The Audible Ep. 3 | Josh Sitton

Jesse Davis battling in there. And I like that. I like the fact that you got some some different people in there to battle it out. Uh. I hate to lose Mike Pouncy certainly do surprise a little bit that John James was got back to It seemed like he was kind of on the on the outside looking in for a little bit. But they've kind of settled on that offensive line and uh, and I'm starting to feel a little optimistic about it. Hate it, Like I said,

I'm like everybody. I'm like every other Dolphin fan out there. You hate to lose a guy like Mike Pouncey. Uh. But but they've got to get this offensive line fixed fixed and we'll see if this is the direction that gets it done. I think the strength their football team right now is their offensive line. Potentially, it's the best group they have and the deepest I I really do.

I think Sam Young coming back, Sam late in his career, all of a sudden place his best football feeling in for for for one, and uh so you gotta feel better about that. As your backup, you gotta guard center, backup whoever doesn't get that right guard position. So yeah, I feel pretty good about the front first seven on the offensive line. Hopefully we don't have to talk about it like the last five. Nice would be nice to go into any draft talking about talking about offensive line guards.

And every time I mentioned God, Jesus Christ, you think I'm You think I'm a blaspheming somebody you know guard again, the best offensive lines in football no one ever talked about. Really, I mean the they were just there and you got to know him through the years because those teams stayed together. Those teams, those offensive lines, about the Seattle's officeive line the forty Niners when they had a bunch of bunch

of dogs on that line has been together for a while. Well, maybe someday we've done a horrible job in this organization. Through the years drafting guards, you want to get right down to it, we've had to go free agency and pick up other people, either through trade or or through free agency. We have not been able to figure that position out, probably more than any other position in the history of this franchise. Someone came up to me a couple of weeks ago, said who was the last Who

was the last successful guard that the Dolphins draft? I said, Keith Sims And that was You know, that's a year. He's been retired so long. He's driving around a freaking here. He's looking for where can I pull in over there? I'm in Georgia. Now where's that k o a campground? I gotta worry about it. Yeah, I gotta get out of here. And you know what, he's gonna find a good deal. Yeah, he's gonna find a good deal. To part well, I think he's a groupiece of coupons, a

coupon every day, that's coupon. He's one of the keys the King. Remember Rember. We used to do a lot of stuff with the guys from Publix. Remember, really really good guys, right, good guys. And he didn't really take time on coupon. No, no, he you know he did. No, he was, he was. He was a professional coupon collector. So one of the times that we I was doing, I had him at uh, I had him at the touch and we used to do a touchdown club and both of those guys were both the public guys were

sitting there. So I'm doing Keith, and I knew it aggravated those guys, so of course I brought it up. So I said, Keith, you're a coupon guy who goes. Oh yeah, he's like, you know, I collect, I look online, I go every he goes. I got a whole book of coupons in the snap And he tells the story and I knew he would tell the story. Was yeah, you know I went into Publis one time. He said, I bought two hundred dollars worth of stuff and they

owed me for dollars when I was done. Joe, He's the guy you don't want to get behind in a public line because you're going, who in the hell is that big guy taking half an hour to check out? That's Keith. Never son of a bit, you know, he's going he's in the public. There's this big three hundred pound guard, former guard, and he's cutting coupons now. But

they would do like this. They he would do stuff like this, you know, you gotta you gotta gotta Johnson's baby powder, Right, you got for one, he got a three for one or something for for like, you know, some little air air freshener. He'd get five cases of it. Right, He'd have so many and he'd stormy. He had to build he had to build an extra addition to his garage to store all the ship that he got from

from coupons. Not only did he live in the r V and driving around, he had to bring in the public to put all his ship back in the I think you get out of there. I think he paid half price for the RV because he had a coupon. Anyway, that's the offensive line. Hey, we've got a lot of stuff to get to. UH. We owners meetings are done. Uh the University of Miami having their pro day UH at training camp. Will talk about that a little bit.

A lot of stuff going on, and I just want to remind you you can catch the podcast in a lot of different ways. You can go to Apple Music, Dolphins dot Com, Miami Dolphins Mobile Appe's big in the mobile app, right, I'm just look, you've got no apps on your phone. Tune in radio, uh, and and we are. It looks like our episodes are dropping usually on Thursday, so you can catch them Thursday mornings and drops. I just learned that. I learned that about you know, you're

learning a lot of new technology. I've never heard by Frankly, I still don't know what a podcast is, but I know what when it drops. That's the most important thing I've heard my brother. My brother was, hey, how do you find that podcast? I go, well, the Apple Music, Dolphins, dot Com, dolphins app. It's droppers. He calls me back. I can't find it anyway. You can call exactly, but those are the places you can find him. And you can also send questions and you can send your questions

in via Facebook. You can send him via Twitter. And it was nice. Last last podcast got a lot of response. I got a lot of response today from uh from the listeners. Nice to see them chiming in. And so we only answer their questions uh as we move along. So a lot a lot of good stuff going uh as I said, get your get your questions, and we'll keep going, but uh, you know, we're having all these

guys coming in. And had a chance to catch up with Josh Sitton and talk to him a little bit, a guy that really I think he's expected to really be one of those guys with him and Kill Gore seem to be the kind of guys that will come in and really solidify this offensive line and I think really make it that because the offensive lines don't even play better when when it's five guys playing is one and you've got to get those guys that can mesh them like that. And they certainly seem to those be

those guys. And not only that, but I think they're tough sl bees. I think these are those guys that they get knocked down the ground, they might start chewing on your ankle to keep you from getting if they get beat there coming right back at you. I totally agree, and I think they help the two tackles on the outside. I agree they'll get chemistry a lot faster with this group. The team stuff and the way offensive lines are supposed

to be. They'll get it. Experience, gosh, a lot of experience, and like you talked about, you're gonna have a center now that uh is new to the system, but not new to the game. This guy has a lot of experience in the middle. He's gonna have veteran guys around him. Maybe push a little bit for a younger guy who had experience in Jesse Davis last year. But you know, guy we really didn't talked about was we thought Joan was gonna be gone, and he's kind of like that

missing piece coming in. If you get Tonsil to play at a higher level and year two at tackle, this line might be, like you said, Joe might be the strength of the team. And the funny thing about about Jowan is I don't think anyone questions that he's got all the talent in the world. He moves well, he's got all, but but he's got a he's got a toughen up and play like like an offensive tackle. He's got to play a little bit more aggressive and and be that guy out there. And in the same can

