Join the All Dolphins Podcast as we breakdown what was learned in the sixth installment of HBO’s Hard Knocks In-Season series tracking the Miami Dolphins, which are coming off a big win against the Dallas Cowboys.

We are officially live we are live hi everyone we are live for our second episode on this Tuesday December December 26 2023 episode 176 and since the episode has a number we’re gonna tip our hat to a former Dolphin player who wore the number 76 not a whole lot of choices uh players

Who were prominent the first time around we went with Brandon Albert this time I’m going to go with right tackle James Brown hardest man hardest working men in Show Business uh and he was a fouryear starter right tackle for the Dolphins and what makes him interesting is he was

Acquired After Jimmy Johnson took over his head coach in 1996 and a at the time very rare trade with a division opponent the New York Jet Dolphins gave up fifth round pick six sixth round pick for him as I recall and he W up starting

For four years for the Dolphins uh was a solid player not a Pro Bowl didn’t make the Pro Bowl was a solid starter and to get that for a six round pick certainly would qualify as a good trade for the Dolphins so we here to talk some hard

Knocks episode six Omar your overall thoughts um let’s begin how I viewed the episode or how we re reviewed the episode um I enjoyed it it followed the typical Hard Knock formula um they gave fore mostard a more prominent role going back to his hometown um also showing opening up his

Gifts for Christmas with his family like oh man did you see raheem’s tree that was a phenomenal tree man I was like wow that shabby either I mean yeah I mean the house is nice but the the tree is was really special um I actually think I

Know what community he lives in uh based on the house like it’s players generally live in one community so they do they do um but uh I like the episode I don’t think it was their best but I like so many different dynamics of it I I love

The B I love the behindth scenes stuff like the Joe Chino come on I who who hasn’t known Joe Chino if you’ve been around the organization and and you know like for him to be featured and I do remember him being featured on the Joe philin hardox as well um so so think

About it you’re featuring guy who’s who’s a foundational piece for the organization for 30 years that is Chef kiss um we’ve always seen them building the Christmas stories about the Christmas gifts and you know Tua the the I love how they seed in sewed into the episode to annoying everybody about

Opening the gifts over and over and over and over again um that created a common theme and and just sewed it all together and then for him to get simulated simulated golf for for for all of his guys in his quarterback room I think that’s phenomenal I really want to know

What he got his offensive lineman because he always gets his offensive lineman a phenomenal gift so I’ll be hunting that down the locker room on Wednesday there man you covered a lot of territory okay that’s it that’s our recap for tonight good night no just

Joking um no to me the best part about the Tua thing is he was like going crazy the whole time like can we open him can we open him can we open him and then did you see the look on his face when they were about to open the golf simulators I

Mean that look was awesome he had like this excited look on his face like he was talking about Christmas since December started no I know but they wasn’t just receiving the gifts the completely jacked look on his face as he was about to give him the present that

Was that was really really cool and then Maro passing out the ice at toner gloves that’s pretty funny too I have to say nice flashback as you mentioned to the 2012 Hard Knocks and you saw saw a shot of Joe Philbin walking on the field with Mike Sherman and then Joe shimo doing

That um I like I like the cater Co Who stuff with his family you know I would then they’re they’re seing friends so you know right right oh I I if if I had a criticism about the entire episode I’m sorry it was the I mean great storyline and I

Really really really do like Kar but like don’t feature him on a game where he kind of strugg l in a stretch where he struggled that’s the first time I ever saw hardnox really be critical of anybody how were they critical uh they showed they showed they showed him

Releasing lamb and scoring and they like and then showed his family like oh that was on well but then they also had LEF Shriver the the narrator explain that he wasn’t ready to cover him and then he and then passed him off I I didn’t think it made him he

Made him look horrible to be honest with you and it’s again you we certainly can ask why is it that they’re doing backstories on certain players who are not necessarily the highest profile players on the team like we haven’t seen zip from Jaylen Ramsey zip from Jaylen

Wad um haven’t really seen X and he was miked up for this game zip from X yeah and and I thought the minute they put a cater on talking to Mike McDaniel was like this is your team too you know and I’m like that’s kind of a weird little

Conversation I don’t even know they that that clearly seemed to be a conversation that they took from somewhere um and just sewed it into the episode because they had it um Kar just came out of left field so no but he also told him at a practice David long and you are like

Tone Setters at practice if it starts getting like a little dull or whatever not spirited that you guys expect you guys to like back it up uh as I always do I have like your notes I mean I do it in them up absolutely well here’s the thing tomorrow morning on all

Dolphins.com I will have my weekly story on the top 10 Hard Knocks moments so that’s why I already put him up um Christian Wilkins doing in the locker room this guy’s Gonna Knock over Tom garfinkle and Steven Ross holy moly with the flying bump chests yeah yeah that was that was interesting

Sorry um I I go ahead tell me tell me your thoughts on the episode I’ve shared enough no dude I kind of um yeah it wasn’t the greatest I I like the moster going back to New New Smyrna Beach that was very very cool where is new smna

Beach I always thought it was Jacksonville where is it no he said it was a three-hour drive so okay so new I gotta figure out where this new smina beach is yeah I had looked it up on a map actually the first time it came up

Because I I wasn’t aware either I think it’s in the middle of the state yeah I think I’ve been there um I just don’t remember it it’s not a I don’t think it’s a memorable place no offense sorry omark great nugget I did not know this when Christian buys the

Donuts for everybody in the room and says we all know Christian is the cheapest guy on the team or on the planet whatever and then people in the background are going no Li yeah uh that’s another thing I got to get to the bottom of um why Liam is so

Cheap um that that is that is something that does intrigue me because you know I’m intrigued by weird things um here’s here’s things that stood out to me one Mike McDaniel’s outfit team meeting uh he’s wearing some Christian lons they’re white phenomenal a jaboni uh you know he

You know his his wardrobe of of sweater and and and short you know the Mike McDaniel Halloween costume um was Chef kiss um Mike McDaniel really told his team to tell the media to f off yeah I I I I didn’t know when he said it I

Thought it was like ingest no he really did and oddly enough nobody told us to f off because perk did ask the questions trying to see if somebody would tell him to F off nobody did interesting no um uh you know uh I I enjoyed thoroughly them showing the

Practice moments of Tyreek testing out his ankle and I remember those moments because I actually saw myself in the background of hard knock and did yeah and Tyreek said I couldn’t break down how I wanted to I can’t get in and out of my my oh that hurt so bad um you

Could tell and I think that was the second day Tyreek no I think that was the first I’m trying to remember based on my wardrobe so yeah that was the first day he tested out his ankle but then then he start started picking it up later in the practice and we have the

Narration going even at less than 100% the cheetah can do certain things no other cat can come on it’s cute yeah I know it was it was okay then okay Jesus oh we never saw it didn’t happen but and at the end of the episode they went back to it the

Christmas carol celebration which actually is very very clever but it’s it’s kind of elaborate oh no that thing was hor I hated it I hated it from the very start I felt like they felt pressure from Tua to make it Christmas themed it it was just a bad it you could

See the the the the operation of it was whack so they abandoned it correct yeah it it’s way too elaborate it’s way too it’s way too complex people are going to look at it and then wonder what the heck is going on like I’m sorry you got to

Simplify that thing a little bit that that was they have pulled off so much more complicated celebrations and that one just was a bust from the beginning hated it hated it yeah because it was tough to pull off I mean uh was it the Ravens yesterday I think when Z

Flower scored did one of those that looked like maybe the grit The Grinch who stole Christmas who wound up like they’re putting like stuff in the bag and they all like walked away from the end zone like holding it like this which was very cool dolphins are gonna have a

Hard time topping the roller coaster right sorry that’s as a celebration come on and don’t don’t give me the conga line please don’t give me the I don’t even think that’s their best celebration the um the dance um I forget what T um it’s a where Tyreek does the dance and

And and basically puts his it’s a backwards flip I forget what movie is from somebody in the comment section it’s a it’s a it’s an urban movie about a dance battles um and that that was to me the best celebration also one of my takes did you know they call him Uncle

