SportsTranscript
00:00We have pre-season action tonight, Dolphins, Bucs.
00:05Do you think Tua plays Leroy?
00:09No, unlike a lot of other situations,
00:14we've seen him with his timing, his mobility,
00:19his getting rid of the ball.
00:21We've seen all the things we need to see
00:23to know that he's ready.
00:25I saw enough, I saw enough and I also saw.
00:29Now, it sucks that Tyreek and Waddle
00:34aren't gonna get any, a few plays.
00:40Would they really?
00:41They don't need plays.
00:42They don't need plays.
00:44Everybody says that.
00:47Listen, I get what you think, okay?
00:52But there's a difference in running full speed in practice
00:56and running full speed in a game.
00:59And I don't wanna hear it if somebody pulls a hammy
01:03or a quad or something like that
01:05because they went too hard because they hadn't played
01:07in any games up until the regular season.
01:10I don't wanna hear it.
01:11I don't wanna hear it.
01:12They've already got injuries.
01:15Tyreek already had a thumb thing
01:17and then Waddle didn't even say what he had
01:19but he was out for like two weeks.
01:20Okay.
01:21You haven't seen Waddell at all.
01:23Okay, all right.
01:25Who knows if we will.
01:26All right.
01:28There's just certain things here.
01:30I don't care who you are, how long you've played.
01:34There's certain things that you need to go through
01:37during camp in the preseason.
01:39For people who think that that's not accurate
01:43are damn fools.
01:44You just have to go through stuff.
01:46That's the whole point of it.
01:48What did you see?
01:48It kind of sounded like Salah was taking a shot
01:50at Mike McDaniel yesterday, you know?
01:53Why?
01:54Oh, cause Aaron Rodgers came out
01:56and he's like, this is the toughest camp
01:58I've had in eight years.
01:59And then Robert Salah was like, yeah,
02:01we're not having one of them country club training camps.
02:04And they're friends.
02:05And it kind of felt like a little dig at his boy.
02:09Because guess what?
02:11If this Aaron Rodgers thing goes south early.
02:14Everybody's gone.
02:15Robert Salah is going to be looking for a job quickly.
02:19He's going to be at the country club.
02:20Right.
02:21So, so his body would be in the streets.
02:24You didn't think that that was a little dig, Vlad?
02:28You didn't think that that was a little shoddy shot
02:29at his boy, McDaniel?
02:30There's teams that are doing even less than Mike McDaniel.
02:33I think it was shot at him,
02:35himself and what happened last year with the judge.
02:38So he went-
02:39Let me ask you a question.
02:40Let me ask you a question.
02:41Yeah, cause the, I'm sorry.
02:42Do we consider, do we consider Andy Reid one of the best?
02:48Yeah, top five, dead or alive.
02:50Okay, okay.
02:53And you see what he does.
02:56So football in sports is cyclical.
03:00You see a guy that's won three of the last, what, four?
03:04Superbowls and how he prepares his team for the season.
03:09Usually the way that works is people say,
03:12okay, I need to have my guys ready at the start of the season
03:15instead of going the direct opposite.
03:17You understand what I'm saying?
03:19Now, I'm just saying, that's the way football works.
03:22Well, a lot of people are saying,
03:23I think what the thought process is,
03:27the Jets have this must win week one against the 49ers.
03:30No, we don't have a must win.
03:31It's a must win.
03:32It really sets the tone of everything.
03:35First of all, you're in New York.
03:37If those guys go out and play a bad game on week one.
03:40It's going to be a bad game.
03:41Exactly.
03:42And there's 16 more after that.
03:44Relax.
03:44This is the same guy that's trying to make week two
03:47into a statement game between the Bills and the Dolphins.
03:49I don't want to do that either.
03:51It is a statement game.
03:52No, you can not let me, you can't not let me.
03:54It is a statement game.
03:55I'm not trying to hear that.
03:56I'm telling you right now,
03:57and I will stay true to this Vlad.
03:59If the Dolphins lose week two against the Buffalo Bills,
04:01I will not believe in them again until Thanksgiving,
04:04unless they beat the Packers on the road.
04:06But you know, there's other games that they will be playing.
04:10Not that, not like that.
04:12Primetime against your division.
04:14Let me, let me, let me say this.
04:17Here's the only reason why I fight back
04:21against what you are saying.
04:24Because you just assume that the same teams
04:29are going to be good that were good last year.
