1:00
to the media on Wednesday and
1:02
shared some insight into the team's
1:04
long-term tee building strategy, the
1:06
strategy if the team picks it 21

2:00
the thing that you probably don't know unless you've been
2:02
here about the NFL Combine is
2:06
you when you think you got your day lined up, you
2:09
get pulled in 18,000 different directions. That was me yesterday because
2:11
I know we did the first show, the morning show yesterday,
2:14
said, you know, we're going to do a double dip. Chris Greer is going
2:16
to speak later today. Well, Chris Greer
2:19
speaks and by the time they post the video
2:21
of the Chris Greer interview and I get the
2:23
transcript of the Chris Greer interview, it's a little
2:25
later in the afternoon that
2:27
I've been anticipating and then we had a dinner reservation
2:29
for locked on and getting all
2:32
the locked on folks together, kind of go over
2:34
strategy for tomorrow's content
2:36
and sharing intel from
2:38
what we got the previous day. And then a
2:40
couple of people that I know that are in agency that are
2:42
here doing work representing players, hey, do you want to
2:45
get ketchup, grab a beer, whatever. And long story short,
2:47
I got back to my hotel and it was
2:50
1am and I'm like, well, I didn't do the
2:53
Chris Greer podcast. So we're going to do it
2:56
on Thursday morning and see if we can find another excuse
2:58
to do a double dip later in the week. So it
3:01
is always crazy here
3:03
in Indianapolis. And the
3:06
people who come for the first time, they always come away
3:08
and they're like, wow, it's nothing like what I thought the
3:10
combine was going to be. Because what you see sitting
3:12
at home is the TV
3:14
stuff. And the TV
3:16
stuff is like eight on the list of
3:18
things that get accomplished here at the NFL
3:20
Combine. So it is very
3:22
much a job
3:25
fair networking event
3:27
that just sometimes
3:31
puts through the wringer and I got put through the
3:33
wringer yesterday. So my objective today is to not get
3:35
put through the wringer and stay on course. And that
3:37
starts by coming to you guys and
3:39
talking about what Chris Greer had to say. And
3:43
Chris Greer spoke on everything from Xavier
3:45
Howard and Toronto and Armstead and Robert
3:47
Hunt and Cam Smith
3:50
and Tua and draft
3:52
strategy and long-term
3:54
approach to building a roster and
3:57
how a quarterback on a second contract would hype it
3:59
that way. change that a
4:02
lot of good stuff so I tried to pick the
4:04
most important stuff for perspective on
4:06
the team which is what I always try to do right
4:08
and there's some fans that are out there and I see
4:10
you in the YouTube comments and I see you on social
4:13
media and you only hear you don't hear about perspective and
4:15
that like that's fine okay but
4:17
the world's gonna keep on turning the
4:20
Dolphins are gonna try to keep getting better
4:23
and they are very
4:25
much within their competitive
4:27
window still as a team
4:29
the question is is
4:31
this the year that you unlock
4:33
enough new things to go
4:35
into a different level that's
4:38
that's the mystery for this team but
4:41
as Chris Greer talks about you know they look at everything
4:43
in both the short term and the long term and
4:46
I think that's something
4:48
that as we prep for this first clip
4:50
it and snippet from Chris Greer
4:54
it's important to keep in mind that the
4:56
decision-making process is not just
4:58
like 2024 is not the last season of
5:00
NFL play right and
5:03
as they continue to build as
5:06
so long as they continue to be competitive they
5:09
are going to continue to have the chances to
5:13
cyclically build up while having
5:16
a floor that is competitive on an annual
5:18
basis it's kind of the ideal that they're
5:20
going for and they've aimed
5:23
of locked that in the last four years
5:25
that's what they've been they've been competitive they've
5:27
been in postseason appearances that's
5:29
not why we play the game obviously
5:31
that's not nobody's checking their resume is
5:33
full based off of that they've
5:36
achieved the floor that they want to aspire for now
5:38
you got to cyclically build up to
5:40
attack the ceiling that you want to have too
5:42
so let's hear from Chris
5:44
Greer about how the
5:47
long-term strategy from a team building
5:49
perspective needs to be different as you
5:51
work your way through particularly if you have
5:53
a quarterback on a second contract this from
5:55
Chris Greer yesterday well it's I mean it's
5:57
a challenge but I think the one thing
5:59
that Brandon Shore and Max and
6:01
Paul Tonnesen when we talk is we're
6:03
always looking short term and long term.