Dan I think I had heard that yet yes okay I didn’t know that I think I had heard that um wasn’t necessarily crazy and it didn’t take up very long of the episode but I don’t know why they needed to read Stomp the Yard is the movie it’s it’s it’s the finishing dance

Move from Stomp the Yard where the guy does a backflip and stands up and basically stands up on his hand and Tyreek Tyreek executed it perect perfectly yes that that’s the movie Stomp the Yard very good movie by the way okay guys guys in the comments can

You tell us if you preferred the roller coaster celebration or the Stomp the Yard um yeah even though it didn’t take up very very much time of the episode I didn’t really have I don’t know there was a need to go back to raheem’s record-breaking touchdown and Alec in

Gold going in there to to retrieve the ball I mean they had covered it already um yes a commenter says and and I’ll bring up Danny’s comment a moment that he really liked was was Mike telling Marino we’re coming for your records day and that was I I was like

Yeah that’s true and Marino knows all his records he’s Marino has told me my records are meant to be broken um I think that uh they they are aware that yeah this is their dolphins are going to become the best offense in in Dolphins history um and that’s what they’re

Shooting for I think I think they’re close that’s a poop hard question to be honest with you um huh how many records how many records are they close to taking down oh I don’t I don’t know I haven’t I haven’t looked at it um yeah I

Mean everything all all all I have to do is compare it to 84 because that’s when when all the records were set I like the other one of of Coo’s younger brother who’s in who was in the up in the end zone and Van gingo gets a p and he’s go

Like Andrew van gingo I need to start using him in Madden I’m not gonna lie that was that was awesome that that was awesome um I really like the moment where uh Mike McDaniel says to them in the locker room I’m hoping I’m we’re praying that this comes down to fourth

Quarter I I want that for this team because we have a special team and and apparently the team did not like that comment and but I understood where he’s coming from because Mike McDaniel has always been about trying to inject belief into this team that you’re a

Special team you’re G to be special and you have to go through these things to have the special season that you’re going to have you’re destined to have and he said it so much I buy into it I believe it um I think they they are a special team

Um I think that the adversity every single time they face adversity I think it forges them to be better as a team um part of the reason I wrote my column um that I’m sure somebody in the Montreal Expos hat will will not necessarily uh believe

It uh in regards to I believe that this is the moment I’ve been waiting impatiently for the moment where Tua Ascend himself into greatness and Elite status as a quarterback it has not happened yet um even though this is very adverse situations for him especially if Wadd cannot play especially if Raheem is

Not 100% and we all know Raheem already wasn’t 100% but the ankle now and it’s an ankle not a knee um Tyreek not being all the way back offensive line for backups having the play uh this is not exactly the most ideal situ ation but Elite quarterbacks

Elevate the talent around them and they do it no matter what and I make the argument in my column that you can find on all dolphins.com um I’m not POS in position to put the banner there you go I I wrote a column all dolphins.com I I’m I’m I’m hopeful that paupard will

Share his thoughts and opinions on it um that if Tua wins and I took this from Behind Enemy Lines who we had uh Todd karpovich Todd carpov you can find on all dolphins.com look for it you know you need to be watching Behind Enemy Lines because it’s

Always a very insightful episode and it doesn’t have a a time stamp on it you can watch it at any point during the week that’s on YouTube not on Old off.com go ahead no more but he’s right whoever wins the afc’s number one seed is more than likely going to win

The NFL MVP because it’s not going to be somebody from the NFC we sure about that who is it gonna be again don’t don’t don’t again who’s it gonna be uh could be Christian mcaffrey come on stop it stop it don’t be ridiculous okay what was the alternative title we’re gonna have for

This for this podcast oh yeah I said what I said and here’s to me I’m going to say it I’ve said it before let’s see see how it plays out the final two games I absolutely think Tu has a shot at the MVP yes Lamar Jackson right now would be

The would be the guy and according to the odds this idea that Tyreek Hill is being dismissed which you did is highly disrespectful to me because I’m gonna say I said it before I’m gonna say it again I don’t care if he reaches 2,000 yards he is the one who makes this

Offense special okay and it’s not just me saying that noticed the number of times in the past couple of weeks that Mike McDaniel has begun saying the impact that twoa makes whether or not he gets the ball you wonder why there’s why the Dolphin receivers are so wide open

So often I.E Durham Smite against Dallas there is so much focus on Tyreek whenever he’s on the field like no other receiver in the NFL having said that your your point part of your point of view colum is you give well that’s a weird look you be

Giving with the one eye open one one you’re gonna give me nightmares um your point about like to or creating his legacy if he balls out in the next two games and the Dolphins W absolutely I completely agree with that uh and I I’ve said I it’s not no secret that I’ve said

All along that’s what I that’s what I need to see to put my my stamp on If he if he does that in the next two games gonna get this from me you win the next two games you beat Lamar on his Turf yeah and then you beat Josh Allen I

Think all three of them are the MVP Front Runners or candidates CU it’s not going to anybody but a quarterback everybody has already said it’s a Quarterback Award not no not everybody maybe maybe dudes like you and some other dudes in the media but no and and

I’ve also read in many places in the National media that maybe this is the year that actually it doesn’t go because again to me it’s Crystal Clear even more so in San Francisco than here but like I said Tyreek Hill is the best player on this offense and in San Francisco

Even more so it’s not even close Christian mcaffry is the dude on that offense not Brock pie you said what you said huh yes I said what I said should we start attacking some of our questions here yes you we should okay we’re gonna start with take this down big bad Frank

Thank you Frank for the contribution any insight on Raheem Shin ankle injury as Omar point out it’s not shin and he got the Dallas dude as you saw on hard KNX kind of got him from the side uh and then teron arm said just add more

Pain like landed on top of him that couldn’t have felt good Mike McDaniel addressed Raheem yesterday basically said he could have gone back in the game um they they were kind of like no dude why don’t you sit it out then Jeff Wilson got in laate in the game and

Really did a good job and it was kind of those where they decided n stick with the hand but I it’s going to be like he’ll barely practice this week and he’ll be on the field I’d be shocked if he practiced uh Mike McD Daniel already

Held him out of two practices last week and he’s been raheem’s been living in the training room since probably the midseason and you know uh they’ve got trust in one another everybody knows Raheem is is Mike McDaniel’s favorite so it’s or or they have a a mutual respect for one

Another um even Mike McDaniel addressing the fact that he had to basic he has to basically Force rahee to sit out practice and B and said um what did he say um I forget how he chastised Raheem he’s like you’re gonna not you’re you’re gonna sit and I don’t care what you got

To say about it um no and then the last episode of of hard KNX is him the morning after Christmas morning opening the presents and he didn’t look like he was any discomfort I didn’t didn’t see anything yeah but the Hard Knock crew is there are you gonna wear your boot

During a hard knock’s crew you think actually had a walking boot took it off for the what what what player do you know that suffers an ankle injury or a high or lower leg injury is not in a walking boot like um Alec Alec engel’s still in a moing boot there’s some

Significance huh there is some significance to the injury if you’re in the not every single ankle sprain gets done okay Omar let’s attack more questions David here this is for you Omar what kind of stats does Tua need to to have to solidify that he is Elite wins don’t care about the stats

Lead your team to a victory do do do what Elite quarter win beat Lamar Jackson’s team mister I always Point as passor rating every single solitary occasion no longer but I’m also Mr I quarterback win loss record is what matters okay so if they win consistent

Okay if they win seven to three the next two games is that an accusation that I’m not consistent what’s going on here what was that little smug little look you didn’t know exactly what it was but okay um well you’re telling me you’re telling me

Omar if they win the next two games 73 with the defense recording five sacks and four takeaways each time TOS the lead because they won the last two games don’t care he put to put his team in the number one seed in the AFC East in a

Very competitive AFC and even if the offense he got it he got I don’t care even even if the he got his team first round by he got his team um homei the team got a first round by not he the team and this is my problem with the

