Favor smash that like button I’m sure it’s going to affect me with my friend Al algorithm because going live twice in a day is never a good thing with the algorithm but first of all I want to start off the show and I want to shout

Out myself and I just had one of the biggest retail card polls for my personal collection of my life your boy never hit a downtown yet before yesterday today I went over I scoop two boxes of Don Ross football 2023 six packs in each and I you know

Here we go couple packs in and your boy goes off and let me see if I can if that’ll affect it or whatever but your boy goes off and pulls a downtown Dan Marino I mean this is my first ever downtown pull for all you people that

Know cards you know how big of a card this is and your boy pulled a Marino of out of anyone I could have pulled I pulled a Dan Marino all right out of anyway I’m not even lying okay CU you know I watch card Breakers I’m in the

Card so I know what a downtown looks like I know what the back of a downtown looks like so I’m flipping through and it was a second card from the back and it was flipped backwards and I noticed if you see here I’ll do it again if you

See how that back looks see how it’s kind of like the Dolphins are in kind of like a street sign type of thing right so I saw that I’m like oh my God I just hit a downtown and then all I saw was the O

All I saw was yo I’m like oh I’m like okay so I pulled the card off the back and then I just flipped it and I was like whole I put it down and I took a walk around my office cuz I was like are you serious right now I just pulled my

First ever downtown and a anyone it was a Dan Marino like talk about the stars aligning for a Dolphin fan opening Don Ross football so I’ve had some big ones lately I had a Patrick ctin out of 10 Auto out of Mosaic I had a blue aain uh

A Chan NFL debut out of mik I’ve been a uh non-d dophins players have been in uh Anthony Richardson magnet this year but I’ve been magnet for dolphins cards this this year I don’t know why like I mean I opened what two blasters and I mean just

Look at all the dolphins I got out of it I mean I got Tua I got Tyreek I got two Bradley chubs you know like just dolphin magnet right now I don’t know what’s going on so feeling that feeling that and no it is not for sale it is not going nowhere

Been like a CJ Stout that’s like a $2,000 card that’s like a $300 card us uh the Marino but if it was a strad I’m talking like two grand and if I get that thing PSA 10 I’m talking some serious money um all right now Knight comes through and he says am

I the only one under the impression that these guys on ESPN are giving points to argue this follows Shannon’s thoughts on to uh Sammy Parker you know it’s a weird vibe for me man it’s a weird vibe for me with Shannon because and like obviously we’re going

To get into it man I’ve watched you sit up there and absolutely just defend the hell out of this guy I I I I I I I don’t get it at all I mean you know he used to be on the bandwagon so anyways um not looking good

For Sue I don’t think anything right now you know it was reported yesterday nothing was imminent and that sure is the case I I don’t think uh it doesn’t look like noic and Sue I mean I heard some crazy numbers that he wanted just for these this final stretch here so um

Uh I don’t think he’s I do not think nadic and Sue is going to be reunited now if his asking price comes down he’s willing to take the vet minimum let’s have a conversation but uh you know I’ve heard Sue is asking for crazy money just for

The final um couple games now I had a patreon update and I also had a YouTube channel member only update that I posted for y’all yesterday listen um Tyreek we’re gon to get into him here but you know that I was kind of telling y’all now here thing I have a

Really good update on there about Miami’s front office and the Christian Wilkins negotiations right now go take a look at that the offensive line ladies and gentlemen I mean we could very well be dealing with a because leam Michael’s not a starter technically right it might be another

Week I I’m trying I’m working to try and find uh news on Austin Jackson um you know I was told hunt probably another week at least um now I think Hunt’s going to try and push to go pregame a lot of players that are 60 70% are going to push the go even

Guys that are in the 50% because of this game with Dallas I’m telling you right now you’re going to get guys that are going to push themselves to go you got a guy like Holland with two MCL sprins I’m telling you if he’s feeling just okay he’s going to push to try and

Go now I’m hoping things change with Robert hunt throughout the week and it gets better but he was not practicing today either was Austin Jackson even Lester cotton popped up on the injury report with a hip injury So you know I don’t know man it’s uh not pretty shout out to Monroe Clark have you seen ESPN playoff prediction article for the rest of the season no I have not I don’t think I have let me look here have I no I have not nope I have not seen that

Um so no let me know in the chat Monroe put it in the chat right now let me know what did they predict now you’re gonna make me search while I’m on while I’m live to find this article aren’t you I know you are but I don’t know what you’re I have not

Seen the article you’re talking about Scotty that’s a real possibility I mean I reported here a couple weeks ago I thought it’d be the he’d try and come back for that final two game the final two game stretch but I I’m G to tell you something I want to hear in the chat

Listen I want to hear in the chat I want to know your thoughts on this let me lay out a scenario for you guys okay I want to let I want to hear your guys thoughts in the chat whether you’re watching this live whether you’re watching it after

The fact I want to hear your thoughts on this that Bills game if we have the AFC East locked up if we have say the second seed locked up let’s just say let’s put that in that perspective are you resting your starters if that first if you cannot win the first

Seed are you resting your starters because I would be listen here’s my thing here’s my thing listen I would 110% be down with beating the bills I mean I want that win 110% but guys we’re seeing some serious injuries here like this is not a joke