6:05
And so in terms of
6:08
having some flexibility and how contracts are structured
6:10
and stuff. So again,
6:12
yes, every year you can't go make those moves
6:15
that people get excited for, or help your teams. Because I
6:17
mean, you're seeing it around the league, it's not sustainable. At
6:20
some point you have to reel it
6:22
back a little bit and then add
6:24
some youth and influx and then
6:27
cherry pick here and there where you go. And
6:29
so, you know, we've been looking at
6:33
all different ways in terms of building this
6:35
and keeping our roster competitive. Flexibility,
6:40
contract structure. These are the things that we
6:43
talk about on this show quite a bit about
6:46
how and why the
6:48
Dolphins are approaching this
6:50
competitive window that they are in. And now
6:52
that they are in the competitive window, the
6:55
onus is on them to maximize the competitive window.
6:57
So I do think it's interesting to hear Chris
6:59
Greer say that part out loud that there is
7:01
going to come a point in time where
7:04
cyclically you have
7:06
to scale back and
7:08
add another infusion of young talent. Is
7:12
this that year for Miami? I think maybe it's
7:14
a little bit more of a balancing act. I
7:16
would expect them to not be as aggressive. And
7:20
they weren't last year either. And I think that's
7:22
important to remember as well. We went through the
7:24
first wave of free agency and you knew the
7:26
team didn't have the draft capital early. They didn't
7:28
have a first round pick. And
7:31
they still made enough adjustments
7:34
from scheme and talent and
7:36
selectively choosing players to go from a
7:39
nine win team that arguably was better
7:42
than that, if not for the
7:44
injuries, particularly at the quarterback position and
7:46
at the cornerback position in 2022 to a team that
7:50
was an 11 win team that quite
7:52
frankly should have been more than 11
7:54
win team, if not for the injuries
7:56
that they had and some very frustrating
7:58
late season lapses. So
8:02
the team was better last year than the year before.
8:07
I think the team still has the opportunity
8:09
to make economic transitions in
8:11
certain spots to cheaper players that are
8:14
still good players. And
8:16
they have more resources than they had last year
8:18
from a draft capital
8:20
perspective. And whether
8:22
that means moving out of that pick, whether that
8:24
means staying in that pick, whether that means kind
8:27
of just being status quo
8:29
this year and then being ready to make a
8:32
fuller transition next year. Hearing
8:34
that part out loud is important
8:36
perspective for Dolphins fans because they
8:38
look at the short term and
8:41
the long term. So when we talk about contracts and exit
8:44
strategies out of contracts based on how they're
8:46
structured and overlapping and intertwining the
8:48
big picture in the here and now
8:50
and the big picture on a five
8:52
year forecast for the team – that's
8:56
an arbitrary number of years, by the way. I don't
8:58
know that for a fact. It's
9:02
not just haphazard and it's not as reckless
9:04
as I think it has at
9:06
times been advertised
9:08
as. There's
9:11
a how and a why here and now
9:14
with long term. And the
9:16
flexibility of the contracts is a big part
9:18
of that. And I give Chris Greer, Brandon
9:20
Schor, their whole team in that regard a
9:23
lot of props because I think that's one
9:25
of the things that this organization does
9:28
pretty well. They
9:30
put themselves in position to
9:32
pay players significant money
9:34
to have good talent on the
9:36
team, but they do so
9:38
in a way that allows
9:41
them fluidity in how they
9:44
exit those contracts or how they phase contracts
9:46
in and phase other contracts out and
9:49
allow them to overlap those contracts with
9:51
each other to ideally
9:54
maximize your competitiveness within your winning
9:56
window, which is what this team
9:58
does. It
10:01
was neat to hear Chris Greer kind of touch on that a little
10:03
bit, because that is certainly
10:05
one of the main
10:08
storylines of this team
10:10
as they try to
10:13
ride the wave and continue to
10:15
get better is that those
10:18
simultaneous pursuits is
10:22
essential to what Miami is ultimately
10:25
trying to achieve, which is competitiveness
10:28
on an annual basis where, yeah,
10:30
maybe cyclically you get talent lined
10:32
up more attractively in one year
10:34
versus another, but nevertheless, you're
10:36
still going to compete on an annual basis,
10:38
which is what anybody really could ask for
10:41
in the NFL unless you have Tom Brady
10:43
or Patrick Mahomes, just
10:45
being honest. So up
10:48
next, we have the strategy for
10:50
the pick at 21, assuming the Dolphins
10:52
stay at 21, which Chris
10:55
Greer did not commit to because of course not. Why
10:57
would he? That's next here on
10:59

12:12
So the Dolphins obviously are looking at
12:14
their first round
12:16
draft selection in
12:19
three years. The team's last
12:21
first round picks were Jalen
12:23
Waddle and Jalen Phillips as players
12:25
that are now eligible for
12:28
contract extensions after their third year
12:30
of NFL play. So
12:34
Miami obviously do the inventory. They had three
12:36
first round picks scheduled after those draft selections
12:38
in the last two years and they
12:41
went to Roger Goodell.
