It doesn't feel like the Dolphins can get any worse but apparently the owner thinks differently.

00:00Here's another quote from Mike McDaniel today.
00:03This is Barry Jackson in the Miami Herald tweeting out McDaniel on yesterday.
00:08That was an embarrassing effort.
00:10I don't really have an opinion on the two teams in the game because we didn't really participate in the game.
00:20I can attest to that.
00:22I watched it.
00:22They did not participate in that game.
00:25It really, I said it earlier.
00:27It is remarkable to me in that game that Jalen Waddell had one catch for 15 yards.
00:34It's, I mean, that's almost impossible when you're playing from behind.
00:38Like it's, but you know, you saw on that pick on Devon HN when it was a little high, HN probably could have made that catch, but it was a high throw on that pick to start the second half.
00:50Of course, they're going to double team Devon HN.
00:53You have no other offense.
00:55He is literally it.
00:58That's it.
01:00If you're a defensive coordinator opposing this team, you go, I don't have to worry about Tua running.
01:06I don't have to worry about Tua sitting back in the pocket and looking for someone deep.
01:11I got to worry about Devon HN.
01:13HN or bust.
01:15I got to worry about Devon HN.
01:16Maybe he's running.
01:18Maybe he's catching two yard outs.
01:19But I just have to worry about Devon HN.
01:22That's the team right now, guys.
01:24And Hawk, you look at the receiving numbers from yesterday.
01:27I mean, Tua's numbers are abysmal, but it's why in that first segment, Crowder, I'm telling you, I think he's cooked from the standpoint of he can't throw the ball down the field, man.
01:35And I'm not saying he can't throw the deep ball.
01:37We know that's constantly a question about Tua.
01:40But I'm talking about 10 to 19 yards.
01:43That's his bread and butter.
01:45Bro, Malik Washington, five receptions, 30 yards.
01:51That makes Jarvis Landry look like Randy Moss.
01:55I mean, Tanner Connor had the only long catch of the day for 28 yards.
02:00Devon HN, three receptions, 16 yards.
02:02Akine, three receptions, 16 yards.
02:05He can't throw the ball down the field.
02:07By the way, Westbrook Akine, over under our receptions was two and a half.
02:11And I was looking at it, and I was like, hmm, is he really going to get three catches?
02:15And I laid off it.
02:16Man, he caught that third one.
02:17I said, man, what was I doing?
02:19And we've talked about this before.
02:21And I understand the Tua arm strength is not Dan Marino.
02:27Why can't he get targets?
02:29I have, only reason I know it is I have Rasheed Rice, who just came back from suspension.
02:33He got suspended.
02:34He got in a car wreck.
02:35He hurt a guy real bad.
02:36He comes back after six games.
02:37He has 10 targets.
02:39They find a way to get him available to throw the ball to him 10 times.
02:43We already talked about Jamar Chase having 23 targets with 16 catches.
02:48If it's, you are, as a offensive coordinator, there are guys capable of getting guys open,
02:53no matter what double teams are there.
02:56Why is he never, why can't Waddle never be open?
02:59Why can't you scheme up something that he can get open and get some targets?
03:03That's crazy.
03:03One for 15.
03:04And Tyreek's hurt for the season.
03:06Like, there's stuff that is perplexing in this situation.
03:10You're going to beat by 25 by Dylan Gabriel and Jeff Stefanski, whatever the hell his name is.
03:15When you dive into some of the numbers, I had it written down to kind of go over with you guys.
03:21I'll start here.
03:22Miami, 12 yards of offense, including two false starts, by the way, of course.
03:27On 16 first down plays, Crowder.
03:33So, already, you can't move the ball on first down.
03:36Why?
03:37A ton of issues.
03:39Your offensive line creates zero, zero push up front.
03:43So, even if you want to give the ball to Devon Achan, can't get yardage on first down because your offensive line crumbles.
03:51They were 1-13 on third downs.
03:55That's ugly.
03:56They had 11 penalties for 103 yards.
04:00They finished with almost as many penalty yards as offensive yards.
04:05219 total yards of offense.
04:07And they had 103 yards of penalties.
04:10That's half as many penalty yards as offensive yards.
04:13There's failure at every single portion of this team other than kicker Riley Patterson.
04:20Let's clap it up for Riley.
04:222 of 2 yesterday.
04:236 points.
04:24Come on.
04:24I mean, what was the combined yardage of his two fields?
04:28The only guy who scored yesterday.
04:2918.
04:30I mean, Crowder, I mean, that's what you're dealing with here.
04:35Your team is incredibly undisciplined.
