00:00back in on wqam hope everyone's having a good start to their monday morning hope the dolphins
00:06didn't bum you out too bad uh yesterday hollywood dono dan day along here with you uh definitely
00:13want to read all this uh this stuff that's coming in here dono um and i i do feel like
00:18it is a
00:18depressed fan base here this morning i guess people thought it was going to look better i
00:22kind of did myself to be quite honest um there were a lot of you wanted to lose but you
00:28wanted
00:28to look good doing it well the dolphins are uh you know seemingly going to be and i i can't
00:34believe
00:34i'm even going to bring this up but somebody already texted about drafting a quarterback
00:39it's week one and that's essentially where we're at right i mean we're like
00:47again the browns and the titans are the only teams that i thought looked as bad as miami
00:52am i missing anyone am i being too harsh on the dolphins like
00:56uh no i don't think you're being too harsh like i those were the teams that i saw i mean
01:03the brown situation by the way is remarkable i mean they got absolutely waxed by the jaguars
01:11and deshaun watson looks so bad out there it it's truly remarkable it's almost like they're forcing
01:17him to stay out there just in hopes that he'll quit yeah right it's like maybe they're just torturing
01:23this guy because he took all you know he got all that guaranteed money uh from them but uh boy
01:29he
01:29looked horrific and then poor cam ward um i don't know how that situation is going to shake out for
01:34cam but uh dono they kind of had a similar situation the dolphins like i mean if you could pick
01:40a team
01:40to play in your opener you know the jets would be pretty high up on that list oh yeah and
01:45uh the uh
01:46the titans did not look uh very good in uh in that one there so uh again uh you know
01:54just a a tough
01:55opener for the dolphins things get uh very very much uh more difficult coming uh coming up in these
02:03next few weeks here for miami with uh the trip to san francisco and the you know obviously the 49ers
02:09looked very good in their opener they beat the uh the big bad rams who um had to put miles
02:16garrett
02:17on uh on the uh injury reserve there for uh so i guess he's out for what a month they're
02:21saying
02:21right is that is that what uh they're saying four weeks yeah so weeks so miles garrett that didn't
02:27even make it barely made it through the first game there and uh he's on the injury reserve and you
02:32know what it goes to show you with this rams thing everyone crowned him the super bowl champions
02:36before the season even started you got to play the games and it takes a lot of luck to stay
02:42healthy
02:43in the nfl it it really truly does and uh you know we we saw it firsthand donna what it
02:50takes to go on a
02:50run we saw with the hurricanes last year and how much fortune did miami have with health through uh
02:57through that thing right i mean you know but they were they were able to stay very healthy through that
03:02run and you know that's uh that's kind of what it takes takes a little luck
03:06uh on the on the injury front yeah and when you have injuries to have them at a certain point
03:12in the season where you get everybody back for the playoffs which is kind of what happened with
03:17the hurricanes last year although they didn't have like oj frederick in the playoffs and xavier lucas
03:23got suspended for a targeting so you also have to have enough depth to overcome that right there's
03:29some teams in the nfl that do have depth and then there's the miami dolphins where there is
03:34zero depth to speak of whatsoever and then you know the the other game that i was watching
03:39intently yesterday because i'm obviously a big fan of reuben bain and keontae scott uh were the
03:44tampa bay buccaneers against the bangles in the one o'clock window the bangles offense looked really
03:49good um you know i didn't realize something hollywood until i'm watching that game and i'm interacting on
03:55social media there are a lot of reuben bain haters even within the buccaneers fan base which i found
04:04to be a little off-putting yeah why i don't know if it's because college thing i think so i
04:09guess
04:10because like tampa bay there's probably a lot of florida state fans and yeah a lot of gator fans in
04:15their fan base look i keep seeing these tampa bay fans like oh how overrated is this guy which was
04:20and you know bain didn't have a great game i thought cincinnati's o-line uh did really well
04:25against him he just had one tackle in the game not a whole lot of pressures or anything like that
04:30uh tampa could have won that game if not for baker mayfield being very erratic hollywood there was
04:36one sequence where mayfield he threw an interception but the interception was nullified by an offside on
04:42cincinnati so you get another chance on the very next play mayfield has this amazing run where he's
04:48spinning he's juking people he almost gets into the end zone but he fumbles into the end zone and
04:54cincinnati recovers and that was right after getting bailed out from an interception so it was one of
04:59those games for tampa bay but i hope to see more from bain moving forward because i need that bucks
05:05fan base to stop hating on their own guy we still also have to give credit to mike mcdaniel and
05:10his team
05:11that dudded out yesterday oh yes good one you're dan was waiting patiently on that when he comes in from
05:17the top ropes there to uh crap on mike mcdaniel yeah by the way you talk about a team that
05:22was set up
05:23for a good opener i mean they got the cardinals in there and yeah that uh that didn't go well
05:28for uh
05:28for all mike speaking of the uh the cardinals and their former quarterback kyler murray lasted what did
05:34that what was that half a quarter there before he he got the uh the old tua uh injury there
05:40he got the
05:41fencing too yeah yeah he uh he went down pretty bad and then again minnesota finds a way uh to
05:48uh to
05:48get that game um that was uh probably one of the bigger shocks of uh of yesterday seeing uh seeing
05:55him go out there and uh and win that one and then speaking of two of that falcons game was
06:00bizarre and
06:02that the uh steelers could not pull away in that game as much as you know cooper rush was like
06:09please
06:09i i want you guys to win i want you to win comfortably kept i he the the steelers just
06:16could
