You're listening to Giraffe King's Network.
This is the Dunlabel Tarshall with the Stugat's Podcast.
The Marlin, huh?
One game out with a weak left.
They got the Metz and the game out with a weak left. They got the nets in the pirates with a weak left
And about the only thing
That the dolphins could do yesterday to totally swamp anything Marlins related is what they did
I have I have a series of facts here for you Chris Coday. I want you to pick your favorite one
here for your Chris Cote, I want you to pick your favorite one.
Wow.
Sean Payton for five years will make between 17 and 20 million dollars a year.
The Broncos will pay Russell Wilson $296 million through 2028.
Get out of here.
Sean Payton said last year that Teddy Bridgewater don't be surprised if he replaces Tuwa. The Broncos gave up a first and a second round pick for Sean Payton,
who last week had them preparing for Tuwa by having Ben Danucci throw left-handed in practice
even though he was not left and is not left-handed.
Get out of here.
Yep, that's how they prepared for two.
He's a righty.
That's correct.
That's a tidbit that made me lay the six and a half with Broncos.
Then there's this group of facts, okay, because the dolphins didn't have waddle yesterday.
Don't need Jonathan Taylor, but could have had him.
I don't think he would have done better than eight touchdowns in 375 yards from the running
back position but maybe given the way that it's going. But this is what I want to
show you as well because this part in today's NFL is not. So they had 70 points
through three and a half quarters. The jets have 42 points this season.
The Patriots have 52 points this season.
There is not a team in the NFC South
who has 70 points this season.
The Vikings have the leading passer by yardage
and the leading receiver by yardage.
They don't have 70 points this season.
What you saw yesterday was totally nuts. And then next gen stat says
the five fastest times recorded this season from people running with a football,
three different dolphins own all five of the times. Amazing.
They have the most exciting thing in sports right now. I look forward to watching this team.
They had to Buffalo this weekend,
and they're not sweating Buffalo. Buffalo is sweating that. Buffalo's been just as good
as they've been, even though they've lost. Okay, that's fine. That was your analysis last
year's work. And I was right. I mean, not as it related to comparing them to the dolphins
you weren't. You said they've been just as good as them. They had half as many points.
They lost to the jets. Their point differential
is the same even with that 50 spot that the dolphins got yesterday. But regardless, the
bills, we'll see. We'll all get to find out together. It'll be a great deal of fun watching
them at the top of the division because they're clearly better than the rest of the division.
And this is the other fact I want to give you. Tua was drafted fifth overall, Zach Wilson drafted second overall.
Which is your favorite from those facts, Chris.
Teddy over Tua is my favorite there.
It's just because he's doing that thing.
He's on TV saying the thing wrong, big wrong.
Let's play the videos to God,
so Sean Peyton didn't like the reporter going into the question,
the preamble of the question.
It is such great sound.
I'm not certain the reporter asked a question.
He was just rubbing it in.
That's right.
And Sean Payton did not like it.
He was just giving him, look, this is a historic embarrassment after the game to his
like, we don't want to humiliate anyone.
McDaniel saying, I know I was a ballboy there and they didn't interview me for the coaching
job in 2021, but I didn't think we should score more points. We're not looking to embarrass anybody. They could have.
They could have put up 80 something in that game but let's go ahead and listen to Sean
Peyton getting testy.
I know that you said it's embarrassing but this is kind of an historic game.
I'm more.
Third time the team has scored 70 points over 70.
What's the question? What's the question? I just finished telling you.
Next question.
How do you feel?
I just told you I was embarrassed.
But how do you feel about doing historically embarrassed?
Let's play that one more time so you can just hear at the end.
When he's saying, once the question is, you're not just embarrassed.
What about being historically embarrassed?
I know that you said it's embarrassing,
but this is kind of an historic game.
I'm more.
Third time,
for example,
24% of the time.
What's the question?
What's the question?
I just finished telling you.
Historically embarrassed.
Next question.
He regrets coming back, right?
Yes.
