00:00To his fat now, huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he is. I love it. Hey, let me tell you something
00:15First of all, it's offseason
00:20When football starts he'll be right I
00:23Don't want I think this is right to be honest with you. No, I hated the idea of fin tour
00:28I never liked the idea of fin tour. I think it's a terrible decision
00:33He needs more cushion for the pushing throws downfield and I think that to a tongue-of-eye loa should first of all
00:44I hate having these conversations with you
00:48Because you sound ridiculous why?
00:51Bigger doesn't always mean stronger
00:54It's not about stronger
00:55It's a little bit of a little bit of beef on his bones to think again
00:59Just because you're bigger
01:02Doesn't mean you can throw the ball better or harder. Not what I said. Not what I said you did
01:08What I want has nothing to do with arm strength has nothing to do with arm strength one of his problems last year
01:13He got a little too cute. Okay, he had a first full season and he thought now it's on my terms
01:20I don't like being portly. I want to be thin to her. I want to be what does he want to be Marcos?
01:27What in your words?
01:29Mobile terrible decision. No way terrible decision
01:34Chunky to her was a healthy to her. All right, and and and everybody was out here saying nah, nah, nah
01:41Nah, nah, let's get a more agile. Let's have him the wiggle room that he used to have. No stupid
01:48You need to have him sit in his portly ass
01:52Right there in the pocket zinging darts all over the field. I for one I'm happy to see you know, you can give you can get bigger
02:01without
02:02Having a beer belly
02:04Yeah, I don't like it. Just have him be him. You know, you know what?
02:10You know who was who had a terrible body Peyton Manning didn't run a lick sat there in the pocket
02:16alright body of an accountant and
02:19We we never had to see him with his shirt off. Not a problem
02:22This whole getting ripped as a quarterback terrible idea
02:27What does Patrick my homes look like?
02:31He's dad bod extraordinary he's proud of his dad bod
02:34And now to uh, look at this
02:37Partying on a boat this weekend. He's got the beer belly. I love it. Keep him healthy, dude
02:43That is the most important thing this whole running around and scrambling. I mean
02:49Even looking like that. What is your way to 15? Oh
02:52Yeah, he's still not a big boy looks like at least 15 games. That's what that looks like. It looks like a freshman 15
03:01I can't get in these conversations. Why dude because you don't make any damn sense. How does it not make sense?
03:08I told you last year. All right
03:10I'm not doing revisionist history. Like you are doing well you like you're doing with Bob. I said from the jump last year
03:16I hate the idea of a thin Tua because he's gonna get out there and run in the pocket and he's gonna get hurt
03:22So the decision is not his size
03:26The decision is a the the problem is with his decisions. Yeah, but here's the problem. No
03:32No, but here's the problem his size his size played into his decisions. You want to know why because
03:40He felt froggy because he's like, I'm thin now. This means I can go out there and scramble. Hey
03:47Hey, you know Peyton had to get his neck fused, right?
03:52Yeah, but not till the end
03:54So so here's the deal
03:59You can get bigger and
04:03Stronger and gain weight without getting a beer belly
04:10so
04:11to
04:13associate
04:19To us size
04:22With all the things you're associated with is not real accurate. You don't need to get
04:29Well, it is a dead bod
04:32It is that all pounds I have the last two years. I got fat Tua
04:36I got thin Tua thin Tua sucked and always got hurt, but it was
04:40Decisions is not the size of Tua
04:43But here's the thing when you're that size
04:46You don't think I gotta go here and run cuz you can't because you'll run like an armadillo
04:51So he's gonna be sitting there in the pocket just be like, well, I can't run
04:57Let's pause for a brief a brief station identification
05:02because
05:03We gonna let everybody out there
05:07The picture
05:10Because wait Marcos tell me that's not what you did I immediately
05:20So we go pause
05:22Let the fact that you said you want your starting quarterback to run like an armadillo
05:29Which has never been said on radio before I don't want him to run
05:34I never wanted him to run. Hey, I mean runs bad things happen. So the problem is
05:40Not with his body. The problem is with his decision-making, right?