Right now I mean guys are sneezing and going down guys are sneezing and going down right now I found that article thanks to uh um rhyo I’ll bring it up here in a second I appreciate that rhyo we’ll bring it up in a second here but guys are sneak

Sneezing and going down I mean I just glanced at this and I saw their scenario and I’ll tell you right now if this scenario played out God help us one and number two yeah I’m resting I mean like what do you I know everyone wants to beat the bills we beat them at

Home last year they got nothing to prove to me at home they got nothing to prove to me at home I we I know we can beat them at home but man we need healthy bodies I’m telling you if that one seed is Out Of

Reach and the ASC is locked up I’m sorry man I’m sorry but we’ll see we’ll see it’s just my my whole thing is I I’m just I’m sorry ladies and gentlemen I I’m watching guys drop like flies reek could use the rest Armstead could use the rest clearly Austin

Jackson and Robert hunt could use the rest Liam Berg could even use the rest hell you could start Zach you could start Harris in that game right Wadd could use the rest he’s played banged up for the first half of the Season X could use the rest I’m sure

Jaylen Ramsey can use the rest he’s pushed himself since he’s come back from injury and he’s played phenomenal I’m just saying I don’t know man if if we can’t get that first seed in the final week what the hell are we play like and the AFC East is locked

Up what are we playing for right now we’re just resting we’re risking our guys for pride and ego it just don’t make sense to me for that it really don’t but now if the first seat is on the table baby let it ride whoop that ass in the rock all day

Start everyone do to them what they did to you Tua as a rookie light them up in that first half so Mike White can come in like Matt Barkley did for them and go off that’s what I’m saying so I’m down for that at the First seed’s on don’t

Get me wrong go after that first seed but man we got to be healthy for the playoffs man I’m thinking about the run here and we got guys just dropping like flies and it it’s it’s not a good situation it’s not a good situation right now all right let’s get into that

I find out that article you were talking about all right so here’s the es I got a couple ESPN articles we’re going to go over then today here oh let me fix that let me fix that one sec guys um by the way it’s not going to be good don’t get

Excited that’s all I got to say don’t get excited for what we’re about to go over first get excited later but don’t get excited about the first ESPN article so this is what they say they say with only 48 games remaining uh This Is How They

See it playing out all right so they projected week 16 scores uh they think the Miami Dolphins are going to lose 31 to 26 and on the flip side they think Buffalo is going to win 33-27 um so right here the Cowboys beat the Dolphins while the Bills beat the

Chargers increas in the pressure on Miami with the bills bearing down on the AFC East I mean this big bad I don’t get it all right I don’t get it so but then Miami goes into Baltimore and wins 28 to 24 and the Bills beat the Patriots

3521 so you’re saying we have the US and the Chiefs have the best home field winning percentage since November 2021 so we’re talking 37 months us and the Chiefs have the best home win percentage over the last 37 months we’re going to lose to the Cowboys who are a terrible Road team

This year I mean they’re even breaking it down on funny enough on ESPN this morning about how the crowd noise affects Dak Prescott it can’t you know he’s got to play off silent cadences he can’t communic and shift as much as he wants to they’re talking about this but we’re

Supposed to go into Baltimore and beat the Ravens yeah we’re not going to handle our business at home please if we are beating the Ravens in Baltimore we are beating the Cowboys at home sorry anyways the top of the AC became even murkier after the Dolphins defeat the Ravens giving Baltimore a second

They’re just trying to get the Chiefs to the top spot that’s all they’re trying to do I see your game that’s why we lost but then all of a sudden beat the Ravens I see your game all right projected week 18 scores all right so here we go Bills

Beat us at home when they lost us at home yesterday last year they beat us 2724 okay and let me guess the Chiefs won let me guess the Chiefs win or do they have them losing here they have them losing yeah they have them losing to the

Chargers okay so the Chiefs stumbled and the Ravens took advantage by so they got the Ravens getting the number one seed all right so this is how they have it the Ravens as the one seed the CH the Chiefs at two all these teams tied at 11 and

Six they have six te I can almost guarantee you it doesn’t work out like that thank you very much they have six teams tied at 11 and six and the bills winning the AFC East what are these guys smoking I can almost guarantee you it doesn’t look like that there’s no way I

Can almost guarantee you that looks like way too AI generated who wrote this article all right bills steal the AFC East Dolphins fall to number seven seed okay let’s explain a statistical Oddity happening here remember when he said we’re working for the most common precise set of all seven seeds in the

Conference as of this writing the Dolphins are clearly favored to win the division with a 69% shot compared to the bills 31% but when Miami wins the Division its projections are split pretty evenly between the first second and third seeds with a slight chance at number four when Buffalo wins the

Division is most likely to end up the fourth seed that plus some Randomness meant the most common set of seeds included the bills winning the AFC East now back to simulation number 5,639 what happened here is not far-fetched Buffalo beat the Chargers and the Patriots and the Dolphins lost

To the Cowboys and beat the Ravens to set up a game for the division in week 18 Buffalo had already beaten Miami once so it had to head tiebreaker if it won and it did yeah and we beat them at home last year okay so so I mean what now so

Then they have us playing the Chiefs I mean you know I mean so what you know the in the ESPN offices they didn’t did a bunch of opium and played random simulator on the playoffs is that what happened is that what went down is that what we’re trying to explain give me a