He could have gotten that money anywhere, Billy. He got it there. He could have gotten that money anywhere, Billy.
He got it there.
He could have gotten that money.
He was the coveted free agent man.
Things move fast in that sport.
Because now what's McDaniel worth?
When you can see that clear and obvious
of schematic advantages to God's.
When you're watching and that team is now the chief's offense,
and I gave you the stat left.
It's better.
It, uh, I'd slow down there just because the Chiefs have been in the AFC Championship
the last five years.
Right.
But what you have at the quarterback position with the accuracy is one thing.
But the stat I gave you last week that is the stunner is he gets rid of the ball on average
in 2.4 seconds faster than anyone in the league.
That's going to help you keep him healthy.
And on top of that, getting rid of it that fast, he's throwing the ball further down field
on average attempt than anyone else in the league.
That combination with the accuracy, that's not stoppable.
His receivers get down, feel faster than any receivers
in the NFL.
Like Sam Howell was sack nine times
for the Washington generals yesterday.
Washington, that should be the Washington
or the Commanders, sorry.
They should be the generals, the team that played
the globe trotters, because he threw four
interceptions as well.
But then on all nine of those sacks, he held the ball for four
seconds or longer.
You can't do that in the NFL.
And to it never does it.
No, but it's one thing those two gods.
Yes, you're right.
You can't hold it that long in the NFL to a can move in the
pocket, but he's not really a scrambling quarterback.
But the difference between four seconds and he's the fastest
in the league with his decision-making.
Not second fastest, not fourth fastest.
Man, do you know, as we sit here talking, I would say that a defensive lineman would
have to be entirely missed by the offensive lineman to get there that fast, to get there
in less than 2.4 seconds.
The offensive lineman would have to not just be incompetent,
it would have to be just missing you entirely.
And the way they're playing football through three games
makes you think that all the expectations for this season
are warranted.
It's still built on something fragile, because I always have to say the sentence
if he doesn't get hurt because this is specific.
You can tell me a lot of quarterbacks can do this
if you want, but I saw Skylar Thompson with this offense.
He doesn't do the same things.
It's not the same.
The amount of reps that two has gotten,
this is how a young quarterback grows over years.
It doesn't look generally the way it looks
for CJ Stroud at the beginning, where he's getting
pressured and having success anyway.
It takes a couple of years to learn it so much so that Sean Payton, given close to $20
million a year, said he would not be surprised if Teddy Bridgewater replaced Tuwa.
Teddy II gloves. Teddy 22 gloves.
I'm telling you, it's so weird being at the stadium yesterday.
Dolphins fans legitimately don't know how to process this.
Well, how could you?
I'm telling you, like in between quarters when you're getting a drink and you're in line
with other Dolphins fans, you're high-fiving, but you're just like, wait, so we're good,
right?
Like, this is real.
It's, it's every Dolphins fan. It's the exact same thing. It's just like, I don't we're good, right? Like this is real. It's every dolphins fancy, exact same thing.
It's just like, I don't know how to react to being this team.
I'd go a step further because I still have some of my friends
who are holdouts and I see their tech strings
when they're calling the coach an idiot and saying,
here we go again, fourth and short, we're giving it to end gold,
we're gonna be at the half, it's gonna be a four point game
at the half and I just texted back,
how ridiculous do you feel right now?
You won by 50.
You're questioning that a coach clearly knows
what he's doing is gonna go for it on fourth and short
because he really trusts his offense to be better
than your defense.
Some red flags though with him yesterday, right?
You wanna have that killer insta out of the coach.
Like you wanna go for the record if you can.
If you have a chance, I understand, like you don't wanna embarrass the other team, but like do this. Don't do this. You wanna go for the record if you can, if you have a chance.
I understand you don't wanna embarrass the other team,
but like, champagne's not that person,
you show that respect too.
You know what I mean?
It's not like, you know, Pope Francis or something.
Like, champagne's someone that you can embarrass,
it's not a big deal.
70s enough, we're not in this for regular season.
No, oh please, come on.
