00:00she was just going in on mike mcdaniel and just talking about what like how unbearable it was to
00:05hear the guy and she's right i can't like i can't disagree with her he's got no answers he's got no
00:12answers and wait wait but what then what did tommy say oh i mean tommy was just trying to like he was
00:20he was just in the he was doing he was trying to get in he's trying to get in he was trying to get
00:25in he's just he just kept going um um um like in the back like the whole time it was crazy
00:31and you're up there fist pumping i just thought it was hilarious like this was unprompted we were
00:37just listening to it and she's just like who is this guy he's like he doesn't know how to talk
00:42why that's the dolphins head coach everybody says that though until you get in that position
00:48right it's not the easiest thing like you say oh man he makes it harder he makes it harder
00:54he makes it more difficult he tries to answer too many questions instead of just answering the
00:59one question then we get sidetracked to where he doesn't even answer the original question
01:04yep that's how it goes saying that's a good question doesn't um what
01:09this was him yesterday on how they stink in the third quarter
01:14well i think um you know uh i would i'll go through i could go through all the things that
01:20we've tried to do and they've been unsuccessful um because it's not like it hasn't been on our radar
01:26um this this has been something that uh you and collectively we you know those 27 points
01:33are probably um all in uh games where the you know the after halftime momentum um you know is is
01:43in our favor it's not good enough um you have to be able to um uh come out from halftime and adjust
01:51and uh we aren't um uh executing that at all so uh back to the drawing board and all things are on
02:01the table for that because it's um i could have i i knew it was a ratio like that um which bottom line
02:08is not gonna um you're not gonna win more football games than you lose uh doing things
02:14like that or or playing the type of brand that we expect for ourselves so um not good enough
02:21so so i'm sorry what was that shut up so so here's the deal it's one thing
02:33to say you're making adjustments or halftime adjustments or whatever
02:39i'm not privy to what plays are called all i can do is look on on the field and see what they are
02:50doing and come to my conclusion without knowing what what's being called and there are certain
02:57plays that they run that are staples of their offense and soon as a team or a defense starts
03:05stopping those plays they don't have any counters off of that play that gives the appearance they run
03:11the same play but run a different play that's what i mean about adjustments you always you know
03:17good offensive coaches always stay one step ahead of the defense and that soon as you pick up what we
03:24did we're on to the next thing but for some reason with this team all year since mike has been here
03:34the defense catches up before you even attempt to do something different but by then it's too late
03:39because now you can't do the thing that they're defending and if that's the basis point then once you
03:46start having success doing that that's when you have them have the defense up against them then you can
03:52start doing nuances from that and always go back to the one thing that worked well instead of waiting
03:59for them to catch up and not being able to ever go back and they've done this year and they've done
04:06this game after game after game so like i'm no offensive guru but i can look on the field and tell you
04:14and we've watched games and i say here's what i would do right now here's the adjustment i would make
04:20right now before they get caught up so you stay one step ahead that's what good offensive coaches do
04:25so i'll give you a perfect example with the canes they run that guy around the back a bunch of times
04:33they fake the counter look how a genius this is they fake the counter everybody knows linebackers
04:40follow the guards right they pull the guards to the left of the to the other side
04:47and then ran the ball back out the right with with a sweep with one of your fastest guys on the field
04:53that's it and it all starts with your guy that ran 470 yards that's running the counter with those
05:03two pulling pulling guards so guess where everybody's going everybody's gonna follow those
05:08guards everybody's gonna follow that running back and now you run a reverse at the right time
05:14to where there's nobody over there do you think it's like this has obviously been a problem all
05:19year yes i think he's capable of doing it because like the idea that the idea like maybe his stuff is
05:26just so complex or so in the weeds that like he needs the week to prepare for it they'd look good
05:32usually come out of the gate and then they don't have nothing once it's once that once that juice
05:35is run out they just don't feel like they they don't feel like they have anything else to go to
05:40but but but you always have something else to go to well then he's like it's not a new set of plays
05:46yeah well right it's like you know what i can line my guys up in the same spot and here's the thing
05:53about defenses you have certain dbs that read line where where the wide receivers line up because
05:59depending on where you line up on a football field determines what route you can run and so
06:05these defenders these you know top notch defenders look at where you line up on the field go through
06:12their rolodex eliminate half of the plays because you're not going to run routes we've watched film
06:16you're not going to run this route this route this route from this position right okay now you line up
06:21you line up in three wides to the left uh-oh this is where they normally run that little bubble screen
06:28so we're going to kind of creep up a little bit now you can line up the same way
06:35and run a pass play off of that and fake the quick pass you're going to have half of the defense coming
06:43forward they only need one step the wrong direction you're done that's what happened so that that's what