12:46
Roll my eyes. We'll see if anything happens
12:49
with the defensive coordinator who left
12:51
Miami and the same day was hired by the
12:53
team. Bradley
12:56
Chum and Tyree Kill. Great
13:00
players. No question. Great players.
13:02
Players that
13:05
I think showcase their worth at a very high level for the
13:07
Dolphins this year. But
13:11
as Chris Greer said at some
13:13
point you have to scale back
13:15
those efforts and you have to
13:18
get the fresh infusion of the
13:20
next wave of rookie
13:23
labor that is coming at
13:25
20% of the cost. And
13:28
they have to be good players if you're going to
13:30
have success. So that's kind
13:32
of where Miami sits. Their pick at 21. I
13:37
have said and I know I just went on Joe Rose
13:39
earlier this week on WQAM and
13:42
shared this sentiment as well. But
13:45
the Dolphins need to do everything in their power to
13:47
make sure that when draft weekend comes
13:49
around they don't feel like they're painted
13:52
into a corner. This is what Chris Greer had
13:54
to say about the strategy at picking at 21
13:56
assuming that's where they pick with
13:58
their first round draft selection. in this year's draft? I think
14:01
at the end of the day, we'll take a 21. So
14:04
we always take the best player. And
14:06
if it's someone that even
14:08
has that position, I
14:12
don't want to speculate position, but position people think
14:14
we're stacked at, you never know. Last
14:16
year, when we said our outside
14:18
linebacker group was really deep, and
14:20
the things happened. And then the
14:22
receivers, a waddle went down a
14:24
little bit. Tyreek got banged up.
14:26
So in this league, the
14:28
way the injuries happen, you
14:31
need depth everywhere. So you can have the
14:33
safe pick, but if there's
14:35
a guy that you truly believe
14:37
is a supremely
14:39
talented player and loves football, and
14:41
will work to reach
14:44
that ceiling, then it's up
14:46
to us to spend the time and invest in
14:48
them, to find out and then you make that
14:50
decision. You feel it's best for the roster, not
14:53
just short term, but long term as well. Short
14:56
term and long term, right? And that's
14:58
the challenge, I think for me,
15:01
for everybody who is dissatisfied with where this
15:04
team is at or is too impatient with
15:06
where this team is at. The
15:09
teams that have the long
15:13
term competitiveness and
15:17
the ability to do
15:20
this year in and year out, and
15:22
can make personnel moves and see them
15:24
come to fruition, be it through
15:26
the draft or free agency or trades or whatever, there's
15:30
a certain level of stability within football operations that
15:32
has to come with that. And I'm not saying
15:34
it has to be like the Baltimore Ravens where
15:36
Ozzy Newsom did it for 20 years. And I'm
15:38
not saying it has to be like the
15:41
Pittsburgh Steelers where they
15:43
had three head coaches since the
15:45
Nixon administration, right? Like it doesn't have to
15:47
be to that extreme. But
15:50
if we're just like, progress
15:52
was made, but progress isn't good enough and I
15:54
don't care about progress, I want playoff wins and
15:56
I want a Super Bowl trophy. And if you're
15:58
not going to do that within a. certain defined
16:00
window that I feel is arbitrarily correct, and you
16:02
can get the heck out of Dodge and get
16:05
out of here. The problem with that is
16:07
if you make these changes haphazardly
16:10
or emotionally, and I get it,
16:13
we as fans of the team
16:15
aren't owed objectiveness,
16:19
and fan is short for fanatic, so
16:21
I get it. But
16:25
if you're gonna build the most talented
16:28
roster that you can, drafting the most
16:30
talented player is the way to do
16:32
that. The challenge is
16:34
if you
16:36
draft the most talented player in your
16:38
perspective, that might not
16:41
have a pathway to playing in year
16:43
one like a Cam Smith
16:45
in their opinion. And anybody who is at training camp
16:47
would tell you that Cam Smith balled out. Chris Greer
16:49
was asked about Cam Smith. He said he balled
16:52
out in training camp last year. Then he got
16:54
banged up a little bit, and then he came
16:56
back, and you look at Vic Fangio and his
16:59
scheme, and there's a track record with young players
17:01
of that taking a little bit of time, but
17:03
we're very excited about Cam Smith. I
17:05
hear that. I kind of expect Cam Smith to just be
17:09
phased in as the other outside corner opposite Jalen
17:12
Ramsey. Like
17:14
I feel like they kind of have that attitude, and
17:16
they've internally had a chance to evaluate him on a
17:19
daily basis. They see it,
17:21
and we don't. But
17:23
people look at Cam Smith as a failed draft pick right
17:25
now. And
17:27
if the team was to come out and they were to draft a wide
17:30
receiver, right, at the first
17:33
round pick, people would say, this is
17:35
a bozo maneuver. They have two good wide receivers.