Plus a revenge game for Lord Fang.
Exactly right.
Yeah, yeah.
That was one where you rubbed in as much as you can.
I would say we rubbed in as much as you can.
I would say we rubbed it in guys.
No, no.
Get out of here.
They took their foot off the gas.
I do agree with obviously not playing the players in the fourth quarter, but they were trying
to actively not score.
They were trying to trip over the yard lines if they could.
Like they were trying to knock it in the end zone and run up that score if they had to.
And by the way, I will say this, Dan, and here's an announcement.
Jason Sanders has been downgraded this week.
Yep. That's a good thing, right?
He's now just on probation.
He's on probation at the moment
because he went 10 of 10 and extra points,
didn't miss any field goals,
but also wasn't given the opportunity
to miss any field goals.
And I do wonder, and people were talking, Dan.
Score 10 touchdowns.
Yeah.
Jason Sanders, so awesome.
Recorded double digit points
without scoring a field goal.
Oh, he's good.
Yeah.
You're running back score to eight to touchdown.
Yeah.
Why is the other running back?
Why is it just dawning on me that we scored 10 touchdowns?
What do you mean who's the other running back?
That Daven A.K.
No, A.K.
A.K.
He wanted to text the saying, I mean, he's really fast.
He moves the A.K.
I mean, what?
He does.
Elevary's going.
Well, anyway, some people are wondering, Dan, would they have
gone for that 73 points if you had faith in Sanders? Because if you go out there and
you try to kick me, make it 73. Then your kicker misses it. You look like a silly.
Dan Lebertard. Did you watch me again? I was all these season. I don't have necessarily
the mobility, but no one can see over the line like me.
Michael, the ACC network job is a good job.
It's a stable job.
I need a packet in.
I've got a lot of good football left in me.
My footwork is underrated.
I can step up in the pocket with the best of luck.
No one can skate in the field like me.
But wouldn't it be nice to be around the family more often and I have to worry about any injuries?
Babe, just give me one more chance.
Still gots.
Tell you what, I'm not going to therapy.
I'm not.
Therapy is not happening.
Sorry.
You need to work on you.
There's one person pulling the rope for this family right here.
And it's Mike Glennon.
This is the Don Leverthar Show with this two gods.
We're presented by Dr. King Sportsbook, one of America's top rated sports book apps.
Draff King's has all kinds of ways to get in on the action including scene game, Paul A's,
props, live betting and so much more. You just go down when you sign up on a drive king's sportsbook app to check it out.
Let me explain. I'd like to explain to the audience because I don't think that people
necessarily understand what a baron, baron landscape Miami Dolphins football has been.
During the broadcast yesterday, they said, the dolphins have not started
consecutive seasons 2 and 0, not 3 and 0, 2 and 0, since 0102. And, less that you think
that what you saw yesterday and over the first three games of the season is a mirage to God. I was surprised to see this from NFL on CBS.
The stats I'm about to give you are totally accurate.
This year so far, obviously two is three and I just like last year.
This year so far, he has eight touchdowns and two interceptions just like last year,
but this is the one that got me.
This year, just like last year, he has thrown 101 passes and completed 72.
Oh my God. It's exactly the same. Now, of course, last year, he had the one Baltimore game
at the beginning where they were, they came back in the fourth quarter and got it all
in the fourth quarter. But there is no disputing, right? As you see, Dallas, Tumble, and
every man make fun of, oh, hey, Super Bowl hopes, right?
There is no disputing that what the dolphins
announced yesterday with a number that none of us
have ever seen in football.
None of us, that was Batoon Cuckman.
That was like Miami who's playing Batoon Cuckman.
They announced to everybody at seven day,
wait a minute, holy shit, what is happening down there?
If you're still watching regional telecasts
or you're just watching your team,
and you see, how many people around the country do you think
looked at 70 and were like, wait a minute,
like adjusted their eye or their televisions or...
That's a jarring number.
It is.
Seventy points by one team in an NFL game
is a jarring number to see.
It is, so I'm certain many people have that reaction.
