00:00Miami Dolphins season ended yesterday.
00:02They lose to the jets, Stephen Ross after the game, although Mike McDaniel
00:07had a answer that he had heard that he was going to be back, it was confirmed
00:10by Stephen Ross says, I want to thank the players and coaches for their hard
00:14work throughout the 24 season, as well as the fans for their support as owner
00:19of this team, I am ultimately accountable for our success and failures.
00:23We fell short of our expectations this season.
00:25And I understand and share in the frustration in our performance on the
00:29field, as we now look towards 2025, our football operations will continue
00:33to be led by Chris Greer and Mike McDaniel with my full support.
00:38There's a positive working relationship.
00:41Oh, their positive working relationship is an asset to the dolphins.
00:44And I believe in the value of stability.
00:47However, continuity and leadership is not to be confused with acceptance
00:51of status quo being good enough.
00:55We will take a hard look at where we have fallen short and make the
00:57necessary changes to deliver our ultimate goal of building and sustaining
01:01a winning team and compete for championships.
01:07I mean, that's kind of how the conversation goes, right?
01:14I mean, that's, I don't think it's, I think if anybody was, I really was not
01:19surprised, dude, like I told, like we said a couple of weeks ago, as soon as
01:22he tossed a game ball to Mike McDaniel, I mean, that's solidified it for me.
01:26I'm like, Hey, Mike McDaniel ain't going anywhere.
01:28Um, Chris Greer, I mean, we, there was some rumors and rumblings over the
01:32weekend that there was talking that he might take another position in the
01:36organization or might, you know, move to like a figurehead position and that
01:41they would go somewhere else, or there was even retirement rumors of Chris Greer.
01:45Um, but that all appears to be bubbly.
01:48He's, uh, he's going to be back.
01:50I'm sure he's going to talk either tomorrow or later this
01:53week and give his assessment.
01:55Um, you know, I, I don't know.
02:01It's one of these things too, where it's like, all right, how do they feel
02:05like this is going to change?
02:08Right.
02:08Because you know, the Dolphins went all in and it felt like they're, it felt
02:14like their best chance to win it.
02:15Leroy was last year and they fell apart.
02:17Like they got hurt.
02:18They got the healthy to a season, uh, incredible Tyree kill season.
02:23And then, you know, everybody got banged up.
02:24They ran out of pass rushers and they got, they got drug.
02:28Um, this year it felt flimsier to a missed more games than ever.
02:33He now has a hip injury that is worse than we're led on to believe by him.
02:41And I don't really know what to make of him saying, Oh, there was no ifs,
02:44ands, or buts that I was going to play in a playoff game, which they
02:47were very unlikely to be in any way.
02:49That's why you say it.
02:51Come on.
02:51Right.
02:52It is why you say it.
02:53And then, but then the reports league going to be like, well, it's
02:56actually a really bad injury and it's a tear that, you know, it's
03:00a muscle that could tear worse.
03:02You always say, right.
03:03The strain is actually just a tear.
03:05And so it seems like, yeah, it's, it seems like, and he said that this
03:09was as painful as an injury as he had with his broken ankle and, uh, in
03:14Alabama, you know, and so this was just a nightmare year, it really was.
03:19Like the one thing you couldn't afford this year with the losses that
03:23you, you had on the defensive side.
03:25The one thing you couldn't afford was to a missing a quarter of the
03:30season with a concussion and then not being able to end the season
03:34because of some other injury.
03:35Like that's, that's the disappointment of all of this.
03:38And look, I love him.
03:41I think he's talented, but the durability issues have followed him since college.
03:46And it's, it's the biggest red flag on him.
03:50And I don't know how anybody can go into next year feeling like he's
03:53going to get through a season because it feels like any time he tries to
03:57leave the bubble of the pocket, he's at risk to really hurt himself.
04:03I mean, there's a, I mean, so you have to, I mean, prepare your team
04:09accordingly and hope for the best.
04:12Right.
04:13I mean, that's all you can do because he's going to be here.
