00:00Cap for life says Dolphins again in the news not for the right reasons. Why not what no more excuses?

00:06What are they like because two is bringing a bold old stuff, although he didn't bring it up

00:14They asked him I don't know like I love the way people get on players

00:19for

00:21Responding to stuff or saying stuff about old stuff when he was asked a question

00:26And he was honest. Yeah

00:28You know, what do you want to do? Yeah flow is the greatest that would be a lie and then we call him a liar

00:35so

00:37You know

00:42Might be Daniel though did sidestep that question. I haven't seen him. He dodged he dodged that question

00:48Like crazy yesterday because the coaches don't want to say nothing negative about the coaches definitely not

00:54You never know

00:55But it's like it is it but you know, I really don't think it's anything new like

01:02It's new to the first take it all those guys, but it's nothing new to us

01:06It's one of those things where like you bring a bold dirt. It's a Tuesday. We're two weeks out from the NFL season

01:12you know if this is the season does this even make a story maybe a little bit but

01:17Now it's a now there's nothing going on other than QB to battles. So this is gonna this is gonna grab the headlines all week

01:24Who's the guy sitting next to

01:27Who's sitting next to two that's Chris Cody. Oh

01:32It was just awkwardly

01:35Like why is he there he's not gonna ask a question man, you just want to be close to Chris Cody did ask questions

01:40Oh, I

01:42Actually found you know what?

01:43I found more interesting the than the Brian Flores thing to be honest with you

01:46We knew the Brian Flores thing. I know too. I hate Brian Flores, right?

01:49You know what I actually found more fascinating that he admitted

01:52That they were actively gunning for 2,000 yards last year for Tyreek Hill

01:56Oh, I was like, you know, like you kind of knew it but I

02:01Think it's weird. It was interesting hearing the quarterback say it and then not only that

02:05But that he said that Jalen Waddle was cool with it

02:08Why not because I could see jail on who hadn't gotten paid yet being like hey, man

02:13He said that he's like I was worried about Jalen Waddle J Waddle said now

02:21And this is where this gets tricky right as

02:25a teammate

02:26You want your teammate to have all the success and glory that he can right?

02:33so if that was a goal a team goal to get Tyreek 2000 you are on board with it now if

02:42If the team then comes back to him and say hey your numbers are down we can't pay you

02:49That's where the problem comes. So he still got paid right? No, no problem

02:56But you see how that can be a problem because yeah

02:59No, it happens a lot with injuries Stefan digs like look

03:04He that that dude gets upset if you don't give him a certain amount of catches during a game like nuts

03:11No, I don't think everybody can handle that well

03:13so like it's a

03:14Jalen Waddle, but but I did find it surprising that two has said they were actively gunning for a record from the start of this

03:19Yeah, why not? Why not? Like like there's nothing wrong with they're on track to nothing wrong with having some fun with right?

03:27you're a good offensive team and

03:30Like yeah have some fun with it

03:34but I think

03:36It goes to show you, you know more importantly

03:40The team

03:42Construction and how they went about that. Mm-hmm, right because they still paid

03:48Waddle took care of him. Yep, right

03:51The dynamic of everybody else on that team that didn't have a problem with everybody trying to get to Rick is

03:59To who's gonna benefit from that?

04:02Right. And so yeah, like I think it's

04:07It's

04:08All around good indication of where they are as a team in the franchise. Do you think that they're gonna?

04:13They're not gonna try that again this year. No, that's why they got all these other guys in there

04:16So, okay, we had to run we you had to run

04:20Here's the problem and you can go to Tyreek and say this because now you have proof. Mm-hmm. We tried to get you 2,000

04:28At the end of the year you could barely run

04:30So we're gonna go about this a little different right because it's more important that we have Tyreek Hill in

04:36December January and and at the end of the year here was a

04:41two on the Levitard show with Chris Cody Stugats and Dan and

04:46Saying that they were going for 2000 last year

04:48I think we've um, I think we've all is like we've all established a good enough relationship

