When we look at during the show, we'll we'll take a look back at at the game against the forty Niners. We'll have an opportunity for us sit down to sit down with wide receiver Preston Williams, who's starting to really starting to pick up hit the pace

of his game. And then we'll go behind enemy lines after that and take a look at our next opponent, the New York Jets, and we'll have xs and bows to wrap things up. But John, before we do that, let's look back presented by Morgan law on the San Francisco forty Niner game and John, this one I thought, really there was a couple of things early in the game that that kind of set the tempo for me.

Once certainly coming out being able to stop the Niners uh Niners in their first possession, to make a force him to punt, and then going down put points on the board. And then the Niners come back and they get in a situation where you know, they go for that fourth and one and uh and you're able to

stop him. And I thought, just I thought as the game progressed, I kept looking back at that play and just thinking about scoring a touchdown, stopping him and then stopping him in that fourth down really kind of set the tempo uh and and and kind of set the feel for what this game was. Like. I agree with you, Kim, because the defense really did set the tempo in that game. You go three and out, especially on the road, and you feel like that you're you're you're getting some rhythm

early defensively. You know all the explosive plays that have happened against the Miami Dolphins over the last two or three or four weeks that you had to put a stop to him. And I think the defense did that on their first set of downs, and then the Dolphins come back with an explosive play of their own, going down the sideline to Preston Williams. He gets things started.

They score on their first two opportunities, and you feel like, hey, this might be like the Jacksonville game again on Thursday night. You might get on roll, but you're playing a superior team. Are they going to respond? And I think you know to your point the fourth and one that the Dolphins come back the stuff Agba does a great job. I thought the defensive front, the tackle has really got a good push inside with Christian Wilkins and those guys, and

Baker was there as well. And then the fake punt. You know, there's there's opportunities in a game where you have to seize sees those chances. And I thought last week against Seattle, when the Dolphins didn't go for it on a fourth down, they end up kicking another field goal. I think that might have played into the into the mind of the head coach and Brian Flores and saying, you know what, I think we're We're in a better

shape positionally as a team in this one. But let's let's possess the football and not give it back, not let get a chance to get back into the game. So I thought there were some key plays in a really dominant performance by the Dolphins. Yeah, that that gay. I think it was a thirty to fourteen at that point, forty Niners had just scored, and you go, hey, we

still they're still time in this game. And then the Dolphins go on, go on the fake punt on fourth and in short make it and they're able to They're able to put a touchdown on the board and really separated, and really I think at that point it was all over but the crying for the forty niners. But but it all, it was all built up by everything that

had gone on before. And first of all, I got to talk about Ryan Fitzpatrick another game you know, you got, you got, I don't know, pretty pretty big percentage of people down here, Dolphin fans clamoring to see two and Went two are gonna play. Went's two are gonna play. And every time Ryan you know, misses a receiver or something, get two in there and he just keeps holding on. And he had one of those games last yesterday or Sunday.

I'm sorry, um, three touchdowns, three fifty yards on the football. Uh, it spread the ball around to a lot of receiver's, got Gaseki back involved, and and you talked about you talking about Preston Williams and DeVante Parker and all those guys,

and I just thought the offense really played well. And John with Robert Hunt being kicked in there and having to play right tackle for the first time, Jesse Davis flipping over the left tackle, and I gotta tell you, you you know, we can talk about it right now, I mean going through still, you know, the the offensive line.

You know, you didn't have to talk about them, talk about him very much, and you know, it's it's good to have not to be able to talk about an offensive line because they're playing so well and playing so consistently.