be said for Laramy Tunsil on the other side. Right, it's just more consistency from both guys. You're gonna You're not gonna win every play. It's just impossible. With as good as these pass rushers are. But these guys got to be more consistent. Let's see what Josh had to say. All I joined me now on the audible. Josh Sitton comes over to us as a free agent from the Chicago Bears. And Josh, first of all, I guess, welcome to South Florida. What are you for your thoughts? Initially,

thank you man. I'm super excited. Um I was telling Coach Washburn yesterday. UM I felt really good and really positive about about making the move. And um, I just felt really good about it, and I was I was excited to get back to work with UH coach Washington and l um and I'm excited to be UH down here in Florida, close to coach, to close to family and friends. They talk a little bit about the free

agent experience. It doesn't seem to these days, it doesn't seem to last long, I guess, although there's a little bit of a premature conversation before they opened the gates to the free agency. But how is your experience going through that, first anticipating what might happen, and then when actually when things came about and the Dolphins became a player, when it came to your future, well, I'll tell you what it's a it's a longer process than then you

really think. I mean, obviously free agency started wednesday, Um, but you know, leading up to that, you're just sitting around kind of wondering. So that I guess the waiting process is, uh is the most difficult thing. And UM, you know, you just want to find out where you're gonna be in this business. It's uh, it's tough moving back and forth and trying to get your family settled. So I think that's the biggest thing. Is I'm very happy that, um, we know where we're gonna be and

we're gonna be settled here. Um, but you know, the last twenty four hours forty eight hours is kind of the the craziest part. And you know, your agents dealing with getting the business side of done, and um, you know you're just kind of sitting around waiting. So uh, it's a little bit of a crazy process. But we couldn't be more happy. Um, we're excited to be uh, you know, or an hour from family, and I've got all kinds of family and friends, you know, within a

few hours here, so we're definitely excited. You're a Jacksonville guy. You you played at UCF h your wife's a big dolphin fan, Kristen, so, uh, it seemed inevitable that the Dolphins somewhere would be in your in your career and and and here it is. Yeah, it's funny. We uh. Over the years, we talked about if we ever, uh you know, had to live Green Bay, where are places that we would like to go? And Chicago was on that list, and Miami was on that list, and I've

ended up in both. And Kristen was just like, I don't know how the hell you get so lucky all the damn time. Um. So it's pretty funny, and it's uh, it's truly a blessing. We're excited to be here. I'm excited for the future of this franchise. I think you could be a really good for all team. I'm excited to get our quarterback back healthy. Um, and you know, we put a few pieces in place. I think it's

gonna be a good football team. You played in Green Bay from two thousand and eight to two thousand and fifteen. You spent the last two years in Chicago. You started a hundred thirty seven out of your hundred forty seven games. More importantly, though, you come down to South Florida and you get out of cold weather. That's gotta make you a little That's gotta be something that that's a positive, isn't it. Hell, I've gotten pretty used to the cold weather. I do have to say that that he was was

one of the negatives actually for me. I'm I'm I'm a big guy, so I heat in the winter and shade in the summer. You know, I'm I'm a I'm a big fellow, So I'm you know, I'll be sweating my butt off, But I hope you're a big fellow. We need a big fellow on the line there there, so you can't be slimming down now. I'll be sweating a lot, so I'll just need the repleticship. Lewis Hey, speaking of signed with the Dolphins, you played for Dwin Loggins and uh Jeremiah Washburn when last year in Chicago,

UM conversations with them. Did they play into your decision at all? Absolutely? I mean I probably, Um, you know, I don't know that I would be down here without list two guys. They they wanted me here. I wanted to be here with them again. Um. Coach Walkburn is um has become a great friend of mine and he's an unbelievably good coach, and um dall Is uh is as well, and UM, you know, I don't I don't think I would be here without those two guys um

pushing for me to get here. UM. I know they really wanted and we've really gotten to know each other and and become good friends over the past couple of years. So uh, it's uh, they played a big part in it. Do you look at your resume? Four time Pro bowler, last time in two thousand and sixteen, just a couple of years ago, All Pro and then first Team in two thousand and fourteen. But more importantly to me, I think when I look at is is you want a super Bowl in Green Bay? And I think that's super

Bowl pedigree. Uh comes with the comes with with something with that you come in and I usually try to say, you know, is it is having played and having gone through what it takes to win a Super Bowl? Uh, and to play at that level? Is that something you can you feel like you can bring in and kind of disseminate through this locker room of of And you don't want to be the guy to say this is how we did at this how we did it. But certainly the experience is something that a lot of guys

haven't been through. Uh, And there's got to be some value uh for the conversations that you can have with some of these guys. Oh absolutely, I think, UM, one thing in this league that is invaluable is it is experience. And whether that's just playing time or it's it's playoff experience. And and for my case, you know, super Bowl experience and uh, you know, I can bring that knowledge of what it takes and um, how to get there I can bring. I can bring that knowledge and and you know,

try and spread that throughout the locker room. I think, and you know, it's all about creating a culture of winning, and that's you know, super Bowl is is everyone's goal, but it has to be I mean, it's it's got to be the everything, and I think it is and I think, uh, I think we've got a really good football team there at The talk is that you'll play uh the left guard spot is have they spoken to you about that? And is that where you understand where

you're gonna start camping out to begin with? I mean I would assume that, um, but you know I've assume things before and it didn't work out. So um, but yeah, that's that's what how it is. Hey, uh, we we kind of look at the you know, everything has gone on free agency here in Miami, and quite frankly, we're looking at almost a completely new, rebuilt offensive line between you and Kilgore coming in and Juwan James was still the situation that that he's in Mike Palency leaving. So

the changes here. Um, is that good that you're coming in with new faces and you guys can gel uh and kind of jael together? Or is it does it make is a little bit more difficult to get the unity that you're looking for in that offensive line? You know, that's a good question. I don't think it matters either way, honestly, And you know, I didn't really realize that until I went to Chicago and I only had five days to get ready for my first game, and you know, we

asked you jailed as an offensive line rather quickly. I mean, it does take time, but um, you know, within a few weeks we were kind of in a groove. And I know we weren't, you know, extremely successful as a team, but as an offensive line, I think we did really well. You know, we ran the ball extremely well up there. Um, and it kind of happened quickly, and you just, uh,

you just started clicking with a line. A line alignement are always always usually the same, so uh you always uh you you click with each other, you know, so uh and you really you learn each other quickly, and you you really put in the time to uh to learn each other. And I think it will happen pretty quickly. No matter what's true, offensive lineman an offensive line coach

