thought of something.

08:49You were talking about that game.

08:51What happened to those creative plays?

08:54What happened to those underhand, no-look passes that we used to run on our offense?

08:59What happened to the reverses?

09:00Don't you tell me?

09:01Did the defenses just figure it out?

09:03No.

09:03We don't even call them anymore.

09:06Those no-look Tua running right and flipping it behind his back to A-Chan, flipping it from Tyreek, streaking across and all that stuff.

09:14The stuff Sean McVay still does.

09:17The stuff, we just talked about it with Detroit.

09:19The worst flea flicker in the history of football.

09:21Did you say Tua was running in one of those plays where he's running to one of the sides?

09:26He took all running.

09:26I mean, you answered your own question there.

09:29What happened to the creativity of McDaniel?

09:33Because that's when you start talking about it.

09:35I'm like, you know what?

09:36We don't do any of that cute.

09:38Jared Goff can't run either, but they do cute stuff with Jared Goff.

09:42Why can't we do cute stuff with Tua?

09:45Let's make predictions for game day uncensored.

10:16Prouder has one catch, 11 yards for Darren Waller.

10:44Put that down for me.

10:45Two for 29, two touchdowns.
