00:00Uh, this made the rounds during the, during the couple of days off.

00:03Oh, other than you.

00:07I don't like this dude.

00:08I really, I gotta be honest with you.

00:11I didn't do anything.

00:13I didn't do anything.

00:14And I don't like how you are an instigator.

00:17I don't like how you are, are burning this entire thing up, blowing it up in a

00:24situation where I'm not doing anything.

00:27I'm just sitting here.

00:29You guys sat here today.

00:30You're like, probably cause you gambled on it.

00:32And you sat here, you're like, thanks for showing up last night, Jimmy.

00:36And you would think he's tanking.

00:37And I don't think that's what he's doing.

00:38I think he's just, I didn't say that.

00:41Oh, what did you say then?

00:42What did you say?

00:42I mean, the line was set at 16.

00:45Jesus.

00:46I'm saying this.

00:51Everybody says, Jimmy's that dude pick a dude from another team.

00:58Right.

01:01Most dudes on the team.

01:02He's not most dudes though.

01:04I, you've watched him for six years.

01:05Why are you surprised by this?

01:07Um, he's never done this as much as he's done it this year.

01:12He hasn't, he hasn't disagree.

01:14I think he hasn't done the 25 minutes and five point thing.

01:18He's just, I'm telling you that you keep saying, so here's what you're telling me.

01:24That when he wants to, he can just, I'm just saying, he's finding his way, baby.

01:30Last night, weird game.

01:34He's going to find his way.

01:35Okay.

01:36But I'll get to back to Jimmy in a little bit.

01:37First, somebody saying there's murmurs about the dolphins.

01:45Yeah.

01:46It's not quite fodder and it's not rumblings and it's not rumors.

01:52Hmm.

01:53Or reports.

01:55But according to Albert Breer sports illustrated, well, he said that there

02:04have been at least murmurs of front office shuffling in Indianapolis and Miami.

02:14Made him a member of those are the murmurs was the murmurs dude, that the

02:19dolphins and the Colts, there's been murmurs about what front office shuffling.

02:29I like that.

02:29Could be, uh, you know, could be something, something could be nothing.

02:33Cause I don't know why they do that.

02:35I don't know how strong murmurs are.

02:37Like murmurs to me is like, uh, you know, but you know, I've been there a while.

02:47So here's what you think.

02:48Let me just put it out there.

02:51They're not going to fire Chris Greer.

02:53They're going to change his responsibilities.

02:55Ooh, that's what a murmur is.

02:59That's a murmur or a shakeup.

03:03Ooh, well, a shakeup, a shakeup would say he's out.

03:07Not necessarily.

03:09If he's been in an organization that long, what they'll say is they're going to.

03:15So Chris Greer becomes the general manager of F1.

03:18Okay.

03:21He's still going to be with the dolphins.

03:23Hmm.

03:23I don't know.

03:25I don't know.

03:27You don't think that even at the end, like Steven Ross is going to be sitting

03:31there with Garfinkel and he goes again, I'm sitting here and every guy that I

03:35paid is hurt at the end of this.

03:36This is Chris Greer.

03:38He doesn't, uh, I think he's talking to Chris Greer.

03:41You think he's telling them that he's like, Hey, you think Garfinkel

03:44is the guy he's talking to?

03:46Well, I think Garfinkel is a myth.

03:47I think Garfinkel is like the, the, the go between, you know, like, you know,

03:51Garfinkel, okay.

03:52Okay.

03:53I think, I don't know.

03:54See, I don't always believe the titles hold those positions, right?

04:03Because I mean, Chris Greer has been a long time.

04:09I know.

04:10So I know how long has Garfinkel been there?

04:16Less, less than that.

04:17So, but he's, he's, you know, he's, I mean, listen, he's built an empire for

04:23Steven Ross, you know, with the whole sports thing and he's made all the deals.

04:26He's, he's a hobnobber.

04:28He's a mover and shaker.

04:30All right.

04:31I'm just saying he might not be a football guy.

04:34Oh, he's not a football guy.

04:34I think he's just like, well, you know who sits in that booth, right?

04:40You know, you got, you got Steven Ross, right?

04:43You got Garfinkel and then you got Marino and you think they're all

04:47murmuring amongst each other and like, no, no, no, no.

04:55I don't, I don't think it, see, because it would only work like

05:01that if you want the damn job.

05:04Oh, you think so?

05:05You think if Dan was making moves, he goes, damn, what do you think

05:07about actually doing it this time?

05:08No, no, I'm not saying that.

05:10I'm saying that the, the powers that be that are sitting in that booth,

05:15talking to Steven Ross, right?

05:19You don't have a conversation like that with Steven Ross,

05:24unless you have an alternative.

05:27You understand what I'm saying?

05:29Yeah.

05:29But if you've had somebody there for a long time and you've kind

05:32of given him his run, right?

05:33He's been there the longest though.

05:35So that conversation is probably happening with Chris Greer.

05:38He predates Steven Ross.