04:32And the history of football has proven
04:34that there's four or five teams
04:36that made the playoffs last year
04:38that won't make them this year.
04:40So for you to just go into it and say,
04:42this team's going to be good.
04:43This team's going to be good.
04:44This team's going to be good.
04:46Like it's, it's unrealistic.
04:49It's not factual.
04:51Nah.
04:52I have facts.
04:53Four or five teams every year who made the playoffs before
04:57aren't going to make the playoffs this year.
04:58That's a fact.
04:59So stop treating all the teams that made the playoffs
05:04like playoff teams the next year.
05:06You're not treating it like any playoff team.
05:07Okay. This is why you're being dismissed.
05:09Wait, who says Buffalo's going to be good?
05:13Doesn't matter.
05:13They've won the division five straight years.
05:15Doesn't matter.
05:16Who says Green Bay's going to be good?
05:17When you want to-
05:18Who says Green Bay's going to be good in November?
05:20Come on, dude.
05:22No!
05:24Then what's the point of playing the games?
05:26Let's just have-
05:26I just picked a random game.
05:27Make it the Texans game.
05:28Make it the, make it the Browns game.
05:30I don't care.
05:30The point is, the point is, the point is,
05:34week two is a statement game.
05:38I will not be talked off this,
05:39unless Josh Allen has not shown up to that game.
05:42Really?
05:43Week two is a statement game.
05:44There is no debate about this.
05:45And if they lose it-
05:46Here's why it's not a statement game.
05:47There will be no belief until December.
05:49Here's why it's not a statement game.
05:52And me and you going to fight over this.
05:56We are going to fight over this.
06:00Because if they win the first four games,
06:03including Buffalo,
06:05your ass is going to say,
06:06well, wait till Thanksgiving.
06:07No.
06:08Which means, which means,
06:09so wait a minute.
06:11So you're never going to say that.
06:15Because if you do,
06:17then that would mean,
06:18with your own words,
06:20that game two wasn't really a statement game.
06:23No.
06:24If game two-
06:24You're never going to say that.
06:25If they're 4-0, they've made their statement.
06:27No.
06:29Everybody in football is going to say,
06:32but what about last year?
06:34I think it's a fair thing to say.
06:36No!
06:37I won't say that.
06:37Because you won't say that?
06:38Nationally, it's a fair thing to say.
06:40The Dolphins embarrassed themselves
06:41at the end of last year.
06:42Listen to him.
06:43No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:44I will not let you say this, okay?
06:46The Miami Dolphins, all right,
06:48embarrassed themselves at the end of last year.
06:52They pooped the bed.
06:54Yes.
06:55But especially last year.
06:56I'm giving them the year before
06:58because Tua got concussed on Christmas.
07:00I'll give it to him.
07:01Mulligan.
07:03But last year-
07:03Last year, you had more injuries.
07:06Not Tua.
07:07You had Tua.
07:08But you had Tua.
07:09Oh, dude, you had Tua.
07:11Okay?
07:12Plus three games with Tua.
07:14And you took a big steaming turd
07:19on your field on Monday night football
07:21and blew it and were forced to go to the tundra
07:23with old men.
07:24Let me finish.
07:25I will let you, I'll let you speak.
07:26I'll let you speak.
07:27I promise.
07:28I'm a cordial man.
07:28You embarrassed yourself.
07:31Ergo, you're gonna have to deal with that all year.
07:35And that is fair.
07:36They made that bed
07:37and they will have to deal with that doubt.
07:39But for old Tobes, for old Tobes, no doubt.
07:43As long as you make that statement week two.
07:46Okay.
07:47The test will still be there.
07:49Can I just say this?
07:51Here's what is the reality
07:56of what everybody refuses to admit.
07:59Okay?
08:02Where do you rank the Dolphins as far as the NFL?
08:08Me?
08:08Yeah.
08:09Number two.
08:14What do you mean?
08:15Oh, because I didn't answer the way you wanted to answer.
08:17Behind who?
08:18Two.
08:19Oh, the Chiefs.
08:20Behind who?
08:21The Chiefs.
08:21Gotta respect the champs.
08:22Let me ask you a question.
08:24Is it a fair analysis
08:27that if they lose to this team,
08:30this team, this team, this team, and this team,
08:34that maybe they're the sixth best team
08:37because they can't beat any of the teams above that?
08:40It's possible.
08:41Okay.
08:41So while we sitting here,
08:44don't, don't blame.