Whole one loss who was it who had oh Aiden oconnell you see that R any of the Raiders Chiefs game yesterday okay well Aiden oconnell was like six for 21 for 74 yards 54 passer rating but the defense scored two touchdowns he got a w Elite he could he could have threw two

Pick sixes like uh Patrick Mahomes well if that’s the bar then okay fins RK 09 what’s the plan if and thank you first of all what’s the plan if wadland chosen can’t play also thoughts on sing signing Jarvis can he learn the offense fast enough no um

No uh what’s the thoughts on offense chosen is clearly in concussion protocol um realize that without absolute confirmation when I saw him on the sidelines in the second half in Street close so that means that they absolutely ruled him out of returning to the game uh I think the chance of him playing

This week is zero maybe I’ll put it at 1% um just give you a chance uh right now let’s say wad I don’t know we’ll know he clearly won’t practice on Wednesday maybe he practices on Thursday um I don’t know what that situation is and this isn’t the only injury that wad

Has fought this season um if they don’t play you’re going to have to play a lot more braxon barers River crate craft sedric Wilson with Tyreek probably have to lean more on the fullback and the tight ends and you were saying I’m about to point out that

Somebody brought this up in the in the mailbag that I did on all dolphins.com the possibility of to get that speed element on the field possibility of elevating Anthony Schwarz from the practice quad oh that anyway no and Omar Omar just shot down that idea I’m saying

Uh um I hear what you’re saying I hear what you’re saying but you’re telling me that um it’s it’s a for a specific role Anthony Schwarz is the only guy with that kind of beep beep speed you’re correct Sanders doesn’t have it and then the other dude on the

Practice sad if they they have another wide receiver does not have it oh you you make a valid point except for Brandon Sanders hands are Stone no but if you want to be a deco talk about we’re talking about Schwarz here I’m sorry yeah correct but to me

Would be for a very specific role and it would be like maybe six seven offense I’m just saying okay all right that’s a valid point that’s a that’s actually you you make a valid point let me not wasn’t mine it was let me not poop through your idea

But I I just think this this Schwarz is good narrative is a little bit overrated well I don’t think any I don’t think we suggesting no I agree with you he’s got a reputation a bad rout Runner and and drop issues but again if he’s so

Bad they why are they keeping him on the practice qu I I it’s funny because I don’t didn’t know anything about the dude and first couple of practices that I noticed you know what I notice Bad Route Runner and drops the ball and I was just like oh oh that’s

The M Mo on this cat oh okay makes sense now well you you you’re a guy with decent size who run like who runs like a 427 or something there’s there’s a reason Okay Kevin fiser thanks for the contribution very much two Kevin happy holidays to you to everybody absolutely

Happy holidays to everybody not just people who give us money rob hunt and Jerome Baker will be available and what’s the number one key to stopping Lamar scrambling thanks as always J no they will not be available um Jerome is not available for this game he’s available for Buffalo and I think

He’s going to be ready for Buffalo I’m assuming um considering he’s rehabbing on the field every single day that I’m I’m out there and if Rob hunt was coming back this week he probably would have practiced last week is my guess or tested it out I think he tests it out

Before he even practices uh I think the nature of that Rob hunt injury was far more severe than than they’ve LED on that it was um and my my former colleague Chris Perkins is probably the one that tipped me off on it considering it is the size of a grapefruit and it is

Basically black and blue and it’s very nasty looking okay and the second part of the question for for Kevin what’s the number one key to to stopping Lamar scrambling it’s tough because Lamar is not strictly hold on Lamar is not strictly going outside and running like that if you saw the

Game last night there were several instances where he’s like going up to the right to the left back up to the like a joystick and then he finds an opening and he goes on in honor of Tula there you go one suspect if ever we’re gonna see more

Man than usual this might be your game I don’t know if I want to play man no no no no you know what let’s the other way around the other way around I’m completely okay I lost it never mind uh the fact that they play zone yeah gives them a better normally

If you’re playing man you’re looking at your guy strictly and if he’s going up the field you got your eyes you got your back to the the quarterback so the fact that they play zone is going to help them in recognizing quickly when Jackson’s going um they but you do need

A spy and um they they ain’t got nobody who can spy Lamar because they don’t have anybody who can spy Lamar but you that doesn’t mean that you don’t need a spy um it’s also about Gap Integrity if you’re supposed to rush outside stay outside don’t try to be a hero because

If you go inside then you’re giving Lamar the outside and vice versa so it’s it takes a whole lot of discipline to rush but Rush responsibly look at you you sound like Vic fangio yeah I could I could chall Channel you Vic Fango right now Rush responsibly uh if they were to

Spy who would that spy be right now yeah right now tell it to me I mean there even there’s not even I don’t know if there’s a DB on that team who can who can who can stay with him uh Duke Riley maybe yeah I mean but D

Riley’s got his own responsibilities but but they all do I mean who who’s it gonna be you generally have had they generally have had to play another safety um remember that was when they play those ath quarterbacks it’s always another safety coming in probably filling in a linebacker role and I

Remember when it was Walt aens one time I think Javon Holland has worked as a spy I remember Minka fatrick playing a spy um I I can’t remember if it was Javon the last time they played uh the Ravens well they’ve had the last times I I’ve noticed somebody plays F it’s been

Jerome Baker and then there was one time it was there was Jerome Baker it was Channing t also and play SP against was it against Justin Fields last year maybe interesting believe that may have been the game and it didn’t work out necessarily all that great Joe thanks

For the contribution love your guys show do you see Ramsey as a good teammate I never see him in any speeches group Etc I’m a huge fan of his well in that case if if you’re huge fan of his he’s an awesome teammate no I think he’s a good

Teammate I think I we’ve seen him work and mentor and develop young players and and and and get everybody right I mean think about how he’s been a teammate the first three months of the season when he was rehabbing um he was a phenomenal teammate um I just don’t think Ramsay is

The type of guy who gets in front of neither is ex type of guy who gets in front of a group and goes rah rah rah you know this is the the the the vocal leader um Juan Lopez says man oh hold on hold on do I not get the Chim I was

Joking by the way yes ramse is a good leader but he’s not not he’s not like like Omar said he’s not a an overly vocal guy go ahead Juan Juan my man Christian Wilkins is Gonna Hurt Steve Ross listen Steve Ross is not this fragile old man that y’all think he is

Um I haven’t checked with him lately but the last time I heard he did like something like 50 50 levels of stairs and not like a stair Master but his actual stairs in his building he’d do floors he’d walk up instead of using the elevator and or or that’s the exercise I

Got to check to see if he’s still you know keeping that up but you know he’s back on these streets and and as a divorce so you know you gotta keep your sexy on so maybe that’s why that’s why he’s doing that but still having said all that I mean Christian Wilkins is

What 315 pounds and Stephen Ross is not 315 pounds I I love I love the fact you know it’s funny that they made made sure everybody knows Christian is the cheapest man on the team and well we knew that by the way yeah we knew that from the beginning when he first joined

The Dolphins and he told us that he was like very proud of that fact yeah well you ain’t that cheap if you sitting courts side at the Heat games and I’ve seen you in in courts out of the Heat games a couple times brother unless they’re free tickets I was gonna say

Maybe somebody’s cing him right you might be right it might be his sorry Dave thank you very much what was the interaction between Tu and teron arms said at the half looks like he he was like pumping him up maybe teron was telling him he was battling through

Stuff I don’t know that that I couldn’t quite make it out I think that was my perception they they you could clearly see that they cut hard KN wasn’t going to show different portions of that conversation probably because maybe teron was telling them I’m soldering through some stuff right now but I think

That happened right after to like teron whiffed on a block and it got to a Creed I don’t think it was a sack because I believe Lester cotton gave up the only sack it was a Parson’s nail in the back where he got called for roughing right before right

Before the touchdown right before the touchdown I think you’re right I think you’re right and it it and it was clearly teron just whiffed on it and you know maybe teron was like apologizing or whatever what not tron’s such a standup guy um but I also love the that what he

Said to Terron at the end where he’s he’s telling them hey we’re running at left teron this is all you like this is all you and your guys like let’s get this done and that was at the end of the game when Jeff Wilson now coincidentally Jeff cuts it right so you

