00:00Dolphins and Chargers.

00:01We'll catch you guys on Sunday morning

00:03for Game Day Uncensored, which will

00:05come your way, and we'll get

00:07ready for that Chargers. Do you think we got banners this week?

00:10Do you guys think we got banners, or do you think

00:11they get the point by now?

00:14You know what?

00:15I would say

00:16save your money.

00:19Buy some more tailgate stuff.

00:22You know?

00:23Buy something fun for you.

00:26I would say this.

00:30I think

00:31everybody cares

00:34that give the impression they don't.

00:38Right?

00:41But

00:42in all of that caring,

00:45and no matter how mad you are,

00:49making a decision

00:51just because people are mad

00:52is not the answer.

00:56And so

00:57I would say

00:59that

01:00okay, great.

01:02You want to fire Mike McDaniel?

01:03You want to fire Chris Greer?

01:05That's fine.

01:07I get it.

01:08I understand it.

01:10But what does that do now?

01:12Because

01:12you're complaining about

01:14how bad the team is playing,

01:17and

01:18if they did that,

01:19the team would get worse.

01:21Mm-hmm.

01:21and

01:23and

01:24and now

01:25you're

01:25complaining more about

01:27the team sucking.

01:29So I don't know

01:30what the answer is.

01:32Is

01:32if it continues this way,

01:35should something be done

01:36after the season?

01:38Absolutely.

01:39Okay?

01:40But

01:40doing something now

01:42to make

01:43everybody feel better

01:45is not going to make

01:46everybody feel better.

01:48It's not.

01:49I feel a little better

01:51in the moment.

01:52No, it won't.

01:52I mean,

01:53it was a little better.

01:54Because if

01:55if you're a fan on the team,

01:57you want the team to play better.

01:59All these people that say

02:00all these people that say,

02:02oh,

02:02let's tank for a higher draft pick.

02:04You're assuming that

02:05that pick is going to be good.

02:07Well,

02:08I mean,

02:08if Chris Greer's here to pick it,

02:09it probably won't.

02:10But no matter who it is,

02:11because guess what?

02:13In all the years

02:14that two quarterbacks

02:15have been taking

02:16first and second,

02:17a lot of times

02:18they've gotten it wrong

02:19and the second guy

02:20ended up better

02:21than the first guy.

02:22So,

02:23wouldn't it have been better

02:23to not have the first pick

02:25and have the second pick?

02:27Like,

02:27you can't figure these things

02:28out all the time.

02:30But,

02:30what about

02:31trading that first pick out?

02:33You know what's crazy?

02:34If

02:35the Chargers

02:36had the fifth pick

02:39and the Dolphins

02:40had the

02:42sixth pick,

02:44right?

02:46Whatever the decision

02:47would have been,

02:47we would have felt better.

02:49Because you're just

02:50left with it.

02:50Right!

02:51You understand

02:52what I'm saying?

02:53So,

02:53like,

02:54there are certain things

02:55that happen,

02:57like,

02:57and I just,

02:59look,

02:59I understand that

03:01people are mad.

03:02I understand people

03:03are pissed off.

03:04Hell,

03:04you hear me.

03:06I don't usually ever get

03:07mad about

03:08certain things,

03:09but there are certain things

03:10that just,

03:10no,

03:11that's not accurate.

03:12Okay?

03:14But,

03:14doing something now,

03:16you think it would

03:17make you feel better.

03:19But,

03:20if you have complaints

03:21about your team losing,

03:23get rid of all the people

03:24that put this together.

03:26Then you're really

03:27going to have problems.

03:29When's the last time

03:29we got a good firing

03:30around here,

03:31though,

03:31Marcos?

03:31Because,

03:32like,

03:32I was,

03:33I didn't really want

03:33Brian Flores firing.

03:34I was stunned

03:35Brian Flores was firing.

03:36Yeah,

03:36for sure.

03:37But you like,

03:38too.

03:38I didn't think

03:39that he was going

03:40to get fired.

03:40Did you like Tua?

03:41Yeah,

03:41I'm a Tua guy.

03:42I like Tua.

