Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:43 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.
Starting point is 00:01:25 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
Starting point is 00:01:48 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.
Starting point is 00:02:19 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
Starting point is 00:02:53 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.
Starting point is 00:03:29 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.
Starting point is 00:03:49 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
Starting point is 00:04:11 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.
Starting point is 00:04:32 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,
Starting point is 00:04:51 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?
Starting point is 00:05:02 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
Starting point is 00:05:15 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.
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:06:10 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
Starting point is 00:06:26 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
Starting point is 00:06:44 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
Starting point is 00:07:17 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.
Starting point is 00:07:37 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.
Starting point is 00:08:05 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.
Starting point is 00:08:26 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?
Starting point is 00:08:46 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.
Starting point is 00:09:04 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.
Starting point is 00:09:16 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.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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.
Starting point is 00:09:41 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:06 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.
Starting point is 00:10:18 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.
Starting point is 00:10:35 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.
Starting point is 00:11:00 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.
Starting point is 00:11:17 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
Starting point is 00:11:53 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.
Starting point is 00:12:42 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.
Starting point is 00:13:13 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,
Starting point is 00:13:31 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.
Starting point is 00:13:47 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
Starting point is 00:14:14 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.
Starting point is 00:14:23 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
Starting point is 00:14:48 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.
Starting point is 00:15:25 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
Starting point is 00:15:48 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.
Starting point is 00:16:04 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
Starting point is 00:16:23 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
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:16:58 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.
Starting point is 00:17:11 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.
Starting point is 00:17:23 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
Starting point is 00:18:05 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.
Starting point is 00:18:30 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.
Starting point is 00:19:11 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
Starting point is 00:19:45 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.
Starting point is 00:20:08 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
Starting point is 00:20:43 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
Starting point is 00:21:14 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
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.
Starting point is 00:21:58 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.
Starting point is 00:22:12 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.
Starting point is 00:22:42 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?
Starting point is 00:22:59 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.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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
Starting point is 00:23:50 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
Starting point is 00:24:35 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,
Starting point is 00:25:16 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.
Starting point is 00:25:57 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.
Starting point is 00:26:22 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,
Starting point is 00:27:02 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.
Starting point is 00:28:21 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.
Starting point is 00:28:32 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.
Starting point is 00:28:42 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.

It's the biggest story from the weekend. And it was an incredible football weekend and they were the biggest story.
Starting point is 00:29:28 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
Starting point is 00:29:56 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
Starting point is 00:30:35 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
Starting point is 00:31:03 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
Starting point is 00:31:35 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
Starting point is 00:31:58 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,
Starting point is 00:32:16 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.
Starting point is 00:32:34 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.
Starting point is 00:32:44 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.
Starting point is 00:32:59 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?
Starting point is 00:33:25 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.
Starting point is 00:33:37 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.
Starting point is 00:33:50 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.
Starting point is 00:34:04 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
Starting point is 00:34:32 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.
Starting point is 00:34:54 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.
Starting point is 00:35:13 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.
Starting point is 00:35:35 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.
Starting point is 00:36:14 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,
Starting point is 00:36:34 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.
Starting point is 00:36:58 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.