And I think that's what we saw out of that game, especially even even with those moves, which which is another step for me, which is just really starting to make me believe in this offensive line moving forward, not this year, next year, the year down, because this is such a young offensive line and to see them being able to grow into each other as as three rookies playing a lot, the other young guys they're playing a lot, I think it boats well for what this offensive line is gonna

be like moving forward. Well, you know everybody coaches always say it takes all eleven, you know, on offense, on defense, on special teams, and it does, but you have you need an orchestrator, and Ryan Fitzpatrick's that guy right now. Everybody always is clamoring for the second guy, whether it's the fifth pick in the draft, the first pick in the draft. They always want that guy out there playing

for your team. But Patients is probably on the side of the Miami Dolphins because like it or not, Ryan Fitzpatrick gives this team the best chance to win each and every week. And he showed that again on Sunday. He was magnificent. And you mentioned the offensive line. I thought that was a terrific job done by a rookie getting put in a tough spot. You know, you get a couple of days of practice, there's really no pads,

you go out and you play a seamless game. You didn't even notice Robert Hunt was playing in the game. And that's a great thing. He didn't notice it because of his ability to take that spotlight and be ready for it. And I think you credit the other four guys. Jesse moving from right to left Uh, the guy next to him and Solomon Kinley doing a great job, the two rookies together that might be there for a long time.

And getting back to the explosive play, Kausiki had a one seventy yarder down the field, a twenty two yarder you know, over the top on third and goal from the twenty two you know, the Davante parker, and then two big plays from Preston Williams on the four catches, especially the one down in the middle for the touchdown where he cradles it gets into the end zone. I just thought that that matched with the takeaways and the number of quarterback hits and the sacks by the defense,

Miami was just too much for the forty niners on Sunday. Yeah, and you talked about the defense. Uh, you know, it really came together and I thought played certainly their best game of the year. Was nice getting seeing Byron Jones back there and X comes up with another interception, You get an interception from Bobby McCain. Uh, you got to force fumble, you know, So a lot of lot of

good things on the defensive side. But I think the thing to me, John, like even even we've seen the defense over the last few weeks start to get better, started tighten up a little bit a little better, and run defense a little better. On pass rushed a little bitter, and pass coverage. It all seemed to come together against the forty Niners because they got pass rush and they got in a number of ways that you know, they

blitched a number of times that the forty Niners couldn't solve. Uh, they were able to get pressure with a fore man rush and let guys get back and cover. They're able to do all of those types of things. And and and I think the one thing that that that I really wanted to see improvement on from the prior week and and the weeks prior to that was eliminating the big chunk plays, not allowing the your opponent to come

down and in it. I think in the in the against Seattle, I think I counted ten or eleven chunk plays against the Dolphin defense. And and in this game, I think there was one, maybe two that you would call a chunk play, but they fizzled out and didn't really go anywhere. So, you know, as much as you look at this offense and with the offense did I thought it was a game I thought it was a game that you can you can you can just as easily,

you know, pat the back. So those guys that that played defense out there against U still a pretty good football team with some really talented players. You George Kittle, maybe maybe with one of the top two or three tight ends in the National Football League, and he was all but all but forgotten on Sunday, arguably the best. You know, the week before against the Eagles, he had fifteen targets, he had fifteen catches, uh, you know, for well over a hundred yards. He had four catches for

forty four yards in this game. So Eric Row did a magnificent job, and I think Josh Bowyer, the defensive coordinator, did a really good job preparing the Dolphins for multiple looks, especially up front that front seven. We haven't said Jerome Baker's name in a long time. That's not a good thing for the Miami Dolphins defense. And and a number of times we saw a fifty five flash against the

forty niners. That's a great thing when you have him rushing and pinning his ears back and being able to get in multiple fronts where you see guys five guys on the right side of a center and maybe two guys to the left, and you don't know who's dropping. That becomes an identification problem for the for the opposing lineman, for the tight end, for the running backs, and I think that led to a lot of pressures against the forty niners, and it really led to those five sacks,

that eight quarterback hits and the two interceptions. So overall, but this was a team effort. You don't miss in your field goals. You have a good punning day, yeah, you cash in on explosive plays. I think at one point I kind of we were nine of ten in possessions on offense and we got scores. So there was some really good stuff for the Miami Dolphins in all three phases. And that's how you you become a dominant team.