are all the same, yeah, no doubt. Right, all got the same I all got the same building mentality, right yea, sir, Hey, let's talk about I talked about your your wife, your wife the dolphin fan. Who's more happy you or your wife that you're coming down here? Honestly, my wife I felt like killing and shock a little bit. Um. She didn't think that it was it was gonna happen, you know, she's just um, I think it's been something that she's always thought that she wanted and it's it happened, and

she was just still shocked. I think she's still a shock. Her Her brother is the one who's uh, who's happier than anybody. He's been the biggest selfest fan. You know that you could. You can imagine I told him that I was. I got to hang out with Dan Marino yesterday and I think, yeah, i'most crappy fan. Yeah, it was pretty cool. You have kids, Yeah, we did. We

just had our first, first baby. She's about eight months old. Awesome. Congratulations. Hey, we're looking forward you to coming down here, looking for to this team, uh having a lot of success this year and in the future. As long as you're here, uh and UH looking for good things out of you. Appreciate you taking the time to be with us and uh enjoy the experience. And UH. All I can say is let's get ready to get to work and uh and win some football games. How's that sound? Absolutely? Man,

I'm excited. I'm excited to be here. I appreciate you having me on, Josh, appreciate it. Thanks. So as as we talk about this is this is the guy. This is the real offensive alignment. I'm not saying the other guys that have been here, all right, but this is the guy that's done it. Stereotypical you know, there there are certain guys that you look at and you will look at me go that's that guy's an offensive line because they're all the same there. That guy's an offensive

line coach. Every offensive line coach I've ever met the same guy. Right. They may look different. One may be fatter than the other, one, one maybe bald, the other one may have a lot of air, but they're all the same guys, all talk the same In those things, they're talking to a different group of guys. And they're all practical jokers too. You know. It's one of those rooms that you walk into. It's it's a lot of fun being a quarterback going in there because they've got

your back right anywhere. Those guys they're all about life. They're all about you. To protect my quarterback's right, and you never it's like like being in the womb. Baby. You go in there and you sayre like, these are my guys. I'm going I'm going to bat with them, I'm going to play anybody anywhere, and you kind of you hope that confidence escapes that room to the rest of the offense because that's that's what you need to be able to go on the field week in and

week out. I think in the National Football League it's a lot a lot of physical stuff, but a lot of mental stuff to to get you through the one thing you don't want to want and you don't want to escape in that room. It stinks in there because well, yeah, oh they do. They fart out the room, and that is that's the biggest thing in an offensive line line room. As guy's farting, there's it's like it's it just it

comes with the territory, you know. The other thing I've noticed about offense alignment through the year, most of those guys are not real pretty against them and they always marry good looking women. And I always wonder how many years before before I've never heard of an offense two years after their careers. I don't want to get into the they haven't done well to what's that bank account starts starts to start. They don't look as girl smaller,

that girl's going what Mary? What? What? I think? I remember telling one of our offense a Limy introduced me to his girlfriends soon to be wife, and I and she was beautiful and when I'm not saying any names, and I said to him, I go, dude, you know she's marrying you because of your jersey number and the name on that jersey it's not she ain't marrying you because your personality or your looks. It's like he got all mad. Oh no, dude, I got no dude. You

need to know it's probably not gonna last. John will get this. It's like the playboy model that married Jason Duffner. You know that. You knew that wasn't gonna come away through his large phases any phase. Now he's back against the st Thomas No. I asked, my boy, My boy, I gotta tell you he should have done that. Got a brute beauty queen, I said, Man, he did lose weight, He did lose He got dumb the fluctuation. He's back in up. Yeah. Yeah, he's a good guy too. Yeah anyway, anyway,

not good for driving in the podcast. He's out there playing. He's out there trying to make a buck in the golf course, and we're throwing him under the bus for guy can't work on his game without his Come on, man, you think some girl that like he was a playboy mall or something, you're gonna go this guy got no emotion whatsoever, you know. I mean he had somebody else talked to him. Yeah, he said he faced somebody else. Sho talk and somebody else may have been doing it.

I'm not good guys, I don't know, but I'm not going to talk about it anymore. Sitting is a good offensive line. Adam Gates talking about Adam Guatee talking about he's one of his newest offensive alignment too. You know, a veteran player, guy that's still playing at a high level. The leadership that, the experience of winning that he has. You know, anytime you get a guy that's played with the elite quarterback, that's always gonna help your group because

he understands how to speaking, you can. Those guys kind of always help your quarterback just thinking he can always ask. Brian does a good job when he gets around guys that have played with other guys asking questions how those guys did it as well. So, I mean, those guys are always good real information wise as far as you

know what others, especially a good teams. So getting a guy with that, that kind of federal leadership that you know, was excited to come in for us and and be an impact guy with some of our younger players, that was that was that was gonna be good for us, alright. So we got Josh sitting uh in the fold in here, and it's gonna be fun to see those guys when my favorite guy, well, well, I like what you said.

They ask him between moving from left guard to right guard or right guard to left guard, and he says, like Brian, right, you asked with your with your with your opposite hand. Just doesn't work that. We gotta like a guy that that talks in in that terminology, right, simple keeping, He've been very simple. Uh. Some other things going on here. You talking about Sam Young being resigned to help, and I'm with you. You know, Sam Young, I think on that left side it's tough for him.

Gets on that right side and he seems to play pretty well. And you know him and Jesse Davis together on that right side pretty good. Both both think for the last six games or so they played and really had a really good run over there. I think I think certainly that's the reason why Sam is back, and that's the reason that Jesse Davis is gonna be in that mix to possibly be that Jesse first first shot.

He's got the way he played last year. Tim and Ted Larson go out and here it is that will be interested both your starting guards now going after one position. Now that will be fun to watch and the way it goes with Sam Jesse loses that spot. Say he loses that spot, he has position flexibility to at the size he's at, you kick him him outside too, So you know that's the one thing that he probably has. Youth gives him longevity in the league, but his flexibility

to play garden possibly. And look, you get Ted Larson come back, and he's and he can battle it, and all of a sudden, you're not getting what you want out of Jawan. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jesse Davis kick out there. You have Ted Larson and you might be able to kick inside backup. So there's a lot of a lot of flips, you know, a lot

of your six or seven. You're playing more pretty good. Yeah, But the other thing too, as good as you're you're you're you just feel a lot better about your depth there. You feel a lot better about guys who can move around, feel different spots, feel like we can move on to another position instead of always stopping at the offensive line, getting the brakes to a screeching hall. What are we gonna do? A guard? It's always guard talking. We have burned out through the years, and all the fans know

it too. We have just beaten his topic cup. By the way, it's self inflicted because we can't figure it out. We draft and you get rid of And that's what Adam did in your one he rid of three day. Let me put it this way. We didn't drafted guys high draft picks. I'm all gone better. We didn't do a very good job of turning over acorns at the guard position. Let me just put it that way, all right. Can we leave it at that? I don't want to so anyway. So Also, so you got Daniel kil Gore

coming in. Also along with kill Gore comes someone he knows and someone we know down here. Uh. And I'm real happy about I'm really excited to have Frank Gore on this football team. I don't know how much he's got left in the tank. I just you know. I remember I love Frank Gore when he was at Coral Gables. I liked him when he was a freshman at the

University of Miami. I remember telling nobody I said when he married, he had those two knee injuries at in Miami, and he went to San Francisco and to go Jesus, Yeah, the guy Frank Gore. I said, look, let me tell you what, you're gonna get a guy that you're gonna like Frank Gorey's gonna be a great player for you.