Break anyways I think we’re going to win at least two of these last three so that’s where I’m at and I say that with confidence and there’s a lot of people I know who you wouldn’t expect they think we’re going to win out so yes Monroe we just covered it

That was terrible I agree with your throw up emojis 110% shout out to Monroe I mean that makes me want to vomit that’s terrible so let’s get into this we got a lot to cover all right so what are we going to do we’re going to start off

We’re going to play the clip from yesterday about two talking about keeping receipts we’ll react to it then we’re going to get into the Shannon clip Shannon sharp clip from today please do me the favor I got demonetized yesterday for playing the Mike McDaniel clip

During um uh uh the finish line so smash the like button subscribe if you’re new because I might get demonetized today again two in a row Merry Christmas to me so smash that like button subscribe if you’re new let’s hop into that and um yeah let’s let’s go in chronological order here so

Let’s start off with Tua keeping receipts and what he said because you know he’s talking to listen I had people you know listen I said it last week I spoke with a prominent Miami Dolphin player okay there’s a few people in this community to know who exactly that

Player was okay I always put my receipts out there but anyways trust me when I say they see it all they hear it all I I had a part of the conversation I had was about that all right they hear it all they see it

All trust me so when two is saying he keeps receipts this man is not lying to you at all at all all right they hear it even when they’re telling listen a lot of them do a great job of blocking it out but there’s still stuff that squeezes

Through the cracks they hear it they hear it I’m telling you the good and the bad I don’t want to just say they just focus on the negative they hear the good and they hear the bad okay so that’s all I’m going to say so when he when you

Listen to what Tu is about to say keep that in mind that’s all that’s the whole reason I even brought that up preface it trust me all right so listen I mean I didn’t even need a player to tell me that Nick Hicks let me know that I didn’t even

Need a player to confirm that for me but I did but I did have that happen so it is what it is so let let’s let’s get into this all right so this is to uh you know talking about keeping receipts a little bit here so let’s talk about this

I keep saying everyone wants to make this about me about Tyreek like please keep pushing it to Tyreek like make it about Tyreek I understand that my platform and who I am in this league as a quarterback makes me it’s true if you want polarizing whether I’m the best

Whether I’m the worst like I could care less like I don’t listen to it this is my bearer of B news and noan I hate to say it I hate to say that but that’s my bearer of bad news if anyone has something to if if anyone has something

Bad to say about me but at the end of the day like I I really don’t care but if she does share it with me I mean I keep receips we all we all have have have a way of how we do things but like all the narratives about it I am yeah

Sure I am only good with tyreen i that you’re right I am that is the only time I at my best best um you’re right I’m only good when jaylen’s in I I I could care less about it like sure uh if Jaylen and those guys are not like I’m

Only as good as Raheem moard allows me to be like that’s that’s what the narrative needs to be and we’re able to win games and we’re able to go where we want to go as a team I am the worst football player if that’s what you want

Like I don’t care like I really don’t so whatever it is whatever you need on your show like take Clips out out of what just said do it do what you need to do like that I’m just here to do my job and my job is to help our guys

When listen he he ain’t wrong he’s just here to do his job and his job is to help his guys win games he ain’t wrong 17-9 with hill 15-8 without Hill 65.3% with hill 65.2% without Hill 63.6 win percentage with Flores 66.6% win percentage without him under

Mike Miami with Tua has a 65.3% win percentage during the Tua era when Tua is not on the field the Miami Dolphins have a 42.8% win percent I mean we’re talking about a 23% dip when Tu is not on the field in terms of win percentage Dolphins QBs with as many

Starts as Tua in this Fran to has the highest winning percentage 4% higher than Marino 4.6% higher than greasy almost a full 20% higher than Ryan tanel D has the second best winning percentage of his draft class 65.3% Joe burrow has a 55.8% Herbert has a 48.4% Jordan love has a 40% only

Jaylen Herz has a better better winning percentage and it’s only about 3 and a half% better than Tua and that’s because he joined a N9 and seven Team all the other teams we mentioned there with the Bengals the Chargers they were rebuilding like the Dolphins right only momes Lamar

Garoppolo Herz and Pie who has a very small sample size he hasn’t started as many games as Tua have better winning percentages in the NFL right now than Tua career win percentages oh yeah you’re right to all you do is win and I’m here to remind people of that all

You do is win you’re a freaking walking DJ khed song brother all you do is win win win so people want to pick and choose who you win against but no matter how you slice it I’m taking a guy with a like a 66% sorry a 65% career win percentage

AG are you kidding me W’s I saw people well we beat the bills last year by the skinnier teeth I don’t care how many points you beat him by you beat him W how long have be waiting for that W Tua didn’t get to play him a second

Time Tua would have beat them in the playoffs handily with how we performed with Skyler back there who are we kidding and again I don’t get why people are so mad about two a keeping receipts people had no problem with no on Ross St Brown was out here saying

Well I’m keeping receipts on all those teams that didn’t draft me listen here’s the fact of the matter when it comes to a tongue of AA here’s the cold hard facts no matter how you want to slice it only Patrick Mahomes has more yards after completions only Mahomes and pery average more

Yak but also Tua has the most completions of 50 plus yards that travel 20 plus air yards he has the ninth highest percentage of attempts of 15 plus yards he has the fourth best completion percentage on throws of 20 plus yards he has the highest percentage of touchdowns to attempts on throws of