They were shocked.
They're just making it look so easy.
And how many seasons have we had down here of 16 to 14
is the way you win football games?
19 to 13 is the way that you win football games.
To God's, it's been like that.
It has been 20 years like that.
Has it been 20 straight years of the only way that the dolphins are going
to win a football game is a way that's not interesting.
So it turns out Chris is paying off a punishment this week where he's not allowed to curse
the entire week but has already said holy shit.
Did I?
Yeah.
Did I?
First segment of the week.
So it starts over next week?
No, tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
I can do it tomorrow and then I'll do it through Monday next week.
I told him before the show because he's got several outstanding,
several outstanding puns.
Now you let him fly.
Well, he wanted, I wanted him to do the dark night.
He doesn't want to do it.
He's supposed to do a punishment where he has an entire pack of big league chew in his
mouth throughout the show, but he didn't want to do it today because he wants to talk excitedly about
the dolphins and my response to him was it's supposed to be a punishment.
Should I do this one now?
You not cursing for a week is here and not here is also at home like what is the rule
for you not curving? It also at home like what is the rule for you not to do?
It's at home too, Dan. Jeremy has to track him to make sure he doesn't curse at home.
You laugh, but it wasn't I can't eat gluten while I'm here. There are punishments that
we take home with us. So what are you serving today? Nothing then? You've just fouled it out.
I'm not so sure I cursed last segment earlier.
What is the punishment for your punishment? Because if you fail it,
we just start right now. How about it's Monday? We're all excited.
We'll start right now. No more cursing the rest of the week. Come on. Let's all be fun.
We're all friends here.
We'll get back to the dolphins. Stugots and Billy already have out for you. God bless,
football. I tell you a couple of different things, actually.
Tony and Juju are doing a really nice job
with what they're doing immediately
after the games on Sunday.
That's out thousands of people are viewing it
and they do a really nice job with it
so you could get that if you want instantaneous football analysis.
Where can they get it, Dan?
YouTube.
On our YouTube page.
Subtab and friends.
At Lebitard Show and Lebitard, Dan? YouTube. On our YouTube page. Let's have a friend at Lebitard Show.
And Lebitard and Friends on YouTube,
subscribe, please.
Help us grow.
Stugots and Billy have God Bless Football out.
I have learned, as I walked by this morning
and Stugots was puffing on a heater in the garage,
that Stugots and Billy are now just begging people
to send them stuff because someone sent them to me.
No.
Well, that's, I mean, Billy can expand on this, but someone sent us something and Billy
did a segment debut, a segment this morning called send us stuff.
Well, when in Rome, you know what I mean?
If a meat company comes and sends.
Well, you said no.
You said no, when I said begging for you to send them stuff and then it sounds like you
just beg people to send you.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I wouldn't classify it that way.
This is what happened, Dan.
A meat company that was featured on hard knocks in an episode where they were making gumbo
said, hey, did you see us on hard knocks last night?
And I was like, yeah.
And I didn't.
But I said, yeah.
And then they said, we want to send you, we're big fans of the show.
We want to send you a bunch of meat.
And I said, okay.
And I forgot about it.
And then I came in today and it was like three weeks ago,
four weeks ago, and there was just this box full of meat.
And I said, you know what, this is so nice.
We should do something with this.
We should give it to people.
So if anyone wants, there's a bunch of trophies
who just out there, but lots of slice meat,
there's just a bunch of different meat.
Anyway, so they said the stuff,
we thought, you know, we should highlight this
and then we can make this segment called send us stuff.
We're not begging people.
If you want to send us stuff, go right ahead, send us stuff. We're not begging you.
God bless football is where you find billions to gots doing funny football things.
It is clear already, Stugots, in an AFC East that you know for two decades has been dominated by the Patriots.
I don't know if you like me felt bad for
Romo and Nance having to do that Patriots Jets game as their as their featured game yesterday.