03:42Okay,

03:43so,

03:44I wasn't against

03:44the Tua pick.

03:45But,

03:45so,

03:46so,

03:46here it is.

03:47Based on

03:48what his feelings

03:50were for Tua,

03:51and you just

03:52drafted Tua,

03:53don't you think

03:54something had to happen?

03:57Just based on that,

03:58nothing else.

03:59I mean,

03:59now that I know,

04:00like,

04:00now that I know

04:01all of the,

04:02you know,

04:02the details about,

04:03like,

04:03Brian Flores,

04:04nobody liked him

04:05in the building,

04:06that he was out of,

04:06but I didn't,

04:07but my point of it

04:08was at the time

04:09that he got fired,

04:10there wasn't this sense

04:12from the Dolphin fan

04:13that was like,

04:13oh,

04:13we gotta fire this guy.

04:15Nobody,

04:15like,

04:16nobody had that,

04:17had that feeling.

04:18Everybody who,

04:19you know,

04:19hey,

04:20if you had the information

04:20about it,

04:21cool.

04:21I'm just saying

04:22that most people's reaction

04:24when Brian Flores was fired

04:25after a winning season

04:26was stunned

04:27and was like,

04:29that guy didn't deserve

04:30to get fired.

04:32Okay.

04:32Maybe you then knew

04:34and found other stuff

04:34and your opinion changed,

04:35but I'm telling you

04:36in the moment

04:36that happened on the air

04:37on our show,

04:38we were all like,

04:38they must have somebody,

04:41right?

04:42Like,

04:42they must have somebody here.

04:43Or Sean Payton

04:44or something that we're like,

04:45oh,

04:45that must be.

04:46Even Harbaugh at the time,

04:47like,

04:48Harbaugh was in Ghana.

04:49So like,

04:51but this is a different scenario

04:52because I think the fans

04:53just want this feeling

04:54of their pound of flesh.

04:56Like they want that feeling

04:57of like,

04:57can you guys just do something?

04:59They want a body.

05:00Right.

05:00Like,

05:01can you just do something

05:02to make it seem

05:03like you care

05:04about what's happening here?

05:06But what can you do right now?

05:07What can you do right now?

05:09What can you do?

05:10I mean,

05:10I think that if it gets really bad,

05:12if the Dolphins get embarrassed

05:13this weekend

05:13and the fans are booing

05:14and Tua's getting booed,

05:16I don't know what's going to happen

05:17because the Dolphins,

05:17we see the NFL this week,

05:19the Dolphins can win.

05:20I don't know.

05:21Who can figure out this?

05:22They probably won't though.

05:23They're one of the worst teams in the league.

05:24But if they do,

05:26fine.

05:27Well,

05:27you can't wait.

05:28If it gets bad.

05:28You can't start off by saying

05:30your team is one of the worst in the league

05:32and then expect results

05:33that don't show that.

05:35I expect them to get waxed.

05:36I expect them to get waxed.

05:37But I'm just saying,

05:38like,

05:38it is the NFL.

05:39You never know.

05:40Crazy things happen.

05:40Because I don't even know

05:41if the Chargers are good.

05:42The Chargers won the first three games,

05:43then they lost the last two.

05:45Because they're really banged up.

05:47Yeah,

05:47they're banged up.

05:48I mean,

05:48they lost a lineman.

05:50Really banged.

05:50They lost a lineman.

05:51They lost a linebacker.

05:52They lost two linemen.

05:53Dolphins have three linemen out,

05:54Leroy.

05:55The Dolphins are more banged.

05:56They lost two first-round picks

05:57at linemen.

05:58They lost their first and second.

06:00I think Alt's playing this week,

06:01though.

06:01I think Alt is playing.

06:02Okay.

06:03And then they lost

06:03their top two running backs.

06:05They lost Hampton.

06:06And the guy they just drafted.

06:09That is the guy they just drafted.

06:11Oh,

06:11Hampton's the guy

06:12he's drafted in the first round.

06:12Last year was Alt.

06:14Alt was hurt,

06:15but it seems like he might play.

06:17Okay.