20 plus yards and he six in completion percentage over expectation on throws of 20 plus yards you know every year every offseason you remember how it comes out and they chart everyone’s you know throwing the Deep passing and all that you know those charts that come out

Every year Tu is going to be crushing it this year so listen I appreciate appreciate the sarcasm I appreciate him letting everyone know but you know he’s right too who cares what these people say the end you know the end goal is the championship I mean and this is the

First year he’s really ever had a rushing attack he never had this before since Bama and look at how good he was at Bama when he had a Russian attack go ask the Chiefs if the Broncos are a good team we put up 70 on them let me know

What momes did against the Broncos and if they’re a good team so I mean I’ve had JT O Sullivan from the QB school come on here and praise to a Tong aloa I mean you know what’s left to be said man the kid’s the kid is

Fire the kid was back to MVP form see everyone forgets because we lost but everyone wants to forget why we lost again in last December in Buffalo when everyone was worried about snow Tu was one of the best players on either team on the field sherfield and Tyreek Hill dropped

Sure touchdowns would have changed the outcome of the game Josh Boer get up a third and 17 and a touchdown before the end of the half if any one of those things change what happens we beat them in Buffalo in the snow it wasn’t tu’s fault we

Lost Tua before the C concussion against Green Bay Aaron Rogers wasn’t even in his realm he was destroying Aaron Rodgers then he got concussed and tried to play through it and his game dipped I mean I’d love to see all of you guys play quarterback let alone play it with a

Concussion would love it I mean I need a good laugh and I’m not even talking about y’all playing with the concussion all you haters hell I need a good laugh I’d just like to see a video of y’all throwing a football that’d be good stuff so you can say what you

Want numbers don’t lie 60 60 65.3 win percentage 32 and 17 guess what same exact win percentage as Josh Allen same exact win percentage as Josh Allen identical but y’all are G to come out here and goooo Gaga over Josh Allen’s traits right by the way let me know what Josh

Allen was before Stefan Diggs arrived while what was two tongue of Loa doing how many of you didn’t want us to get rid of Mike Kiki how many in my oh M got a p guy keep this guy first of all where’s Miki now in terms of what is he doing

Secondly go look at miki’s number go look at his numbers go look at his career best years who’s the quarterback who is the quarterback all of y’all Lyn Bowen oh my God I love Lyn Bowen oh and man I love Linn bow too but there were people legitimately mad

When we cut that man where’s that guy now on a practice squad somewhere but what happened Tua made Lyn Bowen into something all of y’all fallen in love with Lyn Bowen because of Tua Malcolm Perry you remember all y’all there were people in this family I love Malcolm

Perry what is Mal Perry offer me blah blah blah blah blah he only ever got anything out of his career under Tu a tongue of aloa all these no buies all of these not even like speckles in the wind in terms of the NFL landscape and Tua made something out of

Them so much that we had people in our fan base defending this guy these guys who and a lot of them some of them especially the kassi fans some of them weren’t even do a lot of them weren’t even Tua fans literally that’s the definition of elevating people around you this guy has

Made chicken salad out of chicken and then he finally gets some weapons I mean look at Jaylen Wadd Jaylen Wadd is a rookie I would come up here every week and complain because we had a coaching staff that didn’t know how to use him would I

Not right I would complain all the time everything was either the line of scrimmage or within like seven or eight yards for Jaylen Wadd to the point by the end of the season four guys would collapse on him and they would just take that away we didn’t even know how to use Jaylen

Wadd as an offense but what did Tua do despite bad game planning despite bad play design despite bad offensive coaching W will set rookie wide receiver records for this franchise man it’s unbelievable it’s it I’ve never met a quarterback in my life who’s not allowed to ever have an off

Day until this fan base and some of the people fan base came across to a Tong of as they starting quarterback so Shannon sharp he decided to clap back at two a keeping receipts let’s get into it let’s play It smash that like button 500 of

You in the room this is what Shannon sharp danowski and that whole whole whole little crew had to say and Miami went and got him because that was G and I’m not saying they should go help because remember Tua had an allar look at receivers he was throwing to name one

Receiver outside of John mie that did not go in the first round that two would throw to at Alabama rugs Judy Wadd Devonte Smith and only two of them are good in order in Miami doph for him to out of the NFL we need to go get that

Type of talent here in Miami and I got no problem with that I got no problem with that look LSU exactly I’m saying but stop this notion like he’s Dan Marino stop this notion that he’s Patrick mahes but I don’t think people I don’t think real quick but before he

Jump I don’t he’s not talking like he’s D Marino but we talk about Tu like he’s me no no he what Woody did he not say he’s trying to be sarcastic I’m the worst quarterback ever oh yada y nobody said you the worst quarterback yes D disagree with that that’s what he take

Off with yeah I I couple things here number one I know you uh I know the the Jets are a big punching back but their defense is actually one of the best they got arguably the two best corner you know two three best corners as a secondary in the league and two just

Torched torch that secondary last week so I got to give them credit for that but I think my bigger point when we talk about Tua and the way Tua was talking at the podium it’s really a byproduct of what Mike McDaniels has done with t as far as rebuilding him as a player