But when you look at the differences in the division between the top of the division and the
bottom of the division, Belicek was in the rain, his hair was dishevelled and he had shavon
so poorly that he clearly had cuts like little bloody cuts over his lip. He no longer
looks like a genius because Mac Jones is his quarterback. But that's not as funny as
what happened during the Jets game. At one point I heard, I don't know, it was the second
or the third quarter, the Jets have one passing yard. And there was a Jets fan in the stands.
Did you see this?
Who was screaming at his team?
It's miserable.
They can't score.
He's wearing a rain parka.
And his teeth kind of fall out in his mouth.
They become dislodged.
His Jets fan, man.
His hatred and his anger is so strong as he sits there near Seth Rogen and he just he spits he spits teeth out and in a way that's very frustrated.
Put it on the pole has your football team ever frustrated you so much that you spit out your fake teeth. losing his teeth while saying get the fur to to Zek will have him.
Jets. Yeah.
His as Jetsy as you can formulate it in a lab.
He can't even finish telling his starting quarterback his bust
of a quarterback get the F out of here because on the F word
his teeth fall out.
How frustrating is it for the Jets to see the Houston Texans have one of the seven fullbacks
in the league running a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown and they can't get touchdowns.
I will tell you again that the Jets have 42 points this season.
They got to do something about this quarterback position.
They have to they
cannot start sac willson again the window is slamming
shot it's uh... they don't trust him to throw the ball
and they have good reason to not trust them they see him every single day in
practice the sample sizes large enough
but i will say this
a lot of this is on joduglass and a lot of this is on robert sell
so on an injury.
Well, I mean, address the offensive line.
The reason we have to sign Brett Farve, the reason we have to sign Aaron Rogers past their
primes is because we can never get the quarterback position right.
Ever, we take Sam Darnold, we take Zach Wilson.
And then what do we do once we have Zach Wilson?
We don't coach him up. We don't make him better
We don't get an offensive line the offensive line has been a disaster for years now for the jets
And I'm not certain they be any better if Aaron Rogers was the quarterback. Well, they would be I'd
Some Dan I'm not I would be two gods. They can't be they're got it in that offensive line is one of the reasons Aaron Rogers got
Heard they got incompetence at the position.
Aaron Rogers would not be that at the position.
But they matched up against a really good defensive line from Buffalo and they opened up a bunch
of holes in the running game and you have Nathaniel Hackett who other than like,
having Zach Wilson, I'm sure he felt pretty good about his Sunday considering what the
Broncos did, but he's just not giving his running backs the ball enough.
You know, in a 15 to 10 game, they threw the ball 36 times.
Whizack Wilson, Breeze Hall said yesterday, because the Patriots are daring them to throw
every one.
Yeah, I think, no, because he's hopeful at the time.
Yeah, I mean, it's hard to, to espouse, run the ball when Breeze Hall is averaging one
and a half yards per carry, but he got the ball four times in the game previous. He got the ball just 12 times in this game. They have to stay committed to
the running game. If not, just go out and get another quarterback and yet, Salah, what
else is he got to say? He stands by his quarterback at the end of the game. But if I don't care
how much Dolphin sex Aaron Rogers is listening to the season's going to be well over by December.
He was listening to Dolphin sex against the Broncos yesterday South Florida all of South
Florida.
You should just have Kevin Harlan on.
Dana, I have a Dolphin stat.
Would you like it?
Yep.
A stat of the day even some might say.
Ready?
Well, you need your music.
Oh, well, then it's not a stat of the day.
Well, I'm just trying to make things easy for Mike.
Right.
All right. So, yes. So just a step.
So now you've decided after 15 years, today's the day,
you're going to try and make it easy.
Start of the day.
Start of the day.
And it's the start of the day.
Start of the day.
Start of the day.
And it's the start of the day.
Start of the day.
Start of the day.
And it's the start of the day.
Start of the day. Start of the day, and this is start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, and this is start of the day.
In yesterday's 50-point win over the Denver Broncos,
Tuatungo Viloa had a 135.42 pass rating
and two touchdowns, right handed.
He threw two of them in the year.
I didn't see the other one.