17:37
They don't need a third good wide receiver. But
17:40
there's gonna come a time in the next three years where
17:42
you're gonna probably phase out the Tyree Kill contract. And
17:45
when that time comes, having
17:48
somebody else who's good and
17:50
the talented player who
17:52
you drafted preemptively because he was the best
17:54
player on the board allows
17:57
you to then make that decision. make
18:00
continued good decisions to again field
18:02
as talented and competitive as a
18:04
roster as you possibly can but
18:07
if you say oh well he he drafted Cam
18:09
Smith and The team
18:11
hit their ceiling and this was their best shot and the
18:14
offensive line wasn't good enough and they've invested a bunch of
18:16
resources There he needs to go. Okay,
18:18
you bring somebody else in you know what they're gonna do
18:21
because this is what football people everywhere do They're
18:23
gonna flush out all the people that weren't there things and
18:25
say I want my guy here. I'll home. I got there I want
18:28
my my guy here That's
18:30
a whole three-year process of undoing more
18:33
subtly than the Dolphins did in 2019 but
18:35
nevertheless still undoing a lot of what's
18:37
been done and Then
18:40
you'll get to the end of third year there and they'll say well,
18:42
they didn't have the big breakthrough and like I Understand
18:45
like there's teams that have Breakthrough
18:48
moments Houston this year, but
18:50
Houston was like the worst team in the league
18:52
for three consecutive years to build up that Imagine
18:56
you put yourself and go back to 2019 and
18:59
ask yourself would I be willing to exchange? 2019
19:02
2020 and 2021 the universally be the worst team
19:04
in football Or
19:07
that stretch of time Is
19:10
the Cleveland Browns did with Hugh
19:12
Jackson? It's what the Texans did
19:14
with their parade of one-year coaches To
19:19
have the payoff that Cleveland has had now or
19:22
they've Won 11 plus
19:24
games twice in the last three years The
19:27
Texans go from the worst team in football to
19:29
a 10-win team now. We'll see if there's sustainability
19:31
there You'd like to think so
19:36
And what would the tone be if you spent three years doing
19:38
that I Don't
19:41
know I think you're darned if you do and you're darned
19:43
if you don't personally and I'm not
19:45
making excuses There's things that need to get better
19:48
with this dolphins team. There's there's been missteps misevaluations.
19:50
There's no question But
19:54
I love hearing that thought process from
19:56
Chris Greer and I hope the team
19:59
continues And people are not gonna agree with this
20:01
and you can disagree. That's fine. Yell at me at the comments I'm
20:03
probably not gonna read it because I already know I'm gonna put Chris
20:05
green the title of the show Everybody who hates
20:07
Chris crew is gonna come out in full force with their
20:09
pitchforks and they're gonna play about So
20:12
I'm not gonna read the comments You can
20:14
leave whatever comment you want. I don't care. I Hope
20:17
the team continues to give this
20:20
brain trust The opportunity
20:22
continue to as long as they
20:25
continue to grow as
20:27
long as they continue to be competitive I
20:29
hope they are allowed the
20:31
opportunity to continue to Operate
20:34
both short-term and long-term visions for
20:36
the team Eggie
20:42
Speaking of long-term vision for the team
20:44
Quarterback contract is looming for the Dolphins with two
20:46
a tongue below Chris Greer was asked about that

21:17
So Chris
21:21
Greer asked about two a tongue of a loa Is
21:24
there another level to two a
21:26
tongue of loa scheme and I've
21:29
addressed this Question storyline
21:31
a little bit and I would say from
21:33
a physical Attribute
21:37
perspective. I don't think there
21:39
is But that doesn't mean
21:41
that two a tongue of a loa the quarterback
21:44
Cannot tap into another level
21:46
of play based on his
21:48
understanding of the
21:51
offense timing of the offense
21:54
When to take check downs that he was like one of
21:56
the lowest percentage quarterbacks in the NFL this past year taking
21:59
check pecteens against two high shelves. Those
22:03
are the kinds of things that making
22:05
the right decision, you've
22:08
seen low tools, air quotes, physical
22:11
attribute quarterbacks executed at a very high level
22:13
because they operate within the pocket and they
22:15
make sound decisions. And they
22:17
take what the defense gives them. And I
22:19
think that's the biggest thing for Tuya, continuing