I'm not gonna say anything about Jason Sanders. I don't want to be one of those golfing now, so we'll just we'll just let sleeping dogs let him go with the offensive lineman's exactly. All right. Welcome back to the audible presented by Automation. Time now for our sit down. Got Preston Williams and here's a guy, John We saw him last year at training camp. He was flashing it

seemed like every day. Then he got the opportunity to to play in this was the season started and really was one of the breakout players for the Miami Dolphins last year. Gets injured and and and I think right now, I think we're just starting to see the close to the Preston Williams that we saw last year before he got hurt. You know, I think there's been some times where he's kind of been, you know, trying of feeling his way around out there. But I think we're starting

to see Preston Uh at his best. And I think there's still a lot left in uh in the tank for him as we move forward. Well, I think he's gaining confidence with every game and every practice. I think that in the back of his head. You know, this is his second e c L one in college, one in the pros last year, and he's only played thirteen football games for the Miami Dolphins. You know, this was the first time he was able to eclipse a hundred yards and he did it on only four catches, so

he had career highing yards. Um He's he's a big target on the outside for what the Dolphins want to do. And he's a great compliment to Davante Parker, Mike Kasicki because he can dominate one side of the field and he really dictates coverage. So I think Preston, as you said, he's coming into his own a little bit more closer to the guy we saw a last season before the injury, and he's an upbeat guy. He's a young player, another young player that shows promise for years to come in

in a Miami Dolphins uniform. It was nice to see Mike Gasecki kind of getting back into the flow last couple of games. I mean like he's caught everything that's thrown his way. He was targeted twice in the last two games, caught both balls and been both of them pretty pretty tough catches. But he got a little more, a little more action out there, and you know, I think he's gotta he gotta, he gotta get out there

before the games and tug on. Ryan Fitzpatrick said back from Jersey, but say, hey, hey, big fella, don't don't forget that I'm still out here. You know, he's gotta pull that old nat More trick and make sure he's the last guy to tap the quarterback out of the huddle to make sure he knows where he's going. That's exactly and no doubt about it. But no, it's nice. Nice to see him getting back and uh and and you know, Miles gaskon again continue and used to You know,

he's not setting the world on fire. He's not putting numbers out there that are that are gonna blow your socks off. But he's giving you productive yards. He's putting you in good situations second and medium, second and short those types of things. Now, you know, don't get me wrong, I would like to see, you know, it'd be nice to have, you know, a running back or a couple of running backs will really break out and have some some big games. But he's catching the ball well for you.

He's blocking when he needs to block, and he's giving you some some impetus in the running game when he gets the opportunity. And I think it's gonna help. With the addition of seeing Matt Breda being installed in the offense a little bit more, I think it's gonna help Miles because it's gonna take some of the pressure off of the running game and also in the passing game. Both of those guys are so good in the open field. When they get their hands on the football, they usually

make the first guy miss. And that's a good sign coming out of the backfield when you're getting a four yard pass and you turn it into a fourteen yard game and you're moving the chains for that offense. So I think Ryan Fitzpatrick right now, the way things are going up front, he's gonna have a lot of time to to it. Can choose his weapons on the outside. All right, So we kind of kind of get a

little way from Preston. So let let's get back. Let's get back into it and uh and listen to what your conversation with Preston John contemning here was wide receiver Preston Williams and Preston. Uh, First of all, congratulations on a great victory out West against San Francisco. How was the team? Uh? During the game and then maybe after in the locker room, you guys had to feel really good about what you accomplished. Uh, you know, going to the game, you know it was just real lot. Then