What was the other one?
I saw the shovel pass.
They ran that play again?
Yeah, they did it twice.
No look, shovel pass with the offense.
Did you know Stugats that Charles Johnson's kid played in the NFL?
I did not learn that until yesterday.
CJ's that's right.
Really?
Uh, yes.
When they said, I just heard, uh, his father played for the Marlins.
And I'm like, who's father played for the Marlins?
Hmm.
And I realized that the Broncos had a player that I did not know was Charles Johnson's son.
I wanted to ask you when you say they haven't coach Zach Wilson up because I really don't
know, and you don't know either.
It's very hard for us to do some of the measurements on this.
Brian Flores right now, his lawsuit, he would lose it if someone just turned on the film of
yesterday's game anywhere around his lawyers because it didn't seem like Brian
Flores believed in Tua in any way. And I don't know whether what has happened is
a natural growth aided by scheme and speed that would have also happened
probably not like this, but would have also
happened if Brian Flores had believed and supported.
But when you say that Zach Wilson, they have not coached him up correctly.
Nobody in the world could have foreseen nobody.
What you're seeing from the precision, accuracy and decision making of the quarterback position of this
twoa when he was playing for Brian Flores with a team that overachieved with and for Brian
Flores. Mike McDaniel saw though. Not this to God. I can see something without seeing this.
No one force saw this. But Dan, he did tell us that he thought tour was the most accurate quarterback in the NFL. That's before he really got
into it with two of us. I know, but, I mean, what you're talking about right now is
if he, if he does this all season, it'll be the greatest season we've ever seen from a
quarterback. Like, if he does this all, if he does this all season, if this is recreatible and he doesn't get hurt over 17 games, that's not where we had him
under Brian Flores, that's not what he looked like.
He was learning the game, it's a difficult position to learn.
My only point is as observers,
when yet it's easy to say they're not coaching Zach Wilson.
Oh yeah, he looks totally incompetent.
And it's easy to blame management
because and structure and organization
around a quarterback who doesn't look like he can play football and was taken three spots
higher than two was taken. And I've had to walk back my position on coaching because of the
evolution on coaching because I'm watching San Francisco and the dolphins and they look like their light years ahead of the guy who just got 20 million a year from the Walmart family that spent
$4.65 billion to own that team because he was supposed to be smarter than everybody else.
They look light years ahead because they are light years ahead.
Jimmy Garoppolo does not look like the same quarterback without Kyle Shanahan.
I mean, what Mike McDaniel has done with Tuwa is absolutely incredible.
And yes, Dan, he was a big time prospect coming out of college.
We were talking about tanking for Tuwa.
That's what teams were trying to do.
They wanted that quarterback so badly, but no one.
And I mean, no one could have seen that he was going to turn into this.
And a lot of it has to do with Mike McDaniel and the players
They have put around too well. You can tank for two unexpected him to be good
Trevor Lawrence came with exactly the same expectations and it's not it doesn't look like this
I always get a slight chuckle out of people
describing Miami's and San Francisco's offense is innovative because the principles of their offense have been around for 40 years.
It's the shenanhan offense, but there's a lot to be said for growth and development within the system.
Because now another year in the system, to his decisiveness, the ability to make reads quickly,
because that's what makes you impossible to beat. When you take the top off the defense,
we saw even Patrick Mah home struggle when teams were
like daring him to take what's underneath to us not having that struggle this season that patriots
game is a great example of how you stay in a game against Miami and how Miami is not falling in love
with a cheat code in Tyree kill and now they have the running game online. Arm said was hurt all
of the year and now you see arm said back in that in that team. And what they're running game is doing that is the shame of handoff. And Mike,
it was no waddle yesterday. It's insane. It's insane how good they are and how they've
developed the personnel on the team to play within it.

Don Lebertard.
I read his lips and it sounded like he was saying what you want to fight me now, spoke.
But I'm telling you, if you look, we can play a game right now.
The lips look the same on fight you and failure.
Watch my lips.
Let me turn off my mic.