But man, I'll tell you what if you'd have seen him before he had those two in knee injuries, he was I think when he injured his for me at first time, he's averaging like ten yards of Kerry at University of Miami or somewhere coming in the fourth quarter he was, and late in the games, guys ahead of we're all first round picks. But Willis and all those

guys in front of it. I will tell you he's the best high school running back that I saw playing in high school football Coral Gables and putting up big numbers against everybody. But I'm like you, he gets to a c l was never the same guy, and yet he's gone on to have one of the greatest careers and never the same player, but was a great player. I mean, it just tells you how good he would national football. And you know what. The funny thing about him, I'd see him working out. I'd see him at the

gym every now and then working. He was just hard working guy and I think he's a great guy to bring in into that room with Kenyan Drake and whoever you fill that room out. By the way, Damian Williams, he's signed, he's off. He's gone with Kansas City, so he's out of another guy. I really liked him a lot. He he brought the juice whenever he played the juice

to the game. He was productive, he was dependable, and he played hurt until the last a couple of games when you're at the shoulder, but that's blocking, blitz blocking. He had to. I mean, he could do a little bit of everything. But guys, we've lost a lot of guys. We couldn't keep them all. So it's it's time to move on with this list. Joe Frank Gore left in the tank. What what do you think? I can't play every down, um, but I think he's gonna get some carries.

Would not be surprised to seem to get seven, eight to ten carries a game. Use him. He can do everything, by the way, and catch the ball the back til you run screens to him. He doesn't have the gear, the extra gear the Kenyan Drake has Hey, listen, Kenyan Drake's best player here on the offense in my opinion right now from what we saw the last five or

six games. So he's still gonna be used. It'll be Adam Gates's job, and he knows what he's doing to get both these guys in there, get him involved, and whatever young guy comes both that guys go down a lot at that position. So I'm guessing they'll still draft another. That would be nice to bring another sound Florida guy back to the roster. Sony Michelle, Oh, that be nice, wouldn't it be pretty good? How about that Georgia with

Chubb and Michelle? How about those two guys. Chubb was the guy that Michelle comes in, bumps him out, and he was a hell I mean, it was a high school trophy guys man playoff system, had American Heritage plantation, really good player. So running back situation, and then they go out and get a quarterback in Brock Oswiler. Well,

I've had more comments. I've had more comments and and and for everybody out there that's listening to this podcast, thinking all Brock was he's gonna be our starting quarterback, didn't bring him into amazed. I'm amazed at how many people since they signed brock Oswiler they've come he's gonna be our starting quarterback. No, no, they brought him in as a backup, the battle to see if you get anybody might not even be in a roster when when

the when the final fifty show. I will tell you one thing, bo, He's twenty seven years old and just by the way, not only not being productive as a quarterback, but even some of the steps that happened in Houston. Well, let me see what is it here. We don't want him, Let me give you, let me pay his fifteen million dollars. I'll give you a draft choice you take take and

then they cut him, and then they cut season. No, he I think he knows if I'm Osswidler, I'm going, okay, this guy knows me when I was decent, and it's gonna be with this guy. He's gonna give me a chance. And if not, this could be it. This could be it. Well, look reputation around having a freaking team pay pay you and give a draft choice for you to get out. Then I would think I would I would think it's an eagle. I think that's a little. Well, that's your

next point, right. I mean, you go to a place where you think somebody's got to play there and he does it. I had a chance to interview him. I wish you were there, Bow, because it looked like he was in another stratosphere. I was just reaching the mic up to He's at six eight, Big guy couldn't have been nicer, all the right things to say. You want to be able. If you're brock Osweiler, your mentality has to be I think along the lines of what Joe said, this is my last chance. I already got paid, I've

already gotten my money. I don't need any more money. Okay, it's made a lot of money. This is my last chance to prove it, not to everybody, prove it to myself that I belong in the National Football League, that that five or six games, that when Peyton got healthy and got along, was able to go finish the rest of the of the season. I belong in this league, and I'm gonna show it. And the best chance I have is to go where I'm familiar, where guy has a familiarity with what I can do with my what

my high bar is, and what my limitations are. And I can feel my way around this offense because this was the vehicle I used to get my contract to get paid. Now, maybe the stars and stripes around him aren't the same bells and whistles he had in Denver that year, but it's gonna get pretty good here. I think you're gonna have some people to be able to throw the football to on this roster. When you look at it, it's not as bad as people are projecting

it to be, especially with a good offensive line. So if you have a chance to make a team, this would be the team for brock Oswire was his former coordinator, and uh Adam has been very good to guys that he's had in the past, giving him another chance to come in. So let see. You remember those old cartoons where the guy was drowning the water. You come up and one finger, two fingers, and when that third finger

came up, you were down. He's on his third finger right now, he's pop popping his head up out of the water. And this this is the last shot. Hey, Owners meetings just wrapped up up in Orlando. Mr Ross spoke, Coach Gaye spoke Um and Mr Ross like I think a lot of people came out and said, hey, look these moves. You know that they had to Can kind of convinced me a little bit. I'm kind of paraphrasing, but you know I had to ask, hey, what what

are we doing here? What are we doing? Uh? And and you know, spoke to to coach Gaze, Mike Tannen Bomb, Chris Greer and and evidently based on his conversation, he feels comfortable with what with what they've done. But uh, but as an owner, you know, I kind of like the fact that he's going, hey, let let me let me I want I want to know what's going on here. You're you got it's your team, you guys handle it.

