00:00the dolphins they got some great news today they activated wide receiver chris bell off the non
00:05football injury list yesterday they signed back quarterback mark granowski who was there earlier
00:11with them because quinn ewers has a banged up groin and they also lost jamari salier for the
00:21season so no bueno there um we gotta mention this vlad sent me during the break just the memes on
00:28tua had himself a weekend dude a i mean the internet we can have to do the weekend the internet
00:38took such
00:39joy to a stunk up the joint in his preseason debut with the falcons and i don't know if he's
00:47just
00:47completely cooked leroy like i don't know what's going on i mean like he always dropped snaps like
00:51he did the second the second play of the game he fumbled the snap which is listen it's not as
00:58easy
00:58when you're at home you know eating your bag of chips it's not as easy to handle those things
01:01so he he does that but this this like the numbers on his throws this was from um
01:11this was from warren sharp two or through five passes zero attempts traveled even five yards in
01:18the air all five were under throws he averaged minus 0.2 air yards the lowest of any qb in
01:25the
01:25preseason he threw all of them to kyle pitts one of them was one of those flipty do passes
01:30uh he was under duress but also he looks like if anybody comes near him he is he's just done
01:36like
01:36he's just not dealing with it anymore um and like there was a one point did you see vlad on
01:42the
01:42sidelines when like kyle pitts just points to him and like i don't know if he just happened to be
01:47doing
01:47that and it just got turned into a meme but it looks like like it's just like him just like
01:52believe this guy stinks this is the guy we got that was that was that like type of point and
01:58look
01:59kyle pitts gonna get a lot of uh a lot of throws to him this year if it keeps up
02:03like that but dude
02:04falcons fans and i know lero's got no you got no love lost for atlanta dude falcons fans are losing
02:09their minds already with two of course of course it's not like penix is any better right can't even
02:18get out there he's not like like one of the things that you have to understand about teams with weapons
02:33right you better have a strong enough arm to get it to those weapons who can fly
02:38and if you can't it's gonna be figured out right away so i don't know if he don't have the
02:46arm
02:48to to get the ball down the field like what they're gonna do because you ain't gonna have all that
02:54horsepower outside and be throwing dinks and dunks right he was uh it was rough and honestly
03:02it's tough to feel this because i used to root for tua man like i liked tua i wanted tua
03:06to work out
03:07you rooted for tua because he played for the dolphins yes but also like i think there was part of
03:17the
03:17there was part of the thing with tua that also was it was a huge national spotlight all the time
03:22but
03:22also listen the guy came back from everybody thinking he was cooked to it was a national
03:28spotlight around tim tebow it doesn't make mean you can oh come on he's not tim tebow though dude he
03:32led
03:32the league in passing again i'm not saying that but i'm saying that just because he was high
03:38claimed doesn't doesn't mean that you know he he can play here's what it is tua was highly regarded
03:49because he played at the time the most prominent college football program with the biggest head
03:56coach with the biggest star he played for alabama so and the fact that the way he won oh the
04:03way he
04:03was introduced to us in the championship game take it over jalen hurts so he was already right he was
04:09already heralded heralded going into alabama we and that we all know he had to wait for jalen then he
04:15outplayed jalen won the national championship and then that was it that was it from then on
04:19every he was either gonna when he does well he's gonna be highly praised if he does bad he's gonna
04:24be highly criticized and that's been it yeah but that and also he kind of changed how people thought
04:29about alabama quarterbacks too because they were mostly like we're dinks and dunker game managers are
04:34runners first and they were he was he was letting it rip down the field like before he was he
04:40was
04:40completely cooked on uh on on his athleticism but it is like i can't lie it is a relief like
04:47it's just
04:47it's not a thing that you have to deal with anymore because thinking about this all of last year and
04:52you think to that first indianapolis game and what a disaster it was right and yeah he just doesn't
04:57look like he's got it anymore he looks like he's just completely he's completely physically shot is
05:02this is this a lesson for all teams that if you physically don't look like you can play the
05:08position that maybe you should just pass yeah probably if he physically can't play because
05:14you can't say he can't play the position because when he played the position what i said was
05:19if you physically don't look like you can play the position should you just pass and what i was saying
05:26the reason why i say that is because tua came into the league hurt well that's the thing we were
05:32right
05:32so this is why i think tobin and a lot of doll fans were they they were extra to root
05:39for uh for tua
05:40because remember going in with the hip injury there was a lot of there was a lot of doubt on
05:46them a lot
05:47of doubt and because they when you realize burrow was going to go to cincinnati it was between herbert
05:54and tua people were more they knew more of tua correct they did of herbert because herbert played in a
06:00uh
06:00in the pac-10 or the pac-12 at the time and you saw two all the time and two
06:06or one in big games
06:08in retrospect a lot of people thought hey get the guys other than tua but because tua was the name
06:17and it was the tank for tua it was all right we're gonna pick tua and because he was with
06:23you guys
06:24selected tua and he was hurt it was gonna be more so all right we want this guy to come
06:29back
06:29get healthy and prove all the naysayers wrong but i think the thing he did everybody was happy
06:35i think the thing though vlad is like yes he obviously is a guy who's always been susceptible
