Transcript

00:00Lee Roy, what are the chances you give the Miami Dolphins of making the playoffs?

00:09Well, if I were to give you a I guess various answers would you say

00:16More or less than 20%

00:21Less

00:22Less than 20% chance. That's rough

00:25That too many too many variables

00:28Yeah, I mean look that's what happens when you know, it's no longer in your hands, here's the other thing

00:36Why are we just assuming that the Dolphins and going to win

00:40I'm not

00:41If they go to Cleveland and lose and Myles Garrett has you know, one of these miles

00:48It don't even matter because if Myles Garrett has one of those games the final score might be 6-3

00:54Yeah, for sure

00:55No hundred percent, but you know, obviously

00:59Offensive line. I know we had a good rotation last week at the guard position. You have a rotation is the crazy part

01:05Yeah, you don't want to be talking about rotation two weeks before they talk about a basketball team

01:11You ain't talking about putting Kalel wear in for for BAM

01:15Offensive lines don't operate like that

01:18Yeah, it's not good. It's not good. Of course

01:21But here yeah, I will say this the Miami Dolphins are better

01:29Than the Cleveland Browns

01:31They are yeah and

01:35The most important positions

01:39They have more stability and are better

01:43at running back and at quarterback and

01:47at wide receiver

01:49Right, yeah, I trust and

01:53And here's where it gets tricky I

01:58Believe that the Miami Dolphins defense will have an easier job

02:05Containing that offense than the Cleveland Browns will containing this offense

02:12Yeah, I uh, and it all has to do with the things I talked about before

02:19You know, I saw something that was interesting, you know, I know it's obviously late in

02:25The season and there's a chance to Miami Dolphins season may be over in two weeks

02:29So I don't think there's a chance he would have come here anyway

02:34But did you see the news my friend that Teddy Bridgewater is coming out of retirement?

02:40Bridgewater is coming out of retirement to sign with the Lions. Yeah

02:45We talked about it

02:48Could you imagine now that's it that's a Netflix movie if I ever saw one, right? Yeah

02:55high school coach coaches team to

02:58his alma mater

03:02State championship and then go win the Super Bowl in

03:05In

03:07In Detroit in Detroit after after you know people

03:13wrote him off said he'd never return never come back at all and

03:17He has an opportunity to have

03:19One of the greatest stories of all time and could have happened to a better human based off. You know, he's a good dude

03:25Really good, dude

03:28That's cool, it's unfortunate

03:31Because he was at the peak of his powers

03:34Before he had that serious knee injury. No, it was bad. It was definitely bad

03:41Leroy talking about Sunday's game

03:44Do you think the weather, you know, the Miami Dolphins all year have been trying to fight that cold weather stigma

03:50It's not gonna be freezing cold. Luckily for them

03:55It's not see 50. I would say all the way up until

04:00Maybe 40 45 is great football weather. You can run all day

04:07That's not the issue

04:09The issue is the rain and usually when you have 50 degrees rain, you're gonna have some wind

04:16it's just gonna be a

04:19miserable North

04:22Northern day usually this time of year that snow

04:26It's a little bit weird that it's rain

04:29I've played in games. How about this? I

04:33Played in games where it started off

04:3650s and raining and

04:38ended up

04:4030s and snowing

04:42So to feel

04:44Started getting slippery and getting hard

04:48So the game right?

04:51I'm going in a halftime and and you know it because they have Lake Lake effect snow

04:57all

04:58where the

05:00Basically the same thing as you know, the clouds blowing off the eastern coast with the moisture

05:07what that happens over, you know, Lake Erie and

05:12We'd be in that halftime and it'd be sunny and all of a sudden you hear the sound of the rain

05:18In that halftime, it'd be sunny and all of a sudden you hear the fans going crazy

05:23Snowing you come back out and there's a sheet of snow on the field

05:29So yeah, it's it's it's crazy weather

05:33I would say the concern would be more towards the wet and not the cold

05:40Well

05:41based off a lot of what you're telling me a

05:46Lot of the passing game should probably be

05:52Affected by the rain, but I

05:55Don't know how comfortable I am because you know, Miami does a lot of these at the line

06:01Kind of throws, you know swing running back a screen pass to John New Smith

06:06These are a lot of like behind the line kind of plays

06:08I feel like in you know, whether like this we're kind of susceptible to a fumble behind the line kind of vibe

06:16do you think that not necessarily because of the cold but more because of the

06:21Combination of the wet and the cold that Mike McDaniel will probably try to switch things up this week. Here's what I would say

06:29When you play most of your offense out of shotgun

06:33Yeah, you're putting yourself more in harm's way. You're adding a variable

06:39to it

06:40That could create some problems it's not like, you know, you periodically use a shotgun but most of the time you're on the center

06:48that's why you notice a

06:51lot of

06:53quarterbacks that play up north

06:56Play on the center

06:58Because you're trying to avoid

07:01You know those

07:03Incidents or whatever that you're talking about slippery ball ball rolls out

07:08Squeeze it too hard snap it high

07:11ball slingshot quarterback hand

07:14How many fumbles that we have this year like or snap interactions that we have this year that's happened a lot in football in general

07:22Right, like you've seen quarterbacks almost every week

07:27You know who?

07:29Wasn't ready, right?

07:32Uh

07:33When the only difference is like it happened, I want to say it happened last week

07:37I watched the game it happened, but it hit him right in the belly

07:40So he was able to catch it

07:43whereas when Tua

07:46Gets one of those it's a Rocket Man

07:50Right, yeah for sure. I mean he is

07:54didn't necessarily paint himself in the best light when he called himself shortstop, but I

08:00I don't know. There's there's just been

08:03questionable activity with the ball a lot of willy-nilly

08:07Activity I'd say and you know, I'm not necessarily worried as much as I am

08:12Here's what you don't want cold, but the wet and cold

08:16especially

08:18in a game like this

08:20Yeah, right

08:22when

08:24you are in a better situation than the Cleveland Browns and

08:28As far as key positions on the field and things of that nature

08:36What you don't want is

08:39You do not want to give

08:44free

08:46Possessions

08:49You see what I mean that means that you don't want to head give them

08:54Six possessions and then give them two more because you turn the ball over

08:58and and so if you can just not turn the ball over in

09:05most cases

09:07The team with the most talent will kind of pull it out in the end

09:12But if you don't win the turnover battle

09:15You're just asking for trouble you putting yourself in harm's way even more

09:21so yeah, I don't know how I

09:24Don't know how

09:26Mike McDaniel will deal with this. I know that

09:33Any time we had bad weather games up north quarterback would always be on the center

09:39and that's not something that

09:42the Dolphins really

09:44Rarely do they don't really do it. Yes. There's one way of securing the football and now I've seen like we even have problems with that

09:53I've even like yeah, you roll it every now and then

09:57Nothing's worse than when the quarterback get the old Kris Kringle

10:00he ain't ready for it, so his hands are just like limp and

10:04like

10:05Yeah, is it called the Kris Kringle? That's what I call it

10:11You know like your fingers do like Kringle potato chips

10:15Is it Chris like neck? Are you a critical french fries?

10:20Kringle