But I need to know what's going on. Well, I think so, because at the end of day, it's his team. You know, it's my team. I'm stroking the checks. I'm the guy that has my name. When they go and put six and ten, you see Adam Gaze. But owner it's Steven Ross. And this guy hasn't had a whole lot of success, uh, you know, since he's had ownership of the team, So you want to be able to know what's going on. And he's the guy that you know,

was so high on a Dominican Sue. But when you when you look back at it, gosh, he did everything he was supposed to do, But he's not gonna affect wins and losses on a rate that it is going to be a quarterback or a or a safety or a corner or a defensive end or or a running back. That position just doesn't get it done. Now, when you've got a good team around you, when you've got other players beside you, where Sue's going Now, maybe it's it's a pretty good deal. You want to see an impact

on a defensive tackle. You you go watch with Rams, are gonna be like this year with donald Is sitting there and Dominicans in the middle. Now, now there's there, there's a you know, that's a formable defense. A little different tape maybe than you guys on in Dominican Sue. Um he was, You're right. He was an owner's guy and they were close because in Dominicansue like business like being around. Mr Ross likes being around that. That's in Dominican.

So you don't want to hang around with the player. You want to hang around with Mr Ross and learn more about that business that run defense better be good or in the back of our owner's mind, is gonna be But it wasn't very good with him. I mean, and look, I I still I think to me, Dominican Sue was the best player on this football team for the last couple of years. He did what you're supposed to do, and he did it well. He was an

impact guy. But I'm with you, John, not the type of impact that demands that kind of money that you just can't you get double dion. I by the way, I agree with you, guys, I'm not I'm not disagreeing. He was really good football player, but he wasn't getting you Aaron Donald sax every year. I don't know what. I'm sorry sorry to tell people that were doing that three fourth playing in the middle, three pound guy. Now maybe they're gonna have different I think they're gonna have

some different defense. And the other thing about him is and he was pretty good with the young guys, got Sean Taylor and Jordan Phillips last year. But beyond that, I don't know that he was a guy that really um reached out and and and helped make the team better beyond his meeting room. You know what, I mean, you know, he wasn't. No, he wasn't. He was just you know, he was he was a to himself guy, and he was you know, he's an egotistic guy and

he's making a lot of money. Made him good. But look, I think this whole thing was about getting getting paid. While he was at one year, fourteen million paid, you've gone pumped up next to him. Well, he drove the truck up in Detroit, got paid. He drove it here and got paid. And now one year deal is pretty good and and you know, with with the salary cap growth next year, it's probably in line for a big deal. He has another big year. He's probably got another another

big big deal coming is up. Ram is gonna be fun to watch. Yeah, they got a lot of good players. Who's the other corner they got for the chief, Peter Peters him And look they were they were a hell of a team last year. You get rid of the guy who they're getting back in quarterbacking and defensive tackle. There's some guys gonna be getting paid in the near future. So Mr Ross spoke, Coach Gaze spoke a little bit, and uh, you know, whenever he talks, people kind of

get going one way or another. But uh uh, you know, Adams Adams to me, Adams Adams kind of giving out coach speak right now, right just saying the right things. He can't wait for. He can't wait for both of these guys on. He can't win this is this, this is not gonna win this, officer, there's there's season. The only coach I think that was looking forward to going to go to the owner's meeting and speaking was John Gruden. Right, he just wanted you just want to get out there.

You know he holding court. Yeah, you gotta imagine him just holding court. But every other coach just get me through this. Just let me get through this, Let me answer the question without what were you telling the story before we went on? Bill Belichick didn't even want to sit at the table. Was let Logangan and Jeff want at the table. Said I'm gonna go stand in the corner. You guys, bring the cameras over me. I'll be there in about fifteen or twenty minutes later than when everybody

else is there. I don't think he wants to go those meetings. No, I think he didn't even show up for the coaches picture. He never does, guys, think you're going to get a picture. How tough is it being a beat writer for New England with him being the guy when he gives you absolutely zero zero, right, that would be that would be a tough one. Yeah. Yeah, And listen, he's so good and do what he wants you bitch to the fans. If you're a writer and media person about Belichick, I'd like to talk to your

PR guy. But you got you know, getting coach. Ye, good luck what he's done. My resume, here's my resume, and you know, and you know how those beat writers are no matter how well do we, no matter how many Super Bowls they win, they're looking for that negative thing. They're looking for something to dig in. That's like that. Yeah, that's why the triangle was so prevalent at the end of the year with the owner and the more they try to dig, the more Belichick just clams up and

gives them absolutely zero. When that article hit, I was like, I sure like they had that problem with quarterback on the head coach for give me that for decade plus, I'll take it. I'll take those two decades. Excuse me. The other thing going on the owners mean some new rules, Uh, I'm not sure. I'm a hundred percent understanding of them lauring the helmet. Um good luck, good good luck on that. I just definitely know why. I know why they're doing.

It's about bow. We see it with guys, our own age and what they're going through, all the legal problems right now they're going on the league. The lawsuits are are ridiculous, the amount of lawsuits from former players. So I understand that, but boy, look at the fans talking about what are you doing to our game? What are you can do on a short shrtage and goal line? Guys are getting down low bow. There's gonna be helmet to helmet. There's nothing I deal with it every week

in college football about the crown of helmet. The crown was this small area. Now the crown is a little bit bigger. So your definition of the crown if it gets there. They're right now they're just saying helmet, But they've got to they've got to take it to the crown and then they're gonna have to define the crown. It's unbelievably the tackling in this league, which is already not very good. Uh and and it's all not very

good because no one can practice tackling anymore. It's it's it's it's become a non issue when it could come to practicing. Then you get into a game where you're playing full speed and you wonder why the tackling so lousy in the league. This isn't gonna make tackling any better. So get ready for the league to be some we see some really crappy tackling out there. We're gonna be the first running back the runs over the top of a guy with it leading with his helmet that's gone

back and maybe get kicked out of the game. Touchdown. No, no, no, there's penalty. Have to go back and reevaluate this. And again it was a thirty two old vote. And I understand why it's about health and lawsuits, but as a defensive player, as a defensive player, when you're trying to stop a running back, a receiver, anybody with the football, and you can't get your head in front of him or you get your head where it's supposed to be.

But that running back or receiver lower drops, lowers his lord, changes the target, changes your target by him lowering, and you're already committed. I I really don't know what they want you and I understand. I'm with you, Joe. I understand they want to make the game safer, they want to cut cut down on the head injuries, they want to cut down the long term effects of multiple head injuries. I understand that all all, but man, I'll tell you

what I just I'm like a lot of fans. I feel like this league is walking a fine line, but to the point where we see a game that we really don't recognize that much anymore. Welcome to the National Football League and only getting worse. And by the way I heard, I heard it all morning on the fans comments, and it was what are you doing? And let's go

to flag football? I don't want to be an official is going to be so difficult from college football from that speed to go into the NFL and trying to take the head out of the game or the top of the helmet out of the game with the speed that these guys are going at will be nearly impossible. I gave you another one. How about in this catch rule and complete or fumble? Right, So here's the Here are the three elements that go into the catch rule.

