00:00I'll get one more call.

00:01Christian, what's going on, dude?

00:06What's that?

00:07Is that a baby or a parrot?

00:09Hello?

00:10Hey, buddy.

00:11Hi.

00:12How's it going?

00:14Yeah, I'm just watching my, my baby girl right now.

00:17Good Papa.

00:17All right.

00:18What's going on, buddy?

00:20Not much.

00:20First of all, I think the worst part of mistake was that we stopped biting

00:26kneecaps.

00:27Oh, that's right.

00:29It wasn't the last five years, but he's right.

00:31And the man Campbell.

00:32Yeah, but you know what?

00:33Longer than five years ago, but I understand.

00:35I'll allow it.

00:36I'll allow it.

00:36No, but when he came, when he started doing that and talking like that,

00:41nobody took him serious.

00:43The first two weeks we did.

00:44Right, but you know what I'm saying?

00:46The first two weeks.

00:46Like nobody thought, but here's the other thing, is that you do realize

00:53if we had stayed with Dan Campbell and went through the same process, he

00:58went through in Detroit, you would have already ran him out of town here.

01:05Um, yes, I don't know.

01:07I mean, like he's been, because it kind of crosses over to the Flores

01:10era too.

01:11So it's a little bit weird, but it took, it took, they have a winning

01:16record last year.

01:17Yes.

01:17They had a winning record last year.

01:18The Lions, the NFC championship.

01:21There was a championship.

01:22The year they turned around was McDaniel's first year here.

01:25They were, the Dolphins beat them in Detroit and they were kind of like,

01:28they had a bad year and year.

01:30Great year.

01:31Great year.

01:32Right.

01:32So you're talking year three, year three.

01:35All right.

01:37You think, I don't know.

01:38Like, but we just like, I don't know if the fan base will ever be that

01:47patient to go through something like that.

01:52Right.

01:52I don't know that.

01:54The weird thing about it is it feels like when the Dolphins have hired

01:57coaches, they fire the, first of all, they hire first year coaches.

02:01That's that's, that's Steven Ross's thing.

02:02He doesn't hire guys with experience.

02:04Right.

02:05They always start off like their first year is always the best, which is

02:09crazy.

02:09Right.

02:10Thing about it.

02:10Which does that mean you probably shouldn't have got rid of the guy

02:13beforehand?

02:13I don't know.

02:14Right.

02:15I don't know.

02:15You shouldn't have got rid of it.

02:16Except for floor.

02:17Obviously Flores, you know, had the, had the terrible year.

02:21I mean, those first two weeks of Florida, we were talking about, is this

02:23the worst team we've ever seen?

02:24And then, you know, they had a, they, they were good the next year.

02:27They were better.

02:27So Flores kind of had the growth and I think typically how you're supposed

02:31to do it.

02:31Right.

02:32That's the press.

02:32But like we all, we all have to kind of be patient with it to some level.

02:42Right.

02:43Because like, it doesn't just, are we being unrealistic with what we expect

02:48these coaches to come in and do right away?

02:50Yeah, probably.

02:51Okay.

02:51Probably.

02:52All right.

02:52Probably.

02:54I would agree with that because I could say that, like, let's, let's be

02:59clear.

03:00If you don't want Mike McDaniel here and you want somebody else, you're

03:09already committing yourself to a two-year turnaround where they switch

03:13from the offense and the defense that they have to a more physical, um,

03:21offense and defensive line where they try to build the front seven.

03:26I can tell you a guy was a spoiled brat with, and I was a bastard with

03:29Paul Maurice.

03:31Oh yeah.

03:32You, I was a bastard with him.

03:33I was, I was, I was a stupid boy.

03:35And I thought that this guy's Obama is the most losses in NHL history.

03:39And I can't believe we hired this guy.

03:41We should have just kept the guy who got the DUI on the cart.

03:44And first of all, wait, can I just say this?

03:48This is not, and I'm not taking driving under the influence lightly.

03:53Well, it was dismissed.

03:55How, how serious can you take somebody driving drunk in a golf?

03:57It didn't happen yet.

03:58Cause he said he used to coach the Panthers.

03:59So at the time I didn't know that he was a willy nilly golf cart driver.

04:03And then second of all, have you been to a golf?

04:06Have you been to a golf course when there's a tournament and free

04:09liquor on the golf course?

04:11Wow.

04:13Dangerous.

04:14But I, I didn't realize it.

04:16And now the Panthers are the toughest team in the league.

04:19Like they are kneecaps.

04:20They are essentially hockey biting your kneecaps.

04:23Nobody can play them with their head straight.

04:24But you did the same thing.

04:26I have questions about.

