00:00Oh, boy, we got a long one about Malik Willis here from the 973 that just came in right now.
00:05Every Dolphin fan is down on Malik Willis, including me.
00:08I don't think Malik Willis was brought here to be the Dolphins quarterback of the future.
00:13It goes on to talk about that in New Jersey.
00:16Pat, thank you, Pat, for the for the text.
00:19Dono, I don't know about this Malik Willis situation.
00:21I wanted it to work.
00:23Maybe it was just me trying to, you know, will it into existence, trying to speak it into existence.
00:30That it was going to happen.
00:31I also I thought that the guys in the front office here, you know, Halfley and John Eric Sullivan.
00:39They seem to be kind of, I don't want to say all in, but, man, they seem to be pretty
00:44high on this guy.
00:45Like he was going to come in here and maybe be the guy.
00:50He stunk on Sunday.
00:52He was terrible on Sunday.
00:57Dono, I don't know what to think anymore.
01:00Everything I seem to think is wrong.
01:02So we're going to perk join us at eight o'clock.
01:05But this Malik Willis thing seems seems troubling at best.
01:10And you pair that with another troubling situation, which is like, I don't know what quarterback to take first.
01:15Even if you were going to take a quarterback.
01:17Right.
01:18With the first pick in the draft.
01:19So that's also another if if the Dolphins tank properly and do end up with that first pick.
01:26The Titans are terrible.
01:27The Titans might not win a game.
01:29I got to think the Chargers win one at some point.
01:33Right.
01:33I would think although Mike, Mike McDaniel and Justin Herbert are doing whatever they can to make sure that doesn't
01:38happen.
01:39They're running the same offense.
01:41It seems like from from the limited stuff that I've seen, Don, granted, this is all red zone related.
01:46But from what I have seen from the Chargers, it looks like they're doing a lot of that quick screen.
01:51And, you know, yeah, that and the stuff that worked here because the Dolphins had two ridiculously fast receivers.
01:58They don't have that in L.A.
02:01And so it is not working out right now for Herbert.
02:03Every time Herbert throws, I don't say he looks like Tua, but, you know, he's thrown to the other team.
02:09It seems like every time he drops back to the throw.
02:12So it's Herbert and Tua.
02:13They're like the Spider-Man meme now.
02:15Look at each other.
02:16You don't know who's who, but on the Malik Willis thing, it's, you know, there's certain things I want to
02:22still give this front office a certain benefit of the doubt because a lot of their rookies are playing well.
02:28So it's like, all right, there are there are signs that John Eric Sullivan knows how to draft at least.
02:34But the Malik Willis thing, it's like it's indefensible at this point, because like you mentioned, nobody knows Malik Willis
02:41better than Sullivan and Halfley because they watched him at every single practice.
02:46And Green Bay.
02:47And yeah, they didn't give him like Sean Watson money or something, but they paid him a reasonable amount of
02:53money to come and play quarterback here.
02:55So they definitely were investing in Malik Willis.
02:58So anyone who's like, well, no, they know he sucks and they want to tank with him.
03:02You could tank with what was already on the roster.
03:05You didn't need to go out and get Malik Willis if you're trying to tank.
03:08So they obviously thought they see something in this guy.
03:12So, yeah, I mean, if Willis doesn't find a way to turn things around and I have a hard time
03:18believing he will based on this five game sample size, then, you know, do you entirely trust Sullivan to select
03:26your next quarterback?
03:27If there's clearly something off with the Malik Willis evaluation?
03:31Yeah.
03:31What well said there, Don, that was my concern, too, is that, you know, this guy or these guys seemed
03:37very high.
03:38And how many times have I heard people say he spent all that time in Green Bay with him?
03:42You know, they must know.
03:44And, yeah, it's very concerning right now that how bad he is.
03:50Like, he just looks very, you know, lost and off.
03:55You know, he's running.
03:57You know, Donna, they had a first and goal at the one and he's running backwards and takes a sack.
04:02Like, what are you doing, man?
04:03I mean, it's just like kind of a lot of rookie type stuff.
04:06And I know that he's younger, you know, in as far as like games played, he's younger.
04:11But that stuff has got to got to be very concerning.
04:18And this texture says maybe we gave Willis 40 million to tank.
04:21It's it's it's a possible conspiracy wrinkle, Dono.
04:25That's why, though, you had you had bad quarterbacks already on the roster.
04:30You could have taken.
04:31You probably could have rolled two out there and, you know, accomplish the right thing.
04:34Maybe they thought Malik Willis gave him the worst chance, the best chance to lose.
04:38And they that they decided they'd bring him in there.
04:41And and figure out, figure out how to lose with him.
04:44But I got to tell you, though, too, I saw a mock draft.
04:47I don't even know where this one was.
04:48I don't know why people are doing mock drafts this time of year.
04:50But I saw a mock draft that had the Dolphins taking the Texas receiver because they fell to like third
04:57or fourth or something in this mock draft.
04:59And they took the Texas receiver Coleman.
05:02Oh, my God, Dono, if that happens, I'm going to just cry.
05:06I'm sure he's I'm sure he's fine.
05:08But, man, you know, I don't know.
05:11I think he prizes, Dono.
05:12I want I want the number one prize here.
05:15All right.
05:15We got to sit through this.
05:16This season is brutal.
05:18And we're going to have to sit through this for another.
05:20We're five weeks in there, 17 by my math.
05:24That's 12, 12 weeks, three months, give or take.
