00:00Dolphins, a couple of moves.
00:02There was some rumblings this morning.
00:04The Dolphins had worked out some kickers.
00:05Adam Schefter reporting that Riley Patterson has been released.
00:11The kicker.
00:12Damn, on your week off?
00:14Yep.
00:14That's the best time to do it.
00:16Give the new guy a chance to get acclimated.
00:18The Dolphins, according to Jordan Schultz, are signing Zane Gonzalez,
00:22who I believe was in camp with them.
00:23Yeah, former Falcon.
00:26And they also worked out former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, which –
00:32Ooh.
00:33Yeah.
00:34Well, I don't think he's –
00:35He's back?
00:35Well, no.
00:36No, he's not.
00:37Not since –
00:37No, I know.
00:39He's still got the whole –
00:40He's a little –
00:41He's got his own massage issues.
00:42Not the first team that's worked him out.
00:44Oh, a lot of teams have worked him out.
00:45Yeah.
00:45But he's all –
00:46Listen.
00:46But it's all been very on the L, like very quiet.
00:49Yeah, on the down low.
00:50Yeah, it's very on the down low.
00:52Like you don't even –
00:53It's like, oh, yeah, we did –
00:54So, you know they do stuff?
00:55Vlad, you know how you do stuff to get a feel for, you know,
00:59and see how it works out to see –
01:02Because, you know, hey, he's a good kicker, right?
01:06Oh, yeah.
01:07Let's get a feel for how people are going to react to this.
01:10So, yeah, Riley Patterson.
01:12Now, it was funny because Jeff Halfley was mentioning yesterday
01:16in his press conference that the Dolphins, with their special teams issues,
01:20like couldn't –
01:20He wanted them to do touchbacks because they were so bad at returns
01:23and the kid –
01:24He couldn't even get the ball there, Riley Patterson.
01:26So, he was like, get this, you know, weak-ass kicker out of here.
01:31Can't kick a touchback?
01:33Yeah.
01:33Dude, this is one –
01:34This year has been the worst year of special teams I've seen across the NFL.
01:38Dynamic kickoff has definitely been – has definitely tilted things.
01:42Well, because if you kick it in the end zone, you get it on the 35.
01:44Yes.
01:45And so, the way they look at it is if we kick it inside the 10
01:48and they only get it out to the 25, we win 10 yards.
01:54RMS is right, though.
01:55They released the wrong guy.
01:55The punter should have been ousted.
01:57Yeah.
01:57The dropper?
01:59No doubt.
02:00Yeah, but Justin Tucker, he also, in his bad behavior, alleged bad behavior,
02:05with the whole country club massages, he also sucks now, too.
02:09He's not good anymore.
02:10He used to be a legend, but he –
02:11See, that's messed up, Tony.
02:13He does, though, dude.
02:14You see, and that's messed up.
02:16Nobody goes bad like a kicker.
02:17I know.
02:18Like, when they – they miss a one or two, you start, uh-oh.
02:22Nick Folk's still doing it.
02:23That's the – but, dude, and this is – I'm happy you brought this up
02:28because I was thinking about this.
02:29Leroy, you played at a time when they would – no coach would go for a 50-yard field goal
02:34unless it was for a game winner.
02:35Yep.
02:36Right?
02:36Now they're kicking it from 60.
02:37Now they're kicking it from 60.
02:39You have to have a kicker now that can boom at 50-plus.
02:43That's right.
02:44Like, automatically.
02:45Yeah, and Riley Patterson can't do that.
02:48They can't.
02:49They need to get one of them super kickers.
02:50But another piece of news –
02:53You don't even need a super kicker.
02:55Just an average –
02:55Competent.
02:56A competent kicker, right?
02:58Barry Jackson.
02:59With some more news, the Dolphins are releasing –
03:04This one hurts.
03:10Storm Duck.
03:11Let me still up to you.
03:12Injury settlement.
03:13Quack, quack, quack.
03:16The Dolphins are releasing Storm Duck.
03:19He was – he had a deadline to come off the physically unable to perform list,
03:23and they opted not to bring him back.
03:26So he is being released.