08:45Now, while we sitting here saying
08:48that the Dolphins, for whatever reason,
08:52should have beaten these teams,
08:56can I answer it?
08:57Well, maybe they weren't better than those teams.
08:59Maybe they weren't.
09:00Okay.
09:01So then how is that an epic failure?
09:03If they weren't better than those teams?
09:05Are you in last year with them,
09:07that Monet football game?
09:08I'm just, no, no, no, no.
09:09Just please stop playing semantic samurai.
09:11Be a man here and answer the question.
09:13Was it an epic failure to lose on Monet football
09:15the way they did or not?
09:16Oh, to Tennessee?
09:17Oh yeah.
09:18Then what are we talking about, dude?
09:19You ended up going to the tundra as the seventh seed
09:23instead of being in your own building.
09:24It's a stupid, like to argue anything otherwise,
09:27we can talk about the idea
09:28that they took every defensive lineman
09:29off the street for application.
09:31They had that game in hand
09:32and they still would have at least been
09:34in their own, in their own building.
09:36Okay.
09:37Where they've been tremendous under Mike McDaniel.
09:39So they blew one game.
09:41They blew the game.
09:42They couldn't.
09:43Right.
09:44Wait a minute.
09:45You also blew the game against Buffalo special teams.
09:48Yeah.
09:49Yeah.
09:50They kicked it around a bit.
09:52Right.
09:53So you didn't play very well, two of your last-
09:54Yeah, but like, like here.
09:58And people want their team to play the best
10:05at the most important times.
10:08I get that.
10:09Right.
10:11But sometimes those duds come at the wrong time.
10:17It doesn't necessarily mean you suck.
10:20And, and, and to say like we played perfect
10:23and all these, and like, look,
10:25I just think they'll be better this year
10:28because everybody in that building,
10:31when they get in that situation again,
10:33we'll know how to handle it.
10:35Instead of just saying, we going to be us.
10:37We going to do what we do.
10:39Right.
10:40They're going to tweak that a little bit.
10:42I'm from the offense to the defense to,
10:45Hey, we're going to tweak how we handle these situations
10:48in these meaningful games.
10:49Yeah, they better.
10:50Yeah.
10:54See, this is why I don't understand what you told me.
10:57I got, I'm sorry, Leroy, let me, let me tag in here.
11:00Hot tag.
11:05You say Buffalo.
11:07Miami's the second best team though.
11:09They've lost to Buffalo in the last five years,
11:13but you have them as the second best team in the league.
11:17Make that make sense to me.
11:18Interesting.
11:19Okay. I'm glad.
11:20I'm glad you asked that.
11:21You ever hear of a thing called a college preseason rankings?
11:25Listen, we all have our thoughts,
11:26but you got to show me.
11:27All right.
11:28If you go and yak it up against the SEC
11:29and your statement games non-conference
11:32and you're just, you're just a pretender.
11:34So we got to see it.
11:35We got to see it.
11:36And let me just say, any doll fan that argues otherwise
11:41that they don't have to get the Buffalo monkey
11:43off their back is delusional.
11:48But they don't have team.
11:49But Toby, they don't have to win week two
11:51to get that monkey off their back.
11:52They're not eliminated from the playoffs.
11:54But what did I say?
11:55I said, I'm not going to buy them until December.
11:58They're going to have to do it then.
11:59If they want to show me their series,
12:01show me off the bat.
12:02Game of the season, the statement game,
12:03is the whole argument we have.
12:05Well, I didn't say must win.
12:07I said statement.
12:08I said statement.
12:09Why is it a statement game?
12:11Week two.
12:12Week two does not determine your season in one little bit.
12:15You guys don't know what statement games are then.
12:16I don't even.
12:17What are you telling me?
12:18A statement game is exactly what it is.
12:20It's making a statement with the result.
12:24But it has nothing to do with the future of your season.
12:28Of course it does.
12:29Oh, it does.
12:29First of all, it's a division.
12:30They were eight and three last year.
12:32First of all, a divisional game, they count as two.
12:33They didn't play Buffalo in the first half of last year.
12:35They lost both games.
12:36Let me ask him this.
12:38Tobin, two years ago, the offense
12:40played the Ravens in Baltimore.
12:41Was that a statement game?
12:43Oh, it was one of the biggest statement games they've had.
12:45OK.
12:46Which statement game did they do?
12:47Because I remember them going nine and eight
12:49to finish the season.