04:16Yeah.
04:17I mean, I guess I suppose he is going to be here.
04:20Um, but it is like really, and, and we know that Skylar Thompson was, was a,
04:27was not a good enough option to replace him in the middle of the season.
04:31Are you distracted dude?
04:31Are you good?
04:32No, I'm good.
04:33All right.
04:33And you were like, I just want to make sure, like, it seems like
04:36we, we lost you there for a second.
04:38Um, like Scott engine, baby.
04:40Okay.
04:41I don't think, um, Skylar Thompson was clearly not like the viable option to
04:48put it, I don't know who is like, I don't know where you get 41 year old
04:51Joe Flacco, who you want from boy.
04:54Um, I don't want Joe Flacco.
04:55Aaron Rogers available.
04:57No way.
05:03I think that hurt the most too.
05:04Like not only was it, yeah, we're out of the playoffs to a sleeping on the
05:09sidelines.
05:10No one is doing Tyler Huntley's having his worst game, but then his, his, his
05:15two best teams come against us.
05:16Well, did you, uh, you know what the thing is that's great about Snoop
05:19Huntley, like you live in a, in a place where nobody really cares about
05:24respectfully, nobody really cares about what Snoop Huntley says and Snoop Huntley
05:28was like, yeah, the, yeah, the weather was a factory yesterday was slipping
05:33all over the place.
05:34And I thought to myself, man, if Tua said that he would be getting
05:39he would be getting crushed, but we're like, ah, it's okay.
05:45Like, I just hear that from Snoop.
05:46I'm like, it's okay, buddy.
05:47You tried.
05:48Like, I just want to, I just want to give him a hug, you know, maybe send him a box
05:51of empanadas and be like, Hey, it's all right, buddy.
05:53You tried it.
05:54It's not your fault, baby.
05:56You know, we asked, we asked too much of you.
05:59I tell you what, like you ever noticed and pay attention to this when, when you
06:05watch a football game and it's really cold, how dark the footballs are.
06:11Yeah.
06:11Cause them things are all kinds of like Vaseline on them and stuff like that to
06:18keep them moist because dry football is very slippery, but I was more, so I was
06:22more mad at Tua yesterday and I know, you know what, dude, here's the problem.
06:29I need the dolphins to get something for me.
06:31All right.
06:32You know, cause I very clearly they're good with status quo.
06:35All right.
06:35I don't care what my, uh, Steven Ross, your actions speak louder than words.
06:38I mean, here's what I need.
06:41And everybody doesn't say they're okay with status quo.
06:43It kind of does though.
06:44It kind of, as long as I can bring it back next year, but, but here's what I would
06:48like, I need the dolphins in December to have a fashion checker for the sidelines.
06:57Okay.
06:57Because they have messed up too many times this year where Mike McDaniel tried to
07:01look too tough in green Bay and just go hoodie.
07:04And he was shivering like a mouse.
07:06And then Tua Leroy Leroy as a football player.
07:13Okay.
07:17Should a man who's not playing get the QB snuggie?
07:22Hell yeah.
07:23No, dude.
07:25He can't have the football snuggie.
07:27You get him a jacket, get him Gore-Tex.
07:29I don't care.
07:30But he can not have that poncho on during the game when he's not
07:33taking snaps because he ain't doing no running, right?
07:37Oh, he's colder than everybody.
07:38I don't care.
07:39Don't just, you got to go with just clothes.
07:41He can't have a blanket on.
07:43He can't have a blanket on.
07:45He looks like the Bushka.
07:48Yes.
07:50Yes.
07:51I thought he was active for a second.
07:52I was like, Oh, why is doing it?
07:54It's doing uniform.
07:55Did I miss something?
07:55Cause I was very confused as to why he had the snuggie on.
08:00Would you have been more pissed off if he just stayed home?
08:03No, I wouldn't have actually.
08:05I would have been like, yeah, that's probably would have been a little
08:07better because him sleeping on the sideline was he was, he was out cold.