And I think they changed for you know that they that that that or the ball moved that catch no catch, catch no catch. We saw that in the Super Bowl. That the one out of the back of the end zone. The other one where the tight end went over the top. Did the ball move didn't move too much more? Do you have control? It was, Well, they're taking that out now, so so so then so the three things that are the three elements that that would define a catch control

two ft or another body part inbound. So that's the old John mad Noble one equal whatever so so that and then make a football move, which those are the those are the definitions. It's still pretty vague to me that that leaves that doesn't define anything very tightly to me official when you got guys as fast as these guys are, I I can't. It looks incomplete to me. And then they slow it down away. He had it for three steps. He had a lot longer than I thought.

So you're gonna be looking at that stuff trying to out to have a lot of replay. Here's the part I don't get, guys that no one's addressed with the catch roll. Now, if I'm a running back, I'm a quarterback, I'm a wide receiver. I get the ball in the field of play, and I'm going towards the goal line, and all I have to do is break the plane of the goal the front of the line with the football.

The plays over. It's a touchdown. I'm a receiver now and I'm I'm stretching to get the football, right, I've taken it from the air, have it. I'm gonna stretch to try to break the plane. The ball comes loose. I'm not a runner and and I'm not considered a runner yet. They haven't addressed that situation because, like you said, Joe in the Super Bowl and with the Steelers in the playoffs, that guy's stretching to break the plane. He's now not a runner, he's a receiver. He hasn't really

run to make a football move. He's stretching to make a football move. That ball breaks the plane, but now it comes loose. How am I going to officiate that? As they're gonna say they're all catches. They wanted to get rid of this stuff about the ball. The question is gonna be the fumble part of it? Yeah, well, but it's got to be looking at you. Here's what I don't understand. How how can you have a rule where okay, if I'm a running back, once I crossed

the plane of the ball, touchdown. If I even if I fun not a receiver receiver and I crossed the plane, well it's a touchdown. But we gotta see what happens when you fall to the ground. Is that ball is still gonna ruin your hand? I I don't know, you know. To me, it's it's either either you cross the goal line or you don't cross the goal line. And once you cross the goal line, everything after that is over. Well, everything with the ground now and is out is out now,

which is good. We'll see. I agree those officials, those poor bastards got a tough jobs. Hey, how about the one rule? I do like? The one rule I do like, though you don't. I don't know if if you're a gambler you like this rule. But when you score in ot you don't have to bring out like eleven warm bodies that act like you want to kick the exact point or take a knee. It's just done. Now. There's a lot of games one or lost in Vegas because those guys came back out in either or they yeah,

they're trying. The Vegas is trying to retool now with new rules. Hey, I want to grab some questions here along the way. Albert's stritch from Facebook coming. He's not a former quarterback, that guy Albert. Yeah, no, no, Frankie Albert, but not. I think we wasted too much time on Ryan Tannehill. Time to move on. I don't I don't agree with that. I think that Ryan looked disappointed that he's had the injury that's taken two years for him

to get back in the field. But I just I just go back to a couple of years ago, his lad before he got hurt, he was playing at at at certainly the highest level he's played at since he's been here, at a level that that really quite frankly took this team to a playoff for him feel a great deep ball, you know, I still get like he can't throw a deep and I go, actually, he's one of the best quarterbacks song the deep ball before the

before the injury. Um bo. I agree. I'm more worried about him off coming off these injues and getting back to a d percent. But I think he's on a mission. I think his personality has changed a little bit. He's a little more a little more open, and it'll be a little more open and going damn it. Has he been on your show lately? No, we're still working on you get a tech Joe. I thought, I'm talk so well, I'm gonna get you know what. I'm gonna ask him when I see him in the building next week, I'm

gonna ask him. I'm gonna ask him and saying, do you know what Joe really wants? One? If I asked him. I saw him last week. I said, you're going on Joe Roses show. He goes who Well, he said he would, but he's always on vacation. You guys so bad. He said,

he takes cruises and everything. Said. I said, you know, Joe Rosy goes yeah, around the clock to alright, Facebook, Timmy Booker, Timmy Booker in at Facebook, tanil with eight and five until he's injured, he'll be fine with Well, it's basically what I should have I should have gone to Timmy for the answer on that one. Timmy Booker action on that one. You know, if if we can, if Ryan comes back and he's the same Ryan that he was when he left, at that point, yeah, I

think we've got to I think we've got. How about this though, guys, this is finally I think this, even though he didn't play last year, he's around it. He's in the offense. This is Gayze's third time around with him once playing, once on the sidelines. I think his familiarity with what he's doing is going to help him a lot. And he's a veteran. Now, he's not a young guy that you gotta it's it's swimmer. It's swimmer or drowned now. But at least you got it on

your terms. You're healthy, You're coming back to an offense that you like, you thrived in. Let's get some Let's see, let's see what he does. I mean, why not. He's He's our best option right now. There's no other options out there. And Joe, you know I used you watched him last year. I watched him last year before the game's coming out. Come out for every game, Go out in the field, throw some balls. Do this. Now. This is guy's dying to get back in the football field.

I mean, I mean he he did he any chance he got to be on that field. He was out in that field. And this is not a guy that was you know, stayed away. He was out in the middle of everything. He was in meetings, he was doing all those things. I think he did everything everything right to get himself back, you know, beyond going back to whether should he had surgery the first you know that that's that's the question that's gonna linger. I think it all linger for him. Probably life is you know, should

I have done it? Or you know, can he get back and can run again? I thought to read option runs helped him a lot, helps and helps people around him, help that offensive line at that time, because how many times did you have of third and short or fourth and short where he pulled the football and gets out of there and gives you the threat of that widens

the defense. Now you can run it in between the tackles you're at tackling back then j J I or thought you were Triumphle Steve Whitley coming in from Facebook. Frank Gore will always be a Niner in my heart. I hope he does good. He plays hard on every down, you know, Frank Gar Gore, in my heart, he's always a game. It's always a game. Well he is gonna go forty. Loved him, Neab, That guy has been so durable into his late. Atties hasn't missed any games. I

can't watch those games. I go. I can't believe he's still played at that level after all these years. You know, I got to talk to him last week. He still sounds exactly the same, still the same demeanor, kind of low monotone. Boys, serious, I could have fun. I think he's not coming in here to get twenty carries the game. They're not gonna do that. But boy, and I think Kenyan Drake what he can do for him first time?