I'm just trying to execute. You know, he's playing a real good team in the four nights. They got a good little squads, so you know, you just want to play a bus game. Uh, you know we execute that areas, so you know that helped a lot. And then after the game, you know that win and feeling that win and feeling I always feel good. So yeah, it has to put a smile on your face and something else that probably made you happy or made you smile. How cool was it to open up with a shot play

you first played from scrimmage forty seven yard completion? Talk us through that route, maybe what you saw in coverage and if you felt like it was gonna be successful or not. Uh, you know, we were just preaching all week it was gonna take shots on these guys. Uh. And then the first play of the game, it comes a shot um the corner out there. He was he had eyes in the backfield looking at fits. So I end up getting in this blind spot and fishes through a great ball because are and there let me run

under it. So you know, it was just a good pitching catch for all of us that that aren't receivers. What does it feel like when that ball is just kind of like hanging in the air and you're going, you know, as fast as you can. What what are you thinking that's the only thing that matter at that point right now? You know, just me getting that over him, like I wanted more to him, so you know, you know, just my whole mind said, you know, just catch everything.

So you know, you you had four catches for a hundred and six yards. It was the first time in your career you went over a hundred yards. You had a recreer career receiving yards at one of those sex. Did you know you were having that type of game during the game or was it just like, hey, give me some more. I just want I just want to keep contributing. I just want to keep making catches and keep us moving so we can score points. Uh, it was more just you know, I just wanted to make plays.

You know, whoever you threw the ball too, you know, as you know, my mind set would just catch everything, like I said, So if he threw my way, you know, I wanted to make the most out of my opportunity. Uh didn't. I didn't know what my yards was, but you know, I probably I had a good idea that I was running a lot of d D routes. So yeah, well when you were running those deep routes, especially on your touchdown pass, you ran faster than any wide receiver had on the field all day. What did you know

in your mind to set up that corner? How you had to beat him? And can you talk us through that process? Because Fitz took a heck of a shot in the pocket and he was able to get you the ball? What were you thinking about getting open for him? Uh? He actually got me audible, I was I was out there. He looked out out to me. He was like, just rhyme. I was like, okay, if that don't work right, the nickel blitzed the corner platt over and the safety of the top of the head end up getting too wide,

So I just split both of them fish. You know, he just laid it out there for me. He took the heads. You know, he took a hit, so I gotta make the catch from that. So yeah, it works. It works both ways. And you know something else that works both ways. You're making plays. Devonte is making plays, Mike's making plays in the passing game. Do you guys feed off of each other when you see somebody get you know, like a chunk yardage? Players he sold to make a tough catch. Does that kind of get you

guys all going, Yeah, we definitely feel off each other. Uh, you know, it's the energy thing. You know, Devantey made plays just think you have. They're making incredible catches. You know, we all just feed off each other. Just say, you beat running down the sideline, which you should have scored on in my opind hey, you know what I'm saying. We feed off that. You know. You know, we knew that, we knew we needed that, go into that game with no fans too, So it's just you know, he's feed

up the defense too. It was giving defense energy and defense giving us energy. Well, the good thing about it was you're right three and out by the defense. You guys go right down and score after your big play. Uh. Is that kind of thing you you build on in practice, Like you you work your way in practice and you're taking shots, you're doing things, and all of a sudden

it happens in the game. Does that make you want to get right back and kind of get back to that mentality of grinding and out during the week so you can happen a little bit easier on Sundays. Yeah, definitely. Uh, you know, practice made perfect. You know, it's one thing you know, you gotta practice what I'm saying. More you pressure your crafty, the better you're gonna get at it. You know, we just try to play compromentary football out there. You know. Uh, defense is getting a lot of time overs.

