00:00I was just looking at David Fironis' column about the Dolphins
00:04and the Sun-Sentinel, and you're going to love this, man,
00:07because Anthony Weaver had his press conference today.
00:10Mm-hmm.
00:11And the headline in the Sun-Sentinel is,
00:14Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver sends impassioned message
00:17of playing with violence.
00:20Hey, hey, there we go.
00:21Which I know you love.
00:22I'm just going to read you the first couple graphs here.
00:25After three games in which the Dolphins have allowed more than 30 points,
00:28defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver sent a clear impassioned message
00:32at his Friday news conference.
00:34The defense is going to change its attitude,
00:37and the key word in the change, violence.
00:41Quote, all our problems, all of our problems that we need to solve
00:46can be solved through violence, Weaver said Friday.
00:51Yeah, they want to legislate it out of the game,
00:54but we play defensive football,
00:56and in defensive football at some point you draw a line in the sand
01:00and you say, I'm going to set the edge.
01:03I'm going to stick my helmet under that guy's chin.
01:07I'm going to set the edge.
01:09I'm going to violently take the ball away,
01:11and that's what we need to do.
01:14Hmm?
01:15And that's what good defenses do.
01:17That's what good ball clubs do.
01:19That's how the Ravens play.
01:20You know the Lions.
01:21You don't think Dan Campbell is teaching violence up there?
01:24He loves violence.
01:26He beats up his door.
01:29He pulls it the wrong way and breaks the doorknob off
01:32to leave the house in the morning.
01:33I know, and I respect the concussions and injuries of players
01:38and IRs and all that.
01:40If you're not playing defense with violence,
01:42you're not a good defense.
01:44I knew you were going to like that,
01:46so we'll see if there's a difference Monday night
01:49in the intensity level.
01:51Huck, when you, the receivers,
01:53when you come across the middle,
01:55you catch it, you get a reception,
01:58get your rib almost broken,
02:01that next time you're coming across there,
02:02you're not looking for the ball.
02:04Alligator arms.
02:05Yeah, little alligator arms.
02:07Man, I love it.
02:08Anthony Weaver, I'm back on your side with this message.
02:11All right, let's do headlines,
02:13so we have enough time with Omar.
02:14Headlines brought to you by Doral VW.
02:16Doral VW just broke the rules of gravity.
02:19Prices are falling so fast, we're checking for a crater.
02:22What?
02:23Prices are falling so fast,
02:25it's like a receiver going against the middle
02:27and Dolphins linebackers.
02:30They got that one.
02:32Volkswagens priced like they lost their minds.
02:34Doral VW, buckle up.
02:36No one sells for less.
02:37No one.
02:37Yesterday, we played Tua Tungabailoa's comments
02:41regarding criticism from people in the media.
02:45Cam Newton was mentioned by Joe Shad,
02:48who asked the question.
02:49We played Tua's response.
02:51Tua has gotten a lot of heat
02:52since he said those comments,
02:55specifically because it appeared like he questioned Cam Newton
02:58and talked about guys with a clicker.
03:01Obviously, I know Cam Newton played in the NFL.
03:03Today, Cam Newton was on first take,
03:05along with Ryan Clark and Stephen A. Smith.
03:09Stephen A. Smith,
03:10I don't know if you guys watched the clip or not.
03:11I know it's on social media now,
03:12but I watched it live.
03:14Stephen A. Smith blasted Tua Tungabailoa
03:17and he stood up for Cam Newton
03:19and he said,
03:20why is he talking to you
03:22like if you didn't take the Panthers to 15-1 record,
03:25a Super Bowl berth,
03:26like you weren't an NFL league MVP,
03:29which he points out Tua has never been.
03:32Why is he talking about you like you're me?
03:34Those are Stephen A. Smith's words.
03:37Ryan Clark questioned whether,
03:41you know,
03:41why the media,
03:42the sports media in Miami,
03:44the local media,
03:45is asking Tua the right questions or not.
03:47Why are they asking him about Cam's comments
03:49and why aren't they asking him about
03:51why he's struggling against zone defenses,
03:53which I think is a little unfair
03:54because he was asked
03:56more than just that one question.
03:59Cam Newton's response,
04:00I thought,
04:01was very measured
04:01and he started it off with saying,
04:03I'm having a hard time believing
04:04he was referring to me
04:06in reference of the clicker.
04:07He took it as a more general
04:09response from Tua
04:11regarding critics in the media,
04:13which again,
04:14Omar pointed this out today.
04:16If you listen to the full question
04:18from Joe Shad,
04:19Cam's name was kind of thrown in there
04:20like at the very end,
04:21just as an example.
04:23Totally agree.
04:23And I just think right now
04:25we've talked about it.
04:26Tua,
04:27McDaniel,
04:28anybody on an 0-3 team
04:30with high expectations,
04:31whatever they say,
04:32people are just going to,
04:33they're going to pull coals in it
04:34because they're just sick
04:35of them losing.
04:36And I think that was a case
04:38of some of that backlash yesterday
04:40with Tua.
