Recapping the Dolphins victory and pointing out two very obvious things: Tua is not the same player he once was and the true face of the Dolphins is De’Von Achane.
00:00Welcome to the show. Victory Monday. Crowder's got his victory. Colorful streamer thing. Twizzle wiggle. I got a nice little gift bag from Hard Rock. And that was part of it. And I said, Hey, give this to Ava. He's like, 12. But I thought like, Oh, girls like little, you know, like pom pom type thing.
00:29He's like, how about I give it to Chaz? Like he's three. This will be better for him. The guy that thinks his 22 year old son wants to hang out with him on a Friday night. Actually, now that I think about that, let me give that to DJ. He loves those things. So Dolphins have won four of their last five. They've won three in a row. Yesterday's win felt super weird to be weird is the word you felt weird to me. I was telling Crowder, we were talking
00:59coming up to the, uh, the studios. And, uh, and I said to him, you know, I'm the guy who's always like, Hey, wins a win. And you celebrate a win. Wins a win. This one, I'm having a tough time celebrating. Uh-oh. Breaking his microphone. I don't know where how Leroy sits. Goodness gracious. He's all piled up on the table. Um, this one felt odd to me. I'm having a tough time just saying, Hey, celebrate a victory on this one.
01:29Um, and there were numerous mistakes that the Dolphins made. Dolphins were trying their hardest to give that game to new Orleans. It's one good enough to take it. And it was crazy. I mean, Devon HN absolute monster. Minka had a monstrous game. Your guy, Riley Patterson is money, but man, they tried.
01:54Yeah, but he, but he keeps going, but they still won't kick a long field goal. I told you. They still won't kick a long field goal. Hey, Jason Sanders. See ya. I wonder, I wonder, but what are you wondering? But I'm, what are you wondering? He can't kick a long field goal. He's, he's, he's kicked one. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. He's kicked one. That's right. There's been how many games? 12. Right. But that's not because you can't.
02:24Hulk hit a 56 yard field goal to win a game. And he needs those Mpick. Do you think, do you think that Riley Patterson could do that? Riley Patterson put on a messy esque performance in the first half yesterday had a Hattie and you're worried about Riley Patterson? No, no, no, no. It's not messy as messy. He hit three free throws. It's not that it's completely different than that. Anyway, I'm not getting bogged down in that. Joe Shad posted on Twitter.
02:50Tua is currently 23rd in the NFL and passer rating, 18th in yards per attempt, 16th in touchdowns and first in interceptions. And Joe Shad writes, he has to be better. He knows he has to be better. Problem is, and it took me a while to get here. I think that's about it for him. I kind of think he's toast. Also terrible week.
03:18The week prior to have the, would you rather have Tua or Bryce Young conversation? Because Bryce Young, Bryce Young's better than Matt Stafford.
03:26Like Bryce Young.
03:28Bryce Young's throwing 40 on fourth and two.
03:29Holy mackerel. Yeah. Tua's toast, man.
03:33And the thing that scares me with Tua is, we talked about it. Can he not do it physically? He looks, he looks different than he did two years ago.
03:40He does. He does.
03:41They've given up hope in him. The offense isn't based around him throwing.
03:44You know, did you see Dan Orlovsky's tweet? Now, I don't know what he meant by this, but I'm going to assume he meant kind of what you're alluding to there.
03:54Dan Orlovsky tweeted today, the Miami Dolphins are a dangerous football team right now.
04:01They have totally transformed their offensive identity.
04:05Now I'm assuming, because I thought the offense looked like garbage aside from Devon HN.
04:12So I'm assuming he's saying, Hey, they're a running team.
04:16They're going to rely on HN.
04:17HN is going to motor this team wherever they go.
04:20By the way, it doesn't look like he can be stopped.
04:22No one seems to be able to stop them.
04:24Offensive lines playing well enough that he's got holes.
04:28But Dan Orlovsky, to say they're a dangerous football team, that they've transformed their offensive identity.
04:35I don't know if it's a transformation more than a realization that what you just said, they don't trust Tua to do anything anymore.
04:44They're not putting a lot on them, only 23 attempts.
04:46But just this, this is the stat that killed me.
04:49He had 23 chances to throw the ball.
04:51He made that into 157 yards and an interception.
04:55HN touched the ball 22 times, turned it into 134 yards, and damn near two touchdowns.
05:03He's the, he's what they have.
05:05That's it.
05:05Like, if I'm, if you're Mike McDaniel, who do you want to have the ball more in their hands?
05:10Tua or HN?