05:40That conversation is probably happening with Chris Greer.

05:43Maybe they have a good enough relationship where, Hey, what

05:47are we going to do about this?

05:49But murmurs don't come directly.

05:50Murmurs come from the outside.

05:52Like, I think I'm going to have a talk with Steven outside.

05:55Okay.

05:56Nobody cares about that inside.

06:00It's the inside murmurs that kind of present themselves like bubble

06:04guts, but then you got to go make a boo-boo and you don't even realize it.

06:08Uh, somebody's saying a cap for life.

06:10Same Twitter streets are saying Brandon shores.

06:13The next GM, the cap guy, please.

06:17I don't, but that's, that's me.

06:20I don't need another cap guy, dude.

06:23No, no.

06:25I mean, I think the dolphins biggest issue, and I won't say Chris Greer is

06:34that they have taken this offensive line thing lightly when you look around the

06:41league and see the teams that are being dominant, it's all starting with

06:48the offense and defensive lines.

06:51And I think it's okay to, to build a team around speed and, and, and all these

06:57things, but again, this time of year is the teams that have that, um, dominant

07:07offensive line that have success.

07:10Sure.

07:10And it's always been built that way.

07:12When you think of all the, you think of Tom Brady, how many of Tom Brady's

07:17offensive lineman got paid for whatever reason, because, Hey,

07:20they were protecting Tom Brady.

07:23That's kind of how this works.

07:24You look at Detroit.

07:25Holy smokes.

07:27But like, it wouldn't be too surprising based on Steven Ross's track record.

07:31If, if he did keep McDaniel around and did decide to move, he has done that

07:35before where he's gone, keep coach, don't keep GM, keep GM, don't keep coach.

07:40Why does everybody think that one and both of them have to go together

07:49or leave or stay together?

07:50Why do people think that people like a clean house, dude?

07:54No, but you, even if there's a way of determining where the issue is, like

08:03it's very easy for me to determine where they can see and figure out

08:07if we need to make any changes.

08:10Is the, is it the players or the system, right?

08:13They can't run a football and since November hit, they can't run a football

08:18since at all in December and now we're in the new year and you haven't been

08:23able to run the football, you've had to rotate more offensive linemen and guys

08:28playing out of position at a position that maybe you took a little bit too

08:32lightly.

08:33Okay.

08:34That's not coaching.

08:40Plus you'd also be in a position where you'd have three, if they finish this

08:43week, nine and eight, like you're going to fire a coach with three straight

08:45winning seasons, right?

08:47Well, the GM can say the same damn thing.

08:49Yeah, he could.

08:50He could, but so, so, so like, if, if, you know, if, if I had to go to the

09:00weaknesses of this team, some people would say that he doesn't think they're

09:06tough enough and that has to do with Mike McDaniel and how he goes about his

09:10business.

09:10I'm not going to argue that.

09:11I don't think it's true, but I'm not going to argue that.

09:15But I will say this with all of the success we're seeing in the league and

09:23how teams are doing it, you seem far from that.

09:31And I'm also distracted by the guy who just says, seems like throwing out

09:36the baby with the bathwater.

09:39Is that what you're saying?

09:40Yes.

09:42It's a ridiculous one.

09:43But, but yeah, so, so, so this is not, this is not, we've been talking about

09:52this offensive line for three years.

09:54Yeah.

09:55No other position that we talked about.

09:57We talked about having a big bruiser at running back, but they ran the

09:59ball, they've been running the ball.

10:01Well, now they're not, and it's all going back to the things we've been

10:06talking about for two or three years.

10:08Now, Chris Greer didn't help when he said, don't worry about it.

10:11I'm worried about it.

10:13Cause now you got a whole bunch of guys playing out of position because

10:18it's not so much Chris Greer.

10:19I think with Chris Greer, my biggest thing with him is it's not so much that

10:22he seems like he's bad at picking talent.

10:24He seems like a really bad, like planner of, of the future.

10:30Yeah.

10:30He just like, he always seems like he's good at, he can plug

10:33holes and he can fix things.

10:35But like when it comes to a Chris, this guy's missed this many games of career.

10:39Nah, don't worry about it.

10:41You know what he, Chris Greer is kind of GM in the team the same way.

10:48Um, who's the last, uh, Jim that from the Jetson in the year?

10:52Um, which is go get, go spend all the money for the, the, the older guys.

11:01Right.

11:02And he did that.

11:04You have a left tackle.

11:06Who's amazing when he plays, right?

11:09You have a whole bunch of young guys that need development, but you don't

11:12have enough veterans around them to kind of swallow them up while they learn.

11:18And you got guys playing out of position when there's injuries.

11:21Yeah.

11:21That, that it's, it's a tough spot to be in.

11:26You like, you should have planned for this a little bit better.

11:31And all of your money is going to players to where you're always going to have to

11:40be cheap on the offensive line.

11:42So I don't know if it's a fixable thing, unless you start moving money around.