22:21
to find the balance of taking
22:24
what the defense gives you is
22:28
going to allow him, I think, to take
22:30
his game to another level. Now, that's my
22:32
opinion on the matter. Here's what
22:35
Chris Greer had to say about the matter with Tuya talking about
22:37
Loa and if there's another level that he could take his game
22:39
to. And we all feel there's still
22:41
another level that he can take it. And I think if you
22:43
asked Tuya, he would tell you that too. And
22:46
so just his growth
22:48
on and off the field like being voted captain
22:50
last year and then seeing how he
22:52
is behind the scenes with
22:55
guys and holding people accountable is
22:58
huge. So I think
23:00
the way he's attacked this and wants to
23:02
be great and
23:05
the combination of Mike and working with that and that
23:07
trust and belief in each other, we do think there's
23:09
still another level we can go. So
23:11
they clearly feel that way. And that's going
23:13
to be manifested with a contract extension that
23:16
is going to come out that people are
23:18
probably going to be a little uncomfortable with
23:21
from a dollars amount. That's
23:24
the nature of quarterback contracts. I'm not justifying
23:26
it. I certainly think my offers to Tuya
23:28
tongue of a Loa would not
23:31
be market reset dollars. I think
23:33
there are enough questions there that you want to proactively
23:35
get a deal done so that
23:37
if you reach your aspirations and you continue
23:39
to contend and win double digit
23:41
games, be in playoff appearances and start winning playoff
23:43
games, like if all that happens and that contract
23:46
is not done. OK,
23:48
then the dollars are going
23:50
to get really uncomfortable because the salary cap is going to
23:52
continue to shoot up to the moon. So
23:55
I think for my
23:58
perspective, I understand. why
24:00
getting a contract is done because it invokes
24:04
a lot of the things that
24:06
we're talking about about having a big picture
24:08
plan in addition to maximizing a short time
24:10
window and for
24:13
that To the
24:15
Dolphins to make the most of that. Yes to
24:17
a tongue of Aloha does have to take his
24:19
game To another level
24:22
and is that there they think it
24:24
is there? He thinks it is
24:26
there. I can see the pathway for
24:29
it being there even if it is not as
24:31
simple as and I To
24:35
had had all the durability stuff last year and his
24:37
response was to add weight To
24:39
had have more bulk more core strength
24:41
protect his head and
24:44
take the hits and rigors of an NFL season
24:47
better than he had previously and He
24:49
does that and I see these
24:51
bozos On
24:54
social media saying he
24:56
needs to lose the weight. He can't move
24:58
no duh guys And
25:01
I'll tell you what a lot of the
25:03
best defenses in the league Force
25:05
you to operate within the pocket and
25:08
execute an offense within the pocket Which
25:10
is to a tongue below a strength
25:13
and it should be his strength and I
25:15
would be highly disappointed If
25:17
to a tongue below came out next year and says
25:19
yeah, I dropped 15 pounds I'm trying to move around
25:22
more because the thing
25:24
that you did to stay on the field
25:26
worked and That's
25:29
more important Than
25:31
a handful of off-script plays that put you in a
25:33
position to take hits that quite frankly. It's not your
25:35
game Know your
25:37
game understand your game, and he showed
25:39
that last year which I applaud But
25:43
it's the perfect embodiment of there's just
25:46
no winning Where
25:48
he's too light And
25:50
he can move He's too fragile so
25:53
he gets hurt. Okay. I'm a bulk up Take
25:56
hits better. Well. No you can't move You
25:59
need to lose the weight It's
26:03
just moving – the goalposts have
26:05
to – we need to pour
26:08
the foundation and put the goalposts in the ground somewhere
26:10
and just leave them there. And
26:13
for me, my perspective on it, yeah,
26:18
he is going to be a quarterback that plays and operates
26:20
within the pocket. And
26:23
the other level of that is going to come
26:25
here, between the ears, for those
26:27
of you not on YouTube, for Tua. I
26:30
think that's where the next level has to come. We'll
26:34
see if it does. And
26:37
they seem to think it will because they're prepared
26:39
to put their money where their mouth is and
26:41
saying that it will. Because that contract is going
26:43
to be coming down the mountain here for
26:45
too long. That's going
26:47
to do it for us here on this episode of
26:49
