00:00
The Dolphins, meanwhile, one o'clock on Sunday against Indianapolis,
00:05
who's a three point favorite.
00:06
They are starting Anthony Richardson,
00:09
who is not very experienced. I mean, it's kind of crazy.
00:11
I was like, oh, yeah, he only played four games last year.
00:13
He's only got as he played a full season yet.
00:15
No, he's only played. This is his ninth game.
00:18
Right. In nine years, not even two years, two years, two years.
00:23
Yeah. I mean, I gave him two years.
00:25
They'd be already ready to retire.
00:27
I mean, that is the interesting thing about it, though, right?
00:29
Like because you were mentioning about Joe Flacco's efficiencies was seven
00:33
touchdowns, one pick.
00:34
This guy's six and six already this season. Right.
00:37
You know, so he is he's also going to give you some ideas.
00:41
The Dolphins haven't been very good at turning over the football.
00:45
This is a guy who's going to think maybe give him some chances.
00:48
Except all I have etched in my head.
00:52
Is that 60 yard flick into the air?
00:56
Oh, yeah. Effortless hitting the guy on the fly.
01:00
And I'm like, holy smokes.
01:04
Oh, yeah. He's losing.
01:06
There's there's there's talent in there, but it does feel raw, you know?
01:10
And they said that when he came out.
01:12
So the problem is, is that he's got to get reps under his belt.
01:17
So let's hope that he's still not ready.
01:20
It's also one of these things, too, where unfortunately for the Dolphins,
01:24
they're in this spot right now where.
01:28
They're kind of the slump buster, and if you look at the cold schedule
01:31
coming up, it's really rough, so they're going to bring him back
01:35
like they're probably thinking themselves.
01:37
So this is better this than Houston and Minnesota.
01:40
You want to you want to bring it back against the Brian?
01:42
That was a two and three.
01:44
Yeah. The Jets are two or four. Yes.
01:49
The Browns are one and five.
01:51
Yep. The Saints are two and five.
01:55
How the hell are the Dolphins a slump buster?
01:57
I'm explaining to you, if you look at the cold schedule coming up,
02:00
you're going to bring back the easiest of their schedule.
02:05
Yeah, the easiest. OK.
02:07
No, I'm saying if the Dolphins are like the Dolphins are being looked at
02:11
as the soft open for bringing back the young kid instead of
02:16
do we do it against Houston, D'Amico Ryan?
02:18
Do we do it against Brian Flores in a couple of weeks?
02:20
Like, that's probably a disaster.
02:22
Because, look, I love Joe Flacco.
02:24
It's a great story.
02:25
Eventually, he's going to Flacco and he's going to have a three interception game.
02:28
Oh, he's going to he's going to do it.
02:30
And then you're going to say, you're not right.
02:33
So they got basically what they did was they said, look,
02:37
Joe, we appreciate what you've done.
02:41
You've been awesome.
02:43
But, you know, you know, you know, that's that's it, dude.
02:48
Like, like, yeah.
02:49
And the thing is, is that if he has a whole season.
02:54
Then it all washes out, right?
02:57
But he's he's coming in as he's coming in as a reliever.
03:01
You know what I'm saying?
03:01
He coming in as a reliever.
03:03
You got to be good right away for stretches of time.
03:06
We don't we can't afford for you to go flack on us.
03:09
Look, if you we're going to see if the Dolphins can get to where they're at.
03:13
But like the odds of like they prepared for this.
03:15
We know we had a quarterback who got banged up last year.
03:18
We're paying Joe Flacco to come in there after what he did last year.
03:21
Dolphins, they thought Skylar Thompson was the answer.
03:23
He was not.
03:24
Well, and think about this.
03:26
The Browns, they were like the Browns fans are like, why didn't we keep Flacco?
03:31
Yeah.
03:32
Seriously, why didn't they keep Flacco?
03:36
Why didn't they keep Flacco?
03:38
Because right now he'd be
03:40
because right now he'd be the starter.
03:42
That's why.
03:44
Such an odd thing.
03:46
Very like we watch sports.
03:50
And sometimes we see situations and you look at those situations and go,
03:55
this has nothing to do with winning.
03:57
Yeah. And it sucks if you're a fan.
04:00
It sucks if you're watching it, because you like
04:03
there's nothing they can tell me that says this is about winning like.
04:09
Even if you're confused about what the Steelers are doing.
04:13
As far as fields and and Mr.
04:16
Unlimited, Russell, even if you're confused about that.
04:23
If they were to make the decision to go back to Russell Wilson.
04:27
Right. You would at least say, OK, well, they see something.
04:32
And and I mean.
04:35
My man said, geez, you know what he said?
04:38
Fields. Yeah. Yeah.
04:40
Yeah. Yeah.
04:41
It goes. If they're considering it, I haven't been good enough.
04:45
I thought it was a very mature quote.
04:48
It was. But damn right.
04:52
Like, come on.
04:54
Could you imagine?
04:55
Russ, Russ isn't going to have that that awareness.
04:57
He'd be like, got this.
04:59
They're like, you know, crazy.