Know I prop props to Jeff for for reading his instincts or or maybe the Dallas Cowboys overplayed it left so um that that was a very I I love so many different moments from that episode I still didn’t didn’t even go through all of them um okay hold on hold on let’s

Move on to more questions J Norville thanks very much for the contribution best in the business keep it up look forward to you guys every day that is very kind of you JC love hearing those comments too another moment I loved was Tariq at in the second half basically

Saying money down to a throw of me no matter what yep and he had another when Tariq says that to you exactly what you going to say you going to say yes sir um oh and then he goes and at one point he goes like I’m waking up

Now did he I missed that yep I’m waking up now okay let’s see what we got here Ohio John hey hey Ohio John what’s happened to brother I know this team has some gim rats but I noticed with all the practice they show on Hard Knocks they never get into

Weight room sessions do they not do that once the season starts oh absolutely they do that all the time sometimes they do that after practice like they’re they’re different they they wait lift weights all the time bro they lift weights all the time they have yeah and

I don’t know what what the entertainment value of that would be yeah no I I don’t know what the ENT value is either of that like do do I know on Instagram we watch people lift weights all the time but I have no desire to see uh people

Lift weights no unless it’s somebody who’s was lifting a ridiculous weight uh this is gonna be very quick and very quick and painless Justin H going to be good to go this weekend wouldn’t count on it no I wouldn’t count on it either um I I will when the minute Holland actually

Practices practices we’ll let you know but he’s not returning until he practices practices Juan Lopez thank you very much crazy how this team has a 4K QB two 1K wide receivers and a 1K rusher yeah it’s qu it’s quite the explosive offense quite the explosive finesse

Offense go there I almost snuck that are you really gonna go there not a power offense come on man me and Jo we’re gonna double team you this week man like listen you got you gotta put some respect on them they are not how is that is how is that not

Respect to me it’s actually more impressive what they’re doing than the purely power offense like Tennessee used to have and by the way San Francisco is not a pure power offense because a lot of it is again is misdirection yeah Mo and all that the two teams who do pre- snap motion the

Most in the NFL by far you do motion you’re not a power offense come on bro motion is just identifying missing my point again Omar you’re missing the point that’s part of the MMO of being a a unit based on motion deception timing and all that good stuff and execution

More so than your Tennessee your Philadelphia your Steelers when they had your own Bettis those type of teams and on defense because I motion and I work on deception and I work on timing that doesn’t mean I can’t punch you in the mouth that doesn’t mean I can’t run if

I’m blocking with guys coming at all different angles as opposed to straight up straight ahead oh so just because I just because I don’t straight up straight up attack you I’m finess like come on bro if you’re this is this is this is this is such or how about it’s okay how about

It’s a stupid discussion because they obviously mix stupid discussion a little bit of to me a okay then in that case I’m going to completely disagree with you because yes a power team it goes straight straight at you I’m coming at you and you know I’m you know I’m coming

And I’m going to do this and you’re going to stop it that’s what Baltimore does and you don’t think Baltimore does motion you don’t think Baltimore does Deception much less dude Nobody Does it even a third of the time that the Dolphins or San Francisco do it so that

Makes me not finesse that makes me a it’s part of the whole thing my God it’s impossible okay let’s go on that get questions that’s a lot more interesting than this conversation here oh I think they like the conversation oh my God you’re driving me nuts you will put some

Respect on their nonf finesse offense they are all encompassing offense that has finesse element and power elements to him fine don’t call it power offense it’s not a power offense I didn’t say it was a power off okay obviously a finesse off obviously every okay but please

Apply Nuance when I say that obviously every team uses different variations and different forms first and foremost what makes the dolphins go is rhythm speed timing execution the motion it’s not because of how overly physically powerful they are sorry okay okay thank you and what makes them great is that they could do

Everything they could do everything okay whatever they can’t third and short but they can do everything okay then they can do everything it’s very hard to call I will never accept they were Power Team when they they practically did their third and one conversion rate sucks I

Sorry I said I’ll allow that I will allow that that’s very kind of you go Isler thank you all winning teams we had played lost prev previous game uh no that I’ve seen that before and that’s incorrect because when Dolphins played Buffalo they had just smoked Washington

The week before so I mean you’re not the first one who brought that up it applies for KC they had lost at Denver it applies to the they had lost against the Jets and it applied to Dallas they had lost against Buffalo and I’m not 100% sure exactly

What yeah I saw that Jabari I was ignoring it for a while I was I wasn’t wasn’t gonna ignore it totally but you haven’t looked at Tu stats this year with a cheetah not on the field he has a higher rating than Tua than Tariq off

And on then on okay I am not unlike Omar married to the passer rating which where if and if for example I’ll use a Jets game as an example where two is basically dinking and dunking the entire game except for the one bomb to jayen W and his passer

Rating was very good because of it so I if you’re gonna tell me it’s the same offense when tyre’s not on the field by all means go for it but I’m gonna say no I I I don’t disagree with you um I have not seen these two Tyreek on Tyreek off

The field and I damn sure ain’t gonna do it because Tyreek is on and off the field a ridiculous amount of times um it’s hard to keep track of Tyreek to be honest with you um but I would love to see those numbers because I’m I’m now

Curious but yes when Tyreek isn’t on the field there’s a lot whole lot of Dink and dunk I mean it’s and more often than not when there’s a big first down to be had it goes to Tyreek I mean and that ain’t no that ain’t a coincidence so

Okay uh and I don’t know what the overall point of that was um what do you mean you don’t know what the overall point of what it was that t doesn’t need Tariq okay no I think I think people are saying you’re you’re you’re you’re saying this offense

Is a byproduct of Tyreek and they’re saying no I didn’t say that I what I said so I’m quoted accurately is what makes this offense truly special is Tyreek okay what makes this offense truly special and I think Tua and Tyreek and Mike McDaniel would all say that is

That everybody plays to their strengths and that includes Tariq who’s got the most strength mean what does that mean that means the offense is custom built for the talent that they have around uh that that they have like there’s certain I’ll tell you again um the teardrop pass a two

Throws um to to the corner to the corners okay you know which I’m talking about yeah I would say maybe 30% of quarterbacks in the NFL actually can make that throw to it that’s his best throw consist Le Fair okay you build the offense around that

Throw I mean if you made that throw if you made duh I mean duh yeah but if you built that throw if you built that throw into an offense for Ryan tanah Hill it ain’t gonna look the same correct and then you’re a bad coach who deserves to

Be fired I mean okay that’s why that’s why my thing is like okay I mean it’s kind of kind of the essence of coaching is you maximize yeah but we’ve covered a lot of coaches who couldn’t build an offense around Adam gase could not build an offense around the talent he had Adam

Gase just could build an offense that he knew that was a cookie gutter offense and everybody need to fit into it yeah said it I said it and yet and yet and yet the first year he built it around the running game because they had

And you know he hated every second of it did he did he not do it he did it but he hated every second of it okay let’s go back to Frank Frank thanks again is Duke Riley 80% of Baker or 100% of Baker the guy seems imp ful and hardnox highlighted his

Leadership I don’t know if hardnox highlighted his leadership but they showed him giving a speech on the sideline after yeah okay okay he’s and who’s gonna break it down Duke’s gonna break it down everybody knows because Duke talks so there you go uh so what’s your percentage percentage that Duke is of

Baker I’m sorry um Duke is 80% of Baker and will he be 80% of Baker when Baker isn’t is 80% I don’t know you’re higher Duke is what 90% of Baker yeah they are not the same players man one has if they were the same player I’d say 100

Per. okay all right cool oh I’m exasperating you aren’t I good turn abouts fair [Laughter] play all right well played Touche on your part um keep looking at questions yes we we we’re we’re sorry if we missed your your super chat questions we’re getting heavily criticized for not scouring and

Addressing every super crack question we do our best we absolutely do our best what what I would encourage you to do is not repeat things that you say if you said something one or two times in the chat trust me we’re going to get to it