05:47What's out there, but it's a false sense of security when he's thin
05:54Well your sports logic I think my sports logic is sound
05:59Okay, they were I said this last year I'm not I'm not doing the thing where it's like you're changing you you always loved Bob
06:05It was all about gambling. I am out here telling you
06:09Marcos was sitting here like a buffoon. Nope on our radio show sitting
06:16Mobile, I wanted to be
06:18mobile and I said
06:21Stupid because he's gonna get hurt because you want to know why in the history of Tua anytime he was
06:28Mobile he got hurt
06:32Again
06:33Again, you're putting it all on the size of Tua it is and I'm putting it on to his decision-making like really
06:43Really
06:44that's
06:45They're not very elusive. They're hit by cars all the time
06:48I mean, it's basically a big caterpillar or a big snail. What do you call those things?
06:54right
06:56Look at that. So that's what you want to it and run like I don't want him to run
07:00Or do you want to it have the armor of an armadillo? I want him to do that, too
07:03I want him to get back into the jiu-jitsu dojo and I want him to get back on his own
07:07And so can I just point out something?
07:12If he goes back to jiu-jitsu, yep, you do realize he's gonna get small
07:18No, you know, he's gonna be working out. No, he just has to work on first of all, look
07:26We already have the evidence in front of us. He went to jiu-jitsu once a week. Okay, you're not gonna become a black belt
07:32He needs to work on Falls and lands and that's it
07:36alright
07:37immense cardio
07:3930 minutes a week of doing Falls and then I want him to open up the bag of chips
07:45So he slows down and he just stays in the pocket
07:50Okay, you might be the first person in the history of sports talk
07:56that would say I
07:59Want my quarterback to look more like me? Yeah
08:02Yeah, I want him on the field
08:06zinging darts
08:07Throwing babies. He needs to make better decisions and here's the first one. Don't get thin
08:14keep partying on the boat one, two, three Cancun I
08:19Want I want to uh on the pontoon boat all offseason by the way, hey
08:25Let me correct you right there
08:27That boat he's on ain't no pontoon boat upon tune, but I think got steps
08:35And a
08:36Pontoon boat if you dare with friends y'all could all be in the same picture. He is a solo artist on that boat
08:46cheering other people and
08:48They can't be seen. That's a big boat
08:52Yeah, that's good. I
08:54like your logic
08:56You know, I don't sound no. My logic is sound
09:00It's sound. No, it's not it all came down to availability. So so
09:05You're saying that the reason why he was making bad decisions running the football. Mm-hmm
09:13Is because he was too thin
09:15Because it was it was not only that he was too thin
09:18He had this false sense that now that I am thin I can move in the pocket and I can get out and make plays
09:25and extend plays when he can't
09:28Okay, and anytime that he does let me hurt. Let me throw this at you
09:34Don't get more mobile. Here's the the part of sports
09:38that is
09:40hard for people to grasp
09:43That dude's a competitor
09:46Mm-hmm if it's third and two and he's scrambling
09:49He go and try to get the first cool. If he doesn't people gonna have more of a problem with that
09:55Counterpoint. Yeah, if you love competing so much, I'd love you to be available for games to compete
10:00agree
10:02But you also want him to try to get that first
10:04No, not really
10:06Okay. Okay
10:08Marcos Marcos
10:10listen, I'm
10:12Not really, oh if it's third and two and two a scrambling throw
10:16Possibly get that first or give it to a running back any no, and we're past of throwing it to somebody
10:22It's just to a rolling up look
10:26And he has a chance to get the first and he just throws the ball into the dirt
10:32Are you gonna be fine with that? Yes
10:34I
10:41Hate it. Why are you guys? I haven't had these takes you still gotta play football though. He can't he can't do it
10:49He can't hold up. He's got a baby bird brain
10:55That's what happens every single time
10:57Why do we have to act like we haven't watched this guy play football and get hurt like that many many times
11:03Not for nothing
11:06Leroy if we have this conversation
11:08Another segment you're gonna go through all the farm animals because you call him a baby bird in the armadillo
11:15He is
11:16The facts are he's fragile and the you need to keep that fragility in a place that is safe
11:22And where is it safe in the pocket and roll it out and make it plays is not good for business and not good for Tua
11:29And I would I would run I would say to you
11:35That the first time is third and two at a pivotal point in the game if he doesn't try to get that first
11:42Then everybody's gonna be on to about that. Well, dude, hey, guess what?
