00:00Big adjustment with Skylar Thompson, and I think you laid out a perfect case yesterday.

00:07Why are you betting anything Dolphins related until further notice?

00:11Why are you betting Tyreek Hill to win the offensive player of the year?

00:15Why are you betting the Dolphins to win the division?

00:17Why are you betting anything long-term Dolphins related?

00:21Could they go into Seattle and win?

00:23Of course.

00:24Could Tyreek Hill have a big game?

00:26Maybe.

00:27But I watched a lot of Skylar Thompson the last couple of years, and it doesn't get me

00:34excited to bet them.

00:36And here's the crazy part that people don't want to say out loud.

00:39Let's say Tua comes back in a month, which he could.

00:42Sounds like he could.

00:43Six weeks.

00:44Whatever.

00:45You think teams are going to take it easy on Tua?

00:47You think big defensive ends are going to, oh, let me not hit him too hard.

00:53This is a football game.

00:55And if you are out there, you are putting yourself at risk to anything that happens

00:59on the field.

01:01And we have seen this movie before with Tua.

01:03He comes back early, they rattle his cage, he goes back out.

01:08So look, I wish him the best.

01:10I hope he stays healthy.

01:11I wish his family all the success in the world.

01:14But to think that he can just come back in a month and other teams with 285, 305-pound

01:21edge guys, they're going to take it easy on little Tua?

01:25No shot.

01:26If anything, he's got the bullseye right on his helmet.

01:29He's got the green dot on the back of the helmet, and he's got a bullseye right on his

01:33eyes.

01:34So if he wants that, if he's willing to take that on, good for him.

01:39He's got more balls than I do, because my little fancy ass would be, I'd be in bed sleeping.

01:44I would not be on the football field after I got my eyes rolled back my head a month

01:49prior.

01:50These guys are different.

01:53Some of them have issues long after their career because of their dumb decisions on

01:57the field.

01:59I just, I don't want to watch that first game he comes back and see him laying on the ground

02:04again when he can't feel his hands.

02:05I do not want to see that.

02:07So let's just pray that that does not happen.

02:10But to think that it's not possible is just silly.
