Miami Dolphins Continue To Lie To About The Offensive Line

00:00Dolphins.

00:01They got mini camps going on right now.

00:03Can I just tell you something?

00:04That's enough.

00:05What are you doing?

00:06I hit the wrong button.

00:08This guy is,

00:09you have been locked on that phone for no less than an hour and 20

00:14minutes.

00:14That's not true.

00:15Yes,

00:15it's true.

00:15It's pretty true.

00:16It's not true.

00:17It's true.

00:17Stop covering the mic.

00:18I could.

00:19That's not true.

00:19Yeah.

00:19Okay.

00:20It is true.

00:20Isn't that true?

00:21You can review the tape.

00:23You've been locked.

00:24You've been locked in ever since he was,

00:26you've been thinking about Paella,

00:27not the,

00:27not the program.

00:28No,

00:28you did.

00:28That's not true.

00:29I think so.

00:30I think so.

00:31Um,

00:32can I tell you something that drove me nuts?

00:36I'm all for defending your guys,

00:38right?

00:38I'm all for defending your guys.

00:39What do you mean?

00:40You guys just as a coach,

00:42a player,

00:43your friends,

00:44whatever.

00:44I'm all for defending your guys,

00:45but I will not sit here and be blatantly lied to by who Dolphins,

00:52offensive line coach,

00:53butch Barry.

00:54Ooh,

00:54what do you say?

00:55Oh,

00:55wait,

00:56wait,

00:56let me guess.

00:58Let me say something.

00:59Vlad.

01:01Go ahead.

01:03I'm going to just say two words.

01:07Liam Eikenberg.

01:08That's right.

01:11You made up,

01:12you made up for,

01:13you made up for your one hour.

01:14We don't even know the offensive linemen,

01:22right?

01:22Oh,

01:22that's right.

01:22But I know that was good.

01:24That was good.

01:24I know for a fact that if Tobin has a problem with,

01:29with somebody said about the offensive line,

01:32then Liam Eikenberg was mentioned.

01:36Go ahead.

01:37he was asked about bringing him back by reporters.

01:40And he said,

01:41quote,

01:42he's the glue in the room.

01:44Does an unbelievable job with the whole room,

01:47doing an unbelievable job with younger players.

01:49He's a leader by nature in terms of how to do the standard of work.

01:54He can play a lot of different positions,

01:55has multiplicity.

01:57And I think that's very important.

02:02You want to know something,

02:03dude?

02:03I told you this though,

02:05but butch then do me a favor,

02:06dude,

02:07make him a coach.

02:09Then if I need glue and standard in the room,

02:14make him a coach.

02:15Cause the fact that I'm a snap away from you guys,

02:18even contemplating putting him back out on the field is malpractice.

02:24I thought we'd be over this already.

02:26Did you know?

02:28I told you,

02:28wait,

02:29I told you why he was going to be back on the team.

02:32And why is that?

02:33I thought somebody,

02:34why is that?

02:35I don't know.

02:36You know why?

02:36Because they're stupid.

02:38No,

02:39because here's how football teams work.

02:42Okay.

02:44If I have one guy that I can play in multiple positions in actuality,

02:51I have three guys.

02:53Okay.

02:53Now he may not be a starter,

02:56but he's not.

03:00If you need to play him at a number of different positions here and there,

03:06everybody has one of those guys.

03:10And so we decide to have the worst guy.

03:13He stinks.

03:14They're rare.

03:15Rare.

03:16Yes.

03:17How can having somebody,

03:18you want to know why they're rare?

03:19Cause you'd never have somebody this bad on the team.

03:22I'm telling you.

03:23What is he good at office parties?

03:25Like I want to know,

03:26does he always remember during the birthday cake?

03:28I'm telling you that every team has the one or two guys that play multiple positions on the offensive line.

03:35The only reason he plays multiple positions on the offensive line is because he was never good at one of them.

03:42I didn't say all that.

03:44No,

03:44I'm just saying that's why that's why they view him as an asset.

03:48We're trying to convert this year.

03:51He's done center.

03:52He's done left.

03:53I mean,

03:53put it this way.

03:55Bob Sapp.

03:57They had him on offense.

03:59Then they move him to defense.

04:01Then they move him to China.

04:03Japan.

04:04Japan.

04:05Yeah.

04:06Where he became a legend.

04:07Where's the legend.

04:08He's a legend.

04:09I got to reach back out to him.

04:10He said he would come on one time.

04:11Yeah.

04:12Yeah.

04:12He was doing a fight.

04:13And then I was doing the fight.

04:14I forgot about it,

04:15but I want to get him on.

04:17Yeah.

04:18I'm going to ask him.

04:19We got to ask him about the spiders.

04:21Oh yeah.

04:22Oh yeah.

04:23We had a,

04:24they played a prank on him.

04:26So he played a prank on somebody.

04:30So our offense,

04:31our center was probably like 200.