If you said it 20 times in the chat it’s hard to find other things people have said vic thank you very much for the contribution shout out to my wife Jessica from you guys absolutely hey Jessica hey Jessica how you doing she puts up with my dolphin fandom and is a

Trauma ICU nurse in noala Florida she is a rock fins up give it up for trauma ICU nurse oh my God I got I got a good story to tell on this one um man um went to the emergency room at the hospital my wife wife works at um I think she had

She’s falling asleep and there’re people that are coming in and it’s like heavy hot action in the trauma I seeu you okay and literally they bring in this guy from a car accident and the blinders are not like all the way closed and so I’m literally just I’m watching all

That’s going on okay and they’re doing some trauma and your wife is a nurse as well they’re doing some really heavy stuff okay and the guy dies on the cart that’s rough and I’m like watching it like it’s a show and you heard the

Line you saw the line I I saw I saw everything literally saw everything like I’m sitting there watching gry’s Anatomy or one of those shows and then literally the guy died these people picked up and just moved on with their life and another crew came up and cleaned him up

Bagged him up and I’m there I’m watching the whole thing and I’m like ho crap that the first time I ever seen a guy die and I was it was and what these people have to emotionally go through oh my God it’s I probably put it

Second only to uh police officers and I was married to a police officer in a previous life and God did they deal with some trauma but um my um um anyway let me not say yeah no and no I got that too no my my brother is a doctor and he came

Across a a bus accident carrying elderly tourists that fell down like a Ravine and a Ravine and he was like talking about the scene that he saw I would like shook him up a little bit no it’s that’s that’s why everybody in the medical profession I mean major hat tip to and

Again one more time for Jessica hat tip to you Jessica have to to you and a a tremendous respect for the things that you do and how you help save lives because man I couldn’t handle that pressure every day uh well no and it’s and as you mentioned it’s also one of those

Where you can’t take it home with you and it’s it’s going to you’re going to lose patience and you know it’s going to you know what’s funny Let me let me address this let me let me address this SC Earth go Scorch Earth firearm training I did jaylen’s first postgame

Interview in Jacksonville as a rookie and even then he didn’t like giving interviews that’s all cool well and good however Jaylen Ramsey had a podcast a weekly podcast um last season with the with the Ravens um that he did interviews was media and basically talked about the game and and whatever situation they’ll

Do it when it benefits them um this is part of your job it comes with your heavy salary um it is literally a responsibility that you are required to talk to the media twice a week put your big boy pants on suck it up and make the

Best of it and truthfully speaking if you don’t want to talk we don’t care because we don’t need to talk to you but if you are going to talk whether they make you or not like don’t be a Le less than Pleasant fellow yeah don’t be a less than Pleasant fellow and

Truthfully speaking ain’t nobody twisting your arm if you don’t want to talk we don’t want we don’t care we don’t we don’t want to talk to you like they’re guys that we have we don’t like and we haven’t talked to you all season like we’re not that media crew and contingent

Okay yeah no and then I reached out to to know colleague who covers the Rams and was told that he was he was great when he was there and then his reputation early on is was exactly that that he wasn’t particularly um every interview that I that we’ve done with

Him that that I’ve been a part of it’s it’s like I’m doing it because I have to and when is this going to be over it’s that that that’s that’s the feeling he projects that’s like where other guys like will engage and like like Raheem for example most it’s a good example we

Don’t need that we we were no I’m with you I’m like you don’t want to talk to us that’s fine we won’t talk to you uh there are times however though when if if there’s something newsworthy and last week there was with Ramsey because of the whole shadowing issue it was

Newsworthy to get his take on the whole thing and we didn’t make the story correct Kevin and it comes with as you said it comes with a territory especially if you’re a high-profile player and you have the salary that goes with it Kevin again this is a good

Question who is your most improved player on the team with two games left that’s a very good question Andrew van gigles I knew you that knew that’s where you were gonna go uh bro that dude’s impactful impact player in the NFL like he was but he was

So solid though bro he got replaced like two times McDaniel error absolutely he got reped he was never a full-time starter before yeah he was he was a fulltime with um with Flores oh or was he hold on yeah he was I mean he’s kind of he’s kind of the

Obvious I would say or in a very in a oh hold on I’ll give you another one yeah he start was a full-time starter two four two four years my bad my bad my bad I um another one most improved player Kendall lamb like that dude started half the year I don’t even

Know if it’s fair to call him a backup but but but he was good I’ll give you another one Bradley chub which is weird because you wouldn’t think of him as a dude what was he how did he perform when he after he joined the Dolphins last year he did the Pro

Bowl what you like oh that’s right didn’t cover the team last year well take my word for it he was not impactful impactful in the least he made the Pro Bowl on reputation and when he did make the Pro Bowl he was like what um and

This year he’s going to make the pro and deservedly so so I didn’t know they have more sacks than everybody than every Dolphins team in franchise history yeah I didn’t know that either um Brett put it out there Brett and I was like word like already with two games left

Can you believe that well also keep also keep in mind that the NFL season was 14 games until well you can got a lot of 16 game Seasons I understand understand that but I’m saying if you look at their Super Bowl teams I don’t think the 7 I

Think the 73 team was more about getting sacks than the 72 team um I know they had one dude Bill stanfeld had 18 and a half did they even pass back in those days 7273 dolin Dolphins didn’t Dolphins didn’t pass very much uh Dale fin here suggests Jason Sanders is the most improved

Um you know he’s he’s 22 W I didn’t even get this on I had to read this like three times laugh out loud I just saw this on X Flores seeing that Tua gifted the entire QB room golf simulators that’s that’s funny like um what was the

It’s probably a gift like I could I could probably make it in I could see where the creative mindes uh because the whole knock and this is we could I could put this out there now the whole knock on Tua during the Flores eror was that he wasn’t committed to being the best

Quarterback that he could be um and he wasn’t committed to the game because Tua became obsessed with golf and golfed too much allegedly yeah no I remember then the whole thing that that he may or may not have gone golfing the the morning of a game Baltimore rivens

Actually for this one Dominique poop didn’t you cover the Super Bowl teams ha I’m old I’m not that old I’m old enough to actually have to remember seeing the games BN games but the offense won both of them uh Austin Jackson by the way what about him uh people throwing them

Out there for most improved okay I can see that yeah yeah that’s a good one um uh unleash the fury Tom Brady said it best we are all system QBs and okay I don’t I I I don’t believe in system QBs just so you’re correct obviously a good coach is going

To tailor the offense to what your quarterback does best the the the whole question the again because it’s not this way all the way over here or all the way over there there are certain quarterbacks who can fit into more systems than others that’s the whole and

Then when you throw the ter system quarterback it’s a suggestion that that particular quarterback has a more limited number of schemes that where he can succeedes as opposed to others that’s that’s where you say system quarterback but obviously to build an offense that’s not catered to your quarterback’s skill set is

Stupid if we’re if we’re going back into the history of these offenses and and I hear where you’re coming from and I respect it the foundation of the offense the Miami Dolphins and the the San Francisco 49ers run is Mike Shanahan’s offense he actually in his offense needs wants prefers athletic quarterbacks who

Can scramble so Mike Shanahan yes Mike Shanahan read his book that’s the reason why they drafted the kid that they traded Miami’s picks for talked to players who played in that system Brandon Marshall like trust me they they want that system Jake plumber is the ideal quarterback for

That system um John Elway is the ideal quarterback for that system and John Elway had scrambling ability now does it does that mean you absolutely need it no because Tu is not a Scrambler and and Hell BR pie the scrambling kid Trey Lance did you know he he got

Outperformed I think systems evolve based on the skill sets of the players that you have and I I don’t believe that that’s what I just said you tailor your your scheme you tailor your scheme to the that’s why I don’t believe there’s such a thing as a system quarterback I’m

Sorry Michael Vic would be a success in any system that you put him in because he was Dynamic at everything that he generally did except for working hard like I I’m sorry you’re talking about a freakish athlete over there though yeah yeah yeah yeah but Lamar you’re telling