06:48happened with uh the running back was it chase brown right oh my god he had i felt bad for jordan brooks
06:53but but that's that's my point they ran an adjustment defenses are very good at reading
07:00certain things oh this is what they're in this is what they run i did my start i did my my uh
07:06preparation i'm on it and then if you run just the slightest little nuance of that and have that
07:13defender stepping in the wrong direction it's over but there's also an element too where i feel like he
07:18does things like even even goes away with what's working too like almost like there's a there's a
07:24he thinks he he gives the defense too much credit like i'm a firm believer that if it's working keep
07:30doing it or keep lining up that way until they stop it and you have to go like what different why does
07:36let me ask you a question why does darren waller always have great first halves and then he's just
07:41forgotten about because he doesn't stop being six seven right and um i'm sitting here and i'm sitting
07:46here confused because like obviously the dolphins go and do things like they can't take away jamar
07:51chase you want to know why he's a he's a monster he's gonna go most people so like why all of a
07:55sudden does it become the dulcet second half this has happened like four games this year where darren
08:00waller is like is it because he can only be prepared for the plays during the week and then they just
08:05forget about like i don't understand he because one play here was one play throw it to him i'm taller
08:09than you took it away so why does it get i don't think he did i think he did if you mic'd him up i think
08:16darren waller took it off his head like a little dwarf he's like took it off his head and so i'm
08:22wondering like how come you stop doing that what what why why do why go away from that he doesn't
08:27stop being tall my other thing is is that there's a fine line in some of the things that we're talking
08:35about like they can rotate coverages and defend him right or the coach make the assumption that they
08:45are and change up before they've ever stopped it yeah and i think sometimes that's what i think
08:50is how sometimes what happens with mike mcdale is there's things that are working that he says oh
08:57they're probably going to be on to it so i'm going to do something else without really fully understanding
09:03that so your adjustment could be lining up like you're going to do the same thing have them think
09:10you're going to do the same thing and then have a twist on it to where now you have the thing about
09:16defense all you want one step in the wrong direction if you if that secondary or that linebacker or that
09:25safety take one step in the wrong direction with the speed you have on offense you can get a lead i think
09:31a lot of stuff he does is like overthinking right exactly i just think that you could just tell based
09:36on the man that he's an overthinker right like the idea like putting the weasel on the active roster
09:42it's like that's a nice thing to do that sounds great oh that's a nice thing oh well quinn's got
09:50a rapport with him no you know what if you're the starting quarterback time to get rapport with the
09:53good guys that's that's what it's supposed to be right no i know i know but see and i feel bad
10:00because like i first of all i thought that was a tough call what they put on the kid where they blew
10:04away the the 32 yard i don't understand that kind of unravel and everything so i'm not excusing
10:08them giving up 30 gazillion unanswered points but you you keep going to the weasel and come on man
10:17what are we relying on we can't get a chain of the ball all of a sudden here's here's here's the
10:23other problem and and that i don't know if part of that is you figure oh he's had a couple of big
10:33catches they're probably going to take him out or they just locked him up so i know that a lot of
10:42defense and this is why you got to have kind of nuance to your offense they'll probably say you know
10:48what we're going to roll the coverage to this guy we're going to do this with the tight end we're
10:52going to take him out because he's killing us right what's your next option what is your your
10:57next adjustment it could be same plays it could be something along the lines of let's just swap two
11:04guys right so it screws up their defense because sometimes you'll swap guys and put guys in different
11:11positions and the defense would be confused that hey he's normally over here do we double him and now
11:18you've just singled him up with somebody else you but but i think this team has come off of especially
11:27offensively they've gone away from things that have worked for all the wrong reasons not because
11:36you're outsmarting them right what makes a an offensive guy an offensive guy is the nuance to the basic
11:43things not the fact that you can be ahead of the game and change the whole offense and i think
11:49sometimes mike changes so many things and gets away from what was working and having that nuance and
11:57that adjustment come off of the appearance that we're gonna keep doing the same things and that's
12:03what keeps you one step ahead of them i so i like for me i've seen it all year a lot of people wanted
12:12to go to other things as to why it was happening or why and to or to or to it that was the whole
12:18to a conversation it's never been about to or with me although i admit he's played the worst he's played
12:24in his career he stunk it's all i said that blad we don't have to yeah to a stunk but i think the coach
12:30stunk too but it but it's it's like i've never seen a team who has five or six plays work in the first
12:38half and you move the ball up and down the field and then the second half you can't get social
12:44distancing because dave made an adjustment to what was working so well for you and you have it and
12:50watching it over and over and over again becomes frustrating whether you're a fan or not
12:57on the field and the other half you know you're going to have a team who has been able to
