00:00 >> Overall, it just shows that there's so much work that needs to be done.
00:06 Bodies, they gotta get healthy.
00:08 They gotta give themselves a chance to match the physicality.
00:12 I mean, you were one of the first people who said, and I never thought about it,
00:16 that this is still a finesse team despite what they can do,
00:19 despite what they can achieve.
00:21 Even the run plays, I knew they'd have to attack them laterally.
00:28 Could not run right at them, and that's a byproduct of,
00:32 you're right in Eikenberg Express.
00:34 And he didn't have any colossal, glaringly bad plays, but
00:38 there's no way he was gonna hold up against those centers.
00:42 I mean, those defensive tackles, and neither was the interior of the line.
00:46 And then you replaced Lester Cotton, put Lester Cotton in there, Liam Eikenberg.
00:52 The whole left side of the line is backups.
00:54 >> Yeah.
00:55 >> That's against the best defensive line in the NFL.
01:00 Yeah, that's a recipe for disaster.
01:02 The one thing I will say is that the Dolphins defensive line,
01:06 they performed better than I expected.
01:08 They really exceeded my expectations, and they should be proud of themselves.
01:16 Unfortunately, just wasn't enough for the team.
01:18 Just wasn't enough to pull off a victory.
01:20 >> No, and whatever Damaged Eagles did on the ground was pretty much at the end
01:25 when after that long drive.
01:26 And then the Eagles, unfortunately, it came up that they had like two third and
01:31 long situations and they completed passes just one yard shy of the first down.
01:36 And Kevin Surianni is coaching over there.
01:37 He goes, we'll do the tush push, sorry, brotherly shove, and nothing's automatic.
01:42 >> I'm not calling it the brotherly shove.
01:44 >> Okay, well, the ass mass, whatever you wanna call it.
01:48 But it's like, it's an automatic for those guys.
01:50 It's like- >> Yeah.