Me the Lamar there’s systems that Lamar Jackson can’t work in are you telling me that there’s systems that Tom Brady can’t work in are you telling me there’s systems that that Aaron Rogers can’t work in yes Aaron Rogers has played in the same damn system his whole career

That helps him Drew Brees played in the same system for over a decade that helps him I think it’s just it’s about adding to I think the successful system quarterbacks are guys who’ve been in systems for six seven years and their playbook or institutional knowledge is

Extensive look at where Tua is from year one to year two in the same system it’s it’s it’s it’s a about growth and just adding on to things like I heard that Tom Brady’s Playbook was like 700 plays and after accumulating it for for what God for 14 years you understand why it

Was 700 plays but I I don’t see Tom Brady as a system quarterback and that’s that’s just me I I’ve never really believed in that whole system quarterback thing Matt sha was a system quarterback in this similar offense um mean Commander pick six wow

Um I like I like Matt CH I thought he was was a decent quarterback but then he started getting the pick sixes and Matt Ryan was in this system and had an MVP season is does met cha fit this system or is he a system quarterback I I just

Don’t you know I’m sorry not Matt chob Matt Ryan and I’m not even a Matt Ryan fan but his best year came in the system yeah and they also had like ridiculous te ridiculous team around them um we’ve hit every Super Chat question I I am trying you double check

I’m going to go look in the the the the other questions and yes Stomp the Yard was the movie um a phenomenal movie by the way um Lamar misses a lot of throws are we really gonna do this we’re not doing that not this week and we’re not

Putting any disrespect on Lamar’s name not this if I have to hear the Lamar not a good passer I mean seriously in truth to is there truth to golfgate in damn yes he wasn’t supposed to play right was that the game with the thumb correct and this is the one that I see

People saying he’s two and0 against Baltimore he’s not turning against Baltimore because he didn’t start that Thursday night game he came in after the hold on did he did he did came in and win right yes because that was a game that McDaniel I mean that was a game

That yeah the defense one the defense won is where X had a had a fumble return for a touchdown they won 22 to1 give me a break seriously they won 22 to10 brassette started uh wasn’t moving the offense Mike MC Daniel thought not Mike McDaniel Brian Flores kept wanting to play

Brasset because he liked him better than Tua and that was just effing stupid tell me it wasn’t was stupid well I’ll tell you yeah no I yeah it’s not stupid no no I I yeah I’ll tell you what else was by the way the whole handling of T in the first

Two years was completely mind blob mind blogging mindboggling starting with putting him in the lineup prematurely in as a rookie when the when the Dolphins were it was like everything that they did was it feels like in hindsight intentional sabotage no you disagree no I I think

What I what I believe happened in the in the first place is as a rookie they had decided their buy was going to be like week nine or 10 or whatever no matter what two is coming in after the buy well the schedule got changed because of

Covid and the the buy winds up being week seven and then they stuck to that plan this despite the fact that they were coming off two 20o wins with Fitzpatrick and traumatized the whole team by stealing it from the veteran that everybody loved and then handing it to

The unpro rookie you don’t think that’s sabotage and then to put him up against the the fierceful forceful loss Angeles Rams for his very first start against the NFL’s best defense you actually think that you think Brian Flores decided to like make the switch so he

Could go in there against the Rams and face that tough and then you could prove that he’s not ready and I could go back to what I was doing but then that’s the case when want just delay his his entry into the starting lineup Brian Flores was insubordinate on many levels and you

Have to acknowledge that so you don’t think that at some point considering his very um toxic relationship with Tua that at some point something that he did was was intentional sabotage like he wasn’t Tua wasn’t ready to start when you put him in the starting lineup nobody will tell you he

Was ready to start and you did it anyway like you traumatized the whole team just saying all right we’re ready two are you ready go in like against the best defense in the NFL your first start like come on man don’t think don’t think that was pure intent or don’t think that

Chris Greer forced his hand when did Chris Greer ever Force his hand it wouldn’t be Chris GRE was weekly on a weekly basis sabotaging his own team in 2020 2019 and and Brian Flores was ignoring him on a regular basis like so don’t sit here and think that oh they

Forced his hand by starting Tua like nah and and you know Brian fores didn’t have any good will or intentions for Tua from the start yeah yeah come on know a combine meet up like I don’t even understand why Brian Flores allowed them to draft

To well because he didn’t have a say in the matter that’s no he had to because Chris grer is not going to give him a Chris G has said to me verbatim I’m not going to give a head coach a quarterback he doesn’t want okay then answer then

Answer your question I don’t know I it makes no sense to me okay hold let okay let me address this unleash the FL okay you may be on to something there I’m not I’m not sure then unleash the fury poopy is two and0 he was part of two-c scoring drives with

The rushing TD the one loss record which I despise when you’re talking to quarterback back applies when the guy starts the game okay so seriously don’t take wins for example Tua got credit for the win at Las Vegas in 2020 when it was Ryan Fitzpatrick who came off the bench

To to to win the game so no he doesn’t he did not win the game against B two is tell I mean pupart is telling the truth and this was another case of it wasn’t brassette either who should get the W they won 22 to10 with a defensive

Touchdown consistent that he does not like whenn loss records being on quarterbacks this is one of our major gripes in our relationship that there’s there is no there it’s an absolute impass and we will not move be moving past it nope nope uh Juan again thank

You very much I don’t think there are system QBs I think all QBs have potential and it’s all about the coach getting the potential out of them the QBs that aren’t successful don’t have a good system around them or or there’s some are just not that good

Yeah I don’t I’ve seen quarterbacks in good systems that just aren’t good like um you know Baker Mayfield a lot of people are praising him for what he’s doing I saw a stat as well they should he’s playing playing really well I saw a stat that he’s outperforming Tom Brady

In like a number of key statistics and I was thinking to myself like man props to um Todd BS and his staff for for actually getting I always thought Baker Mayfield was a good quarterback just in bad situation so there are good quarterbacks in bad situation he W come

On he was speaking oh speaking of of good quarterbacks in bad situations and you’re gonna have to give me this one because early early on when there certain teams had bad quarterback problems and there were no Solutions in sight did I not say somebody should go

Out there and get Joe flacko yes you did and I said Joe flacko is done stick of forking him he’s been done and lo and behold he’s got the Browns in contention for the number one seat I was having a conver ation w w w with my friend um

Technically they can win the number one seed correct yes yes what has to happen they win two Baltimore loses two so they finish at 12 and five and the Dolphins finish 12 and T then the Dolphins would have to beat Baltimore lose to Buffalo these are all very possible

Things because Baltimore will play at the end of the season for Mike Tomlin and if he doesn’t get beat the Browns this week Pittsburgh yeah P Pittsburgh if he doesn’t beat the Browns this week then that Ravens season finale is for Mike tomlin’s winning record we damn sure

Know that’s gonna happen no the Steelers play at Seattle this week and then they got baltim they’re at Baltimore in the final week Baltimore in the final week so who do the Steelers play this week anyway I’ll look it up no no no you said Steelers Steelers are at Seattle

Cleveland has the Jets at home on Thursday night and they’re at Cincinnati so chances are they finished 12 and five oh God yeah uh oh and then quick note on that if the dolphins go at least one in one their last two games they’re assured of well if they win their last two

They’re number one seed if they go one and one they’re assured of no worse than the number two SE okay all right no thank you no all the qb1 loss record means is the QB was present during those wins and losses nothing more thank you Noel

You’re the man I know a lot of guys know and you’re one of them okay we disagree no we do what’s Holland what does that mean I don’t know I’m just two is 34 and 17 none of the guys in his draft class win that okay see look at poop look at

Poop look look at him look at him look at him it’s just his body’s rejecting this comment uh I I just you can say he’s better than Herbert all you want and I’m still going to ask Omar the same question I’ve always asked and he’s still going to give me the same answer

With the same caveat I’m not answering any questions from you okay do you know exactly where I’m going with that oh and in fact I’m gonna bring this up the athletic take it for what it’s worth did in their power rankings this week listed their MVP for

Every team for the Dolphins they had Tyreek Hill and for the LA Chargers even though his numbers this year were not impressive in the least and he’s been on IR Herbert and even at that and for those who say I’m a Herbert lover whatever to me that wouldn’t have been