06:39to injuries but it's impossible not to look at what happened with the concussions and be like that
06:43completely that completely no it did i mean you're talking about a guy who's already hurt it completely
06:48warped his physical his physical attributes needed to be at full power just for him to be able to
06:59compete yeah his margin for error a smaller guy if he loses any power it's going to be a struggle
07:07and that's kind of what happened with his arm with his legs with you know i'm not even talking about
07:13the concussions but they're also part of it too because it's like he he's because then it comes to
07:18well he's he's not going to move at all and he just looks like a guy he doesn't even want
07:22to be out
07:22there and it got to the point guys you everybody's looking for anything he said or did to criticize
07:27him because that's when it is what when the injuries happen and then it's to me it started to turn
07:34after that christmas loss to the packers i think that's when everybody started to me that's when
07:40everything started to turn on to it was like they're not a nitpick not i don't want to say
07:44nitpicking but everything he did was going to be criticized right and then last season he didn't help
07:49matters when you know last year was last year was a cuneo ask him a simple question on the sideline
07:55and then he's like opening pandora's box letting us in into things that weren't even asked it was like
08:01okay what's going on with him so it took a while it took a while it took a while for
08:06the love affair to
08:07to end but it just seems very crazy right now how y'all turned on him it's hard not to
08:14feel like
08:14a relief though because you see how malik willis plays in that first drive and he's just flinging
08:18the ball with ease and the offense is moving and he's out there and you're just like oh yeah and
08:24he's
08:24more comfortable in his skin than two or two i don't think two was ever comfortable down here
08:29i think is absolutely comfortable being himself well i think that's tried so hard to be what
08:34everybody wanted him to be as far as how he talked some of the things he said that you can
08:41always tell
08:41when somebody's outside their comfort zone because they end up saying things that come across the wrong
08:48way right if you just say what you want to say and it's genuine nobody's going to care but two
08:55always
08:55tried to like when he talked there was a level of he could never get comfortable and just be him
09:06he
09:06was always trying to be something somebody else wanted to be case in point have you ever met a
09:12quarterback that didn't get up on the podium and say i got to be me right two was always oh
09:17well i got
09:18to run more i got to do this i got to do that i got to do just play quarterback
09:22don't worry about what
09:23people think he was so worried about oh well i guess i better slide up because we got to a
09:28point
09:28where we were cheering the man running for a two-yard run and slide come on
09:34well it's crazy this was him after the uh dud that he had in his preseason opener
09:39not leading not up to standard um not even up to par you know we'll start with the first drive
09:46um was the second play just being able to catch the snap you know little things like that um you
09:53know just thinking about it like what we put out there is not a reflection of the the hard work
10:00the
10:00hard work that we've put in the first two weeks um you know into training camp and it does no
10:05justice
10:06for you know the work that our coaches as well you know have implemented so you know it starts with
10:12me
10:12i got to be better with that you know i thought off of that play we kind of got out
10:16of the rhythm
10:17you know we i think we we could have had a pretty decent play um off of the screen going
10:22to b-rob and
10:24kind of getting getting everything going from there so uh starts with me and i got to be better that's
10:29it
10:30you know what come out and say i sucked we ain't gonna do nothing if i play like that end
10:36of
10:36conversation walk off the stage stop trying to explain it he always trying to explain it because then when
10:42you do that then i'm gonna come at you at hey why are you dancing like that because he's if
10:48you
10:48stunk like that i don't want to see you dancing during practice i don't want to see you doing
10:52old school hip-hop moves i think the dance is from the dolphins i don't think that's a new video
10:57is that the dolphins i thought it was the falcons but maybe it was a dolphin no quinn yours is
11:02in that
11:02video but it was funny oh my god all of the uh all of the videos that went went crazy
11:08this weekend
11:09so more from three years ago uh no i mean there were new ones this weekend the one where he's
11:14getting pointed at by uh by by kyle pitts is hilarious it's like just like again
11:24i had my questions and told me you knew why right i'm not big on signing the guy that high
11:32or spending
11:33a lot of money i had the same problem with the browns why would you give a guy 230 million
11:37and you
11:38know he gonna be out for a substantial amount of time the first year and you already got rid of
11:43your quarterback right like it's not it makes no sense you're wasting money just from that perspective
11:50the same thing with tour right this is not an organization that was known to stay with what
11:58they said they were going to do what their plan was right so why not just get the quarterback that
12:04that's going to be able to play right away oh wow you know what smithen's right i never saw the
12:09video i saw the i saw the still shot it's not kyle pitts it's michael pennix which is even funnier
12:13he's
12:14right you gotta get you know you gotta get you you gotta get your knees right dude
12:21yeah you can't have the injury guy making fun of another injury guy whoo two injuries don't make a
12:26positive tough weekend uh tough weekend for atlanta yeah it it's it what makes it worse is that
12:35all those people in in the locker room no pennics right so when he's telling jokes they laughing
12:44when two are telling the joke they ain't laughing yet because he ain't done nothing for them
12:48and that's that's that's kind of how that goes