You know, every time they turn up all over we want to you know, contribute and score off that drive. So you know, it's just it's all. It's all about execution and just coming football. And like you sell me, tell me the relief you feel a little bit about not having to get on a plane on a Friday and go back out west to Denver, and now you get a home game with the schedule coming back out, You get the Jets at home, you get to play in front of your fans. That how to make you

guys feel really good. On the way coming back from San Francisco. Yeah, you know, we wasn't. Uh no, I was thinking about it too much. If it's cool that we're getting the home game as we actually you know, we're coming home play, so you know it's pretty cool. Uh, you know, me being going to Colorado State and then pushing the game bag. You know, so now I'm kind of expecting snow. Dude. It was gonna be cold, but

you know it's now. But you know, you know we list about any any task we need to, so well, I hope you keep it going. Uh, you look great. I'm glad you're you're getting closest as you can do a hundred percent, because you sure look like it. On the football field, Preston, good luck this week against the Jets at home and continued successful man thirteen games in. You got that, Hunter yards, keep it going, You got it.

Welcome back to the audible present by Auto Nation. Now it is time to go behind enemy Alliance presented by Auto Nation, where Dolphin fans can sell their vehicles for cash right now visit auto nation dot com. And a little bit of a change up here and scheduling, John, it looked like the Dolphins we're gonna be headed to the Mile High City to play the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

But lo and behold, things have changed. And the good old New York Jets coming to a hard rock stadium from four four or five kickoff here, and nothing I like better than seeing a New York Jet team. That's uh, where the wheels are kind of round, rock wheels are wobbling as they come into into hard rock. Um, you know, it's it's it's it's tough to look at the look it's tough to look at the Jets, and and and and I feel optimistic about what they're bringing to the

table because so far has been a dumpster fire. But I think we all have been around the Jets and the Dolphins rivalry long enough to know that it doesn't matter what's going on between each team before they get together. When they get together, anything can happen. Well, you're right, and and a dangerous team is a winless team because

you never know when they're gonna put it together. You know, everybody gets paid in this league obviously, and it's their job, and you never know when Sam Donald or Joe Flacco, whoever it is, lavy On Bell is gonna be able to come out and be that player that they're supposed to be. So a lot of problems right now in New York. They haven't been able to score points, they haven't been able to keep people out of the opposing

end zone. I'm just glad we're playing them at at this point in time, maybe before they figure it out, and early enough in the air where you get a hot day down here, and it might have an effect on an opposing team. I think the Dolphins kind of get a bad draw because go out to Denver a little bit later, so it might be cooler for them when they go out there. But uh, you know, let's get the wins while we can and have the best opportunity to get those. And that's playing a team that's

winless coming into hard Rock stating here. And you've got like a wounded, little wounded animal coming into the Jets, And you don't want to be the Dolphins to to kind of pat them on the head and say, oh, you'll be all right. They gotta keep putting on their their their quarterback situation is in turmoil right now. Sam Donald heard his shoulder. He may be ready to play this week. Joe Flacco was playing, and you know, Joe

Flacco still got some some game left in him. And they still, like you said, they still have Leivia Levan Bell and and I'm I'm you know, I was thinking about it the earlier day. I'm just so happy not to see Robbie Anderson running out there with the Jets and to all, I have to get those guys out of there, and and and it's gonna be an interesting thing. But it's not a game for the Dolphins to allow the Jets and Adam Gays and those guys to get healthy.

Uh But, John, I tell you I I saw listening to that game yesterday when I was riding driving down the TV station and I'm listening, and the Jets have a third and one, they get stuffed. They go for it on fourth and one, they get stuffed and and they're down in there. They're on a twelve play drive, and that's how the drive ended with with no points. They throw, they get an interception, and they get the ball and then they get a five yard delay of

the game penalty. They can't even they can't even get on the field and put it get a snap off in time after a change of possession. And to me, that's a that's a snapshot of what's wrong with this football team right now, and and probably stretching out a little bit part of what's wrong with Adam Gaze and

and why he struggled as a as a head football coach. Well, that's why I'm glad we're playing the Jets right now, because I don't think they're gonna figure it out in four or five days, and I think they have deeper rooted issues than just who who's playing quarterback or who's getting the ball running back or who's playing left tackle. You know, you get Beckton from Louisville, who uh played a couple of weeks ago that wasn't a hundred percent.