The choice for the Chargers to me the choice would have been khil Mack was got like 15 sacks but uh just for those who want to keep poo pooing on Herbert all the time um whatever um Castro says flowers is a dog and I absolutely do agree with him Z flowers

Is that dude he’s the he’s the closest thing I’ve seen to Tyreek Hill in the NFL since teams have been searching for the next Tyreek Hill dog ju what I’m trying to say is if Lamar would have been drafted by the Bears he would be Justin Fields wow he’s much he’s much better

Than just I think Juan has a very good point I do think Juan very good point there is there is some Merit but I think Lamar Lamar Jackson’s better than Justin I I saw another stat breakdown which showed Lamar statistically in the last five games with Justin Fields

Statistically in the last five games they were trying to portray it as oh Justin Fields isn’t the problem and I disagree because Justin Fields is the problem he’s not that good at a quarterback um but you know bad teams do bad things or make bad decisions this is

Just a reality of of of the world in the NFL yes they caught my Cameo I’m I’m curious if anybody’s gonna nobody cares about me that much so no oh Jesus are you serious I’m dead serious no like give me give me a break come on people tell Omar how much

You care about him no no no no no no no that’s not the point I’m making um I did see myself and I was just like oh okay I was wearing that outfit I was I was looking at myself you know would Mike McDaniel be impressed with those shoes

That I was wearing because some we we have a special thing you know me and Mike where we you know check out each other’s shoes like yeah he showed me the last game The Last uh no it wasn’t the last one what home game was it he walked in and he

Goes and he goes um you see my off whites I say yeah I see him um but he always wears off-whites to the game which is why and I’m a little disappointed because like I think I know he has to wear Nikes but there other

Nikes that he can wear and I’m like why do you just consistently do the off-whites but I don’t want to ask him that at press conference because it’s you know please don’t please don’t there are people who are really obsessed with his sneakers I am one of

Them and his his glasses and his for me and yet for me no I couldn’t care less personally with with all du respect but hey um I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mike McDaniel wear anything that isn’t dolphin’s Garb that isn’t more expensive than $400 that isn’t less expensive than $400 and

You’re like who cares I know I’m I’m trying to see if I can muster a care level higher than sorry it’s what it’s what he likes it’s what he do okay he’s a different kind of Coach he’s he’s completely different and part of it is is he he’s

He’s swaggy okay yeah I have to just no hold on that’s not here we go poar had a had had to a big drink for this and I’m not sure if you’re talking about this hold on it’s gonna show up the color it’s a color it’s always it never shows up it’s

Water can we get clay pull the ball in space um I’d rather get clay pull the ball in the end zone but I I hear what you’re saying um it is what it is bro he made a tackle the whole team celebrated and on special teams like

I think Lamar is way better too in my opinion if Justin would have been drafted by the Ravens he wouldn’t be as bad as he is now no that is yeah it helps to be drafted by a good organiz that is facts that is facts um he’d be the next Joe

Flacko uh this is interesting here Kevin is the potential for inclement weather this weekend in Baltimore still a warrior narrative for this year’s team or just a response to historical December WS I looked at the app I looked at was which acute weather called like

What 45 to 51 and didn’t see rain in the forecast so I I know buddy Todd said that um maybe he got it from somewhere else a different source that there could be rain um he does live there no correct well the weather they don’t have to live

There for a weather app I’m just saying the the weather app I saw um are the worries still there well here’s the thing if we if we’re going back to for example the Buffalo game last year was in the cold it was very cold but it was dry until there was like

A some some snow late and Tua played well the Tennessee game in 2021 it was raining and it was cold and he played like crap if it’s raining and it’s cold yeah those are are tough conditions to you know to throw in regardless um so um and considering the Dolphins have the

More explosive passing game of the two teams you prefer the weather to be as nice as possible unless the Dolphins decide to show they’re a pure Power Team and just pound the Ravens into submission okay I see what you’re say I see what you’re trying to do there I’m not biting

Uh let’s this hold on it’s disrespectful but since the Dolphins won 30-year-old without him it’s easier to make a case for QB than a receiver who has missed a game and list listen we’re not going to do this tyreq to uh Tyreek has told you

To as the MVP we’re we’re not gonna that gonna do that that’s the stupid it is a with all du respect T’s told you it is and we’re not gonna do that they played an an a an offensively deficient team who they knew couldn’t score Five Points the entire game so

They had a very conservative game plan with a lot of yak an insane amount of short throws with the one deep ball again it was one game and if you if if you look at the overall body of work and what the Dolphins offense has done you

Can decide for yourself if you think it’s more about Tua than Tyreek then go for that’s fine okay but don’t tell me just because the Dolphins spank the Jets 30 to nothing um in a game where the quarterback was had to was asked to do an extraordinary small amount of heavy

Lifting yeah sorry that’s not not a convincing argument for me all right hold on there was a couple one there’s one I saw here I wanted to address uh I gotta find it let me just double check these super chats since we we okay here’s my first question here

Shear Me BR why poop can you ask Omar you can ask him yourself but sure I’ll ask for you can you ask Omar why we drafted two if our coach wanted her Herbert whose call was it since Greer doesn’t give coaches QBs they don’t want he did not want Herbert he wanted Jordan

Love he didn’t he wanted to draft an offensive lineman first and then draft Jordan love with the 18th pick um I when you you on draft day you do not put together your board you put together your board way ahead of draft day and you stack up your players and

Rate them in the order so obviously a the collection of people in the room that make up the decision makers decided that Tua was rated ahead of Herbert Tua was rid ahead of love and if he was there at five that they take him despite the injury now does that mean that Brian

Flor was was totally on board with this it does not but he would have have to have come out and said to Chris grer I don’t want to coach Tua and I don’t believe that he said that which is why Tua was the pick and this organization

Was intentionally tanking for Tua for an entire year whether Brian fors liked it or not they had had their eyes on Tua since 201 18 and I know that for a fact and proposed the tanking and executed it it I remember exactly when I heard about the proposal of the

Tanking and executed it um tanah Hill was the quarterback for a game that was very Monumental and he lost it and it was proposed to me the night before it happened so anybody who thinks that oh the tanking was oh coincidental no that was planned so and unfortunately the coach that you hired

Did not like the guy and did not support the tank and then the guy was forced on him and there clearly was a lot of resentment built up from the yeah and there’s some shaky like you should have hired a guy who was on board for the tanking then

Again it’s kind of delicate to talk about tanking when you’re hiring a coach it’s It Was a Very Yes and and technically you’re not supposed to be tanking even though we know everybody in NFL tanks but you know do were punished for all of these bad misdeeds and they

Lost their first round draft pick and paid a ridiculous fine and Steve Ross had the stay away from the team for half a year so this is all water under the bridge we’ve all moved on the divorce has happened let’s Tu is happily married to Mike McDaniel he’s the best thing since slice

Bread and when he wins MVP he’ll become the highest paid quarterback in the NFL no but okay uh let’s resol Graphics getting the ball out fast that fast in reading the defense that quick is heavy lifting every game JS I assume that means just saying here’s the thing throwing a bubble

Screen is is not again that’s sorry that’s not heavy lifting okay or doing a doing a little toss in front when the guy’s running a Jet Sweep that’s not heavy lifting you know they do not do that all the time so stop that I didn’t

Say they do that all the time I said look at the game against the Jets the Resolute Graphics is having an issue with me saying that two didn’t do a whole lot of lifting against the Jets and please go rewatch The Game where’s I mean like it’s it’s really quick throws

To the outside that’s not heavy lifting and and under circumstances where he’s throwing more down the field yes reading the defense is absolutely a skill not heavy lifting why can’t Brock oser do it wow why don’t you go I don’t know why don’t you go with a difference more

Obscure reference the hell the first of all Brock Oswell never played in this in this system even if he did uh even if he did play in the system um and you’re talking about with all due respect actually considering it was another prickly guy in the dolphin locker room who was kind