04:56to really to really know like

04:58Okay, like last year

05:01It we we were in a way really trying to help re get to that 200 or 2,000 yard mark

05:07I mean, it wasn't it wasn't like we were trying to hide that right that that was pretty obvious

05:11You know trying to feed him the ball and whatnot

05:14We all have a good enough relationship off the field to her

05:18Jalen can come up to me at any point even in the games and whatnot and tell me like like bro

05:23I'm not I'm not messing with this like you like I I need some some shine, too

05:28You know and I can go up to Mike and say hey like we need some more place for for X

05:33You know in in this drive or throughout this game and we like reek would be cool with that

05:40Well, the cool thing about it was like Jalen knew like we were we were trying to do that for reek

05:45And he wasn't really like he's like dude. I'm just here to support like awesome

05:50Whatever I can do like if I get the ball I'm making the best out of that opportunity and whatnot

05:55So like those guys, I mean, they're they they make it easy, but they're they they are tough

06:00That doesn't mean they're they're they're easy, you know

06:03To have conversations with because they they are unique in their own sense of personalities as well

06:09There you go to on the leviton show. Yeah, I think I think they have the

06:14perfect person

06:17Based on what he's been through

06:20to speak to other players because

06:23They all know what he went through his first two years

06:26So when he comes at them, he comes from a different place, right?

06:32And they've all seen his development. So when he comes at him, he comes, you know from a different place

06:38so he can have that conversation with Tyreek or Jalen water or

06:42You know other guys on the team and I think it's it's a great fit when you've seen somebody fight through

06:48The struggle right of of all the stuff

06:52There's I like players when you turn on the TV and you see what's being said about your teammate, right?

06:58First of all, you want to go out there and play for him because if it's not accurate you want to show that it's not

07:03Accurate. Mm-hmm, and I think for the most part everybody says to is a good guy

07:08and he

07:10He seemed he defends his players

07:13Right and in like yeah, it just seems like it's a good dynamic and especially when how last year ended

07:21You know for everybody nobody said nothing

07:24Nobody, you know man that happens on a lot of teams somebody getting called out in public

07:29Yeah, for sure, especially with a wire. There was one quarterback relationship. There was like one game

07:35Which one was you remember what it was Marcos?

07:37There was one game where Tyreek got hurt in the middle of the game, right?

07:41But did like one of those Tyreeks where he was gonna come back and the entire next drive was just for Jalen Waddle

07:46And he balled out and he had to be thinking yourself. Yeah

07:50We're doing this enough, you know spread this around like it did feel like they way

07:54Yeah, cuz I it didn't feel like that in year one. It felt more even I think we're in it

07:59I think this seems in a different place now, though

08:02Right, like what because if that's the case why bring in John new Smith? Yeah, right and and so you've added

08:10a

08:11Different dynamic to your offense. Now, what it's gonna do is when you have all these other

08:17weapons

08:19Tyreek, I have less catches, but I might have more production if that's even possible

08:23Right, so that means each of his catches are gonna have a little more bang for their buck

08:27Mm-hmm, and I think that's the thing you you know Tyreek catching a three-yard out

08:33Like yeah, while that's great and you're setting the tone for the rest of the game

08:37That's not his thing. I know one thing Wow, if he does break the record

08:41Yeah, don't have that auctioneer from his galah trying to talk to us. Hey

08:45dude

08:47Let me tell you

08:49But I don't think we should I can't sit up top

08:53Cuz I have access to many people

08:55Right, cuz while Tobin was trying to be on a serious. I'm in his ear

09:00Tobes look to your left

09:03Do you got a fishnet shirt on?

09:07Those are

09:11Good though. Hey see, there you go

09:15Yeah, like everybody takes what I'm saying as being negative

09:20I was saying negative dude has a fishnet shirt on is not

09:25I was I was spit out facts. Oh, no, but

09:30So

09:32If we do like saying J thinks office green

09:36But but wait

09:38Here's the funny missing a leg Tobin tried to include me only one time
