Tobin and Leroy react to Mike McDaniel's flat out lie that Tua is not the team's savior.

Transcript

00:00Uh, the dolphins from Barry Jackson, he tweets out with barriers, Braxton burials

00:04loss for the year, the dolphins were scheduled to work out some receivers

00:07today.

00:08Um, he says they have a few options.

00:11Sign a new guy to the 53, sign a new guy to the practice squad and promote

00:15the Eskridge who he says has return abilities or Eric as a comma.

00:20Uh, they could also elevate that scourge.

00:22He has one elevation left to the 53 man, so they could do that.

00:27And apparently if they do that, he, uh, they, they would only have to clear

00:30one roster spot for two, who's obviously going to come back from

00:33concussion protocol this week.

00:34So the, basically the practice squad is like 10 day.

00:40Yeah.

00:40But I think you only get so many promotions.

00:42Yeah.

00:42Like a two way.

00:43It's like a two way, two way.

00:45Yeah.

00:45It's like a two way.

00:46So that's a, that's something to keep an eye on what the

00:49dolphins are going to do there.

00:50Yeah.

00:51As you come is always so good in the preseason.

00:53I can't believe he stinks.

00:55Yeah, it is.

00:56You know what?

00:58It's a different, the hardest thing to do is get comfortable playing football,

01:06regardless of what the circumstances are.

01:09Right.

01:10Like teams look at it as I've seen you do this, but sometimes

01:18the players not thinking that you can't like, it may be the biggest

01:23and best opportunity you may ever get.

01:26You're only going to fail when you start thinking of it like that.

01:29You got to think of it as just, I'm going to play football.

01:32And, and so a lot of guys get, when I hear guys with interviews and

01:37they talk about how big it is, and this is huge and this is that, and

01:41this no dude, to you, it's a football game, the circumstances in which you

01:46perform are always going to be the same.

01:48You go in the field, you try to perform.

01:51Right.

01:51So like, and don't worry about the outcome.

01:54The younger players tend to worry about the outcome more than the process.

02:00Well, speaking of receivers Tua and the non-concussion category did talk a

02:06little bit about the football team.

02:08And he was asked about the idea of the team really struggling to get the ball

02:13to Tyree kill and Jaylon Waddle in his absence, here's what Tua had to say

02:18about that.

02:19Listen, I think it's really tough to ask any of our quarterbacks to come in, to

02:24do the footwork that we've been doing for the past two years to see fast guys

02:31running and seeing the space that's there and asking them to kind of process all

02:37of that.

02:38We, we, we looked at film, we were able to see what we missed and what we could

02:44have got better with, but it's, it's a team sport.

02:47It shouldn't take one position for this whole thing to, to, to crumble.

02:51It, everybody needs to be on their, their P's and Q's as well.

02:56I mean, I don't know, Tua, I mean, that's, that's, that's nice of you to say

02:59about the quarterbacks, but like, I get it, you know, it is a team sport.

03:06We always put way too much into the quarterbacks, but if those

03:09quarterbacks are stinkers, my question is this as an offensive coordinator,

03:17if you have a guy that you've done all this stuff with, can't you simplify the,

03:23the, the, the route combinations for the next guy?

03:30So for example, you ever hear to say, Oh, they're going to give

03:33him a nice three level throw.

03:36You got a shallow cross, a mid cross and a deep post or a deep corner.

03:42Right?

03:43So you got one, two, three, they're right in front of you.

03:46You rolling out to the right, pick one.

03:49Like, why can't we, why couldn't we have done stuff like that?

03:55Like it's still like every receiver knows how to run a damn route tree.

04:02You going into a game and changing that route tree doesn't mean all of a sudden

04:07the damn wide receivers don't know how to run routes, you know, you got to try.

04:13Do you think it was so much as like, he really wanted them to be conservative?

04:20I do.

04:21Because again, to ask somebody else to come in, make decisions, the way to

04:29ahead to make decisions is unfair, not only to the team, but to those guys.