Of a stiff so and I I wouldn’t I disagree with your rationale that everybody can throw bubble screens everybody can’t throw bubble screens anyway I they can’t dude come on seriously it’s to if if it was so easy to do um why couldn’t they do it in 2019 when they had a horrible

Offense with two as a quarterback because you you have that wide receiver who can make a guy Miss at the line of scrimmage it’s not just as simple as uh and as I recall I think they did not in 2019 they did a lot in

20 21 to Waddle which is why his average was so was so poor oh yeah I’m sorry it’s not 2019 um yeah yeah okay um okay not every quarterback but a ton of quarterbacks can do that that quick bubble screen and again sorry there are games where two

Really baled out that game against the Jets other than that beautiful throw to Wadd don’t disagree with you wasn’t a whole lot done there come on yeah I I’m I’m actually endorsing what you’re saying look at that whoa yeah okay we’re gonna do one last Qui go around here

Make sure we didn’t forget anybody Joey Harrington another blast from in the past um oh Joey Harrington was horrible it’s better than Brock Osweiler yeah Brock Osweiler was the baseman of of mediocre quarterbacks there you go Juan Lopez I think it’s impossible for thank you again for all receiver to be

MVP their success depends too much on the QB look at Devonte Adams I don’t think he is a pro bowler this year a running back has a better chance I would agree with you that generally speaking absolutely quarterback has a the best chance running back second wide receiver down

The line however and this is this is where to me it’s disrespectful that that a lot of dolphins fan just do not understand the magnitude of what this dude does for your offense not only with the big plays over the top the the number of times he gets himself wide

Open in clutch third down situations and the space he creates for everybody on that offense I think to me that’s disrespectful to Ty but that’s just me okay I’m not I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you I I don’t think it’s only just Tyreek that bases the offense that’s what I don’t think it’s

Only tyi that spaces the offense they’re him and waddle are spacers nobody fears Wadd the way they fear Tyreek that’s still Fe Wadd it it it it adds a dynamic to it when you have two guys that space the field which is why I consistently tell you Robbie chosen is very important

Element to the offense because he’s going to space the field and keep everything consistent with what you were doing whereas nobody else is going to do that because I ain’t running with Braxton barriel and I ain’t running with River Craycraft and I’m not running with Chase Claypool and I’m not running with

Cedric Wilson hold on let me check something was no for the third game okay um no I trying to say the game I’m trying to say like Tyreek when wd’s not there there was a game in against Denver um the 7020 game I had okay we do have

Another Super Chat mahom just threw 14 passes at or behind the line of scrimmage yep and and anyway I’m not not sure what the point is there but um momes Mahomes right now is being victimized by by wide receivers who a lot of times can’t get open and or

Dropping passes all over the place and or running the wrong routes yeah or you it is what it is um well thank thank you folks we have done 80 minutes we the episode is longer than the actual hard KN episode liked the episode found a lot of things revealing about it um

  1. Pop reminds me of my friend i eventually got rid of no matter what i said he had an argument finally i told him to get the fu.k out of my car 😆 😅

  2. This the omar fem episode talking like in living color hated it hated it. all the wardrobe and shoe talk is interesting. Poup I feel 4 ya having a wife at home and a second one here. U might need therapy.. or perhaps this show is your therapy.😢😢😢😢

  3. I get tired of the disrespect for Tua. The award is called. Most valuable player. We won without Tyreek, we won without Waddle and I don't think we win without Tua. Last year should have taught you that. Tua is more valuable than Tyreek and it's foolish to suggest otherwise.

  4. What’s a spy? And I noticed Tua being more vocal in the huddle. I know he has been but it sounds like it’s the usual cliche family on 3 stuff. This episode highlighted him hyping up the defense to get him the ball back

  5. What is your opinion gentleman with the Dolphins run a two tight end scheme with Claypool and bringing what makes Lamar uncomfortable with the Flores blitz defense against a tuff physical team who will probably beat us ??

  6. What would it take to get you guys to talk about the shit that you actually know and have insight on with your press credit? As opposed to Omar's RIDICULOUS, ILL-THOUGHT, IGNORANT takes? It's incredible how little he knows after 15 years and the dumb ass NAME 5 players that have a better shoe collection. Good God! You guys are reporters? Why are you learning things about players from HBO? Do you even do your jobs? FML. I can get ignorant silly opinions from fans in Canada that don't have a press pass..JFC.

  7. Agree with Omar that wins are the important stat for Tua. Based on wins, Poup’s opinion on Justin Herbert being elite has no merit. Herbert had a great rookie year but hasn’t been good since. His win/loss record is not one of an elite quarterback.

  8. Duke is 80% of Baker. Really? 😢 I guess if everything you argue is arbitrary and unquantifiable, you can't be wrong? And stick to football stories! Omar is clearly hurting from his wife leaving him? I'd give him a pass but he's always been this way.

  9. The reason we don’t see much from other players could be a player decision thing. I know not everyone wants to feature their family to the public so it could be the reason we don’t see much of them.

  10. Christian needs to chill out in the locker room. Bad enough crashing into Dan Marino, who’s already taken enough hits from DT’s, but Mr. Ross? We need him. Best check signer in the biz!

  11. I lived in Deltona and Daytona Beach was my destination until I found New Smyrna Beach. It is just below Daytona Beach and I think it has a history of a high amount of shark incidents too. If you like less of a commercialized beach then New Smyrna is the place to go. You can drive on the beach there too. Never saw the area showed where Heem lived though.

  12. 16:27… Freudian Slip?
    Poop you never believed in Tua. Like the rest, you are still hoping for vindication for your initial disparaging statements on him

  13. You can delete my comments. I however will no longer comment when the hosts irk me. I simply will stop watching the episode, and move on to something else. But Tua has won both games he APPEARED in whether he started or not against the Ravens. FACT.

  14. Stubbornness get you nowhere
    Tua has one without Hill
    Many Time
    You Can’t catch the ball if it’s not there
    Do you really believe
    If Hill was playing a game with one on Tua Backups on the team that they would win without Tua Arm ???

  15. To be considered an elite qb, one has to have the stats and the wins. "Bad" qbs don't get wins consistently. And the stats show some sort of participation in the wins. An example year would be the Dilfer Ravens (very average qb with a great defense, but did not have career stats.). The McMann Bears, that had the same sort of circumstances as Dilfer. Heck McMann may even have been a worse career qb. Marino had a lot of wins and stats (no Superbowl win), which means elite qb.

  16. Omar gay ass always have a lot of negativity towards Flores but want address it to his face weak sauce

  17. Name a team in the league that ACTUALLY has someone who can spy Lamar… Brandon Jones should spy.

  18. Gase and Philbin had finese offenses (with exception to the one year of the unicorns). This offense has a nice blend, but Alain is mostly right because finese teams struggle with short yardage conversions. Give me Detroit's OLine any day to show some muscles.

  19. Omar's facial expressions are priceless. I really enjoy the interactions between Omar and Poupart. Thank you for the podcast guys. !
    😀

  20. This hardknocks episode should of covered the kicker in my opinion. He’s the reason we won, three 50+ yard field goals in one game 🤯

  21. The spy is Duke Riley 100%. In the previous matchup with the Ravens, we were getting torched and attempted to rotate out multiple LBs until we settled on Duke Riley. He shut Lamar down and we ended up winning the game.

  22. If that segment before the 3rd down play was not elite, I don't know what else he needs to do, besides his play on the field, talking McDaniel into the play and then telling everybody not to look at Tyreek was high level.

  23. I love Hill and if he hits 2k he needs to be MVP…..Having said that we all saw what this team looked like last year without Tua. If he plays well and he gets us to the number 1 seed i think you'd have to consider him as MVP

  24. This is getting insane that show after show we have to spend it hearing an average journalist that hasn't played football, diminish Tua's accomplishments repeatedly. Poupart has created this invisible group of enemies that supposedly don't ever see Tua's flaws, so he uses that as his excuse to keep bashing the guy time and time again. As critical as Poup is, maybe he should look within himself and first become number one at his own occupation before constantly insulting someone else at there's.
