Transcript

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

00:04Of course, he played receiver for the Dolphins.

00:07Arande II, his son, had a nice game for the Chargers.

00:10Last Sunday, he was a starter, too.

00:12Went from inactive to being a starter.

00:16And he'll be back at it this Sunday.

00:18Arande's with us.

00:19Hello, OG.

00:21Yo, what's happening?

00:23So, what do you make of the Dolphins last night?

00:25I asked this earlier.

00:27Do you watch the game?

00:28Do you watch the win?

00:29And you say, you know what?

00:30They're starting to put it together.

00:31They've looked better week after week after week.

00:34They've looked a little bit better each week.

00:36And so, maybe they're turning a corner.

00:38Or do you say, eh, you know what?

00:40They were beneficiaries of playing a really bad, undisciplined Jets team.

00:48A little bit of both, I think.

00:50You know, obviously, you put the Jets as an 0-3 team as well out front.

00:55But I do think in some areas, they are looking a little better than they did the last two weeks, anyway.

01:08And so, you hope that progression continues.

01:12You know, going to Carolina doesn't hurt.

01:14And so, if you can string two of them together, that would be pretty cool.

01:19But, you know, the Tyreek thing is big.

01:22Obviously, it has to lend to a different type of, I guess, a different type of theory going into the game.

01:33And, OG, shouldn't they lean somebody over there by Garrett Wilson or have somebody who's just one-and-a-half people or something like that?

01:41Because it seems silly to me to leave him one-on-one with those corners.

01:46You know, like, on a touchdown, it definitely wasn't bad, you know, bad coverage.

01:52Just good ball beat good coverage every time.

01:54Not every time, but, you know, eight times out of ten.

01:57If you throw a good ball, it'll be good coverage.

02:00Good catch.

02:00You know, the DB was right there.

02:02I mean, you know, I don't think – they hadn't done that, you know what I mean, the last few times they played him.

02:10They pretty much played a man, you know, pretty much a lot and, you know, figured it out.

02:17Like, I think last year, Ramsey played a man.

02:19I know it was a different corner.

02:21But they hadn't really doubled Garrett Wilson as much.

02:25I mean, they should have doubled the line to stop the run.

02:30You know.

02:31Yeah.

02:32Garrett Wilson, you know, he's a good player.

02:37He makes plays.

02:38It's just – you know, he didn't do anything until late, really.

02:41I mean, the first half, he was – you know, he didn't cause a dent in the defense.

02:46It's just that second half, he got a little loose.

02:48But he got loose because now you're trying to stop the 80 yards that, you know, Hall and Fields get.

02:55And, you know what I'm saying, so you got to try to stop that.

02:58So, I mean, you know, it's – you know how it is.

03:00It's a double-edged sword.

03:01But, you know, offensively, I think we're finding some things out.

03:06But now, you know, Tyreek is down.

03:08And, you know, this still lends to my only a plan A situation.

03:14Now that Tyreek Hill is out, you can't just say, now we're going to put Malik Washington in that spot.

03:21Like, you know what I'm saying?

03:22You know, now you're trying to do the same things.

03:26It's just not going to work out the same.

03:28You know what I mean?

03:28Just like the speed's not the same.

03:31You know, he's coming out of his break, not the same.

03:34And, you know, when Tua looks to throw to him, you know, he's been throwing to Tyreek for three, four years.

03:40Now you're going to look to throw to Malik and you're going to throw the ball and he a step too slow.

03:44He didn't read it as you did.

03:46But, you know, it's just, you know, unfortunately a recipe for disaster.

03:54What do you think of the overall game plan, though, offensively, OG?

03:57I think Tyreek goes down.

03:59Devon Achan is by far your best player and he played well yesterday.

04:03But even the broadcast was highlighting they had Tua on the move a lot more yesterday.

04:09And the play design, it seemed more conducive to putting Tua in the right spots to make plays.

04:17And I know his numbers weren't impressive yesterday.

04:20But what do you think of just the overall game plan of having Tua kind of on those bootlegs a little bit more,

04:26kind of rolling out a little bit more, trying to get him in better positions to make plays?

04:32I don't like it.

04:33I don't like it.

04:34I don't like it one bit.