06:17And then they lost Slater

06:19to start the season.

06:21Like,

06:21look,

06:22look,

06:23I just,

06:24I don't,

06:25see,

06:26I'm a person that

06:27if I'm going to complain

06:30about something,

06:32I'm going to at least

06:33throw out

06:34what I think

06:35would be better.

06:37And

06:37all of the things

06:39that I hear

06:40from Dolphins fans,

06:42nobody has

06:43a legitimate

06:45solution

06:47other than

06:48get rid of everybody.

06:50And,

06:50and,

06:51and some of the names

06:52they're throwing out

06:53are Gruden

06:54or

06:56in most cases

06:57you're going to end up

06:58with another new coach,

06:59young new coach,

07:00because

07:01that's basically

07:02all that's available

07:03other than retread.

07:04It's going to be the

07:04loudmouth Jack coach.

07:07You already know.

07:08I already know.

07:09I predict it.

07:10Right.

07:10So,

07:11so

07:11the universal language

07:13is kicking ass.

07:15That guy is going to

07:16win the interview.

07:18Right.

07:18The Jaguars are going to

07:19win the stupid South.

07:20Right.

07:21Which we all

07:21that doesn't scare you.

07:23Like if you say,

07:24okay,

07:24let's get rid of everybody

07:26and then your team

07:27loses the next seven.

07:28No,

07:28this is,

07:28this will be me.

07:29Leroy.

07:30We got the guy.

07:31This guy takes no bull.

07:33He's going to have

07:33these guys flying to the football.

07:34I'm talking about

07:35that's next year.

07:36I'm talking about right now.

07:37Oh,

07:37right now.

07:37Will I feel good?

07:39Yeah.

07:41I don't know.

07:41I'm going to feel good.

07:42If they're going to

07:45keep the GM,

07:46I'm going to be like,

07:47well,

07:47this is,

07:47this isn't going to work out.

07:48It's a move point about coach.

07:50It doesn't work.

07:50Yeah.

07:50It doesn't work out.

07:51I like Mike McDaniels a guy,

07:52but I just,

07:53if they keep Chris Greer,

07:54it's not going to work anyway.

07:55So whatever they do,

07:56it doesn't matter.

07:57So they're,

07:58they're,

07:58yeah,

07:58if they clean house,

07:59I'll be like,

08:00all right,

08:00at least they're not going to

08:01clean house in the middle of the season.

08:04Why not though,

08:05dude?

08:05Why not?

08:06Who doesn't love a clean house?

08:08You're going to hire a GM

08:09before the trade deadline.

08:12Most people clean their house.

08:13Five years.

08:14Most people clean their house.

08:15Okay.

08:16So now you decide to do it.

08:18Yes.

08:19Because the last thing we can afford,

08:20to be honest,

08:21is another eight win season.

08:23No,

08:25but I'm just saying,

08:26Oh,

08:27I agree with you that we'll get worse.

08:32If we fire everybody,

08:34it's really hard to get worse guys.

08:36Like,

08:37I don't think you guys are grasping that.

08:38Like you keep mentioning it's going to get worse.

08:40I don't think we're putting enough attention on Leroy.

08:43How bad,

08:44how bad they've been.

08:46And that the only win they have is over the jets.

08:50Barely.

08:52So we're not the jets.

08:54Not the worst.

08:55That's our bar.

08:56Not the worst.

08:57Not the worst.

08:58Not the worst.

08:59But listen,

09:00there's another jets game coming.

09:02Doesn't make me feel better when Vlad works though.

09:05Cause I could always say,

09:07at least we ain't the jets.

09:09Oh man.

09:10I mean,

09:10I get,

09:11I get it.

09:11I just like,

09:13I,

09:13again,

09:15from my own perspective,

09:17right?

09:18Every time I try to tell you what's wrong on a football field or what's

09:24happening,

09:25I try to give you a solution,

09:27right?

09:28If I can't give you a solution,

09:30it's pretty hard for me personally to complain about an issue.

09:36And some of the issues that people are coming up with,

09:39or some of the solutions are not solutions at all.

09:43It's just different.