He's still not a hundred percent, and you're going to you know, I don't I have so much respect for Frank Gore, but how many times can you give it to Frank Gore? You know, on the on those those treads. You know that he has left on the wheels and he's still gonna give you everything he has. But there's

just not a whole lot left in the cupboard. It seems like for me offensively, there's not a lot of weapons on the on the offensive wide receiver position, uh, for Adam Gates to kind of scheme up what he wants to do offensively if he doesn't have Sam Donald at quarterback. Now, Joe Flacco is a talented quarterback, but he's trending on the older side of things as well. He looked good in Spurts, but there's just not a whole lot of weapons out there at his disposal. So

I think the Dolphins are in a good spot. I think this is a week bow. The Dolphins have to take care of the Miami Dolphins. They have to practice with the purpose. They have to go out and play a discipline game as they played the first five games. They stay away from penalties, stay away from the turnovers. If they do those types of things, I think the Jets will implode at some point in this game and make it a little bit easier for mind Me to

win it home. Yeah, they still look still got some good player Quinin and Williams on the other side of a disrupting guy. He's a disrupting force in the middle there, and he's just getting better and better. Avery Williamson the linebacker is another guy that's all over the field making play. So they certainly have some some players out there that can do some damage. But you're right, it's if you know, this isn't the time for the Dolphins to worry about

what problems the Jets are having. It's time for them to look internally again and you know what and just and just say, hey, look, let's you know, we're gonna watch film, We're gonna watch tape, we're gonna see what they do. But we're gonna spend more time talking about us,

talk about us and playing a little better. You know, A hold that block for a little bit longer, you know, go after that, go after the ball, carry with a little bit more, a little bit more fever pitch and all those types of things, because because I think we can see as we see the Jets trying to tend to be a group that's kind of the they're they're fraying at the edges a little bit. I think when you look at the Dolphins over the last few weeks, you're looking at the team that's kind of becoming a

little closer. Nick. They're tightening every thing up, and and I think there's another good opportunity to tighten up in your own backyard and get yourself to five hundred. Anything can happened after that. John Well, I'm not saying the Dolphins are the team that everybody's picking to to go far in the playoffs and win a Super Bowl right now, but I will tell you through five games, they've had

every opportunity to win games. And that's including New England, it's including Seattle and and the games that they have won. And then that's including the Bills. You know, this team has put themselves in positions to to make plays or not make plays, and and the majority of the time I thought they've come through. I think it's the big plays on the defense that have hurt them early in the season, which they corrected against San Francisco that I

don't know. The Jets have the ability, you know, to go downtown, to go over the top of this Miami Dolphins defense. And I think the defensive line in the different sets and formations that they gave San Francisco are really gonna cause issues to the New York Jets and that offensive line that has had trouble protecting Donald and

Flacco last week. So I think if the Dolphins play the way they're capable of, they should be in a good spot heading to the bye week, which is which is a nice thing to do to try to get to five, get to that bye week, and then get ready for that long haul. You know. Well, well, well we'll talk about that a little bit our next second when we come back to next XS and ohs, because

we'll talk about changing schedules. And let's just say for now they have a bye week after the Jets game, and that's right, but that's it might have spoke too soon, but that could change and even a stick around. We'll let you know about it when we come back. Welcome back to the Audible presented by Auto Nation. Time now

for XS and bows. And I gotta give my I gotta get my paperwork out, John, you know I, you know I I just before the Dolphins game, all of a sudden or you've heard all this, all these changes and then you know one time they're gonna be a by this next week and then the Jets are coming to town, and so trying to make himps but let me kind of just go through over the next six weeks with the Miami Dolphins and what the schedule is

right now. As we said, this week was gonna be a back to back, tough trip because they're gonna have to turn around go right back to Denver after going all the way to San Francisco. That's changed and and so this week the Jets come to hard Rock Stadium. That's a four oh five start, and then the following week October bye week for the Dolphins, and then November one to following week a one o'clock game against the Rams.

