Hi Alain from the land of Den Herder / keep up the great insightful work / phin fan since 1970 in NW Iowa

[@wkazantzis]

Poup! As much as i disagree with your Tua takes, you're a badass and doing a great job! Same with Perk!

[@themosin1852]

Damn I'm never this early! Love the show poup. Love when Perkins is on he's a great guest

[@davidbrecount1345]

Great show guys. Keep it up.

[@michaellombardo7788]

Great show Alain and Chris thanks cu next time ❤

[@charlienardone8272]

Good stuff as always. Just a silly pet peeve of mine - I prefer when the host asks for a like towards the end of the video as opposed to the opening. Why should I "like" before I know if I liked it or not?? 🤪As always thanks for your hard work.

[@jasonwoods3636]

Love the Double P show!! You 2 guys should merge podcast and become one! Love Perk on the show!

[@marklever4213]

Good job today guys

[@JackMarkell-j4g]

Good work guys

[@bigmikebaby85]

We still here 🎉❤

[@michelledavis7827]

AP I think your take on Weaver is spot on

[@JustinPartlow-m6z]

"It wasn't tua it was the play calls" ya I agree the play calls really did great avoiding 6 300 pound monsters rushing tua and the play calls also threw some beautiful balls to waddle and the team

[@zenman1001]

Perk's got great energy.

[@giorgiophinsfanporch3250]

I got the First View and the First Like. Yeah Baby. Phins Up

[@oldmanjeb384]

I have a question I’d love hear asked of Mike McDaniel, as a Yale grad, what was his favorite New Haven Pizza place. I bet he’d give a fun answer.

[@ghstfce]

Perk's in the house! Best guest (co-host?) hands down!

[@grantgrant6746]

I think perks assessment was off on Vic. He didn’t want Ramsey to travel because his zone scheme was set up for them to cover spots. If you have someone change an assignment or spot in the course of a play it ruins the zones and will lead to a blown coverage somewhere. In a man heavy scheme you can just let him stick to someone.

[@johnperkins1041]

Tua definitely needs Tyreek , or a big name receiver to open up the field for him, and you talked him not needing hill in college the wide receivers he had in college were stacked Jaylen waddle and Davante Smith, Jerry jeudy, and Henry Ruggs all starting receivers in the NFL so I don’t wanna hear about not needing Tyreek in college

[@davidmacdonald2919]

Show me a QB that doesn’t need a star? Mahomes has the best TE ever playing with him. Name me another QB who does well with no talent? Such a stupid fucking narrative

[@torettomalachi2248]

In his first 2 season Tua was winning games with DeVante Parker, Albert Wilson, Preston Williams, & Mack Hollins as his receiving core , no offensive line & Myles Gaskin as his RB1, Stop It.

[@tomalan6519]

Can you sign one without the other? Definitely. Sign a QB with arm strength to get the ball to Tyreek so that he doesn't have to slow down and stop to catch the ball.

[@darrellsalu4405]

Unhappy quarterback will go somewhere.Perk!!!

[@aaroncarter7733]

We need Cam Smith to come to the party

[@petiaVui-d2o]

When u both done smoking crack then stop, tua doesnt need reek, coz hes got waddle here. Tua have been moving the chain with so many different wrs. Wtf u on about?

[@joec8942]

Perk what you smoking? Reek gonna crush whoever’s throwing it. Or under throwing it.

[@dolfantina4279]

Sounds like. The dolphins have a lot of "show me " players

[@chiefSuga20]

You should change the name of this podcast to “don’t pay anyone”

[@dalefin386]

You know....when Omar was here, at least someone stuck up for Tua.

[@moeazizi]

He shouldnt have.

[@marsalistemple4907]

To poup 1st youtube intro and introduce guest 2nd synopsis of the video you are doing and ask for share, likes and subscribers 3rd do the history lesson we love 😅😅😅😅

​@Guy117 True and thats why the Fins will continue to go nowhere.

[@nickkwek8719]

You R so wrong about Tua needing tyreak. He did not need him in collage.

[@TuatagaloaTeo]

100

[@alldolphinspodcast]

You mean when he had FOUR FIRST-ROUND PICKS at wide receiver?

