Episode 282: Rookie Review with Draft Analyst Tony Pauline

[@dpg0jod]

Keep up the hard work, Poupart. Sticking with you. You are a walking Dolphins encyclopedia.

[@SSgt_Steve_USMC3-6]

Appreciate your Dolphins history and terrific podcasts sir. Thank you very much Alain 🫡💪🏽🐬

This could be a great show

Great show!

[@jackvogler576]

We need an upgrade on the interior of both offensive and defensive lines.We get exposed there against the better teams

[@synstro6198]

I’m not that worried about Patrick Paul since our oline coaches showed last year that they actually get players to improve(hasn’t happened here often recently). If Paul becomes a ft LT it’ll be a huge check for our coaching staff.

[@WilliamCook-g4w]

The One we NO longer Mention. That's funny lol.

[@kevinbair6310]

Hope he and Omar are still friends

[@lorenpotaczek125]

Good episode maybe i missed it but sould have aske what drafted player he expects to have biggest impact on dolphins this year and to grade the overall dolphins draft he seemed to think Miami drafted some good players overall

[@bryanmchenry3427]

Alain, love the content, as always. You said a few episodes back that you read all our comments, so hopefully you will respond. I'm wondering why you told Pauline "we don't bring that name up anymore here" in regards to Omar? He and you built this and you should still give him the love, like you two were a "couple"!!! Thanks, awaiting your response.

[@alldolphinspodcast]

That was a joke.

[@HeavensRayne]

Love the show

[@ChristopherClark-x8v]

This team can be really good if they add to the O-Line, Safety, and Def Tackle! Were set at WR, RB, TE on offense Defense is a little bit of a question with all the new players coming in and coaching/scheme will be huge

Keep going poup I’m rocking with you

With the Patrick Paul pick feel like I’ve seen this movie. Remember same talk about Larnel Coleman 2021 pick “ great size, reach, measurables, can’t teach this stuff blah blah blah”

[@icen5336]

Can yall actually not mention Omar or was he kinda joking??

[@alldolphinspodcast]

Joking

[@airforce1551]

​@@alldolphinspodcastI wasn't sure if you were joking either because on if you were cases you have mentioned the other guy or the guy that used to be on here instead of mentioning his name.

[@robauguste4945]

“We don’t mention that name anymore” damn what happened between Poup and Omar?

[@Ballaholic17]

Bills will have around $50 million in cap space and a bunch of picks next year. I'm not sure their window is closing, maybe on hiatus for a year, but if Allen plays like he has been for at least 4-5 more seasons, they're gonna be able to pay free agents, while also getting younger thru the draft. This is the year to take them down. If it don't happen for us this year again while we've had the better team, then I don't know when it'll happen.

[@frozenharold]

Dolphins will have $78 million in cap space next year and plenty of picks. But not not a lot of players under contract. The Bill's are projected to have about $30 in cap space, but just 30 players under contract.

[@Ballaholic17]

@@frozenharold I wouldn't look too much at next years cap online. We still haven't paid Tua, Waddle, Holland or Phillips. I'm not sure we pay all 4, but we have alot of guys on 1 year deals and void years that get accelerated if we move off of guys like Armstead, Mostert, Barrett Ramsey and Hill. My friend Dan is a Bills beat writer and he said they'll have around 50 million, maybe more next year after they ate Diggs money this year and they can finally move off of Von Miller after 2024. I'm not saying they won't resign some of their guys and they don't have other needs, but Allen's deal already kicked in for them and they don't have alot of dead money moving forward on their books. He said they'll be big players next year in free agency, and they're looking to do 1 more build for the last 4-5 years of Josh Allen's prime. My bottom line is, we need to win the division now. Last year and this year, we've had the better roster. I'm not sure how much longer we'll be able to say that with our money situation and there's. If we can't do it now, who knows what Ross decides to do moving forward. Phins up.

[@frozenharold]

@@Ballaholic17 According to overthecap, as currently constructed, the Bill's cap situation for 2025 looks like this: "Total Cap Liabilities: $245,988,159Top 51: $243,353,240Team Cap Space: $14,011,841" it has them at $66 mil under for 2026. The Dolphins announced earlier thus week that they have picked up the 5th year options on both Phillips and Waddle, so theynare both under contract through 2025. Post 6/1 releases of Hill, Armstead and Chubb, Ramsey and Mostert, create $80 mil in space.

[@douglasanderson5516]

It's funny how some Dolphins fans complain about how terrible the offensive line is then go on to rave about the job the offensive line coaches have done in the same breath.

[@alldolphinspodcast]

Been thinking that myself, partner.

[@Ballaholic17]

The oline wasn't an issue until the pass block win rate stat came out and fans needed someone other than Tua to blame the late season swoon on.