Rebuilding his confidence because it was was never about his talent like two of Tong of valo is one of the most talented leag question about two since he’s came in the league has been what injuries Health it’s been Health he’s finally when Mike McDaniels came in there’s been two things that he’s done

Number one he’s been he’s trying to prioritize keeping Tu uptight I mean upright Y and then number two and more importantly rebuilding the person the man into his confidence because he saw like all like most of us saw how talented this guy is this is one of the most accurate quarterbacks that’s coming

In the National Football League in quite some time and I think Mike McDaniels has come in and has rebuilt T and its confidence and to me that’s what I saw at the podium it wasn’t that he was being disparaging well disparaging the media or anything like that he was just

Simply saying like look I’m a pretty damn good quarterback y’all might say all these type of things but check the tape like Miami had dunked on them the week before they gave up 32 to the the Buffalo Bills and that was an unbelievable performance by Josh

Allen you see you see what you do every time the Jazz defense get cooked it takes an unbelievable performance from someone else it takes an unbelievable performance by this number but but Shannon the numbers don’t lie the [Applause] numers hold on but you know what but you

Know but you know what sh but you know what sh say listen I’m not I’m not trying to bring the Jets into this this is to me more speaking to Tua and his confidence and what Mike McDaniel has done with Tua in the in the years that they’ve been working together I don’t

Look at what Tua did as disparaging or self-centering I’m just looking at the man has has has been infused with a lot of confidence and he’s playing with a lot of confidence and he’s playing like one of the best quarterbacks that we have in our league right now how did how

Did how did to a look against Tennessee uh he played okay he played okay no no no who whoa whoa I said he was Med you how did two a look against Tennessee I need you to say he look great I don’t need you to pause look up

To the left hold on so we so so we so we we can n pick any quarterback in this league we can know we can NP pick any quarterback have the same I want you no I want you to have the same verado step to the podium and talk like you talk

Against Tennessee how did he look against Kansas City he played good right he played good in that game the man’s really he played good he did wow I called both those games Shannon play okay against Tennessee and he play goodas City not great here’s the thing here’s the thing we couch everything

With Tua get to 21 point we couch everything with every quarterback de Dam yes we do no we don’t we don’t we don’t couch we don’t couch things when we talk about like three or four of the quarterbacks in the NFL name who name who do we couch things when Jos plays

Great do we couch stuff with like Steph do we when play great with Patrick Mahomes with Dak Prescott we say well who is Dak doing this to he’s beating up on the Giants he’s beating up on the commander I’m talking about I’m not talking about like in regards to that

Shannel what I’m saying is when Tua plays well it’s always through like looking through tua’s performance vantage point of oh Tyreek had seven for a buck 50 it’s never man to have played so great that Tyreek was a benefit of it it’s almost like and this isn’t a knock

On reek he’s unbelievable but it’s always through the well Tyreek played great and to a benefited off of it it’s never flipped because because the thing is is that we saw Tyreek without Tua and we saw Tua without Tyreek on the roster and Tyreek was an allpro and was was the

Was on his way to be a Hall of Famer before he before he went to Miami huh was he playing with the quarterback he was playing with Patrick Mahomes I saw I saw saw him I saw him with check down Alex Smith too okay so before Tyreek got

There give me the three receivers Tua was thrown to I think I think he had W I think Wadd no uh uh Sammy Parker I think the guy Dev Sammy Parker Parker yeah Devonte Parker he’s in New England now doesn’t even know Devonte Parker’s name

Hold on hold on I thought you said hold on hold on Woody you and doo I thought you say quarterbacks raise the level of play of wide receivers they don’t do that now I don’t think they do it nearly as much as they used to no no no not

Nearly that’s not what you said I said that for years Shannon I have said that for years it’s no longer that Elite quarterbacks just completely Elevate the things around them because of the rules and the schematic changes in the NFL this is what Kansas City did in many

Ways it’s really the people around the quarterback elevating that and you know what and you want me to tell you the tail tell sign of that look look at how the wi receivers are getting paid now these wi receivers are you you get we are sh hey Shay you know this you people

These organizations pay who they prioritize what positions they prioritize they prioritize wide receivers cuz these wide receivers are coming to Le and elevating these guys and why are they prior prioritizing wide receivers because the game because of the rules change so therefore they’re going to prioritize that so now it’s

Easier for why receivers to get open because they play in more space the defensive receiver the incidental contact so it should be easier accuracy means more am I correct 100% accurate yes okay so a lot to unpack there a lot to unpack there okay Shannon you didn’t

Sound so sharp on a lot of those arguments first of all I used to watch you on FS1 go up and defend the hell out of this kid against skip bis so I don’t know what happened and who pissed in your corn flakes where went what wrong

Whatever um I mean I I’ve gone over this before I use Tom Brady as the perfect example all right now if you go look at Tom Brady you know go pull up Tom Brady’s numbers he’s the perfect example right now so Tom Brady go look at his numbers before and after Randy

Moss just go look at them and you will notice a ma just look at the touchdowns just go look at the touchdowns all right I’ll do it for you they got Randy Moss in 2007 all right the most touchdowns he had thrown as a and remember he had been six years as a

Starter before he got that all right before he got Randy Moss Tom Brady had been a starter in the league for six years he had never even thrown 30 touchdowns he had come close twice 28 but he had never even even thrown 30 touchdowns what happens Randy Moss comes he throws 50 in

