Jon-Eric Sullivan says De'Von Achane is in Miami to stay
Transcript
00:00It'd have to be stupid to take this job and not know what's gone on the last 20-something years.
00:05But he's good, man.
00:07I tell you, I watched it last night, and I went, you know what?
00:12I like this.
00:14We got a lot more from it.
00:15But, yeah, now listen, we'll see.
00:17There's still people, even after John Eric Sullivan said that yesterday,
00:22and I'm the same way, man.
00:24I don't know.
00:24I'm made like this.
00:25What did he ask me yesterday?
00:26We're talking about this kind of has to do with conspiracy theories.
00:30And you hear something, and you never, you know.
00:33And I grew up like I had a hook in my mouth my whole life.
00:36I really did.
00:37I was a guy who got hooked in on everything.
00:39He told me something.
00:40I grew up in a small town, and, yeah, okay, and that's the way.
00:45And I just kind of.
00:46And so, you know, I hear John Eric Sullivan say, hey, man, Devon A-Chan,
00:51we want to get a deal done with him.
00:53He is a priority.
00:54He's 24 years old.
00:55What's special about him?
00:57Hey, he can play first down, second down, third down.
00:59He's got a gear nobody else has.
01:01He can catch the ball out of the backfield.
01:03You know, listen, we've seen it.
01:06Oh, my God.
01:08He's slowly becoming one of the great third down, third round picks we've ever had in history.
01:13And, hey, look, the two best players on this football team,
01:18Brooks on defense and A-Chan on offense last year.
01:21I hope we're able to keep both of them.
01:23I saw more on the Brooks thing, and hopefully we'll get general manager on either this week
01:29or next week, and we can ask them some of this stuff, more of this stuff about our team
01:35and some things going on.
01:37But listen, man, Mike and Sims did a good job of really, Chris did a good job of asking them
01:45a lot of questions that everybody wants, you know, to kind of know about with this team.
01:51I know they're the owners meetings, and it's so funny because people are owners,
01:54oh, they're going to go over the rules and what's going on and what are they going to do next?
01:59And you had a pretty good idea of some of those topics that you'll be hearing about today and tomorrow,
02:03although today the coaches are going to talk.
02:05Like yesterday was general manager day, and we'll get into some of the NFL news as well here.
02:11But a lot of it was, hey, man, and the rebuild.
02:16Are we in a rebuild?
02:17Are we like, I mean, because people are putting out if we had a starting line.
02:21Yeah, if we put a starting lineup today out, we're the worst team in football.
02:26If you just look at the way it looks right now, we'd start two free agent receivers that we just
02:33got on the cheap.
02:36We signed a couple of real cheap tight ends.
02:38Yeah, our roster would not, like, knock your socks off.
02:42I get it.
02:43And, you know, we need to upgrade a whole bunch of positions.
02:47I totally agree.
02:49But he broke down everything, and we'll have more, like I said, John Eric Sullivan talking about that.
02:55Salary cap, why do we do?
02:57Some of this stuff, man, is common sense now.
02:59He was asked the questions because you still have to ask them because you don't want to hear it from.
03:03And you don't want to hear us say it.
03:05You want to hear it from the horse's mouth, the guy that actually did it and said, you're gone, you're
03:10gone, you're gone.
03:11We're going to let you go.
03:12We're going to let you go.
03:13We're going to trade you, and we're going to eat it.
03:17I mean, man, we got more money in a cemetery than we have to play with right now for this
03:22team.
03:23You've seen it.
03:24You knew the situation.
03:26You had to pay off your debt.
03:28And that's John Eric Sullivan decided to do it.
03:32We're going to be in great shape next year.
03:34He does believe, and if you do it the Green Bay way, Green Bay has been pushing draft, draft, draft.
03:42Even when free agency was super popular, Green Bay is still draft, draft, draft, draft, draft, draft, draft.
03:48And you can look at their roster, and we'll have more news, too, on the Green Bay Packers and a
03:53player Miami Dolphins might be looking at.
03:56But looking to upgrade their team on the cheap with some guys that can come in and help them.
04:02And so we'll tell you about one wide receiver that the Miami Dolphins would definitely be taking a look at.
04:09There's no question about it.
04:10It's just a matter of what they may want for it.
04:13Hey, not to tease you a little bit with that, and Malik Willis news, we're going to get into that
04:19as well, just on how important.