No, I just look at the other ones.
I like this. I like this one. look at your drums. I love this dude.
I love this dude.
And I want you guys to tell me if I'm saying fight you
or failure, okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Still gots.
Why are you, your idea is always so bad for the podcast.
I'm so mad.
I don't know how to do it again.
I just want to do it again.
No, fight you.
That was fight.
I made me can't tell.
Oh my god.
We got to the point.
I'm going to do it again. No, fight you. That'm not lying. I'm just gonna tell you. That's what an audio of, here we go, do it again. No.
Fight you.
Fight you.
I'm in the canton.
Oh my God.
That's the bottom of it.

I want to switch over because I imagine we will wear out people with dolphins talk over
the coming season.
It's the biggest story from the weekend.
And it was an incredible football weekend and they were the biggest story.
Well, I would say Deon in the way he lost was pretty big too.
I don't want to get it.
I don't want to get it.
That one too.
Yeah, we got to talk about Travis Kelsey's dating habits.
But the first thing that I wanted to go to because I actually called Mike this weekend because I imagined
him sleeping Saturday night as a hater with a giant smile on his face.
Having trouble put on the pole, Jude, at Lebitar's show, have you ever had trouble getting to
sleep because you're smiling too much?
Because I think that I don't know which made Mike happier, the fact that every college football team
in the shipping container lost the fans that we have here.
And there is great joy in watching your friends lose.
But they all lost and some of them lost in funny debilitating Al Golden fashions, but
also Mike the Hader who has had to eat a month of Dion talk a month of the way
Colorado's building it is the way is better than the way Miami is building it. I
understand my name hasn't played anyone. I understand that temple doesn't
impress you. However, I would say that not unlike the Miami Dolphins, their
quarterbacks to God's, with time to throw.
Very good.
With time to throw, as he always has had this season
because that offensive line is as good as money can buy,
is a different football team.
And so it's not just that the University of Miami
has started unbeaten this season and is dragging teams
that might be okay, like Miami of Ohio, which beats Cincinnati or Texas A& is dragging teams that might be okay like Miami of Ohio,
which beats Cincinnati or Texas A&M teams that might be okay.
You say they haven't played anybody, but I mean, it was at the top 20 team.
If you take the, if you take Bethuna, the equation, which is an FCS team, the FBS teams outside
of Temple are undefeated. We're not for playing Miami.
Understood. But as I tell the audience right now, Miami of Ohio, temple and Texas A&M
is victories that would be a yawn from our audience on the strength of schedule.
They'll have chances to prove it. They're going to play FSU. North Carolina, they'll have
a chance right now. That's the first chance. North Carolina has
in Drake May a quarterback who's supposed to be taken top five. And I've heard people
say that he is in the discussion with caliburians so i
know he's not
i don't think so either of the hives been for the but for the topic in the draft
he is for the top is actually in the
yeah as a prototype he's he's a great player
we will find out
hopefully the jets get soon enough
but i can draft a quarterback if you're not trading for a quarterback as you're
afraid of hurting air and rogers is feelings you're not gonna draft a quarterback. If you're not trading for a quarterback because you're afraid of hurting Aaron Rogers' feelings,
you're not gonna draft a quarterback.
Here's the other thing, Matt Ryan,
his agent is calling the jets.
The jets say, now we're good, you're not good.
Carson went, his agent calls the jets,
and I don't want Carson went,
but it's better than Zach Wilson.
The jets say, nah, we're good.
And so now we're gonna be held hostage by a guy
who has played four snaps for us.
We're not gonna get a quarterback
or draft his replacement
because we don't wanna upset Aaron Rogers.
What is that?
Have you considered rooting for another team?
Yes.
Someone needs to tell Aaron Rogers,
like, hey buddy, what's your plan?
Like how long are you gonna be here?
Cause we can't just do nothing
to not hurt your feelings.
Like because if you're not gonna trade for a quarterback to not upset him, you're not
going to draft a quarterback, then you're looking at like four or five years of irrelevance
just to keep Aaron Rogers happy when he may not even play that long.