The first year then he gets hurt the next year comes back the year after throws 28 then 36 39 34 25 33 36 28 32 29 24 40 43 but did you see how he all of a sudden after Randy Moss left started throwing in the 30s and highers much

More regularly and I’ve talked about this quarterbacks learn from Elite receivers like what Dan Orosi and them were saying is not a lie that’s why and I brought this up that’s why he’s throwing 30 plus with guys like Julian Edelman right and 30 plus with guys like Wes Welker and not Randy Moss

Because he’s learned from playing with Randy Moss and developed his game from playing with Randy Moss that that’s helped him not only grow as a quarterback but he can pass those things on to new receivers hey Randy used to do this this used to work for me and Randy blah blah blah blah

Blah do you see where I’m going with that this like this is fundamental stuff here like this is not anything ground breaking or Earth shattering that I’m saying but why is it certain people get pastes and other people don’t when the numbers slap you right in the face the production slaps you right

In the face I don’t know man it’s just uh it’s really weird it’s really really weird how certain people get excuses and you know I brought this up remember I sat up here you can go find it go find the preseason round table from the offseason where they got digs and I

Said Josh Allen’s going to become a much better quarterback They just added one of the better route Runners and one of the best catch radius guys in the NFL watch how this how Josh Allen’s going to grow and improve watch I had people in the chat oh reason silently a Bills fan

Someone get reason a bills Jersey I’ll never forget it I brought this story up multiple times and here’s the thing two was already from a pocket standpoint not from a tradeit standpoint from a pocket standpoint from a passing standpoint from a standpoint as a passer to was

Already ahead of where Allen was when Allan got Diggs compared to when to a got reek I already went over it people in this fan base fell in love with Lyn bound Jr why to a Tong of aloa Mike aiki all of you that want us to

Resign him why his best production came under Tua tongue of aloa Preston Williams remember how good Preston Williams looked before he got hurt with Tua remember how good they look together now Preston would jump a little too much in the Red Zone but I mean remember how good they looked I’ve seen

Tua make chicken salad out of chicken so much you know so and technically this should be our third straight year of the playoffs because if you go back to 2021 we should have won that Atlanta game sure he threw two picks but then he ended up throwing four touchdowns and he

Had a crazy fourth quarter and left and and handed the ball to Brian Flores in our Championship defense at the time that people were claiming we had with a two-point lead and they gave the middle of the field up to Kyle Pitts and we lost or take it the prior week when

Flores lost to Urban Meyer embarrassingly on again the final drive for Jacksonville because our coach got out coached in the final two minutes of back-to-back games we missed the playoffs against easy teams like teams that were easier to beat than the Titans were but everyone wants to point at the

Titans but two a haters are Flor as supporters so they they they try and you know pull the veil and make yall forget about that one right unbelievable by the way they were right I and I said don’t let anyone fool you that Jets passing defense was number

Two in the NFL they were number five in total defense in the NFL heading into that game but as a passing defense they were number two they’re only allowing 167.5 yards per game two we got 60 of those 167 that they allow per game off one pass the waddle please so

Anyways Shannon you’re off your rocker I don’t know what to tell you I don’t know what to tell you shout out to ESPN go back this one will make you a little bit happier ESPN just dropped an article and they went position by position so they listed they

Have the most accurate passer in the NFL right now is currently to a Tong of aloa tongo has completed 71% of his passes this season the best in league and only 13.2% of his throws have been off Target his ability to deliver the ball with the both both accuracy and precise location

Is an ideal fit for Mike McDaniel’s pass game hey man when people were talking about wanting to see tooa and Shawn Payton’s offense I was over here saying nope Shanahan offense all day strongest arm they give it to Josh Allen best deep ball they’ve given it to CJ

Stad um best touch and timing they’ve given it to Brock pie now I think you could argue that with to it for sure uh best passing mechanics they give it to burrow best pocket footwork Brock py again I think you give it to Tua quickest release they’ve given it to TU

A Tong Bowa his average time before a pass um sits is at 20 point uh sorry 2.38 seconds best field Vision Kirk Cousins most instinctive passer Mahomes best decision maker Dak Prescott best pocket presence see I think that’s two again I think Tu is and po two and

Pocket presents and I would also give Tua uh I think you go pery or Tua in touch and timing so I’m not even gonna argue that but I think pocket footwork Tua it it’s ridiculous right and they’re just using a qbr from inside the pocket that’s not a

Footwork statistic that’s grab a number and try and fit it to a narrative that’s not a footwork statistic all right best off platform passer Lamar Jackson not going to hear an argument top dual threat Lamar Jackson best scrambler Patrick Mahomes toughest QB Matt Stafford most competitive Jaylen Herz

Now fastest rusher in the NFL they have a Devon aan most explosive they have Raheem ARD for aan as the fastest they save with 4-3 speed H Chan’s a home run hitter in the Miami backfield he has two touchdown runs of 65 yards or more this season and both plays rank amongst the

NFL six fastest top speeds of ball carries this season 21.8 and 22 miles hour per nextg stats most explosive Runner they have Raheem Moser a rapid accelerator with straight line acceleration he has 28 Rush of 10 or more yards this season third in the league most powerful they have Derrick