04:21So it's really interesting with the Malik Willis thing.
04:26I know a lot of you're going, we need competition everywhere.
04:30Like, when I was a kid, there was competition.
04:32And I go, yeah, well, listen, when Malik Willis got that contract, we can talk.
04:37I've been very honest about this.
04:40You can talk about when he got that contract for two years, even though it's not like he's the wealthiest
04:45quarterback in the league right now.
04:48But he got, for what he's done, he got paid a lot of money, what he's done so far in
04:52the league.
04:54He's a starting quarterback.
04:56Quinn Jewers, I know he talked, and he said, hey, we're going to have open competition no matter what you
05:01make and all that stuff.
05:02But somebody's got to line up first, and it's going to be Malik Willis.
05:06And, oh, by the way, he was real careful on how he said it because he didn't want to hurt
05:11anybody's feelings.
05:12But, yeah, Malik knew about Jalen Waddle.
05:16We did give him a heads up as a quarterback that Jalen Waddle was going to get traded.
05:22So, he knew.
05:23He was aboard.
05:24We didn't ambush him.
05:27By the way, just awareness for a GM on things you have to do.
05:32Look, we can do 100% my way or the highway, but that's not the way you do it.
05:38I don't know what it was like with shoes.
05:39I couldn't answer that when she was getting ready to trade somebody if he felt he needed to tell the
05:44key guys or not.
05:45I don't know if he would do that.
05:48It seems to me if it was Bob Greasy or Dan Marino, he'd tell them, hey, I've got to get
05:51rid of this guy.
05:52I know you like him, but I'd get too much for him.
05:55And give him a heads up.
05:57And Bob and Danny would say whether they liked it or not if they were aboard, but, you know, they
06:03would do it.
06:04I'm guessing.
06:06Go along with it.
06:08But, man, you just look at this.
06:11So, Malik Willis is the guy.
06:16But I just thought there were a lot of interesting things.
06:18Very careful how he talked about it.
06:20Very respectful to the cold weather problems, our teams.
06:27In the past, it didn't play well in the cold weather.
06:29It didn't play well against good teams or sometimes bad teams in the cold weather.
06:33It didn't really matter.
06:35But he didn't take shots.
06:36He was, like, just very calculated in his comments.
06:40Very careful.
06:41Not to take shots like we do because we have no class.
06:46But just to, you know, Chris did a crappy job.
06:51He can't say that.
06:53Can you imagine he said that?
06:54It'd be one thing people expect that out of me now.
06:57But, boy, they said that.
06:59And he said it.
07:01Listen, man.
07:01The guy talked about being a GM and, you know, being at these meetings with all the other GMs now.
07:07I mean, a lot of work's going to get done at this thing while he's there.
07:11And it's only a couple of days.
07:12Hell, they'll be coming home probably tomorrow.
07:15But, yeah.
07:16Anyway.
07:17I really don't need to hear that whole cold weather thing anymore, though, man.
07:19That is so stupid.
07:21Well, he did talk about it.
07:24Oh, I know.
07:24I know.
07:25But, man.
07:26That's one I really hope we don't have to hear about anymore, right?
07:29I thought he broke it down.
07:31And, you know.
07:31Listen, man.
07:32Whoever said it yesterday, you know, when the Dolphins had that really good offensive line and they went undefeated, they
07:41beat everybody everywhere.
07:43It didn't matter.
07:44Zonk.
07:45Zonk ran the same as whether it was 200 degrees out or whether it was 20 below zero.
07:50Zonk was trying to run you over.
07:52So, anyway.
07:53It's not something you hear about a lot at the NFL level.
07:56Well, we have around here.
07:57College game, I get it.
07:58You know, you got a lot of guys that are from that area.
08:02But the NFL team should have guys from all over the place.
08:05Yes.
08:06Yeah.
08:07There's a lot of guys.
08:08It shouldn't be like a shock to the whole team when they, you know.
08:11Not everybody grew up in Southern California, Arizona, or South Florida.
08:15You're right.
08:16There are guys who have grown up in very cold weather areas and seen snow and enjoyed it, played in
08:21it as kids.
08:21And mother had to tell him, put a jacket on.
08:24I don't care if the sun's out.
08:25It's freezing out.
08:26What are you doing?
08:27Anyway.
08:28Hey, listen, man.
08:28We got a lot of stuff to get.