05:27Right.
05:28Am I my math fair on that?
05:30It's good enough for me.
05:31Checks out.
05:33So if we got to sit through another three months of this, plus another offseason, so about another almost another
05:40year of this, I'd like to at least end up with the top prize in the draft, like whatever that
05:46may be.
05:46You know, if it ends up being one of these quarterbacks, if Darian Mensa ends up being the guy, if,
05:52you know, Mestamaker ends up being the guy or I have no idea.
05:56Arch Manning ends up being the guy.
05:59Well, who knows?
06:00Um, but I just want the number one.
06:03I just want the pick, at least if we're going to be this bad, I would I would certainly like
06:08the pick.
06:09Wayne says it's crazy with the backpedaling.
06:11Hey, man, I got sold on Amalek Willis.
06:14I did.
06:15And I watched him in practice, too.
06:17This wasn't just, you know, me being sold a bag of crap from the from these, you know, people there.
06:23I watched him in practice and he and maybe I'm just used to watching the other guy practice, but he
06:28looked good in practice.
06:30Like physically, he does have skills.
06:31He does have tools.
06:33He's got an arm.
06:35He's fast.
06:36It's just that, you know, when he when the game, the live bullets are going, he just is not just
06:41does not seem to have it.
06:43So, you know, again, doesn't always translate to to the field.
06:48And, you know, you can the other problem is, Dono, you've you've seen both practices.
06:53You've seen a Dolphins practice and you've seen a Hurricanes practice.
06:57And we went from one to another.
07:00I think basically in the same week, it is much tougher to evaluate players and talent at a Dolphins practice
07:09than it is at a Hurricanes practice.
07:11The Hurricanes go at full speed.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Right.
07:13So you can tell by watching at a Hurricanes practice, like what's happening, who can play, who can't like you
07:22can tell at a Dolphins practice.
07:25Everything seems like it's half speed all the time.
07:27So it's like that.
07:28And I don't and I've the I've never seen another NFL team practice outside of the Dolphins.
07:35So I don't know how that compares, but I imagine like a Chiefs practice, a Bills practice probably looks a
07:41little better.
07:42Yeah.
07:43And I think it got I mean, it definitely I don't think it got better with with Jeff Halfley.
07:49Like it's not as bad as it was.
07:51I mean, it was with Mike.
07:52The practices were weird, man.
07:54Yeah.
07:55If you ever saw one of those practices, if you ever went out there like they would come out and
07:59they'd stretch and it would be just a lot of, you know,
08:02run around and shorts and half speed stuff.
08:05And at least it's a little better now with with Jeff Halfley.
08:09But like, I think that's Don, I'll be honest.
08:10I'm guessing that's how the NFL is these days with, you know, they just they don't they don't go hard
08:17like the college teams do in in practice.
08:21And so it's it's definitely, you know, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, by
08:25the way, but it's tougher for us to evaluate.
08:28And all you can do is, you know, I watch Malik throw against no pass rush and all that good
08:32stuff.
08:32And, you know, you obviously can't touch a quarterback out there even when there is one.
08:36And, you know, you saw a lot of good physical stuff from him, a lot of good tools.
08:40But it it just does not translate it.
08:43So, yes, there is a CBA, you morons, seven, eight.
08:46Yes, I know.
08:47I realize that's that's what causes those.
08:50It's true.
08:51But I mean, you know, there are also a lot of different regulations, you know, for those who choose to
08:56follow them that come from the NCAA.
08:58But they're pretty teams are usually good, pretty good at following like the practice guidelines in college football.
09:07But, you know, certain programs and a lot of it comes from the Saban coaching tree, because I remember Carson
09:12Beck telling me last year that Miami practices are structured pretty similarly to what he had at Georgia.
09:20Because, you know, Kirby, Smart, Mario, Cristobal are both from the Saban tree.
09:24And I think a lot of people kind of copy that format for practice.
09:28So it's like you kind of I think and I think you should be doing this in the NFL as
09:32well.
09:33Like you have to kind of push yourselves right to the edge of what's allowed.
09:37Like you can't be outright breaking the rules, but you need to the maximum physicality you're allowed to do, the
09:44maximum number of practice minutes you're allowed to do.
09:47If you want to be great, you have to do that.
09:49Like you have to be doing the max.
09:52Well, the hurricane is getting set for for FSU.
09:54The Dolphins on their bye.
09:56We do have a bunch of text coming in that I would certainly like to to get to here.
10:00Dono 786 here says you guys brought in Tannehill to a now Malik.
10:05Please take that as a sign.
10:07You guys have no clue.
10:08I don't know who he's talking about.
10:09He's talking about you.
10:10Was that your fault?
10:11Was that Hollywood who drafted and brought in those quarterbacks?
10:14I'll take the blame for that one.
10:15Dono, you don't have to shoulder the blame for that one.
10:17I'll take the heat for for Tannehill.
10:20I definitely will take the heat.
10:21That was that was my selection in the show.
10:24When was Tannehill drafted?
10:25That's got to be 2012 years ago now.
10:28Yeah.
10:2814.
10:29Yeah.
10:30Yeah.
10:30I'll take the blame for that one.
10:32All right, Dono.
10:32We're going to get to Chris Perkins.
10:34Maybe he'll take the blame for for some of this stuff as well.
10:37Perk's a good dude, though.
10:38You're a very nice guy.
10:39We don't want to be too too rough with Perk this morning.
10:42He'll stop by.
