00:00this this happened over the weekend dolphins had their draft
00:05a bit of an awkward situation it appears with the coach and jalen ramsey
00:09this was reported upon and something happened with mike mcdaniel that was a little bit shocking
00:15he didn't have much to say about something which is not like mike mcdaniel that's a dead giveaway
00:22he normally has everything to say about everything giveaway he was asked about his relationship
00:27with jalen ramsey at one of their draft press conferences they had a billion of them
00:32and this is what he didn't have to say about it we've peppered chris with a bunch of jalen ramsey
00:37questions but mike can i ask you at the end there what was your relationship like with him
00:41before this mutual decision to part ways um you know i i think uh you know speaking on uh you know
00:49the relationship with jalen on this forum um you know tanks takes uh kind of undercuts what i think
00:56is important today which is um we we've added a class and are continuing to add um new players
01:03to 2025 dolphins um and i think you know beyond that uh it wouldn't do justice to you know these
01:10draft picks and and what we're trying to do today wow that's actually pretty concise for him it was but
01:18even then all that would say no comment pretty much so why didn't he just i don't want to talk about
01:24you know uh we're here we're giving in a draft class so we should call him coach
01:29filibuster about their minds words here are words about me not wanting to talk about how jalen ramsey
01:36and i hate each other's guts now back in the day shut up dude just get to the point you know i've had
01:42how do they hate each other now i don't understand what happened i did i've been saying a lot of bad
01:48things about this whole culture in miami and how we're soft and apparently that's here here's the problem
01:56okay the only person that needs to adjust in that whole building
02:01is mike mcdaniel and i know all the offenses that he has had
02:13before now have prided themselves on being physical up front
02:20and i don't know why it hasn't been that way maybe it's because and here's what coaches do
02:26sometimes they over coach the situation so maybe he's like yeah this offensive line
02:32we're not very good up the middle let's run outside right to the detriment of the team because
02:38everybody knows where you're running yeah um but if you look at the offenses that they have run
02:47when you go to atlanta when you go to san fran and here even when he was in cleveland
02:55very very physical up front okay but take that aside like a guy who's regarded as a player's coach
03:06like whatever you want to say about mike mcdaniel whatever he's got to adjust to the one thing that
03:12he's been looked upon is that he's a player's guy and everybody has said love his personality free
03:17agents have said one of the reasons i wanted to come here was enthusiastic jalen ramsey was thought of
03:24as one of those guys they would be side by side in all these camps and now it's to the where the
03:30relationship is just like yeah i can't play for him because he seems soft there's no accountability
03:36to anybody else on the team that's crazy you can't if the coach doesn't have accountability
03:40the players can't the leaders of the team can't hold anybody accountable now just look at a couple
03:45of situations why can't he tell jalen i can change
03:54here's why
03:59i'm gonna say this and i'm not pointing fingers at anybody okay somebody like jalen looks at the team
04:09and sees how certain people are being treated or what certain people get away with which i'd imagine
04:14one of them though and that behavior isn't going to change do you you don't know i would imagine
04:19so okay i mean i don't think if somebody if somebody i don't think you have a special treatment i would
04:23imagine jalen ramsey's one of those guys but but i don't think you can be a guy that complains about
04:31people being soft and light on players right if you're one of those guys it would seem hypocritical
04:40a lot of stars are always accountable of people's situations just i'm just saying
04:45i'm just saying it would seem hypocritical oh yeah it would be right but i would say this i think
04:54that jalen ramsey plays a certain way he's a level of physical
05:02that he thought the team should be
05:08and he wonders whether the team could be that i get it okay but
05:12you know this is one of those i mean i don't know if like
05:16having the whole do-si-do of the uh the the the defensive coordinators the last two years annoyed
05:20them you know like mike mcdano didn't step in with the vic fangio thing could be i don't know
05:25but i just find this this is crazy because honestly what the best thing is for the dolphins
05:29is for jalen ram because jalen ramsey you're not getting money relief this year you paid them
05:33right and to be at a point of a very obvious need the dolphins have
05:39and to be at a point where it's irreparably broken is pretty wild to me because i thought this was
05:45supposed to be one of the calling cards of your coach who yeah we do have questions about the offense
05:51that he runs but one thing that it's supposed to be is he's a player's guy it's weird that we talk
05:57about the offense that he runs when that is one of the most physically normally physical run
06:08offenses in the league we got big jonah now who's not eikenberg
06:17you're still going to keep eikenberg you know why right i told you he's got pictures multiple positions
06:23multiple terrible positions what he's a backup he's one snap away from not being a backup i'd
06:33rather him not be on the roster really it's too tempting what do you mean because you want to know
06:39why he's a backup one bad thing happens what does spo do he's a backup the wily boom
06:45won't you feel a little bit more relief if he wasn't there no i like slow mo do you yeah you
06:54make fun of him a lot i do
06:58i mean your answer to to combat evan mobley and and was it jaron jackson jared not jaron jackson
07:06jared allen jared allen can't be slow mo they run around him like did you see him dribbling the
07:12ball down the floor i'm surprised they didn't take his lunch money oh my god so weird right that's
07:17what i'm saying the ball he's 6 10 and the ball's eye level how's he made it this long i don't know
07:23crafty crafty veteran he is crafty yeah we don't need crafty we need buckets