03:27He, of course, has been sidelined since last year with a knee injury.
03:31He has been practicing fully the last two weeks,
03:34but they have opted not to bring him back.
03:37So that's that.
03:38The Louisville cornerback who impressed his rookie year is no more.
03:44He is out.
03:45So how long –
03:47What's the training deadline?
03:49Three weeks?
03:49Three weeks.
03:50Three weeks.
03:52So you think if they lose to the Jets this Sunday or they lose to the Jets and Patriots,
03:58say they lose their next two,
04:01do you feel that they'll be fielding more calls for certain veterans?
04:07I think Zach Seeler's the guy.
04:08Yeah, I think Zach Seeler.
04:09I think Zach Seeler's the guy.
04:10Well, plus, and part of the reason why is you have two or three D tackles that are young
04:21that if you just get them more reps, they could catch up to where Zach was.
04:27The problem is, is that, like, there's maybe three or four guys on your team
04:36that are on the same page with the coach.
04:40You see what I mean?
04:41And Zach Seeler's one of those guys.
04:42Yeah, he gets everybody in line.
04:44You got Zach Seeler.
04:45You got Brooks, right?
04:48Offensively, you got Brewer, right?
04:52Maybe even Austin Jackson.
04:54There's guys that you need on the team,
04:58and I don't know how they feel about Zach Seeler,
05:01that they could, you know, get rid of that part of it.
05:06True.
05:07Yeah, that's true.
05:07I mean, like, you know, he is kind of the standard.
05:10He keeps everybody, you know, he's a leader for those guys.
05:14Right.
05:15So it's a tough one.
05:16It is.
05:17I think you'd probably, and I think the thing is,
05:18you only do it likely if you're, if you get your socks knocked off of the deal,
05:23right?
05:23Well, not even, right.
05:24If you get something, the same thing, but Austin Jackson has no value to trade.
05:32And if you did do that, you would have to make so many changes in your offensive line,
05:39on your offensive line, that you're making a whole team where it's trying to make a buck.
05:47Yeah.
05:47And so it's not worth it there.
05:50Yeah.
05:50Especially if it's like a, I don't know, like I saw like low picks being put out there.
05:56I'm like, I don't know if that's worth it for, for, for rattling the whole line.
06:00Like your team is already thin enough.
06:02So again, I mean, like it, look, if you're blown away with something like a third round
06:05pick for Austin Jackson, but that's not going to happen.
06:07Let's, let's think about this team like you would a Paul Maurice hockey team, right?
06:15When Paul Maurice got here, his first order of business was getting everybody to play a
06:22certain way.
06:23They hadn't played that way and he wanted them to play a certain way.
06:27Yep.
06:27Right.
06:28However long that took, he got everybody on the same page of playing that way.
06:33Yep.
06:33Now you have a crew that plays the way he wants to play.
06:37Anybody comes in, he don't have to tell them how to play.
06:41Right.
06:42You have the rest of the players on the team.
06:44Hey, this is how we do things here.
06:46Right.
06:46Right.
06:46Everybody understand.
06:47Same thing with the heat guys coming with the heat.
06:50They talk about heat culture.
06:52No, this is how we do things.
06:54This is how we work in off season.
06:55This is how we do things with the dolphins.
06:59You're trying to build that.
07:00You're trying to get to a place where guys know how we do things, but you need those guys
07:06to set the tone.
07:08Yeah.
07:08I would hate to get rid of the two or three guys that can help you set that tone for
07:17now
07:18in the future for a couple of picks.
07:21This was Zach Sealer talking about the trade deadline.
07:23Here's what he had to say.
07:25Zach, we're like three weeks from the trade deadline.
07:28I'm wondering if you've thought about that.
07:30Have you thought, am I going to make it through the season with the dolphins at all?
07:35No, I haven't.
07:36I know people say rumors or talk whatever this time of year, but I'm here focused playing
07:42games here.
07:42When is the dolphin, man?
07:44I think we're doing a great thing.
07:45I'm excited for this next week coming up and coming off the bye.
07:48Ready to roll.
07:48Perk, ask the question people need to know, man.