04:35But, no, I just think, you know, obviously, you know, when you roll him out,

04:40Len's more, you know, chances for him to get, you know, hit without anybody blocking.

04:45You know, if he was a, you know, runner, like you roll out Justin Fields

04:49and he got the option to throw it out, he can run for 20 yards.

04:52You know what I mean?

04:53But you rolling Tua out, you know, I don't know.

04:56If the defensive end doesn't bite on the run, he's out there one-on-one with Tua.

05:01And if Tua does one of the fakes and holds the ball, you know, just, I mean,

05:06every once in a while you have to do it.

05:07Obviously, you know, Darren Waller came and was the Darren Waller from, you know,

05:13three years ago.

05:14And, you know, how long that lasts, we hope, a long time.

05:17But I just, you know, I just worry about the load being put on A-10 now that, you know,

05:24because we already throw, you know, seven bubbles, seven flat passes to him already.

05:30Now you, you know, now you're going to throw 11, you know what I mean?

05:35Just a lot, you know, because you key on that.

05:38Some wide receiver doesn't get the block and he gets banged out.

05:42Now, you know, he got to take a break for like two games.

05:45Then we, you know, just tough, just tough.

05:48I just, you know, hope we can at least, you know, Jimmy rig it to where we can do a little bit for everybody.

05:57You know, you know, in your mind, you just be like, all right, now that Tyreek Zawaddle gets a lion's share of the ball.

06:03But, I mean, he just hadn't, you know what I mean?

06:06So, you know, rolling him out was good for the Jets.

06:13You know, if you got somebody with better defensive ends or who's going to blitz more,

06:17you know, I'm not sure that's the best thing to do.

06:19I don't know if you know, but Tua probably is not the fastest quarterback in the league.

06:25And OG, you brought it.

06:27He did win the bet again for me last night.

06:30Yes, sir, he did.

06:31Rushing over, let's go.

06:33Rushing over.

06:36I'm betting that until 18 games straight.

06:40I am riding that as long as they let me.

06:43They put 0.5 up them.

06:46I'm telling you, like, what's the bet that would prevent you from making it?

06:51Because, obviously, the sportsbooks are going to catch up to 0.5 or 1.5.

06:56If you do 1.5, I'm taking 1.5.

06:59As long as you do anything over 5, then I'm not doing over 5.

07:04If he's rushing over, if Tua's rushing over in Carolina Sunday is 3.5 yards,

07:11you're still going to ride the over?

07:12I'm taking it.

07:13Yeah, I'm still taking it.

07:14I'm still taking the over.

07:16There's got to be, like, 7.

07:18Then I'll be like, no, I ain't taking 7.

07:20But anything under that, I'm taking it.

07:23Because, I mean, he has to run.

07:24He has to.

07:25Just, you know, no other way around it.

07:28But, OG, you brought up, you talked about Tyreek's injury,

07:30and you bring up Malik Washington being that guy.

07:32Why can't Waller be that guy?

07:33Would a big tight end like that not fit in this system?

07:38Yeah, I don't think, you know, not for those amount of yards.

07:43You know what I mean?

07:44He fits in for exactly what he did.

07:46You know, that would be John O. Smith's reduction right there, you know?

07:51You know, John O. Smith probably was a little bit more agile as far as,

07:55you know, getting the shovel pass and maybe running a jet sweep

07:59for, like, three yards, as he's doing now.

08:02But, I think, you know, Waller did what he was supposed to do.

08:05You add – now, you add Tyreek's, you know, 80, 90 yards receiving,

08:11and you add Waller's 65 yards, and either one of them have a touchdown,

08:16you know, you're good.

08:17But now you're trying to make Waller get to 80 yards every game.

08:22Yeah, that's, you know – because him being down at a tight end

08:27is easier to double.

08:28You know what I mean?

08:29You double him, right?

08:30And now you're back to throwing to Malik Washington.

08:33You know what I mean?

08:34Like – and they run around in the same areas.

08:37Malik Washington's not going to be outside.

08:39He's going to be a slot guy.

08:40He's going to do your motions, you know, and do your little orbit motions,

08:45maybe get the ball in the flat, you know.

08:48So, you can't really depend on, you know, Waller doing much more than he did.