12:50OK.
12:51But again, you're not being a grown up
12:53because to his head was spaghetti.
12:55But two had lost three games before that.
12:58The three games on the road, you lost to San Francisco.
13:00You lost to the Chargers on Sunday night.
13:03And you lost to Buffalo on the Saturday NFL Network game.
13:06That was a good game.
13:07You were losing already prior to it.
13:09The only embarrassing one out of that, though,
13:11the only embarrassing one was the Chargers game.
13:13The Chargers game was an awful performance.
13:15You lose to Buffalo in the snow on the road.
13:16There's no shame in that game.
13:17And by the way, you lost to San Francisco on the road.
13:21That's acceptable.
13:22But wait a minute.
13:23Not when they lost their quarterback.
13:25You started the Brock Purdy craze.
13:27What?
13:28Yes.
13:29Brock Purdy.
13:29That's when the Brock Purdy craze began.
13:30I understand he started the Brock Purdy craze.
13:32But like, what is that?
13:33That's their statement, not our statement.
13:36So how is that a statement game in week two?
13:39And you guys, and it was a week.
13:41That, Vlad, they have spanked you for half a decade.
13:46They have.
13:47That's the facts.
13:48OK.
13:49You've gotten them to freak out one time.
13:52You're going to start off this season,
13:54and you're going to lose to them?
13:57You're going to tell me that's not going to creep anybody's
13:58doubt at all?
13:59OK.
14:00You know what?
14:01I'm going to put this in a box.
14:03I'm going to put this tape in a box.
14:04I'm not going to bring it up again until week two.
14:07And then I'm going to see how everybody reacts.
14:09Not you, but I'm going to see how the Dolph van reacts.
14:12And you tell me if they're rational if they lose.
14:15But of course it's a statement game.
14:17It's not a must win.
14:19If you guys were grownups, I would
14:20explain the difference between you.
14:22Wait, wait, wait.
14:22Why do you always say the other person's got to be a grownup
14:24if we agree with you?
14:26Because it's like I'm arguing with two Peter Pans.
14:28No, no, you guys are two Peter Pans.
14:29And you guys aren't grownups.
14:30And I'm telling you right now.
14:32No, no.
14:32Make it up.
14:33I run like a show pony.
14:34I'm going to tell you guys right now.
14:36One day, I'll get you guys up to speed
14:38on the difference between a must win and a statement game.
14:40Because there's a difference.
14:42But if you don't think it's a statement game,
14:43I can't help you.
14:44I can't.
14:44I can't.
14:45It's the second week of the season.
14:46There's no damn statement games on the second week of the season.
14:49Wait, who else has a must win?
14:50You've got a must win week one.
14:52Hey, wait.
14:52I don't have a must win week one.
14:54Did Jets have a must win?
14:56Oh, yeah.
14:56Not week one?
14:57Week one?
14:57Oh, yeah, dude.
15:00Please.
15:02This guy.
15:02So does Baltimore have a must win in week one?
15:05Nah, they were 13-3 last year.
15:06They don't give a shit on anything.
15:07But don't they have to beat Kansas City?
15:09Doesn't Kansas City got minds to fall over them?
15:11They're too proven, both of them.
15:13Wait, wait, wait.
15:13Too proven.
15:14Wait, wait, wait.
15:15Valid point.
15:17The whole problem with Baltimore is
15:18they can't get past Kansas City.
15:20Doesn't matter until the regular season.
15:21It doesn't matter until the postseason.
15:23You're talking about two credential teams.
15:27Until Baltimore does it in a postseason game,
15:29it doesn't matter.
15:30I would laugh if I was Kansas City at them.
15:32It would be like saying if the Dolphins had to beat Kansas City.
15:34Be like, whatever.
15:35Come on, it's Kansas City.
15:37But the divisional games against the divisional champ?
15:40Absolutely.
15:43Try and catch up, guys.
15:44I've been in this sport my whole life
15:46and never been as confused as I am right now with your idiotics.
15:49I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel with you two.
15:51It's like I keep going around and around.
15:53I think I've explained it clearly.
15:54No, first of all, they don't make them that size.
16:01The hamster wheel will be like, hey, Jenny Craig, big fella.
16:09We'd be one arm in it because the other arm got a snack in it.
16:14Move like the Price is Right wheel.
16:16He got a churro in one hand and he's like doing it.
16:19Come on, dude.
16:20It's too early in the season.