04:34And 65,

04:36270 pounds.

04:38And Bob Sapp was massive and had the muscles on top of muscles.

04:43Ridiculous.

04:44A specimen.

04:45So one time,

04:46Jeff Christie came out of the shower.

04:48And Bob Sapp went at him like he was mad as hell.

04:52What?

04:53And he goes,

04:54and so Jeff's yelling,

04:56hold on,

04:56hold on.

04:57If we're going to fight,

04:57let me put some drawers on.

04:59And we just start laughing at the locker room.

05:03Cause he went,

05:04chased him around.

05:05And he was like,

05:05he thought he was serious.

05:07This is a,

05:08for our,

05:09our viewers out here.

05:10This is Bob Sapp.

05:11Yes.

05:12Like just,

05:13just a terrifying.

05:14And he was also in,

05:16what's the,

05:17uh,

05:17Electra.

05:18He was in that movie.

05:20You're going to eat that cool.

05:21But the movie,

05:24he was in the movie lecture with,

05:26um,

05:26Jennifer,

05:27Jennifer Garner.

05:27I never,

05:28you said he looks like a lecture.

05:30No,

05:30I said he was in a lecture.

05:32So guess why he didn't make it with the Vikings.

05:37Why is that?

05:40Not aggressive enough.

05:42Well,

05:42they did say a lot.

05:43Like you had to get him like,

05:46you had to get him mad to go out and play regular football.

05:50And it just became like,

05:51they didn't know where to put them on offensive line or deep.

05:54Who in the hell is he?

05:56It's like jelly roll.

05:57Look at,

05:59you can't even say that anymore.

06:00He needs to go to Dr.

06:02Pimple Popper.

06:03Get rid of that growth up underneath his arm.

06:07Yeah.

06:08I only fight Bob Sapp when I need a frame.

06:11But you know,

06:12he fought,

06:13he fought,

06:14um,

06:17seven guys on one pay-per-view.

06:19Yeah.

06:20A lot of people don't think it would hold me up.

06:22You think?

06:26Legend though.

06:27Still a legend.

06:28Beloved in Japan.

06:29Yep.

06:30He was a,

06:31he was a cool dude.

06:32Just,

06:33you had to get him fired up to go out and play regular football.

06:38Respectfully.

06:39I don't think that,

06:39uh,

06:40Liam Eikenberg is beating seven guys on the pay-per-view one night.

06:43We're just trying to get him to beat the guy across from me.

06:46Yeah.

06:46Which he doesn't.

06:47I'm telling you.

06:48I told him.

06:49Just send him.

06:50Wait,

06:50wait,

06:50wait.

06:50Send him to the Yotes,

06:52dude.

06:52After the season was over with,

06:54what did I tell you?

06:55Just send him to the Yotes,

06:56dude.

06:56You don't understand how these guys are important in the league.

07:01And I get it.

07:03Like the dolphins basically were like,

07:05you know,

07:05they thought,

07:06Oh,

07:06someone's going to pay him.

07:07Right.

07:07Cause everybody's going to pay offensive.

07:08No,

07:09they're not paying them a lot of money.

07:10Now the dolphins are like,

07:11cause Hey guys,

07:13they're not paying them a lot of money.

07:15I know he's making,

07:16he's making,

07:17I know he's on the cheap skis.

07:18I get it.

07:18So a guy that can play multiple positions on the cheap ski.

07:22You ever,

07:22you gotta have,

07:23you gotta have some guys like that on your team.

07:25You can't go pay big money for every position.

07:27Play the undrafted kid.

07:29Uh,

07:29Andrew Meyer from last year.

07:30Nobody's saying he's going to be a starter.

07:33I know.

07:33I don't,

07:34but I'm saying he don't have him.

07:35He don't even have it as an option.

07:37Don't even,

07:38if,

07:39if three offensive linemen getting hurt.

07:41Okay.

07:42But if somebody night does get hurt or if James Daniels doesn't come back from his,

07:45Achilles,

07:46right?

07:47I don't even want it being on the menu.

07:51Take it off the menu.

07:53Do you understand?

07:55And I told you this when the season ended,

07:58Liam Eikenberg will probably be back because every team has one or two guys that play multiple positions.

08:04And although they don't start,

08:06they're important to the team because you can move them around.

08:10Remember Raniel Pinto?

08:12Marlins reliever.

08:13Raniel Pinto.

08:14Do you remember him?

08:15Here we go.

08:16People would say the same thing about Raniel Pinto.

08:19And they would say a valuable is,

08:22is having a lefty out of the bullpen.

08:25It's not necessarily your closer,

08:27but you can go to him in a pinch and you'll want to know what he did every single time.

08:31Leroy meatballs,

08:33meatballs on top of meatballs.

08:35And you want to know when the meatball stopped,

08:37when they stopped having Raniel Pinto in the bullpen.

08:40My point being is,

08:42what year is this for Liam Eikenberg?