04:28Right.

04:29And I said it to you then.

04:31Hey,

04:33be a little more patient.

04:34He's got to turn everything around from how he wants it to the, from the

04:38way it was, he went from being Mike McDaniel to Dan Campbell.

04:43Yeah.

04:43Or he was trying to change Mike McDaniel.

04:45He was trying to get the McDaniel out of us.

04:47Right.

04:48And you called him a bum.

04:51That's strong.

04:52I didn't call him a bum.

04:53And I, and I, and I said, I was sorry to him and I love him.

04:56Okay.

04:56You know, sometimes I do go over the rails.

04:59Overall point is this.

05:03Should we be more patient with this after seeing something like what Paul

05:07Maurice has done?

05:10I mean, I think the thing that concerns you with the Dolphins is with

05:13Mike McDaniel.

05:14It kind of just feels like it's getting more rickety.

05:16Doesn't it?

05:17No.

05:17Well, but, but here's what I'll tell you.

05:18The problem is with Mike McDaniel.

05:21And the problem with the Dolphins is right now throughout the history of

05:25football, right?

05:27When you look at all the successful teams, I don't care how many points

05:30they score.

05:32I don't care, whatever.

05:34If you look at success, it all starts with the offensive defense of the

05:38mind.

05:39And they tried to do it and be the anomaly.

05:43And it doesn't work.

05:44It doesn't work.

05:46What do you know?

05:47I anticipated this question.

05:51That doesn't help.

05:54But you see what I mean?

05:55Like, so like you are building a football team to be an anomaly.

06:02And what all these other teams are proving to you in the Philadelphia

06:09teams, in the Detroit teams, in the Green Bay, in Baltimore, and all these

06:22teams are showing you is that, yeah, you can have the flash at quarterback

06:27and you can have the stars on the outside, but it's built in the

06:30trenches.

06:32And all those teams have been able to be consistent while working on all

06:35that other stuff.

06:37The Dolphins cannot do that.

06:40They have to be excellent all the time because you don't have the time

06:45or the protection thing to wait it out.

06:48The thing that's crazy, though, is you've always said offensive lines

06:50take a little bit on chemistry.

06:51So the thing is like, how long is this going to like, let's just say

06:54everybody, let's say everybody stays here, right?

06:56No, but how long for the Dolphins to turn that line around?

07:00Because you're talking about Jackson will be back.

07:03Paul be your left tackle.

07:04Most likely going to keep the center Ambrose.

07:07So like if you're going to infiltrate two new guards, do we feel like

07:09this is something that can get fixed in a year?

07:11Here's the problem for real.

07:13Here's the problem.

07:15How many different offensive offensive line combinations they've had

07:19in the last two years.

07:21So before we even go to any of these places, you need healthy guys.

07:27You need helping Armstead.

07:29So like in this not a knock on his talent, but at some point you got

07:33to move on just so you can get some consistency.

07:36Yeah, he's got to retire this year.

07:37Look at how many different centers, how many different guards, how

07:41many different tackles you've had in this front offensive line.

07:45I said to you.

07:48Continuity is the most important thing, not necessarily the talent

07:52of each individual.

07:53Yeah, but they got to get rid of it.

07:55Okay, let's stand for that.

07:57You can say that.

07:59Or play him at one damn position.

08:01He has this year.

08:03He still sucks.

08:04Let me tell you something.

08:05I like, let me tell you the last time I had a big hug like that was

08:10the last time I saw mama because that dude hugs everybody.

08:14So when your mom comes to be like, yeah, listen, look, the first

08:20thing he does is with the crap clampers on them.

08:22Like it seems like the first thing he does is bear hug.

08:26It seems to be the first thing he does on every drive is anger

08:28somebody because he's always getting a personal foul drawn on

08:31somebody.

08:31Now it got offset this last time around, but and then it's hugs

08:36McGee, right?

08:37Because I'm pretty sure the Texas line was like, so it's like

08:41because he is always like, you know, rule number one offensive

08:46line is hands inside.

08:52First blocking with hands inside, right?

08:56The first thing he does is put crab clinchers on.

09:00Like he looks like he's playing, you know, you go to the video

09:02place and you have a little game that reaches down and pick up

09:05the stuff.

09:06Yeah, the cloth that I can burn.

09:09Like we could just hang.

09:09I can burn from a stick.

09:10He grabbed all the toys like that's what it does.

09:16Watch, watch.

09:17I can burn the guy rule number one of offensive line hands inside.

09:23I saw one where he like he like put one hand on a guy and then

09:26decide not to hold and just let problems.

09:29What about the old choco?

09:31We ain't crab together.