Can it might happen to be late for a meeting or not doing the way he goes a good watch. Just he needs to just watch Frank and see how he goes about his business. And I don't think he had the balls to even do that being around Frank or when he watched his Frank or after he was going I'm nine ten years yeah, guy, And by by the way, by by the way, being late for meetings and stuff, that's gotta end. That's gotta end. But if even talk about it, but it's the leading brought up.

Christ You know what I was just I was your I was with Cornelia's Ben At the other day Cornelians played fourteen years in the league, I said, Biscuit, how many years? How many? How many meetings you miss in fourteen years? He goes, I was late for one because I was in a I was in a snowstorm. My guard my car went into a ditch and I couldn't get out of a ditch. He said, That's the only time I was late for a meeting. One one for me. And when he my fault, my stinking cousin who was

with the pirates, got me back. That guy was always in trouble. You relied on that guy to get to to a meeting on time? Yeah, screwed up? Screwed up? Yeah, But I I don't well anyway, I just said the change, Look, certainly is a change, and I'm not I'm not saying that it happens just here on this with ball to him, I think all around the National Football League. I don't know how guys are that are that are doing a

job like that, that that what's more important? Man, what's more important than being where you're supposed to be on time? I don't know. I can't figure out how how you could do that on a quasi consistent basis, even be close to being late, especially these guys, they're here six something in the Morning's seven o'clock in the morning. Chris Petting on Facebook, Gore is not a feature back, but back to grind out a few yards uh drinks A

future back, Frank brings leadership and knowledge locker room. I think, Uh, I think that's exactly it. You know, you, like you said, Joey's not gonna get twenty five carries. You're gonna get everybody both for for six and seven year runs. But would you be surprised goal line in short yard not carrying, not at all all And like you, but like we talked about earlier, you know, for him to be a mentor uh to Kenyan and whatever other young backs are

in there. Uh. And look everybody on the team, I think everybody, everybody the team is gonna watch this guy work and go that guy still I'm excited just to watch him, watch him play again and for us another three or four thousand yards receptions. I started talking about that, well, you started talking about the Hall of Fame, A potential

Hall of Fame career. Paula Jake Cobble got girls coming in here on Facebook, Joe remaining remaining cautiously optimistic some better early moves and acquisitions than in years past, but other teams in the league have made some big changes in the off season, all too early, to respect, I agree with that is way too early, respective, I think for anybody. And and you know, Joe the the the I talked to Bobby McCain about this. I was talking

to him a little bit about it is. You know, for for a long time he's been like change on every team, every team close, there's a turnover on every team via all these things. This year, it seems like that number has just gone gone certain teams, for certain teams that really haven't done it. How about the Patriots, Yeah, just going out the frontline talent, there's no longer on

that roster. And so there's a there's a change in free agency now where I think it's even I think it's going to become It certainly did this year and probably in going in the fusee you become a lot more volatile. Look at the Browns. The Browns has done it every year for the last what four or five six years? Look where it's gotten them? Yeah, got them? That's with and on draft picks, Yeah that those are

real bad whiffs and every pick there. I don't think they've had a draft pick lower than what four or five they've had to almost in every every first round in the last five years. As a Johnny Manzel, his year wasn't even the worst first round pick. The guy taken in the first round ahead of them, or what's the defensive back that plade with the Steelers, say a year for the Browns. I can't remember his name. I don't even think he's in football now either. He's good.

Who's the guy I'm trying to think. I know, I can see his face. I can't remember him well. But that's like you because because every everybody that goes up to Cleveland, you forget about him because you never hear from him again. So anyway, Trevor Hynes on Facebook, I think they should draft a quarterback. Uh, if either Rosen, Mayfield or Allen is still on the board, I can tell you this for a fact, Rosen, Alan and Donald

argue me anywhere near on the board. When the Dolphins come around Mayfield, his chances of being there for eleven right now are probably none. I think just bye for the Jets jumped up there. Uh that that goes well there goes there, goes to Dolphins in a in a first round quarters. Canna make this draft so much fun. You look at Arizona and Buffalo. They need quarterbacks, man, they're not going to those two guys. They and they

can't stay where they are to get it. And it's gonna cost a lot to jump up, man if they want to get into game. So I would agree both those four guys are long gone. I would still be I wouldn't be surprised if Denver, even signing case Keeno, wouldn't go out and get another quarterback because they've got Paxton Lynch sitting there, who they drafted late in the first round a couple of years ago, hasn't done anything.

They're not sold on that show. No, So here's the follow up that questions if not, if not a quarterback draft? Vita via the quarterback or the defensive tack out of Washington replace Suit Strong was talking to Buddy Mine. He went to the same high school I went to. He's a Middle Peters High grad. Yeah, yeah, I'm blown away your high school. Now. You tell me the high school

is really good? Yeah? You know what? That little town, a little town built around the dump man every now and then it spits out something that but but but but but my my buddy, that's that's out in the Bay Area. Middle Peter still to watch him. Said, this guy's beast man. He said, he's just a bad, strong, quick You know, Joe, you had a chance to play with someone's out there. I played with a bunch of someones at Sanjose State in high school. And and give

me some more. You know. I love those because they're great athletes, country strong, good guys, funny to be around there there. I just I just like those guys, and I like the type of players. I'd be thrilled if we got a player of that capability on our roster. And I wouldn't be disappointed if we had two of those linebackers that are up there. But one of the two, I don't care which one. Well, I think the way the draft is setting up in that top ten right now,

one of those linebackers is gonna be there. This kid via via Vida, he may very well be there. Um So there there's gonna be some options out there. And look, if you're not gonna get a quarterback and me and and there's not a tight end. Really that's that's that's worthy of that pick. I think defense, you gotta go defend, whether it's a defensive defensive tackle or whether it's even

another cornerback. You know, I know out there and up Adams talking up his tight ends, and I know he sees things maybe you and I don't see on Sundays, and he's gotta go get it, go get I mean, I I go get somebody, Adam, you you gotta get. Don't get somebody else's guy that came in that you saw, have a good practice, Go out and get get one of these titles. Get a real guy out. There's gonna be plenty of tight ends in this draft. They're gonna

be selected. I think, in my opinion, the middle of his late second round, third round, fourth round, there's gonna be about six of those guys that go. Can we get one earlier in the fourth just I don't think so. I'm look, I would whatever they for some reason to get it tight. But how much how much is gonna flex out? Give me a second, give me is gonna flex I'll use my second round pick for a tight

end if one of those guys is there. Get from South Dakota State, South Carolina, hate kid from Wisconsin right, the home of Scott almost got a real one, and State's got the kid right really good. So yeah, I mean, so there's there's guys out there. But I'm with you, Joe going going and get in the second round. Go grab one of those guys. Man, if you can blocks not changing his arm, is he gonna flex him out.