11:47The good thing is he's dealt with people being on him the entirety of his career. So the damage is done on that already
11:54Why don't we keep him healthy for 1617 games damage is done
11:58You still gotta play football
12:01He's got him. He's gotta make he's got to make better decisions and how he goes about it, but you still got to compete
12:08Okay, but because at any point in time
12:11If he doesn't try to get a first or try to get a touchdown or whatever
12:17That comes across as this and here's what we're gonna hear. Oh, he got that money. He don't care no more
12:23Okay, but we know that's not the case because you want
12:26We know this anybody who says that would be stupid because he got the money last year and he made two terrible decisions last year
12:33Where he threw his neck into Damar Hamlin? Okay, he almost did it three times by the way on a pick
12:40He tried to do it again. That was stupid. And then the other one against the Texans where he got crunched by that 300 fella
12:47Cuz he was trying to get a first down. Okay, I'm just trying to I'm just trying to bring real to this conversation
12:55Because I've been in that environment
12:58I've I've seen how people react to things like this and I'm telling you if it's third and two and
13:06Two it throws it away
13:08To protect himself or to not make a bad decision that he's gonna get heat for that. Who's he gonna get heat from his teammates?
13:17Because if anybody gives him heat while they do the meetings that week and they show that highlight the next one should be Skylar Thompson
13:23Highlights and then everybody remember, you know what to it. That was the right call
13:30Make them think like that. All right. All right. I'm just look again
13:36Soft I'm telling you it's as banged up as I've ever been
13:42and
13:44Going on to a football field
13:46When a situation presents itself, I'm trying to compete dude
13:52Even if physically I
13:54Can't believe it. Why would you get caught up in the game? You ain't thinking like that
13:59Well, he needs to be thinking like that because you want to know something that but here's the facts you can't
14:04Treat him like other quarterbacks because he can't hold up like other quarterbacks, but that's I'm not I
14:13Understand it. I listen I get what you're trying to do
14:19But what I'm saying is this
14:22When you get in that competitive environment
14:27You sometimes forget what you can and can't do and you're just trying to win and
14:33When you don't make those decisions, I give you a perfect example
14:39We still talking about Cam Newton not diving for that ball
14:42Yeah in the Super Bowl
14:44Well, why not? Why why?
14:47Because it was at the Super Bowl and it was one of those things where you're like he's going after it
14:51But Cam Newton did not have a huge history of head injuries. Yeah, but
14:56Again, now we're now we're picking and choosing what situations look right?
15:00Choosing it's the Leroy. He said last year. I no longer want to be the face of concussions because the facts are he is
15:07Correct. I agree
15:09Every time to it gets hit. Everybody goes start type of ventilating in Miami
15:13So why are we acting like this? This guy doesn't have to be treated different and think think different on the field
15:19He should he tried to do it your way last year didn't work. What do you mean? Tried to do it my way?
15:24He did Leroy what you're saying right now competing being a football correct getting the extra yard
15:31It is the thing that cost him two stints of the season last year doing that, right?
15:36Two stints of the season last year doing that, right, correct, correct
15:41um, I
15:43Don't I can't say I know don't know what the answer is because I'm gonna tell you from an athlete's perspective
15:52If you ever get the if you ever give the appearance
15:56That you are not competing or trying to win
16:01Fans will turn on you
16:04That's a fact all I'm saying for him more brewskis less kale this offseason I
16:10Don't think he was ever eating the kale brother
16:15To it does not look like a kale eater. What about arugula?
16:20It's kale family
16:22Right, dude. I got
16:26Somebody told me they had a salad with
16:28Arugula and kale in it and I'm like listen instead of spending $12 for that salad come over to my house
16:35I got some grown in my backyard