Henry best contact balance David Montgomery man a don’t sleep on H’s contact balance most sudden rusher beon Robinson most elusive Christian mcaffrey ah man Christian mcaffrey should probably be in best contact I mean Christian’s just such a monster best rushing Vision instincts I’d give that

To mcaffry too but they give it to Alvin chra bus ball security latavius Murray best receiving back Christian best pass protecting back Tony Pard best route Runner Justin Jefferson in the NFL fastest pass catcher is Tyreek Hill the most dynamic offensive player in the league since Randy Moss heill has a

Consistent big play threat due to 4-2 speed heill has 26 receptions that gain at least 20 yards this season the most in the NFL and looking at the 12th fastest top speeds for ball carries this season the hills shows up four times most explosive pass catcher meaf the

Most physical pass catcher they have AJ Brown most sudden pass catcher Stefon Diggs most elusive is cidi best hands Aman Ross St Brown best instincts Travis Kelce best at getting open Keenan Allen I’ve been saying he’s such a good route runner for years uh best on 5050 balls George Pickins

So look at top in motion pass catcher Tyreek Hill gotta love that keeping going here for um more dolphins look at Quinn Myers could have had him bro second H that hurts that hurts the heart man that hurts the heart that hurts the heart so oh yeah we ain’t get I mean

Should we not have the best run blocking um they’re not giving it to us so um but they have the best coverage instincts they gave to Jaylen Ramsey they said Ramsay is still a blue chip Defender with the coverage awareness to bait the quarterback or jump into throwing Lanes despite playing only

Seven games of season has three picks and a pass breakup and so as you can see I’m just scrolling so you guys can see if you want to look back because I think it’s behind a pay wall for you guys um but there you go those are the Dolphins so

Tyreek Hill rahee Moser Devon a chain Jaylen Ramsey and Tu a Tong of aloa make the ESPN list um now continuing on here um there’s an article from Barry Jackson I wanted to go over for you guys uh has injury updates from today as well as kind of

Dives into the numbers here so let’s hop into that this is definitely behind a pay wall for you guys it’s one thing to spend lavishly on a team that’s a legitimate Super Bowl Contender it’s quite another to spend lavishly on a team that’s not and that’s why the Dolphins handling of the nment

Of their season this murderous roow of Dallas Baltimore and buffalo following very likely by the playoffs will be so significant in shaping critical decisions that will go all the way up to owner Steven Ross’s desk if this team proves beginning Sunday against the Cowboys and in the

Weeks to come that it could make a legitimate Super Bowl run it would be sensible for Ross to spend whatever it takes to keep this group together while being cap compliant if not all bets are off from a spending standpoint Ross has been the model owner per over the cap

The Dolphins are the eighth in the league in total cash spending the season at 263.50 million they’ve already they’re already fourth for 2024 at 29.4 million even with seven starters and linebacker van GLE unsigned for next season already 40.8 million above the cap for next year

The Dolphins could figure out a way to keep most of their top players by restruction contracts and utilizing other creative math that would include paying Christian Wilkins a long-term contract that would top 90 million Ross has paid whatever it takes to feeli the best team that his front office can

Craft but can he justify financing one of the League’s highest payrolls if the Dolphins flame out over the next month Dolphins fans who pay attention to cap space might have been startled to see the dolphins suddenly standing at 40 million over the 2024 cap an even worse scenario than earlier over the cap.com

Projections that had had the franchise about about 20 million over just 23 actually so how worried should dolphin fans be about the team’s ability to keep together a group of impending free agents headlined by Wilkins Conor Williams Robert hunt and Van GLE and that also includes starter rayquan Davis

Deshun Elliot and Isaiah win guys over 500 do the room smash that like button apparently not much agent Drew Rosen house who represent Williams and Van GLE and wi from that group was asked during his weekly w SVN 7 segment whether a new contract for Wilkins would be tied to or

Affected by Miami’s ability to keep Van van Ginko he said I don’t think it is the cap is going to be in excess of 240 million I think the team can afford to keep as many of the guys as they want on defense the cap is not a hard cap you

Can find room you can guarantee contracts you can spread them out you can use voidable years you can PR rate the years it’s very flexible teams find a way to do it certainly think the Dolphins can find a way to keep all of their terrific players and they’ve got

An owner in Steven Ross that’s not afraid to spend the money and he’s got all the money they’ve got the cash to do it in guaranteed contracts hopefully the team will continue to have a great season and reward their guys Jason Fitzgerald founder of the reliable website over the cap adjusted the

Dolphins 2024 over the cap number to 40.8 million in recent days because of projections that the cap will be lower than expected cap space is all relative in manipulating contracts in the year they are signed to have lower cap figures is pretty easy so loing out losing out on 13 million in projected

Cap room is nothing to really Panic about if you are writing about A team’s prospects for the offseason in general the buying power is not really going to change because of it for the handful of teams that are projected to be way over the salary cap the Saints the Chargers

The bills and the Dolphins that this does make things harder because they were already in a pinch and we’ll need to go deeper on the restructures and cuts reduce future signings and hold off on draft pick signings to be cap compliant if this was any question about about the importance of Wilkins there

Shouldn’t be now he’s durable an anre of one of the League’s best run defenses and now has a sack total to prove he could do the one thing that reportedly was sticking point in offseason negotiations using the franchise tag on Wilkins would meet a projected 19.7