05:11Orlovsky noticed something that Mike McDaniel admitted at the podium after the game yesterday.
05:17He said, quote, for the past month, I've seen the most physical football team that I've had since I've been here.
05:23So no longer a finesse team.
05:25Now they're a physical team.
05:26The offensive line, as much as we hated on it all season long.
05:30And imagine if Eichenberg was back.
05:32I'm just saying.
05:33I'm just saying.
05:34Has looked as good and as consistent and now got Austin Jackson back and had a really productive game yesterday,
05:41as maybe we've seen in Mike McDaniel's time here.
05:45And now you mentioned 22 touches for HN.
05:49The Dolphins are 5-0 when HN has 20 or more touches in a game.
05:53And since week eight, the Dolphins are averaging 151 rushing yards per game.
05:58That's third most in the NFL in that span.
06:02They're a rushing football team.
06:04The offensive line is cohesive.
06:07I listened to the Dolphins post-game show.
06:11It wasn't ours.
06:12It was Jermon Bushrod and Travis Wingfield.
06:16Travis Wingfield.
06:17Wingfield.
06:18What'd you say?
06:19Wingo.
06:19Trey Wingo.
06:20I have a tweet from Trey Wingo that I wanted to read.
06:23That's so funny that you say that.
06:24That's my man.
06:25And I think it was Jermon Bushrod who said, hey, when's the last time you've heard Jonah Savayanaia's name?
06:30Like, that tells you something.
06:33So, maybe to what McDaniel is alluding to and what Dan Orlovsky is saying and what we're seeing with our own eyes with Devon HN.
06:42Like, I mean, was it Chris Myers on the call yesterday?
06:44Like, they couldn't believe.
06:46I mean, it was eight, nine, ten yards at a clip with that guy.
06:50Can you not tell me?
06:51I knew he was a mauler.
06:52Savayanaia.
06:53Savayanaia.
06:54Whatever.
06:54I knew.
06:55I knew.
06:56Look.
06:56You can look at maulers.
06:58Short arms.
06:59Big, thick necks.
07:00You know, Samoans are a lot of maulers.
07:02Let's be honest.
07:03He doesn't need to kick back 40 times a game.
07:05He has to grab somebody.
07:07It makes perfect sense now.
07:08He's thriving in a run first offense, and he was the worst guard in football in the throw first offense.
07:14But a chance of mine.
07:15I was pissed when they started giving Ollie Gordon the ball.
07:17I said, for what?
07:19Wasn't there?
07:20Was there a fourth down play?
07:21Was it Ollie Gordon or Jalen Wright that they gave?
07:23Jalen Wright.
07:24I mean.
07:24For what?
07:25What?
07:26Why do people try to outsmart themselves?
07:30When something is working so flawlessly.
07:34Just give it to me.
07:34I was livid.
07:38Livid.
07:38And I like Ollie.
07:39Wright can play, too.
07:41But Devon HN, you put the ball in his hands, you can't stop him.
07:45He finds daylight.
07:46Top five running back in the world right now.
07:49I mean.
07:49Let's trick him with Jalen Wright.
07:51Thank God they didn't give him up at the trade deadline.
07:54Now you've got to think about giving him a massive contract.
07:57Oh, he's about to get paid, paid.
07:59I mean, you really have to think about it.
08:01Whether you think you're going to be garbage or not, you've got to think about giving that
08:05guy a massive contract.
08:07He doesn't want to go to the playoffs.
08:08Let's get to the offseason.
08:11Chris Greer is sleeping like a baby because he doesn't have to worry about, do I give this
08:16guy a massive contract if we're going to be a middle-of-the-road team?
08:19Chris Greer drafted HN.
08:22He brought back Minka.
08:23Come on now.
08:23How about they got rid of Chris Greer?
08:25They've gone on a three-game winning streak.
08:27Oh, again.
08:28That, you know what?
08:29That game yesterday was a tortoise fighting a sloth.
08:32It was bad.
08:33That was a boring, boring game.
08:35It was boring.
08:35I thought the commander's game was bad.
08:38That was terrible.
08:40Dolphins with 1,000 rushing yards in the first 12 games of a season.
08:44You ready for this list?
08:45Because when you really start looking at the numbers, maybe Devon HN.
08:49I've been against this.
08:50I'm wrong, clearly.
08:51Maybe he's worth the big contract next year.
08:53He's the guy.
08:54The way you would look at Tyreek Hill and go, you know what?
08:56If you have him on your offense, you're going to be a potent offense.
09:00HN's the guy.
09:02HN, you look at him and you go, hey, you've got HN?