08:54But, you know, you're going to try to expand it, obviously, but two touchdowns?

08:58Like, that's – I mean, how much more you want him to give you?

09:02You know, that was a good game.

09:06I'm just – I'm looking it up right now.

09:07Just speaking of the two rushing overs, did you ever have a rushing yard in your NFL career?

09:13Did they ever run a reverse?

09:14I don't think so.

09:15I don't think so.

09:16I think so.

09:17I got one bubble maybe and lost like three yards.

09:21Because Chan, Chan, Chan, Chan called it at a dumb time.

09:25You know what I mean?

09:26Come on, Chan.

09:27Call him.

09:28Wait, rushing yards.

09:29Here we go.

09:30You have a total for your career.

09:35You have zero rushing yards.

09:37Yeah.

09:38But that – I mean, that's not surprising, though, right?

09:40If I gave you the over-under, Arande, total rushing yards for his career,

09:44you're over-under at a half, you'd have bet the under, yeah?

09:47Under for sure.

09:48I don't know why they threw him a bubble screen.

09:53That's what I'm saying.

09:53I don't know why they did that either.

09:55Like, you know what I mean?

09:56Like, what I'm going to do?

09:58Take three people and take it 65?

10:00Probably not.

10:02I'm going to pitch it.

10:03I'm going to pitch it to somebody.

10:04Come on, Lamar.

10:05I'm going to pitch it to you about 40 yards down the field.

10:07Come on, man.

10:08Was that – that was a – that was a written-up play that they ran for you?

10:16Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:18Like, you know what I'm saying?

10:19Like, you know, take two steps forward to come back.

10:20When they called that, did you ask – when they called that, did you say it again?

10:25You know, I was pretty excited about it.

10:28It was like on the 11-yard line.

10:30You know, in your mind, you're like, it's going to work perfect.

10:33Like, the left tackle, you know, is going to run out here and block the defensive back

10:39and the wide receiver is going to go crack down on the safety.

10:44I'm going to catch it and, you know, elevate the door is going to open

10:47and I'm going to run through for the touchdown.

10:49It just didn't work that way.

10:54You just remember how it worked?

10:57I'm guessing you turned around and there was somebody right in your face.

11:01Yeah, man.

11:02You know, you take the two steps forward and then you come back.

11:05They call it a J-move and you're supposed to get the ball

11:07and all that's supposed to happen, left hand, kick out the DB that's following me.

11:12OJ cracks down on the safety and I just run through the middle.

11:16My God.

11:18It didn't happen.

11:19It didn't happen.

11:19It didn't happen that way.

11:20It happened as I lost three yards.

11:23The DB, when I took the two steps out, was trailing me so tight,

11:28I had tackled for loss.

11:32Like, he didn't respect my going deep.

11:35You know what I'm saying?

11:36Like, if Tyreek takes two steps up, then the DB backs up like five yards.

11:41Like, I took the two steps up.

11:42He came forward.

11:44Like, oh.

11:44OJ, when they installed that on Wednesday, you thought you was going to get a touchdown?

11:51Oh, man.

11:52I thought I was going to get a touchdown.

11:53Easy, easy, easy.

11:55I was already doing the OG in my mind in the end zone.

11:58Without a doubt.

11:59Because it worked like a charm in practice.

12:01I'm going to tell some shirts on this one.

12:03Right.

12:04Hey, man, listen.

12:05It worked like a charm in practice.

12:06The DB seven yards off.

12:08You know what I mean?

12:09I'm going to take the step.

12:10He's going to back up.

12:11By the time he comes, you know what I'm saying?

12:14Mark is already out there.

12:15He kicks him out of bounds.

12:17OJ cracked down on the safety and the gap.

12:20Boom, I'm going to catch the ball.

12:21And I may have one man to beat, but we on 11.

12:24You know what I'm saying?

12:25That free safety come up.

12:27I'm fixing to take off.

12:28I'm going to take off from the five.

12:30I'm already diving for the pylon.

12:32I can do it.

12:37You know, the reason why, you know, like, it sounded like a good play then,

12:42but everybody, you know, once we get in the red zone,

12:45everybody was pressing for the fade.

12:48You know, everybody would press me.