04:38Massive black mark on Mike McDaniel.
04:40And then you can't run the football.
04:42You just can't.
04:43You can't run the football because your offensive line can't create any separation.
04:47And then when Tua needs time, needs time to step back and get the ball to anybody, he's got zero time and he's got zero ability to step back.
04:58To make the throws anymore because his body is just not holding up the way it needs to be.
05:04There you go.
05:05That's how the Cleveland Browns, who hadn't scored more than 17 points in 11 consecutive games, blew out the Miami Dolphins yesterday.
05:13I mean, they looked electric against the Dolphins.
05:17Mm-hmm.
05:18The Dolphins, they scored 31.
05:20You know, the Dolphins haven't got to 30 yet this season.
05:24The Broncos scored 33 points in the fourth quarter yesterday.
05:29Fourth quarter.
05:3033 points in the fourth quarter.
05:33The Dolphins haven't reached 30 in seven games with this explosive track meet offense.
05:40And those are what you just said.
05:42Undisciplined, that's on the coach.
05:43And halftime adjustments.
05:45You can't score in the third quarter.
05:46But that's on the coach.

06:25Kim Boekamper was pretty upfront about his thoughts on the game yesterday on CBS4.
06:32And quote from Kim Boekamper yesterday, maybe the worst game I've seen by a quarterback in the National Football League.
06:41It wasn't because I watched it, and I was like, did I hear him say what I think I heard him say?
06:46It wasn't the worst game I've seen Tua play.
06:50It's, and Boekamper's watched a lot of football.
06:53The worst game he's ever seen an NFL quarterback play.
06:57And by the way, the three QBR would be indicative of that.
07:03That's why I said earlier, I really believe last week shook him emotionally and mentally.
07:09Yeah.
07:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:10That's right.
07:11That's why I was suggesting, hey, maybe you give him a week off.
07:14Like, just to reset.
07:17And we learned that Mike McDaniel is not benching him.
07:20Mike McDaniel, I don't know if you watched it yesterday.
07:22It looked to me like the quarterback's coach was telling him, we're going to go with Quinn Ewers, that we're pulling Tua.
07:33It was the quarterback's coach, right?
07:34It wasn't, I don't know if it was Frank Smith.
07:36Someone was talking to Mike McDaniel the series before they pulled Tua.
07:42And Mike McDaniel looked heartbroken.
07:45It, like, he, it was weird.
07:48I see if someone can find this on social media, because I, I, that was the, the, what I made up in my head watching it.
07:55I'm like, he's being told right now that it's time to bench Tua and he doesn't want to do it.
08:00I did see Quinn Ewers after his first series.
08:04Oh yeah.
08:04He just walked to the sideline and Tua came, gave him a pat on the butt.
08:08And it almost seemed like he was waiting.
08:10He stood right next to McDaniel.
08:11McDaniel ignored him.
08:12He was waiting for some, you know, form of acknowledgement from McDaniel, whether, Hey, you're trash or, Hey, way to, you know, way to, way to go out there or whatever.
08:20And McDaniel just never acknowledged him, which was a little weird.
08:26You would think.
08:27I gotta see if I can find this video.
08:29Cause I'm telling you, I was just watching the game live and I'm like, man, someone's telling it.
08:33Cause it was about that point where you would bench Tua in that game.
08:38After the third interception.
08:39I mean, like even for his own sake, how could you leave them in there?
08:43Like you're embarrassing him at that point, but there's no way McDaniel thinks that his offense doesn't work.
08:51He has to think it's on Tua.
08:53Well, I was wondering, it's funny that you say that I was wondering, if you put everybody on truth serum, what would Tua say to you about Mike McDaniel?
09:02What would Mike McDaniel say about Tua?
09:04So this is what happens when things start to splinter in your head, you sometimes out loud, but in your head, you start to think about, this is this person's fault.
09:16It's never your own fault.
09:17It's never your own fault.
09:19No, I imagine Mike McDaniel probably thinks to himself, if I had a mobile quarterback, Oh, the damage I could do to this league, but I am handcuffed by Tua's inability to move.
09:34And I think Tua probably thinks to himself, if I had a normal play caller who wasn't giving me 15 different things to get set before a down, and I could just run the offense.
09:53I was running at Alabama where I was tearing up college football.
09:59Oh, I could tear up the league.
10:02And I think Chris Greer's thinking to himself, Oh, if I had a coach who could coach with these great pieces that I've given him, you know what I mean?
10:14Like no one is saying to themselves, man, I'm bad at this, but I'm really curious what they're all thinking about the others.