04:40This is one of those examples,
04:41by the way,
04:42of when you're 0-3,
04:43there is no proper answer
04:45you can give
04:45where everyone's going to go,
04:47oh,
04:47he nailed it.
04:48The only thing you can say
04:49is like what Anthony Weaver just said,
04:51which is we got to get violent.
04:52Like, okay,
04:53I'm with that.
04:54But then you go,
04:55well,
04:55why didn't you preach that game one?
04:57Where was that?
04:58How come you waited until game four
04:59to start saying to play tough defense?
05:01You can do that too.
05:03But with Tua,
05:04I said it yesterday
05:05when it happened.
05:06I do understand him
05:08being fed up with criticism
05:09from guys like me.
05:11I don't know how to play quarterback.
05:12Like,
05:13he's right.
05:14Like,
05:14yeah,
05:14go out there and do it.
05:16Doesn't mean that I can't acknowledge
05:18he doesn't look like the quarterback
05:20I was supporting two years ago.
05:21Like that,
05:22there's no,
05:23there's no falsehood in that.
05:25But when it came to Cam Newton,
05:27yeah,
05:28to,
05:28if he was referring to Cam
05:30as the guy with the clicker,
05:32that's a little off-putting
05:34because Cam's done it
05:35and done it better.
05:37So,
05:37but I don't think
05:38he was really answering that.
05:40And I think Tua,
05:41but Tua,
05:43I'm not,
05:43you know,
05:43I usually take the player side
05:44on these things,
05:45but Tua's getting angry.
05:47And like,
05:47to your point,
05:48I don't care
05:49who's evaluating the film.
05:50You're watching him
05:51not play to the level
05:52you're used to him playing.
05:53This whole way,
05:54you know,
05:55Belichick didn't play football.
05:57Nick Saban didn't play football.
05:58Like,
05:59you can watch
06:00and evaluate football
06:01when you've watched it
06:02and you've studied it.
06:03And he's not playing well
06:04and he's getting angry.
06:06And Tua used to never get angry.
06:07Even when Brian Flores
06:08was messing him over
06:09and benching him
06:10and treating him
06:11like a little China doll,
06:12he would just,
06:13you know,
06:13he would kind of
06:14play into it
06:16or do the player speak.
06:17He's getting mad
06:18because of the 0-3 start
06:20and him not looking up
06:22to the point.
06:23So,
06:23I don't care
06:24who's evaluating him.
06:26I get little Chan
06:27is 13,
06:2814 can watch him
06:29and say,
06:30man,
06:31he's not making many plays.
06:32They're not throwing
06:33the ball deep at all.
06:34I can,
06:35you can see that.
06:36Anybody can see
06:36they're not throwing
06:37the ball over 20 yards.
06:39Why is the NFL team
06:40not taking any deep shots?
06:41You don't need to be
06:42Vince Lombardi
06:43to figure that out.
06:45But to be fair,
06:46Crowder,
06:46I'm with you,
06:47by the way.
06:48But to be fair,
06:49and I'm guilty of this,
06:50yesterday,
06:51the only clip I heard
06:52from Tua
06:53was the clip
06:54that we played,
06:54which is the 30-second clip
06:56of him saying,
06:57oh, well,
06:57you know,
06:57anybody with a clicker
06:58thinks they can play.
07:00Tua yesterday
07:01outright said,
07:02if you watch
07:03the full press conference,
07:04which I since have,
07:05I've got to be better.
07:07I'm not playing
07:08to the standard
07:08that I hold myself to.
07:11So he,
07:11I just think
07:12a lot of people
07:13saw that comment,
07:15heard that comment,
07:16and were like,
07:16oh,
07:16Tua's,
07:17you know,
07:18Tua's,
07:18you know,
07:19being petty.
07:20Tua's calling people up
07:21now because he's 0-3.
07:23And to be fair,
07:23like,
07:24we took a 30-second clip
07:25and made our own
07:26determining factors
07:28about what Tua's feeling
07:29when in reality,
07:30he is saying
07:30those things you're saying.
07:31Like,
07:32I'm not playing well.
07:33Yeah,
07:34yeah.
07:34But to say
07:34anybody can have a clicker,
07:36not everybody can play
07:37NFL quarterback.
07:38Not everybody can play
07:40professional sports,
07:40period.
07:41Not everybody can hit a baseball
07:42coming 100 miles per hour.
07:43Not everybody can stop a puck
07:45coming in a slap shot.
07:46Like,
07:47it's,
07:47it's,
07:47like I said,
07:48he's getting frustrated
07:50and it's showing
07:51in his press conferences.
07:52I'm with you
07:52where you take stuff,
07:54you know,
07:54you want clickbait.
07:55So they got clickbait.
07:56Right.
07:56But his frustration
07:57is getting up
07:58and I don't,
07:59I'm worried about
08:01where it's going to go
08:01because he's getting frustrated
08:03and this is a new Tua.
08:04Somebody was like,
08:05the new Tua,
08:06they love the new Tua.
08:07I don't like the new Tua.
08:08You just,
08:09take it easy,
08:09buddy.
