Omar laughing at the number 69 proves my point. Us men don’t grow up, we grow old 😂😂😂

[@idarkboost]

And good! Growing up is how people get salty, boring, and don’t enjoy life!

[@michaellombardo7788]

Thanks guys c u tomorrow great show ❤

[@bourbontrail565]

Billy B. Had an interview yesterday and he talked about his opinion of special teams changes this year with the rule changes. It’s a interesting observation.

[@tonymontana3093]

A couple of times it looked like Omar was close to napping during the broadcast

[@douglasanderson5516]

Not his first time. He used to do that on X and Omar😅

[@Ballaholic17]

Never heard of a GM getting "locked up" before. I'm pretty sure Ross would eat the money vwithout ramifications if he had to, but it also wouldn't shock me if he has a lifetime contract either. Poupart, much respect, I like the fact you answer a question and give your reasoning on why, even if it's a simple as why trades aren't usually allowed in mock drafts. 😎

[@davidbrecount1345]

Great podcast as always guys

[@FritzFrank]

Thanks foir the content

[@InFinZible]

Poup, I’m surprised you haven’t noticed Omar saying “Kyle VanNot” 😆 I heard it a few times on the show.

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Hey, hopefully you guys will see this. Something that will help you guys with pushing your content would be to take your live episodes and break them down into segments. Take the best segments from them up and post them as quick short clips, maybe one or two per episode, and have them post automatically at a preset time, while you’re working on other things. It will drive your content up in the algorithm and help you get more return from the same amount of content. Just learn to use the all CAPS usage and selective wording to take full advantage of the algorithm.

[@douglasanderson5516]

I guess that's why Big O chop up his daily shows and post them later in the night or the next morning, but he doesn't do it in SHORTS.

[@TrellvisThomas]

Afternoon fellas. I reached out to Clancy about the draftbook, no reply. Anyone get it? Maybe I have the info incorrect?

[@alldolphinspodcast]

Here's a friendly reminder that you can find our written content at si.com/nfl/dolphins.

[@kellypatterson6425]

The redirect messed me up for a minute but once you’re straight it’s easy. Our folks will figure it out.

[@B-ROB803]

Miami needs 3 instant starters in this draft

[@elcolonel2900]

Omar poupart invite big O to your show !!!!!

[@user-ob6km2iu6q]

Good Evening Phinz Up

[@KB_theauthentic]

Xavier Go-gett!

[@dpg0jod]

Spades?! Pinochle, double deck, throw out the nines. Man’s game.

[@gavinhatchh]

if it’s BPA you don’t think there will be a top wide out, or copper dejean available there holland wants to reset the market for safety if we don’t want to do that copper dejean comes in and is the new stud saftey and can play corner if needed

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Idk about corner but I think he might make a good safety. He is of the wrong skin complexion to be a standout stud corner. He would have to become the best fair skinned guy with such talent and ability that we have seen in over 20 years, just to become a semi competent starting caliber corner. Which is a hard sell for him to get viewed as being that kind of guy. We just don’t see white starting corners in the league, and it’s not for no reason. It’s almost become a myth that is comparable to big foot at this point. The only evidence is some grainy old footage where you can only see a glimpse from a great distance and it’s more likely to be altered footage than it is to be real. That’s where we are with white corners. He might have potential at safety though. Little less athleticism is required for that position. 😂

[@B-ROB803]

Phinz UP

[@derekb8067]

Omar then why you bring up the mock draft haha

[@WesleyParyag]

Poup says if they were playing on one leg then they shouldn’t have played and someone else should’ve while also agreeing with Omar that we need a 3rd receiver and is ok with it in the first round

[@mc9399]

We need to trade back and get a 2nd round pick.

[@SaintMichael-js5kh]

The problem with trading out of the 1st round is you lose the 5th year option on players. Anyone drafted in the 2nd round and beyond doesn’t have that option. We saw how important that is with R. Hunt and we’re about to see it again with J. Holland’s contract situation.

[@InFinZible]

You pick a Noah igbinoghene

[@GuccVarucc]

29-10 loss at home to buffalo in playoffs, 17-3 loss on road to New England in playoffs, 38-3 loss to Denver in playoffs and 62-7 loss to the Jags. Off the top of my head , that’s some of Marinos playoff work

[@douglasanderson5516]

That 62-7 was the worst game I watched in my 54 years being a Dolphin fan. Then we signed their QB and he did absolutely nothing.

[@GuccVarucc]

@@douglasanderson5516 fiedler is what people think tua is. A guy carried by his defense and play makers(chambers n etc). We would've won chips with that defense and tua or even tannehill lol . Fiedler was bad bad

[@richardkeys5214]

Danny Crossman always gets a pass !

[@darthtaylor513]

I work with people like that. I’m like why the ef is this person still here? Happens in all orgs.

[@MickRac10]

Looking at rankings and mocks of players, i.think.we would be way better with 4 picks between 33-80 than 2 picks between 21-55. There's a lot of meat in the 2nd and 3rd. We need roster players. 1 guy at 21 isnt going to fill the holes. Is there a player at 21 anyone is looking at that where we can say he's an all pro? It's a coin flip. I liked Braden Fiske bug then I saw he had 31 inch arms. That dropped him.

[@dylanb_2011]

JACKSON POWERS-JOHNSON. Dolphins need to build a Great Wall for Tua and company.

[@darthtaylor513]

Canadians know how to play cards AND hockey? I’d like to imagine them doing it at the same time just for my own head canon.

[@isaiahboffill5692]

Omar has to get a expos hat 🧢

[@zigglawiggla67]

I think we leave this draft with two absolutely electric playmakers…. That’s who we are!!! Tua needs them to win it fuels him

[@jorgefernandez5231]

Don’t agree Omar that the defense is totally off

[@jakefrompallettown8181]

69 nice!

[@phin4life503]

🐬🆙🫡

[@davidmacdonald2919]

Justin M is not a massive guy. Chubb and Phillips aren’t edge setters?? Chubb is an excellent run stuffer. Seiler will be able to do what Justin M did Seiler has had just as good a career if not better to this point. Long isn’t a heat seaking missile? The safety spot is where we are weakest. Our corners are better.

[@kellypatterson6425]

So this season, we can amuse ourselves by coming up with cute nicknames for our likely to be mediocre defense. The Rice Curtain? The Teal Turf Eaters? Does Terrell Buckley own the rights to “Toast?” What about the “Seven Eleven?” Waffle Casa? Discuss.

[@bourbontrail565]

Frozen Fish if we play the @ GB, Cleveland, Seattle and division foes in December and January.

[@mattst.4699]

Pump the brakes, folks! Look at our roster again w/o your doomsday feelings (of our lost players) involved. We have filled the holes w/ quality players that may not have big names, admittedly, but they are quality. A couple drafts picks & a couple post-draft free agents, mainly for depth and we are looking good. Mediocre should not be in our vocabulary, Top-10 or Top-15 Defense should be instead. Keep your heads up and Phins Up! 🐬🐬🐬⬆️⬆️⬆️

[@bourbontrail565]

@mattst.4699 and I’m thinking about games played under 40 degrees. Future Cap Crushing Qb Contract. Thanks for some sunshine….

[@douglasanderson5516]

The defense is going to pleasantly surprise yall.The problem is going to be Tua and Mcdaniel.😮😮

[@douglasanderson5516]

​@@mattst.4699Agree 100%. Consistency and step up from Tua and Mcdaniel and a third wr and we might surprise a lot of people.