[@lorenpotaczek125]

​@@Ballaholic17I never thought the o line was very good when the ball wasn't out in under two seconds the pocket collapsed or in the two minute offense and couldn't run on 3rd and short or to close a game especially against quality defensive lines it simply wasn't good enough and ppl want Tua to get to his 3rd or 4th read how do you do that of the line doesn't give time to do so ? I mean you're not going to go through three or four progressions in under 2 seconds

[@markjefferson2434]

Penix was top 3 pick.

[@B-ROB803]

Phinz UP

[@rifleman-kj9rt]

Not that I want this but look for potential trade of Waddle If these young guys are good it's not a bad idea because of the Dolphins contract and cap issues And we heard rumblings already Maybe Mostert too because he has value The Dolphins failed with trading X when they could they need to strike this time If the young guys are great Chubb ,Mostert and Waddle are trade bait

[@d8l835]

Not happening. Certainly not this year

[@tomreinhardt9594]

They also took Jake wrong with their number one pick

[@josephbell7648]

For people to say “he was constantly double teamed”. Which means that he won’t get sacks in the NFL if double-teams are what neutralize him

[@NJPhins3153]

[@AbadaWeeeeeeee]

Omar thought he was the product so he left the Sun Sentinel. He needed to be humbled imo and I think he kinda understands he needs the Dolphins

[@dulciofamily8154]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@noahcrawley]

If Chop Robinson= Barkevious Mingo Chris Grier is fired. Both hyper athletic, not that large, came from top programs, and did not have great sack numbers in college. Mingo was a major bust. Just 12.5 sacks in 8 years in the NFL. I know #21 is not #6(were Mingo went in 2013) but would have still traded down from #21 for say, #29 & #73 with the Lions. Getting Chop there and #73 would have made it a great draft. I bring that up because that's what Dallas did, and picked Cooper Beebe, OG from Kansas State at #73, who was in the discussion at #55. Other players that were still on the board at #73 that I had seen talk of Miami picking at #55 were.... Christian Haynes OG from UConn, Ja'Tavion Sanders TE from Texas. Kamren Kinchens Safety from the U, who "someone" who will remain nameless, Loved. Payton Wilson LB from NC State, a player who I liked. At just under 6-4 and 235 pounds the guy ran 4.43 in the 40 at the combine. Maybe, Chop is not there at #29, Tampa takes him at #26, but I am not heart broken. I did not have that much of a problem with Patrick Paul, but he needs to be better than Liam Eichenberg. All teams need to hit on their 2nd round picks, even in the mid 50's There will be solid starters taken after him, so if he is not one, it will be a bust. He did have the highest "pass block win rate" of any FBS player in 2023, though he did not play in the SEC, and the arm length that you love. As far as trading a future 3rd round pick i.e., 2021 to move up for Liam Eichenberg, its Chris Grier selling the teams future for his present. I get it, it's his job is on the line, but it's the same old story with him. Add void years and tank the cap down the road because he might not be there any way. It seems sometimes like it his "go to move" and it cost the team several big-time players as free agents this year. Now he does it for a Running Back, which is good prospect, but we did not need. We let Myles Gaskin, who was a serviceable NFL player, go for nothing last year. The team can get RBs off the scrap heap for nothing i.e. Duke Johnson, Phillip Linsey, and the Browns last year with K. Hunt. I would not have as much of a problem with it if we did not trade up to get him. This idea that trading next year’s 3rd rounder because we MIGHT get two late 3rd's(really early 4ths) is only so good of an idea. As AP had mentioned, how did that work out with Jajuan James when he signed with Denver several years ago?? As far as rounds 5-7 All sins are forgivable at that point in the draft, but you need to get me some help on special teams though, we were one of the worst units in the NFL last year.

[@Wenkebach]

The pain in Poupsnface when Penix is declared the biggest reach/worst pick

[@alldolphinspodcast]

The look actually was me acknowledging it was a weird pick.

[@steverose3157]

Love your podcast. Respectfully disagree with Pauline as to the Bills window. Such is open as long as their elite QB is in his prime. Even in a so called down year he lead the league in tds with 44 and was top five in passing yards, passing tds, rushing yards and rushing tds- all with Diggs not having a single productive game since week 10. Allen was further good in both playoff games. As to trading with the Chiefs, you don't play scared. Chiefs were not afraid to trade the Bills something of value, the bills cannot be scared to trade something the Chiefs value. Chiefs may have gotten Worthy anyway. With a 4.3 and 4.4 receiver in Samuel and Shakir respectively, Bills were just lacking a boundary receiver with a big body. A small fast guy was redundant and they clearly did not want Worthy or they would've picked him. When you are a FG loss difference from the defending champion you take the best deal for you and work on making yourself the best. Thanks to the trade the Bills got an extra day two pick which they wanted. As for the Chiefs, lets not pretend that they've been lighting it up with their receiver picks- Rice was good, but then you have Moore, Cornell Powell, Mecole Hardman, Tremon Smith, they traded for Toney and MVS- Worthy is no lock just because he's fast and KC picked him. KC is the favorite and the East is a tough division. No guarantees for the Bills but they are contending as long as Allen is in his prime. People fixate on turnovers without thinking of production, of which Allen has led with the most tds consistently. If fixated on turnovers, in the playoffs he has 27 total tds and 4 ints. He should improve in certain areas sure and is reckless, but the fans dismissing him as a turnover machine when he has led the Bills to 4 straight division titles is insane imo. Best of luck, love your informative content Alain. Thank You