06:16not pull away in that game i don't think they're very good donald i i will tell this dk metcalf
06:22i mean
06:23how many drops can one dude have in the game holy hell i noticed yeah because he was going on
06:29my fantasy
06:29team but man you talk about drops like that thing was he was so bad in that one we had
06:37that lions and
06:37saints game which was an absolute thriller the saints come from behind they force overtime uh they
06:43go for two and they got basically chuck throws the ball at the back of the end zone uh in
06:48the corner
06:49there on the uh the final play so they they lose the ravens ran all over the colts derrick henry
06:54man
06:55this is one of the most unbelievable this guy's got a he's like the lebron of football it's crazy
07:00right he's still going especially at a position where 90 percent of running backs age out like in their
07:08late 20s he hasn't slowed down at all no not at all 144 yards and three touchdowns for uh for
07:18derrick
07:18henry i'm just uh just crazy and then uh speaking of crazy how about the bears hang 59 on the
07:26panthers
07:26they went 59 to 37 um and i was just trying to listen to sports center driving in like they
07:33they
07:33yeah i'm guessing the bears are pleased like put up 59 points is great give up 37 though yeah not
07:39so
07:40great so it's uh kind of a double-edged uh it was like a college game like you can't believe
07:46how many
07:46points were scored it was a week one record i think but uh that caleb williams he seems like
07:51the uh the real deal over there so the bears hang uh 59 our uh our big story here today
07:57though
07:58unfortunately is that the uh the dolphins uh not very good in uh in their opener not a lot of
08:04great
08:04things not a lot of positives to take away uh we're gonna hear i know dan has some sound from
08:09uh from
08:10jeff halfley so we'll hear some stuff from uh from halfley uh as we uh we continue on here and
08:16you know i don't know guys maybe i just thought we would see some creativity maybe i thought we would
08:23just see them kind of go out there and uh and let it rip maybe they just don't have the
08:27horses to do it
08:28you know maybe that's the other the other i think something hollywood i always remind myself of
08:33when they're struggling is how much of their salary cap is paying to a tongue of iloa not to be
08:40here
08:40you think of all the dead money like the dead money situation it puts them in an extra handicap for
08:46this
08:46season well i mean think about the dead money situation too like jalen waddle minka fitzpatrick
08:51okay you know do that to a tongue below is not playing tyreek hill's not playing a lot of that
08:56money
08:57is going to two guys that aren't even playing yeah which is like you're glad they're not here
09:02but it's also unfortunate that your salary cap is is tied to them uh to it didn't even take the
09:09field on uh on sunday by the way he but his injury was one of the most bizarre things i've
09:16ever seen
09:16like he just went down at practice yeah um and and that was it that was it for uh for
09:22tua he you know
09:23i i don't know if he ever takes the field for uh for that falcons team uh we'll uh we'll
09:29see um
09:30let's uh see we got a text that uh that came in here that i wanted to read uh malik
09:35willis was
09:36as from the seven eight six malik willis was as advertised he's good caleb douglas is advertised
09:41he's good a chan we know is good o-line can't pass block defense uh can't pass rush or stop
09:47the run
09:48linebackers are good secondary surprisingly better than expected uh no depth we're young uh should be
09:55better later in the season as we gain experience that being said wins will be difficult to come by go
10:00fins appreciate that text there's seven eight six good breakdown yeah on uh on that thing and
10:05you know i donno did you you know look it's it's one game it's four quarters so i don't think
10:11we
10:11can make a decision on malik willis quite yet um showed some good showed some bad um it is going
10:18to be somewhat difficult to evaluate him if things don't get better though as far as you know giving
10:25him some time to throw as far as getting you know your receivers out there to uh to hopefully make
10:30some plays at some point um they are just very limited they're a very very limited team uh mr 305
10:37coaching just as bad as the roster it it just feels like they're doing the best they can with the
10:43the
10:43hand they're dealt you know it just you know i would have liked to have seen a little more creativity
10:48yeah but yeah it feels like they're kind of doing the best they can with with what is there uh
10:55305
10:55says oh and 17 it's very possible it i would hate that usually teams lock into a win at some
11:02yeah
11:03i think we will um i just don't know how they're how it's going to happen you know i don't
11:09know what
11:09the recipe is with uh with this dolphins team you know they didn't show you a whole lot like here's
11:16the schedule right now just just so everyone knows you got at the 49ers on sunday uh you got
11:21the chiefs coming up uh for your home opener then you go at minnesota minnesota look pretty good
11:26you got the bangles at home look good look good the jets on the road you know that's not obviously
11:34not a slam dunk anymore pats lions colts bills well i don't like that and that's basically the halfway
11:41point of the season i don't know where the wind comes i i just don't you got the jets again
11:45at home
11:46then you got broncos bears packers chargers bills pats so it's gonna be tough uh because you've
11:54got to have a game where you're like you're plus two or plus three in the takeaway margin but you
12:00also
12:00have to cash in on your takeaways and i don't think i trust this team to do that like you
12:05get
12:05an interception you're in the red zone already i don't know if i trust the dolphins to cash in
12:11oh yeah and by the way two and ten on third down conversions yesterday oh dan
12:18not to pile on uh saying malik willis is good is laughable all i would say about malik willis is
12:24there was some good there was some bad yeah and i and i can't i'm not gonna be ready to
12:28make like a
12:29judgment on the guy i mean i'm not you know like four quarters with with that you know surrounding
12:35him i'm just not ready to be like all right he's the guy he's not the guy uh we gotta
12:40let this play
12:41out just a little bit here uh before we uh we start making our our judgments