12:49And it'd be cool because then I'd run the fade.

12:52But press on a bubble screen, it's like no bueno.

12:56Like, that's not smart.

12:58I just imagine you running the route and looking and seeing the guy coming forward

13:03and thinking to yourself, no, run backward.

13:06Run backward.

13:07Did you see me going forward?

13:09Yeah.

13:10Listen, I take the two steps up and he's coming.

13:13I'm like, shoo, shoo, shoo.

13:15Like, go.

13:16Go back.

13:17Go back.

13:18No, not now.

13:20Not now.

13:21Shoo, shoo.

13:21Like, he'll fly or something.

13:23Like, go.

13:23You're going to ruin this whole thing.

13:25Shoo.

13:25Yeah, you're going to ruin it by one play.

13:33You're going to ruin it by one play.

13:35One chance.

13:36I was going to say, did you even bother watching it back on the tablet on the bench

13:39to see what went wrong?

13:41But I don't think they had tablets back then.

13:43Tablet?

13:43Oh, no.

13:45Tablet?

13:45Are you kidding me?

13:48Tablets.

13:48You mean the IBM one, the blue ones with the pen, they smash all the time?

13:53Yeah, we had those.

13:54Yeah.

13:56That's funny.

13:57I think we got back Monday.

14:03They were like, that play is in the trash.

14:06We're not running that play anymore.

14:08I'm like, duh, you think?

14:10Just throw me the fade, bro.

14:12Like, you know, I did.

14:14Have you looked at how big I am and how good my hands are?

14:17Throw me the fade.

14:18Yeah, I caught the ball, which made it a three-yard loss.

14:22I should have missed the ball.

14:23Like, who are you throwing that to?

14:24You're not throwing that to me.

14:26Take a three-yard loss on my stats.

14:28Oh, my God.

14:29That is funny, man.

14:30Someone chats in, OG's got to be in the Mount Rushmore of storytellers.

14:34That is a great story, man.

14:37I can just feel it running through your head.

14:41Yeah, I remember.

14:42You know, because it has to.

14:44Like, you know, what happens if I got to do this?

14:48I got to do that.

14:48But I got to get tackled right away.

14:50Like, I didn't even know what if.

14:53Three-yard loss.

14:55Kick the field goal.

14:56You had more thoughts about how you're going to celebrate it than actually thinking someone's

15:02going to be right up in your grill.

15:04That was the last thing in my mind.

15:07Like, I'm looking at the free safety.

15:09He on the goal line, right?

15:11And so, I'm like, when I get the ball, I'll probably be at, like, the nine.

15:15And so, it's going to be me and him to the pylon.

15:18And I'm going to beat him to the pylon.

15:19That ain't even a question.

15:21Because I'm taking off from the side.

15:22I got to only hit the pylon with the ball.

15:24I got it.

15:25I totally got it.

15:27And I'm like, I'm going to catch it.

15:29Boom.

15:30Just like I practiced.

15:31Two steps.

15:31Two hard steps forward.

15:33Come back around.

15:34Mark, who's coming out from the tackle spot.

15:37He's going to kick the DB.

15:38I'm going to catch it.

15:38And I'm going to go, you know, back toward the sideline.

15:41Back out.

15:41Like, he got a long way to run.

15:43And I'm going to spike it up.

15:45I'm going to do the OG.

15:45Like, it's already done in my mind.

15:49Already done.

15:52Him following me, like, never even crossed my mind.

15:59Him doing his job never even crossed my mind.

16:03You're supposed to be like Ben Kelly in practice.

16:13Ben Kelly took two steps back.

16:17Like, what are you doing?

16:19Was you not at practice, dude?

16:20Was you not at practice?

16:22I ran this 11 times in practice.

16:24What the hell are you doing right here?

16:27Right.

16:28Right.

16:29You know, the most that can happen is the dude pushed OG.

16:33And I got to bounce one time and then run in.

16:35You know what I'm saying?

16:36Okay.

16:37Not him tackling me right away.

16:39That never even crossed my mind.

16:41Oh, my God.

16:42That is funny.

16:43All right.

16:43We got to go.

16:44We're up against a break.

16:44See you, OG.

16:46All right, man.

16:46See you.

16:47Yeah.