Right.
Don't pick the chargers, too.
I won't.
Yeah, I want to rent a team for a year if I could do that.
Just for a year.
It's a lot of iron gets healthy.
The second Aaron is back, I'll be back to the side.
I tried this, people won't let you forget it.
Well, I want to rent your team. Fwent is put it, put it on the screen. Please
in the corner, the Jets fan with his teeth falling out just so that Stugots can see what
is happening in his life right now. He's out after three games. They've finally broken
him. He wants to rent another team. And it's the dolphins, which is their only, their
only rival. Correct. The Jets. Well, the bills, the is their only, their only rival, correct?
The jets, well, the bills, the Patriots, they've lost to the Patriots.
15 consecutive times out there.
That's amazing.
That's not arrival.
Hammer and a nail don't have a rival.
15 consecutive times.
Not a rival.
Right.
I mean, most of those had to be without Brady.
It's not an on arrival.
Right.
Put it on the pole.
Do you have a rivalry if you've lost 15 straight times
to a single team?
The Jets have one rival.
It is the dolphins.
This hurts, right?
It hurts enough to spit up your teeth.
That the Jets have 43 points this season,
and the dolphins came very close to having that at the half
yesterday.
It all hurts, then.
I know.
I mean, thank you for the reminder.
It all hurts. Moreno still hurts, okay? We passed the marino and he went to the dolphins that still hurts all of it hurts
Every single bit of it hurts. We sent Chad pennyton down here
He had the best season. He's ever had they won the division it hurts
Yeah, they won the division, but it was with games that were 16 to 4th, but they won I understand
They didn't win in the playoffs. They got to the playoffs.
I'll take losing in the playoffs.
They lost in the first round of the playoffs.
And I will tell you again, the most enthusiastic thing
about this dolphin team.
It's not that it's winning.
It's how?
Because it won with Chad Pennington to go 11 and five.
But all the games were insufferable to watch.
Not since marino have I ever felt the dolphins have the better team that's on the field
all the time.
That's a long time.
That's multiple generations to God.
I know.
And not since the early 2000s, did you even entertain the notion of a super bowl?
And I think you have that.
You have a Super Bowl.
You have a Super Bowl favorite down here in Miami.
You got a buffalo, Dan,
and you feel like you have the better coach.
You feel like I cannot believe I'm saying this.
You feel like you have the better quarterback.
You do.
I mean, you do.
I think that you have a far less reckless quarterback.
I still fear Josh Allen both ways.
I fear that I will lose to him and I would fear having him on my team because he'll
fumble three times and throw an interception.
Both ways I fear Josh Allen's just general recklessness.
I do believe that they will lose close games because and already have to the jets somehow without
Aaron Rogers. By the way, I did mention that they had 43 points. 22 of them were in that
game. So like, they are going to be hard to watch all season if they do not change their
quarterback because again, the announcer said during the game yesterday and I felt bad for Roma and Nance. I heard the phrase one passing yard.
We weren't in the first quarter anymore.
It was either the second or the third.
I can't remember.
I wanted there was one time where he just fell to the ground.
Like there was no one around him, but he is like, Dan, he's thinking so much
out there and he's so nervous.
The moments are just too big for Zach Wilson.
And the coaching staff clearly said,
hey, just don't turn the ball over.
So rather than try to make a play,
he is willing to fall straight to the ground,
take a sack so he doesn't turn the ball over.
It is dreadful.
It's the opposite of how the dolphins are playing, right?
Because you could see the confidence in the people involved.
When RG3 says of Tyree Kale, this is the best wide receiver in the game.
This skill set and what he says, nah, man, that's my quarterback.
That's my quarterback that is making me look like that because everything he throws me
is, I'm catching it in stride.
If I have a yard and he always has a yard on everybody in every direction.
If I have a yard, my quarterback is making me look like Justin Jefferson.
always has a yard on everybody in every direction.
If I have a yard, my quarterback is making me look like
Justin Jefferson.