At hard Rock. November eight, they go to Arizona for the Cardinals, that's a four start, and then November at hard Rock the Charges come to town for a four oh five kickoff there, and then November twenty two they'll make that trip to Denver uh AT for a four oh five start, and no telling what the weather is gonna be like in Denver in in November, so we'll

do that. But that's the way it sets up. So it's the Jets, it's a bye week, it's the Rams at home, it's Arizona on the road, it's the Charges at home, and then it's a trip to Denver uh for the schedule, and uh, I don't have a problem with any of that. I mean, if that's if that plays out that way, to me, it looks like a

pretty good schedule. And and I thought, I think, I just think, you know, my first thought was, oh God, I'm really happy they don't have to go come back here, turn around and go right back to Denver, back to back and in a tough place to play, even though there's not not done many fans or I don't know how many fans they have let in there, whether they do or not, but just making that trip back to back, which normally was gonna be a go out to San

Francisco staying staying there or Denver and then and then just do the dough two games and what fell swoop. But I think I think the Dolphins got a break by not having to go back to Denver and having a Jets team come in next week. I agree with you, bo Uh. You know that that is a tough turnaround, going all the way to San Francisco, coming back on a limited week, and then getting back on the plane on a Friday, not Saturday, to go back out. That kind of gets to you as a player and a coach,

I would think. So you get a home game against the Jets, then you get that by and they kind of shifted around a little bit with the Rams and the Charges were back to back. Now they've slipped Arizona in between, so the Dolphins don't stay at home for three weeks in a row, and then you'll slide in that Enver a game on the road where the bye week was initially on the schedule, in between the two Jets encounters. So I think it does it does bode

well for the Dolphins. They get back to hard Rock Stadium. They'll get the bye week, but then they're gonna have to stay healthy for the duration, and that will be the tough part of the schedule coming up. I think as it gets a little cooler on the road when they go to Denver and places like that. I know they still have trips uh to the Jets as well coming up and to Buffalo to round out the season.

So it'll be it'll be interesting to see how the Dolphins can get through the middle of this of this tough schedule, because right now, you know, you took care of the San Francisco forty niners, which a lot of people didn't think would happen on the road, and then turn around and have to go to Denver. I think

you'd get a break playing the Jets at home. All that being said, this is all written in chalk, because we we know it's as we saw last week, this could all change in a in a sneeze, quite literally, right somewhere around the country, someone snee and someone someone gets gets COVID and everything changes. But I find it hard to believe John that here we are six weeks.

This is really the first week there's been like a lot of turmoil is is schedule wise, you know, it just it makes me just kind of hold my breath a little bit. And because you've gotta feel if it's happened now, there's gonna be some more of this down

the road. And I don't know when it gets to a point where these changes get too muddied to where, uh, where the league kind of goes, it just throws your hand up and uh, we don' don't know what we do now, you know, well, you know, I don't know if the NFL, I I can't remember at the beginning of the season what the protocol was going to be and how far they could kick back potentially the playoffs in the in the Super Bowl and keep going back

into the winter, uh in February. But I'm assuming that they might because you kind of get to that benchmarks of the season, You get to the quarter mark, you get to the halfway mark, you want to get three quarters and then hopefully to the finish line. And I'm I'm assuming that right now everybody's got their fingers crossed that they could get to the halfway point and only have this amount of changes that they have to deal with.

Get everybody's schedule figured out, and then move on weekend and week out from there and take each week at a time, and hopefully, you know, the problems that were in Tennessee and the problems that were in New England, and maybe some of the other cases, the minimal cases will be rectified and it might go a little bit

smoother from here. But you're right, but everybody's got their fingers crossed when in terms of trying to figure out where you're going in each week, and and hopefully the Dolphins can continue uh to be seamless in their operation with COVID. Well, we know, we know what the schedule is for the next six weeks. We know the jets are coming to town, and let's get out there and let the chips fall with They may always a pleasure to be with you.