08:45Five?

08:45Five.

08:47You are who you are.

08:49Arr, matey.

08:50And get him the hell off the Dolphins.

08:54I'm telling you.

08:56The reason why he is here.

08:58There's got to be some undrafted guys.

09:00No, there's not.

09:01From North Dakota.

09:01There's not a whole bunch of guys that can play.

09:03There has to be.

09:04There's not.

09:04That's better than this.

09:05Listen,

09:06there's not a lot of guys that are in the NFL that play multiple positions on the offensive line.

09:14You may have one guy per team.

09:18That's how rare.

09:19Like,

09:20so it's like a utility lineman.

09:22Like a utility infielder.

09:25Right?

09:25You don't want him to be an everyday starter.

09:28But you use him in a pinch.

09:30That's what Liam Eikenberg is.

09:32No,

09:32I don't want him in a pinch.

09:34I don't want him in a pinch.

09:36Ever.

09:37No pinch.

09:40I don't want it as an option.

09:42No thanks.

09:45Dude.

09:46No.

09:47No.

09:48That's,

09:48that's,

09:49what you're saying right now is exactly what's going to put them in the same trap.

09:53Somebody said he's a Swiss Army butter knife.

09:55Give that guy a point.

09:58It's well said.

10:00There's no sharpness to those scissors,

10:02knife,

10:03or corkscrew.

10:03I,

10:04I told you after the season,

10:07why he would be here.

10:09Silly.

10:10It's silly.

10:11Okay.

10:11It's silly.

10:12Okay.

10:13We're wasting our time.

10:14No,

10:14you're not.

10:15We're wasting our time.

10:15You gotta have even have it there.

10:17You gotta have cheap talent on your team.

10:19He's not talent.

10:21He's not talent.

10:22He's bereft of talent.

10:23He falls on his face.

10:26Hold up.

10:27Hold up.

10:28Hold up.

10:28What?

10:29You know what the hell.

10:31What?

10:32Bereft?

10:32Is that how you use it?

10:34Minus one.

10:35You sure?

10:36I think it is.

10:36I don't like the word out sounds.

10:37Minus one.

10:37I look it up,

10:40but I can't spell it.

10:42Wait,

10:42wait.

10:42What's the word?

10:43Bereft of talent?

10:46Oh,

10:46God.

10:47Yeah.

10:48Bereft of talent means lacking or devoid of talent.

10:51He's right.

10:53Where'd you pull that one out of?

10:54I don't know.

10:57That's fair luck.

11:00I know words.

11:02They mean words.

11:03It's the same guy who couldn't say enjoy or spell it or spell it.

11:10Hey,

11:10Leroy,

11:11as a running back,

11:11would you run behind Liam Eikenberg?

11:14Be for real.

11:15Be for real.

11:16It's a great question.

11:16Wait,

11:17wait.

11:17Take Michigan.

11:17How would you feel about it?

11:18Where's Liam from?

11:19What's home?

11:20Notre Dame.

11:21Oh,

11:21yeah,

11:21he's definitely not running behind him.

11:23How can I put this?

11:26You say no.

11:27We had some struggles on the offensive line before.

11:31You were on a three-win team.

11:32There had to be a sieve on that line.

11:34Huh.

11:34I was young.

11:35I didn't know him.

11:35Ha!

11:38They were old,

11:40old.

11:41I'm like,

11:42wow.

11:42That was the first,

11:43the only team I ever played on.

11:45We had three or four offensive linemen that were 34.

11:51How you think that went?

11:52Not great.

11:53Yeah.

11:54Not great.

11:55Was that when Reggie was praying?

11:58No,

11:58that was in Minnesota,

11:59where we had a good offensive line.

12:02And he picked Big K up.

12:03Oh,

12:04man.

12:05R.I.P.

12:05Big K.

12:06Right?

12:07He picked Big K up,

12:09who was like 6'4",

12:103'50",

12:11and tossed him aside like a candy wrapper.

12:15Big K did not have it his way.

12:16And he got back to the,

12:17he got back to the huddle,

12:19and all the offensive line,

12:20you see what you did?

12:22They blamed me.

12:25I said,

12:26you got to use your,

12:27you hit your line with sass.

12:32No.

12:32What am I supposed to say?

12:34It's not my,

12:35this is not my fault you got tossed.

12:37It was,

12:38dude,

12:39there's a picture in,

12:40this is how incredible it was.

12:42There is a picture in Minnesota's building

12:46of Big K this high off the ground,

12:49getting arm barred by,

12:51it was the most,

12:52we kept running it back on film.

12:54Just running it back.

12:55Just running it back.

12:56Just running it.

12:57And every time they ran it back,

12:58another offensive lineman would stare at me.

13:00Told you not to cut Reggie.

13:02Oh my God.

13:03Amazing.

13:04Amazing.

13:05Amazing.

13:06Amazing.