07:50Yeah, like don't get on Perk for asking the questions.
07:53I'm just saying, like, here's why I say that.
07:59You're a former athlete, so you know how to.
08:01No, no, no.
08:01But this is why I'm saying this.
08:04I'm saying it because, like, some of the questions when journalists or reporters ask players,
08:15are you aware, they really don't know.
08:20Like, you're not paying attention to that stuff.
08:22I would agree.
08:23The only time I watch ESPN is at lunch.
08:26We're like, I didn't watch ESPN when I went home.
08:29I didn't watch, like, and I know it's more, there's more coverage now.
08:35Very much more coverage.
08:36But, like, no, he's not thinking about that.
08:39Oh, and five.
08:40If I had a facility, I'd put Chive TV on.
08:42That's what I'd put on in there.
08:43What's that?
08:45He's 0-5.
08:47He knows his contract, his contractual obligations.
08:52He knows what his contract entails.
08:55He knows, you're telling me that not one time during this bye week he hasn't had a conversation with his
09:02agent?
09:03I actually have what he did on the bye week.
09:05Do you guys want to hear it?
09:05You're not thinking about that.
09:06You're really not.
09:07You're not, bro, you're not having at least one conversation with your agent.
09:12Your agent, like, there are teams that might be interested in you?
09:15I talked to my agent two times during football season.
09:25One was when we played in Chicago.
09:26We went and ate.
09:27Right?
09:28But other than that, no, I didn't.
09:31I think it's different now.
09:32Because when I was in camp, people were asking me about that.
09:39I really had no idea.
09:41My agent called me and said, hey, you're going to Carolina.
09:45Right?
09:45I didn't know.
09:46I didn't think it was a possibility.
09:47Should have told you to pack socks.
09:49Yeah.
09:50Sheep bastards over there.
09:51What did Zach Seeler do?
09:52This is what he did during his bye week.
09:56I sat out in the woods in a tree.
09:59Just kind of just peace and quiet.
10:01Yeah, thinking about where I might be treated.
10:02Just reflect on what we've done in the past and how we want to move forward.
10:06Man.
10:06He told you exactly what he did.
10:08He went to the tree.
10:09He went to the woods and thought and pondered.
10:13Hmm.
10:13Where should my next destination be?
10:15First of all, that's one big-ass tree frog.
10:18Like, could you imagine being any kind of wildlife and going, hey, hey, Cletus, let's go hang
10:27out at that tree we used to.
10:29Okay, Bubba.
10:29And you go over that tree, you look up, and Zach Seeler's in the tree.
10:33Mm-hmm.
10:34Whatever animal you are, you go, let's go to the other seal.
10:37By the way, I love the fact that he chose Bubba and Cletus, two universal intangible
10:43intangible names.
10:44I like it.
10:44It could go for either one.
10:45Why's that bear-
10:46Because Leroy and Vlad ain't going to hang out in the trees.
10:48Sorry.
10:49You think the deer are just, you think the deer are looking at the tree, though, why's
10:52that bear look like that?
10:54Yeah.
10:55Is that a polar bear?
10:56Is that, is that bear-
10:59Why's he only got fur on his face?
11:01Hey.
11:02Don't make no sense.
11:03I saw a comedian, I saw a comedian on the phone, and he goes, we got black bears, we
11:10got brown bears, and we got polar bears.
11:14He's saying, why can't we just call them white bears?
11:20That's a good point.
11:20I sat in the woods.
11:21Yeah.
11:23Just kind of just peace and quiet, no service, and just reflect on what we've done in the
11:27past and how we want to move forward.
11:28It would be pretty crazy.
11:29He has no Wi-Fi.
11:30I would not want to walk up on a Zach Seeler in a tree contemplating.
11:37Nope.
11:38He does not want to be messed with right now.
11:40Geez.
11:42Especially 0-5 Zach Seeler.
11:43He might enjoy places with no Wi-Fi.
11:45Yeah.
11:46Oh, yeah.
11:46Yeah.
11:47That's the best place to think.
11:48Oh, man.
11:50You were in a hot tub.
11:51It don't count.
11:54Take a break.
11:56I don't know.