10:21Oh, if, if Tua went, if Tua switched places with Patrick Mahomes, are the Dolphins a Super Bowl team?
10:33It is the Kansas City Chiefs, a mediocre team.
10:38Could Andy Reid, could Andy Reid, could Andy Reid make Tua a playoff winning quarterback?
10:44I would say this, I have a tough time believing an Andy Reid led team after what happened against the Chargers and then in the Chargers postgame.
10:56I have a tough time believing an Andy Reid led team would come out and do what the Dolphins did against a really bad team in the NFL on a rainy day the following Sunday.
11:08Now, does that mean Andy Reid could coach them up to victory when he's got, you know, Rasul Douglas and Jack Jones and like, yeah, I don't know.
11:19I have a very tough time believing that an Andy Reid team would look like, just like we saw the Dolphins in week one, where we said, how could you possibly look this way in week one?
11:33But then we wrote it off and we said, okay, week one, they're going to get it straightened out.
11:37And then I remember saying after the New England game, I said, one thing I can tell you, this team has not quit on Mike McDaniel.
11:44They went down two touchdowns, but the team fought back because there was this thought that, hey, maybe the team has quit on Mike McDaniel.
11:51And I remember saying after the New England game, they didn't quit on them.
11:54They clawed their way back into that game.
11:56This was the week that the team rallies around Tua, rallies around Mike McDaniel.
12:06They couldn't have asked for a better opponent coming off that abomination at the end of the Chargers game.
12:15And then the postgame press conference, they couldn't have asked for a better opponent than Dylan Gabriel and the Browns.
12:23Good old easy win, Hawk.
12:27That's what that's called.
12:28Easy win.
12:29Rookie quarterback, third start, in the rain.
12:34Embarrassed.
12:35Worse than they have the entire season.
12:39That's the worst loss.
12:41Solana wore a paper bag to start the show today.
12:45That's the worst loss of the Mike McDaniel era.
12:48Easily.
12:49And that's saying something.
12:51Easily.
12:51Think about last year, Crowder, those four games where Tua Tungvalu was out.
12:56And we're saying, hey, how are you not?
12:59Okay, fine.
13:00Skylar Thompson bleeped the bed.
13:01But now all of a sudden you've got Tim Boyle and Stu Puntley.
13:04How are you not dumbing down this offense?
13:05How are you not finding ways to adjust what you're running to just find some success?
13:11Listen, I'm as guilty as anyone.
13:14I've had an excuse for every problem that, you know, Kansas City, oh, it was so cold.
13:20I have had an excuse for everything.
13:24How could you, in your right mind, come up with any sort of context for the performance the Dolphins put out yesterday, especially after the week that they had just had?
13:36That there's that's why I cannot believe that Stephen Ross did not let him go after that game, because we had heard, hey, unless something cataclysmically bad happens.
13:51Right.
13:51Well, what the hell was that?
13:53That's a locker room separated.
13:57What's he waiting for?
13:59What if that's not it?
14:02Like literally for the guys just not to show up to the game?
14:05Like, yeah, literally we have eight guys.
14:08Mr. Ross, eight guys have shown up today.
14:11We don't know what to do.
14:12Has there ever been a boycott in an NFL team?
14:17From the team itself?
14:19I hear that.
14:20He's waiting for Mike McDaniel to just weep on the sideline for him to finally fire him.
14:24You know, I have to tell you, I was wondering that in my head.
14:27Mike McDaniel seems like one of the few head coaches that would just willingly resign because things have gone poorly.
14:37And they gave him an extension, right?
14:39Yeah, well, before last season, I don't know how much money they're on the hook for.
14:43Is it possible that they said, you know what, if we wait this out, we'll save ourselves 30 million dollars.
14:50I don't know how much they're saving.
14:51I don't know how much he's paying.
14:53But, you know, most coaches, you feel like they just kind of circle the wagons and you're going to have to pull me out of here kicking and screaming.
15:01And you feel like Mike McDaniel might be the guy who says after game, you know what?
15:06I can recognize this team has stopped playing for me and I'm going to walk away.
15:10And I was like, that did cross my mind.
15:14Kyle Shanahan, Raheem Morris, Kevin O'Connell, Matt LeBron would all slap him.
15:19Right.
15:20They fly in to slap him and get on a plane and leave.
15:22Is it possible, Crowder, that Steven Ross has recognized?
15:28Because we're all saying, Steven Ross, what are you doing?
15:30Why aren't you watching what we're all watching and making what seems inevitable?
15:35Is it possible, Crowder?
15:36Because you, you know, not to tie you to this, but you did play on a 1-15 team.
