00:00 They finished the game on Sunday against the Patriots,
00:03 powering, four minute offense.
00:06 It was majestic.
00:07 It was beautiful.
00:09 We're running it.
00:10 You can't stop us.
00:11 We need to throw the ball on third down.
00:13 You can't stop our quarterback.
00:16 Let's drive all the way downfield.
00:17 Oh, we got a cheap motion out with Tyreek.
00:21 Oh, you're gonna double cover Tyreek?
00:22 Jalen Wilder was wide open in the middle of the field.
00:26 That is a kill.
00:28 That's a beautiful finish.
00:29 Oh, it was a great drive.
00:31 No question about that.
00:32 The only problem--
00:34 Omar, the only problem with your premise
00:35 there is the Dolphins rushed for 78 yards yesterday.
00:38 And--
00:39 I know.
00:40 But on that drive, I'm curious how many of those yards
00:43 were on that drive.
00:43 Let me--
00:44 21.
00:44 It was like 21.
00:45 I already did the math.
00:46 So--
00:47 Of course you did.
00:48 Yes, I did.
00:49 Because this is where, if I'm going to make a point,
00:52 I usually try to come prepared.
00:53 And I'm going to maintain that while the running game has
00:56 had some success this season without question.
01:00 This is a passing team.
01:01 I mean, come on.
01:03 The running game--
01:04 Say what?
01:05 I'm saying, oh, oh, oh, I got you.
01:07 I got you.
01:08 Go ahead.
01:09 You got me.
01:09 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:11 I got you.
01:12 I got you backed into a corner.
01:13 Don't worry.
01:14 We're going to get to the news of the day in a second.
01:15 I got you backed into a corner.
01:16 Are you ready for this?
01:17 Go for it.
01:19 Dolphins this season through six games, 206 rushing attempts,
01:25 195 completions.
01:28 What happened to the last two games?
01:30 They played eight games.
01:33 New England.
01:34 I said through the last eight games.
01:36 You said through six games.
01:37 I apologize.
01:38 Look at you.
01:38 You're trying to get me on semantics.
01:40 Six games.
01:41 I'm going to try to get to Oregon.
01:43 OK.
01:45 Now let's do yardage games.
01:47 Don't do me like that.
01:49 Hold on.
01:50 Come on.
01:51 Don't do me like that.
01:53 They're averaging 100.
01:54 They're averaging, OK, 453 yards of offense.
02:00 And yes, 151 of them are through the ground.
02:04 But bro, OK, you're telling me that the team that
02:09 has the most rushing yards in the NFL isn't a rushing team.
02:12 Is that what you're really saying?
02:13 That's exactly what I'm telling you.
02:15 And I'm telling you that the running game is an offshoot
02:17 of the passing game and the threat of the passing.
02:20 That's exactly what I'm going to tell you.