He's gonna put trips on one side. We've seen him flex it, tight end out the other and try over and over and over and over with Julius Thomas on post and by the way, he had that mismatch worked a handful of times. My man just couldn't get the ball in his hands. Yeah, he left a couple out there, but so yeah, I mean, look, it's it's guys. Got quiet on me. Give me that guy, I mean, give me that. I'm just trying to find the words. Bring back. Bring Anthony Fasano back to block and get a risk.

I don't care if you guy with Anthony, I got no I could come back less. I could care less. If they go out and find uh uh a tight end that can't block but can run down the field and catch. That's the National Football League, Now, yeah, that's it man, Scott Corbin, Whiteouts. You know, there's no there's no fullbacks left in the league anymore. But there's a ton of tight ends run around making plays out there. Now. How many teams do you figure have a fullback right

now in the league? Five? Four or five? Yeah, there had to be five would be the over under, I think. And if they have it, it's just one. Oh no, no, there's no backup. There's no back up. Scott Corbin. White outs are diamond dozen. White House don't win games. Anyone can catch a ball and run. We need beasts on the old line and beasts of the linebacker. I agree with those last statement, the last statements. We need beats on the old line and linebacker. I don't receivers can change.

I'll take Julio Jones and take my chances. Yeah, man, I agree that there's there's not a diamond dozen. No, no, no, there's a bunch of out there. They come at all different sizes. I agree, absolutely, But there there's a handful better not. We'll take the studs that that are out there on the league. Absolutely. Scott Lemon, lem Lemoine, Lemoyne, Lemoyne, I'm Scott Lemoyne on Facebook. This is Gay's third year.

It's got to come together this year. This is a great team, but injuries and the attitudes have killed us. I'm keeping the faith, go fins. You know what, I like to see how this team. I'd like this, If nothing else out of this team, I'd like to see him not beat themselves. And and and and penalties. Penalties. Penalties have been a bane to this football team over the last four or five years. You can't you can't beat the other team if you can't beat your own

goddamn self. They got they got two problems there. And with the penalties, especially on offense, the putting yourself constantly in third and thirteen, fourteens and fifteens, you can't win well. And get the players that got called back. You get the first and fifteen because you jump off sides on on first down. Now you're first and fifteen, right, You know what I You know, I always see as soon as I see at red penalty flag come over. You know what, I look over, I go look and see

the putter start kicking into the net. Well, it's hard. First first us tell you you're not gonna come back from things like that. How many plays you figured they had called back last year that were first downs? Pretty place, pretty good places. They had a lot of yards, They had a lot of those hidden yards first downs that came back, or or plays that you know play or defensively, plays where you stopped them and you give them fresh downs, you get them. They got them from both sides, the

big ones. I really you know, you talk about penalties, you talk about first down. There's a couple of traits on this team that the Dolphins displayed two years ago on the ten and six run that I'd like to see come back now. One not not really out of necessity, but just to have the confidence to do it. And the other one needs to happen right away. We cannot start football games the way we've started in two thousand seventeen, where you're going three and out, you give a long drive,

you're down seven nothing, you're down nothing. Yes, But that other trade I'm talking about is the ability to win close games and find a way to make plays at the end of the game. You don't always want to have to rely on it, but in that season, for that for some special reason, the team had the ability to win close games. And this team by the way you look at it, the way people are talking about it,

They're gonna be in some close games. You know, that's just the reality the national every game, every game, right, So you gotta have that ability to find ways not to make those mistakes early and late, because that's when it that's when it gets. Two years ago, you go back to San Diego, four interceptions in the fourth quarter off Philip Rivers, Uh, the Rams, you're down four team who game or whatever? Thirteen whatever games were just you know, those kind of games you got to play in New York.

I think it was Walt Akin's blocked the uh right, the punt put and and and so you get well, yeah, I mean you get the But that's what that's And I remember talking during the offseason last year, was that was that, look, this team could be a better team than they had last year, but still not win as many games because they won so many games by that by a slim bast in l a by by there not even stirst down being able to kneel down to

say night night. We're done around those numbers. Both talking about with the penalties, third down's got to get better on offense and uh and then you break down the numbers of giveaways and takeaways brutal just looking at him last night again, turn the ball over, the worst turnover teams in football, and takeaways not nearly enough, not enough interceptions, nothing. That's got to get better. And I can't score seventeen and give up twenty four and covers got to tighten

up a little bit, you know. There there's just too many guys waltson down the field. And hey, when you're six and ten, there's a lot of things on that list. And we're not saying anything that those guys is upstairs don't and when you're ten and six, there's a lot of things on that list, But there's a heck of a lot of traits that come in that mask some of those things. The last one out here, Dar inspires

we need to get more athletic and linebacker. None of these quarterbacks are me in the draft to leven understand that. But yeah, I mean, you know it's going back to tight ends. We we need somebody, whether it's a safety, whether it's a linebacker that that can either disrupt a tight end from his route or can cover a tight end. Yeah, we we have struggled for years around here, allowing tight

ends to have some big, big, big games. We got to see two of the best in the business in Kansas City and New England last year and what they can do. And it could have been a lot worse. New England or excuse me, City City. He was wide open. Yeah, it could have been a Game of the week the way he was running. You go to Super Bowl, the Super Bowl was one or it was won by quarterbacks

and tight ends. You take the two positions, the second half, different second half for goal and those guys, those those games were decided by tight ends in that league. And if that, if you don't believe tight ends are important in this league, just look at that game and that's a microcosm of what goes on every week. Tight ends making plays helping you win football games. And if you can't cover those guys, you've got very little chance of

winning football games. It's hard. It's hard to win football games in the National Football League, especially on offense when you're like you said, Joe, to your point, when you're throwing at a high percentage of the time and you can't protect it, and you've got to be able to to utilize the middle of the field, and whether that's a tight end, whether that's a running back on option rounds, whether that's a wide out that can kick down in motion and be able to get down the middle of

the field. You've got to be able to threaten not only on the outside, but down the middle, and that's where tight ends usually thrive. Joe, it's it's kind of about do it for today, Johnny.