05:01
That is that you take your team.
05:03
He started all year, right? Four and two. Yeah.
05:07
But also understand Pittsburgh.
05:10
They've had winning records.
05:13
With some bums, of course.
05:15
So they would be in the best position to identify
05:20
if he's maximizing what that offense can do.
05:24
Right. He says Tobin doesn't know what a mature quote sounds like.
05:28
It was mature.
05:32
It was as you and Tommy yell at the TV.
05:35
White ice.
05:40
Yeah, you'll be there with baby tadpole frog boy.
05:44
Don't judge me.
05:45
I honestly can't wait.
05:47
But your level of maturity to me was perfectly defined.
05:52
What would you say, Anthony Weaver, his description of Anthony
05:56
Richardson's arm was a real chooch and piss whistle.
06:00
Yeah, I knew who I was dealing with.
06:05
Oh, my God.
06:07
Like, it is not a secret.
06:09
He did not say that, like, we know.
06:15
Oh, man. So I just need like, it would be nice, though,
06:19
that Alvin's like, you know, like Chopra Robinson, get this guy down,
06:22
like first try to get away hard off.
06:24
And I look, I'm not saying it can't happen.
06:29
But let me ask you a question.
06:33
We know who he is and has been not saying he can't get better.
06:37
OK, just like when Ted Ginn got here, we knew who Ted Ginn was.
06:42
Why do we all of a sudden get upset
06:47
when they don't become what we want them to become?
06:52
Well, the thing that's upsetting for him is not, you know, it's not his fault.
06:57
Is this that everybody around him, all the passwords are dropping like flies.
07:00
So then it feels like, hey, we need something.
07:03
He's going to pick what you're going to do.
07:05
Well, and again.
07:09
His level of growth.
07:12
Is his level of growth
07:15
because of the situation of the Dolphins,
07:18
we're looking at him and say, no, no, no, you're on our clock.
07:23
Pretty much, I'm just saying, why, why, why is that we do that in sports
07:28
all the time, so if a quarterback, if they say, hey, this quarterback
07:32
is going to come in, we're going to develop him for a year.
07:35
And then he'll be ready, like maybe
07:38
like the way they did with Jordan and.
07:41
And Green Bay, Jordan Love, and
07:44
they were able to wait this thing out, and then he was able to step in.
07:48
If Aaron Rodgers would have got hurt.
07:51
You would throw him in and expect him, oh, he's a first rounder
07:54
to be the quarterback he is now.
07:56
Well, I think the thing that was interesting is just like.
08:00
I think the philosophy was strange because it did feel like the Dolphins,
08:04
you know, went at this with their first two picks and was like, all right.
08:10
We take a pass rusher.
08:11
None of our passers are really healthy.
08:13
And we're going to take a left.
08:16
And we're going to take a left tackle.
08:18
He's not going to stay healthy.
08:19
And I don't know if it did if you don't think they're ready to go
08:23
because they're both their measurables are off the charts.
08:26
They're all really talented guys.
08:27
They both said raw like they need some development.
08:30
And you're not going to get that time with durable starters.
08:33
That's not the position with when you need assistance right away.
08:37
Right. So this would have been great.
08:40
And this would have been a perfect move.
08:43
If I do one other move.
08:45
Keep Van Ginkx.
08:46
Oh, you understand what I'm saying?
08:49
Yes. Yes. Keep him and then draft chop.
08:53
Right now, you at least have a nice rotation or what have you.
08:59
As far as the offensive line, I told you
09:03
I thought.
09:05
That they would put Paul
09:07
somewhere on the offensive line if he's one of the best, they didn't.
09:11
They just have him ready to play left tackle.
09:13
Yep. And so from that standpoint, you have a lot of right tackles
09:17
who played left tackle in college.
09:19
A lot of them because they don't maybe they can block,
09:23
but they don't have the feet or the reach that a left tackle has.
09:27
So I always thought he would.
09:30
So I was OK with that.
09:32
The fact that he's on the side.
09:38
I don't know how to, you know,
09:40
I don't know how he in preseason, he seemed like one of the top five.
09:44
It's like I thought, like, dude, I thought this rookie class was
09:47
and I guess don't buy too much in the preseason, but I came off this preseason
09:51
was like, I am fired up about this rookie class.
09:54
And Jalen Wright had a nice performance last week, which was encouraging.
09:58
But that was like the first time you're like, oh, man,
10:01
finally, something from the rookie class like Storm
10:03
Duck was the number one contributor.
10:05
Well, is it supposed to?
10:06
But my question is, are you supposed to get it right away?
10:10
Well, I think with the Dolphins,
10:11
here's the thing is when you start getting into the spot
10:14
where you got to spend a lot of money on guys, you need to hit on.
10:18
You need to hit on somebody.
10:20
Yeah, but it is.
10:22
You know, you're basing this off of five games.
10:24
I understand. Right.
10:26
That's that's not over.
10:28
I know. That's my point.
10:30
That's my entire point is that.
10:33
After week one or week two.
10:36
Or the first month of the season, we're going, oh, terrible draft.
10:42
I'm like, really?