[@Wenkebach]

People say same thing about Jackson as Paul… act like you are authorities, but just comment

[@pacificfinsfan1]

I really do not understand some of the takes Poupart has or where he gets them. Patrick Paul has a base nastyness that you can't teach. Sure his hands and feet needs work but he shows the ability and self awareness to know what he needs to work on and goes and works on it. OT's do not need to play Guard a season to be good at OT that has never made sense to me as I have played both and both are completely different. You can teach technique you can't teach toughness or nastiness you either have it or you don't. With signing Lamb and Jackson you have your 3 OT's and Smith is still developing so there is 4 OT's add in Paul and you have 5 OT's and last season we used every offensive line player and still needed more.

[@alldolphinspodcast]

Please indicate to me where I said that Paul NEEDED to play guard beyond saying the ideal pick would have been a tackle of the future who COULD play guard to help this season because the team is in win-now mode. Not the same thing.

[@kinggs2193]

Poup, please stop with the who's Omar stuff. It's corny! Omar and you built this; cherish the memories! In time, the Omar references will diminish organically. Hopefully, everybody will win in the end. Good show, as usual!

Poup got to stop being scared of doing the pod by himself lol

[@KautiousNupe]

Talking through these kind of things and bouncing your thoughts off someone else and vice versa makes for more week rounded, dynamic content. And besides, it's only been a few days and Poup is still tryna figure things out. Take it easy dude, it ain't got nothing to do with anybody needing 'scared'.

[@jerrylawler2735]

What we really need is Josh Allen to get injured. Sorry buddy remember when Brady got injured that one year, the only year we won the division

Poop, You just seem disgruntled now. Good luck sir.

[@KautiousNupe]

Clearly Poup was joking. Don't think too much into it, lol.

[@OurAncestors94]

It's a difference between being elite down the stretch and being elite all season.....Josh Allen was extremely up and down last year and arguably the last two years so idk why ppl believe the bills who has lost at least 4 starters on defense , Steffan Diggs, Gabe Davis etc etc are gonna be great just because of Josh allen....HE IS NOT PATRICK MOAHOMES , BRADY,MANNING ......HE'S DEFINITELY A TOP QB BUT PLEASE HE IS NOT A GUY I BELIEVE YOUR TEAM CAN BE GREAT NO MAYTER THE TALENT THAT ISN'T SURROUNDING HIM

[@ericrivera8064]

Poupart misses Omar already

[@RaymondStrong-n7i]

Josh allen is a turnover machine and no matter how big his arm is or how many yards he scrambles for he can't win the big game and never has. 59 fumbles, 78 ints says it all. He isn't beating Patrick in k.c anytime soon hate to burst that poop man crush.

[@alldolphinspodcast]

You’re mistaking respect for “man crush.” And he’s the biggest reason the Bills have won four straight division titles.

Hard to tell that he's a dolphin fan. With the talent being gone I don't see this podcast lasting too much longer. Glad Omar left.

[@alldolphinspodcast]

You’re either a newbie or just don’t pay attention or don’t listen very well. I’m a Dolphins reporter (been doing it for more than 30 years) who will call it as I see it and not start a cheer. There are plenty of Dolphins fan podcasts out there who will present everything through orange-and-aqua glasses and many are very good at what they do. This podcast is about objective analysis, good and bad, about the Dolphins. Hope that clears it up.

[@lorenpotaczek125]

Yeah so I get what your saying and have said some stuff also about the podcast myself and him and Omar worked well together but he still gets to watch practice and gets more locker room information I for one hope he keeps going and have enjoyed the last few episodes and his live the other day and everyone has different opinions on stuff and see things differently

[@SteveYZ1]

you would be wrong PK, this podcast will last. I have known Alain almost 40 years, since we were co-editors of our college paper, which won national awards. Alain was a great Sports editor then as he is now. Don't mistake that Omar, who is also a great journalist and media pro, and Alain are colleagues and friends. The fact that they do not always agree on every point is what made their podcast time together significant - you got real perspectives vs. rah-rah nonsense that most others serve up. Alain will be fine and these guys will support each other as media colleagues as they always have...advise everyone to stay supportive.

[@KautiousNupe]

How is it hard to tell he's a Dolphins fan?!?! Would a non-dolphins fan retain and be able to regurgitate at will ALL OF THE ENCYCLOPEDIC info that he knows about the team and its players over the last 30 years? If you don't like Poupart, why are you still here watching?!? And if you love Omar sooooo much, have you already signed up and PAID to see him via his new gig?!?! If not, you're a disingenuous shill. 🤷🏽