15:41Yeah.
15:42And I like to refer to them as your 1-15 team.
15:45I don't know.
15:46Is it possible, I had your back until you called me 80 and 72 within a 45-minute stand.
15:54Is it possible that Steven Ross has recognized, okay, this is done.
15:59Tua's done.
16:00Greer, gone.
16:02Mike McDaniel, done.
16:03This entire era's done.
16:05But they're accomplishing what we want to accomplish, which is losing.
16:08Why move on from this if it's getting us to where we want to get to?
16:12But where do they want to get to?
16:13They want the number two or number one pick?
16:15Who?
16:17Who cares?
16:18That's how you start to rebuild a franchise, isn't it, Hawk?
16:21I mean, if you hit on it or if you have a game changer coming out, is there a game changer coming out?
16:27I mean, Chris Greer was scouting in South Carolina.
16:30He was watching Lenore Sellers reportedly over the weekend.
16:34Why are you putting Chris Greer on a plane to go scout guys?
16:38That's what worries me.
16:40Why is he scouting guys still?
16:42There's no one in that building that's going to do a better job.
16:48There's no one in that building that can say, what are we fighting?
16:52How are we saying this to me?
16:53I think you're saying that about Mike McDaniel, not about Chris Greer.
16:56Or both.
17:00But to your question, Solana, if they're keeping them around to tank, if this is my tank crew, hey, we can get a high pick.
17:08Let them keep getting that butt whooped because that takes our pick higher.
17:12There is no Anthony Weaver.
17:14There's no Frank Smith.
17:15There's nobody in that building that's going to fix the deficiencies of this team.
17:19No, no, no.
17:20You do that after the season.
17:21You bring in a whole bunch.
17:23But I'm saying, who's the guy you're tanking for?
17:27I don't know.
17:28I remember suck for luck.
17:29There were guys who you would look at and go, that's a franchise changer.
17:35I believe that about Cam Ward.
17:36Not that he's completely looked at this season.
17:38He's shown some flashes, but who's the guy who's coming out where you go, you know what?
17:46It is worth going one in 16, being a national embarrassment because we're going to grab this guy.
17:56I don't know.
17:56And Crowder, I don't know if you feel differently about somebody.
17:59I like the idea of figuring it out when you're there and taking a flyer on somebody until you hit on the guy.
18:08Because as a lifelong Dolphins fan.
18:10Oh my God, they're ending up with Arch Manning.
18:12As a lifelong Dolphins fan who missed Marino, who showed up with a mother bleeping paper bag today.
18:19I don't want to do this anymore.
18:21I don't want the Tannehill scenario anymore.
18:23I don't want the Tongue of Iloa scenario anymore.
18:27Go find a quarterback.
18:29And guess what?
18:29If that's not the guy and you notice it a year in, then go try to find another one and be bad until you find the guy.
18:36Because one thing is clear in this league.
18:39If you don't have a good quarterback that can be elite, you're not winning anything.
18:45Hey, how about this?
18:46I got it.
18:47You could have gotten a Rondé Gadsden the second.
18:49I'm so pissed that he's not wearing a Dolphins uniform.
18:53Did you see the game OG had yesterday?
18:56Stupid.
18:57Holy mackerel.
18:59Bald.
19:00That guy's going to be one of the best tight ends in the history of the game.
19:03Yeah.
19:04Told y'all when y'all was scary during camp.
19:06Oh, I hope he makes the team.
19:08I was just trying not to jinx him.
19:10You still haven't learned your lesson.
19:15Send in the closer for Mendoza.
19:18Yeah, there we go.
19:19Fernando Mendoza.
19:20Yeah.
19:20Didn't he go to Columbus?
19:23Yeah.
19:24Play the chorus for Lenoris.
19:27Mm-hmm.
19:27Like that one?
19:29No.
19:30Kick the tires for Nusser Myers.
19:35What the heck?
19:36Let's go get back.
19:39Hey, Fernando Mendoza went to Columbus from Miami.
19:45Hometown kid.
19:46He's balling at Indiana right now.
19:49F it.
19:49Send it in.
19:51Man, the boy paper thin, though.
19:53Paper thin.
19:54And he's balling at Indiana.
19:56They're ranked like top ten in the nation.
19:58No, I understand.
19:59I'm just saying how many football stars has Indiana churned out.
20:04I don't know.
20:05I mean.
20:08What the heck?
20:09Let's go get back.
20:11Not John.
20:12John.
20:12John.
20:12John.
20:12John.
20:12John.
20:12John.
20:13John.
