00:00The Dolphins beat the Raiders 34-19, so the Dolphins showing signs of life the last couple

00:10of weeks to getting involved, a couple actually, to Jonu Smith, a long one this one on CBS.

00:16Smite the tight end in motion, Tugabai Lowe looking to the far side, he throws off his

00:21back leg, middle of the field, Jonu Smith wide open, he's trying to sprint his way toward

00:26the goal line, he's in, touchdown Dolphins, 57 yards.

00:36So this is the team, Cam, if you're looking for anyone on the outside looking in, and Denver has

00:41the last spot at 6-5 right now in the AFC, and Denver's playing obviously a great win for them

00:47yesterday, but Miami's 4-6, so they're one back in the loss, they play New England this week

00:53in hopes of getting themselves to 5-6. They have the type of schedule

00:58that could maybe get them back in, and it was starting with the Raiders last week,

01:03they play the Patriots, Packers, Jets, Texans, Niners, Browns, and Jets again,

01:09so they have two Jet games and a Patriot, and a Brown, you know, they have some games here, Cam,

01:15that they can maybe give themselves a chance, but they'll probably need some help

01:20with the Broncos and Colts losing a few games.

01:23Here's the deal, the Broncos have a game, and historically this would be like a real bad spot,

01:28they play the Raiders who are playing awful, but it's a divisional game, what are we looking at,

01:33four and a half, five points, this is the game, Denver, you can't take any, you know what I mean,

01:39like these are the games you have to win if you actually want to take that step to make the

01:43playoffs, it could be a speed bump this week, and I like what you said about Miami, these guys are

01:48playing way better football, and they should take care of business against New England, Carver.

01:52Well, you know what it is, Cam, they're a better team when Tua's playing,

01:57it's just it's not hard to see the difference, when the Dolphins were losing games early in

02:02the year, it's not that they don't have any talent, it's that they didn't have a backup

02:06quarterback, the drop-off from Tua to whatever stiff they ran out there after him, whether that

02:12was Tyler Huntley or Boyle or whoever else they were running in there, Skyler Thompson, you know,

02:19these guys are hacks, and the one thing about it is, Cam, and then I'll throw back, you know,

02:24Tua, when Tua plays, they'll beat the bad teams, like they did to the Raiders yesterday, like they'll

02:30do to the Patriots, because they're going to score enough points where the bad teams can't keep up.

02:34You're absolutely right, and another thing is, think about the fumbles that they had against

02:37the Colts, two fumbles inside the five-yard line, they were making major mental mistakes

02:41since Tua's back, they've been a lot more crisp.