04:33So basically he tried to go into his playbook that kind of made breeds easier.

04:41They weren't those quick throws, but then you put your quarterback in trouble

04:46because now you're patting the ball back there.

04:48It is amazing how much, uh, a guy like Mike McDaniel, who were saying, you

04:52know, old wheelbarrow balls, you know, he would go for it no matter what

04:56he'd go for it on his own 20.

04:59Bad quarterback will make you get conservative quick.

05:01Is he, is he any different than any other coach?

05:04No, but that's what I'm saying.

05:05Like it changes you as a person, you know, it almost seemed like it broke

05:10Mike McDaniel as a man, not having to, he was like, dude, I'm shook.

05:16I'm broke.

05:17Yeah.

05:17I'm trying everything yet.

05:20He did tell the media that he told the team to, uh, is not our savior.

05:27Across the board.

05:28I think everyone would say that he's the leader of this team.

05:30So I think that's a powerful thing, um, that, you know, his, his,

05:35his team will appreciate.

05:37You know, I think it's important to, uh, to state and to, to, you know, the, what

05:43I just finished talking to the team about is that he's, um, he, he's not the savior

05:49either.

05:50Um, there's, there's a lot of things that have to be looked at from, uh, an

05:55individual's game and, uh, you know, all three phases, um, to get there, uh,

06:01because, you know, it's, I'm for it right now.

06:07Let me tell you something, you know, as much as I like Mike McDaniel and I

06:12support what he's trying to do.

06:13And I get the dilemma that he's been in the last few weeks.

06:16That's a lie.

06:18Why?

06:19That's a lie because I would tell you, like, tell you right now, they say tools

06:24coming back and everybody all around the city say,

06:31right.

06:32You got, wait, watch out, watch out, watch how fast, watch how fast these

06:37routes that waddle in, in Tyreek running now, uh, coach, uh, if he's not the

06:43savior, you think like some smart-ass player just goes, how could we just

06:47heard you cry tears of joy before the meeting?

06:54Uh, Mike, we just got the final clearance.

06:55He's good to go.

06:56Oh, thank you.

06:57Thank you, Jesus.

07:01As a coach, you're always going to say the, the, the, you're going to say

07:07the air, expose some words in your own way, but that's a lie.

07:14Okay.

07:14We knew that when the heat we're playing, we said we got enough.

07:19Who is, who is that?

07:20That's what we say.

07:21Who is that?

07:22Spo would say that when he had Henry Walker going out there on a 10 day,

07:26he goes, yeah, we have enough.

07:28So, so we get a, we get, we get what everybody's trying to do.

07:34And you would hope that you could have somebody to hold a Fort now, but let's

07:39be clear, there's certain positions on your football field, okay.

07:46That or on your team or in your organization that without

07:50them, you don't function.

07:52Did you see the damn Philadelphia Eagles or did you see the New York

07:56Giants without Saquon, man, you see what I mean is day and night.

08:02That's okay.

08:03You got that dude, but let's not, let's try to, we can just plug somebody.

08:09You ain't pay that man, 40, $50 million.

08:11Cause you can plug somebody else in a hundred percent.

08:13Like, look, there's a reason they've referred to him as highest paid

08:17employee before the season started.

08:18Like you can tell me he's not the savior.

08:20Fine.

08:21But why are you giving them all?

08:23He's your savior.

08:25There's a, Hey, we all know there's a reason why quarterback's the

08:28biggest line mover in the game.

08:29It is what it is.

08:30You know, I agree.

08:32He, it can't all be to a, but like, we've all very much noticed.

08:38Like, my God, it has been all.

08:41And by the way, it ain't like he's coming back against the Ravens, you know, like,

08:46let's go, let's go do like when the, when the rope brings on the breaks on the

08:50lawnmower, the lawnmower technically still works, but you can't use it.

08:56Don't start.