Million capit in 2024 the capit in 2024 could be much lower if it’s part of a multi-year contract the Dolphins can trim 15.8 million off the cap by cutting Emanuel agba and about 8 million by replacing Tu Tango’s 50e option with a lucrative extension similar to the structure of Jaylen Herz extension with

Phly add another 3.2 million in savings if they cut K on crosson and that’s about 27 million there but that’s just a start they’ll need to work on lowering 2024 cits for Hill chub Howard Baker and Armstead Dolphins previously restructured all five of their contracts but that wouldn’t preclude another one

They could also rework Jaylen Ramsey’s contract which has 27.2 million cap number next season these Dolphin players have done their part at this point winning 10 of their first 14 but with the stakes rising and quality of competition strengthening this is their chance to make a convincing case that

The team deserves essentially a blank 2024 check from its owner to fund a pricey roster that’s about to come even pricier here’s the update Tyreek Hill he practiced on a limited basis for the first time since sustaining an ankle injuries against Tennessee McDaniel said he’s close to returning to game action

Austin Jackson Robert hunt did not participate for the second consecutive day on Thursday if they cannot play Then tan Armstead would be the only offensive line starter available on Sunday guards Lester cotton and Robert Jones leam mikenberg and Kendall lamb would fill out the lineup xaven Howard said his hip

Injury that sign line him against the Jets is doing better and he said and I quote I’ll be good to go on Sunday there was no point in going out and Rising something I did the week before it was a freak injury Brandon Jones ran into me

In the third play of the game against Tennessee I pushed through in that game we’re good now feel good Howard Devon aan Armstead and Hill went from not practicing Wednesday to limited participant Thursdays also limited Javon Holland kou ogba and cam Smith Durham SMI and AVG deshun Elliot is out of

Concussion protocol and was a full participant today so we’re getting a lot of guys back Deshawn Elliot will be back for this game um coo is going to be good to go looks like jav I told y’all Javon Holland he’s going to push to go I’m

Telling you uh Devin Anan did tell K Adams that he is going to go this week too so there is that all right so we’re getting bodies back we’re getting we’re getting bodies back we’re getting a little healthy now with the whole restructuring thing I mean you know this is what I’ve been

Telling you guys for weeks that’s what they’re going to do you know especially if we make a run here in the playoffs they’re going to restructure and they’re going to try and bring us back as many guys as possible and it’s clearly the smart move it’s clearly the right move

But another thing I wanted to to point out that I thought was interesting there don’t be surprised if they start trying to trade draft picks or Bunch up draft picks to only have to pay one player or less players don’t be surprised if they’re more active moving up because

That’ll me or moving back because that could either decrease the cost by having fewer draft picks or decrease the cost by moving back and having more cheap draft picks I feel like we’re going to be active at on on the on the draft you know what I mean I really do I

Really do so be out on lookout for that um I wanted to point that out now I know we were wondering whether uh the Cowboys game would get flexed so many questions we’ just been looking and now the question has come out I mean people have been called out

By the Baltimore mayor for putting on false information and hilarious but now it’s basically come out and this is courtesy of Barry Jackson as well we’ve got some answers what’s going to happen on New Year’s okay so here we go NFL has decided there will be no changes to the

Week seven schedule Dolphins Ravens will remain at 1 pm. on CBS and will be aired in parts of the country the league decided not to flip dolphins and Ravens with Casey and Bengals at 425 on CBS Packers and Vikings will remain the 820 game on NBC so there you

Go move ahead with your New Year’s Eve plans you don’t gotta you know we don’t got to worry about planning around the Miami Dolphins um it is what it is uh we are going to listen I’m going to be honest with you thank God for some reason this team in prime time

Lately uh thank God thank God all right so we are not getting Flex that’s a 1M game and then remember 4:25 p.m. um on Sunday all right so be out on lookout for that now I see it’s being brought up in the in the chat and I know there’s

Been conversations about it fangio did address Ramsey’s ability to Shadow Wilson because X is out now X is probably going to be back this week and likes to split the field in half one to each side I don’t know what the plan with CD lamb is but I’ll tell you this I

Would Shadow lamb I would Shadow lamb do what ball game said Shadow Lamb with that boy ramsy let him lock it down all right lock it down and then from coo let coo I mean you know let coo do his thing because you know he can I mean and

He’s obviously healthier right now than x so this is why I’m going to say what I’m about to say but you know I would have him on Brandon Cooks and then I agree Michael Gallop let X handle Michael Gallop let let him handle that third option if you want to go there you

Know what I mean uh I don’t think Vic is going to do that because X is back and he lets it split the field in half of these guys but because X isn’t even 100% this is why IID do that you know what I mean so I mean it

Is what it is you know I that’s that’s just usually that’s Fan’s preference and that’s you know that’s what he likes to do schematically so we’ll see I hope I’m hoping he Shadows but I’m not expecting I’m not I’m not getting my hopes too far up

Let’s put it that way but Hey listen we wondered early on in the season if he would marry what he does with what this Personnel was so good doing under Boer and Flores and he has so I ain’t putting anything past you know big Vic you know

What I mean I ain’t putting anything past big Vic energy let that be known all right man we had over 550 people of you in man we had over 550 of you in the room today I appreciate y’all for coming through do me the favor smash that like