[@rsolorio692]

I believe tua rookie yr first time he olayed the chiefs he almost won that clgame with gesiki was the only good player everyone else was hurt including parker

[@hovertrout1]

Clueless miami unloaded Welker for Samson Setele basically lol

[@brucewilson9958]

Here here poop

[@c.edwardslauderdale1074]

Yay 1st comment #FinsUp

[@miami5045]

Hawk TUA

[@Guy117]

Poup can’t give any credit to Tua. Down plays Tua not needing Tyreek in the Jets game where Waddle had 8 receptions for 142 yards by saying small sample size, McDaniel had a great game plan, AND he recalls a lot of short passes with a lot of YAC. What has Tua done to you that you can’t be objective? You are always looking for something negative about him. We get it, you wish the Dolphins picked Herbert instead of Tua but come on man, stop being so negative/critical of the guy.

[@johnyang3930]

Tua plays terrible against good teams that’s when you get credit

[@jasonmcdonald2251]

Over 50 years since Miami’s last Super Bowl win. Tua is not talented enough alone to win if he gets a big deal. His only chance to be successful is if he is on a stacked team.

[@Guy117]

@@jasonmcdonald2251 This is a team game, no one player can do it alone. Plus, a stacked team includes a good o-line that can pass protect. Tua has been without a good o-line his entire time in Miami except for the first few games last season when everyone was healthy. He has been the best QB since Marino yet everyone keeps cr@pping on him.

[@Guy117]

Name a better quarterback the Dolphins had since Marino

[@edwardripley7266]

thank you, you took every thing you said well done OUT OF MY MOUTH you are so right God bless you thank you.

[@michelledavis7827]

Lets stop dancing around it, X has been a liability for the past two seasons he was a walking soft tissue injury. He gave us some great years but I think the Dolphins did right by him it was time.

[@synaptik111]

Trust Grier with CB picks Perk? Really? Does Noah Igbenogne ring a bell? He was bust-tastic

[@DevinKraemer]

PAY TUA

[@josephbell7648]

Unfortunately, X wasn’t a stud when Ramsey came to Miami. Even further than that, what did Ramsey do other than have that one INT in his first game back?? Against Matt Jones! Let’s not act like Ramsey was a stud either

[@ericrash8506]

Ramsey had 2 pics against Raiders and literally won the game!? He had a few really good games actually!!🐬🏈

[@josephbell7648]

@@ericrash8506 oh. Against the fourth round rookie QB??

[@robertjason6885]

Flo or not, does Perk forget mistakes like Iggy? Too many acorns, not enough oaks. FA is Grier’s crutch. The Chiefs, Eagles, Texans built through the draft. I cannot give a pass for the number of DB picks not yielding real difference makers. Same with the OLine. Byron Jones? Way overpriced vs his production. And injured a lot. , and his deal created real issues with X.

[@iosefauu8573]

I'm hoping the dolphins trade Tua to a good team.... Dolphin fans don't deserve a decent qb, that's why they haven't win anything after Marino.

[@OGSandyPoole]

First

[@hovertrout1]

Tua remains an ongoing uncertainty and team distraction unlike the correct draft choices of Burrow & Herbert: no Brady, Jackson or Watson issues with real QBs.

[@Joze_W]

Uncertainty? Currently. But a distraction?? Definitely not. It's the media bro not Tua himself, come on now. 🐬⬆️

[@TuatagaloaTeo]

This guy still crying

[@hovertrout1]

@@Joze_W Non stop indecisiveness with Tua since day 1, constant soap opera firing coaches trainers seeking replacement QBs changing the team for 1 guy and still no contract because he remains thee incorrect draft selection. Divided fan base, unique injuries, coddling huddle decisions on destination of 90% of his throws.

[@Joze_W]

@@hovertrout1 sooo all your personal feelings towards him. Gotcha. Again not Tuas fault. Fan base is divided? About Tua. Not the team. One man is really making y'all question things huh? Just seems feelings are getting more involved than actual common sense and looking at it for what it really is..but sure blame Tua 🥴

[@davecolman9446]

Ko-Who, sorry spelling, a BULL STUD when it comes to tackling.

[@darrellsalu4405]

One game is still proof he can win against a top 5 defense without tyreek poopoo!!!

[@Desman228]

I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE WITH THIS NONESENCE TALK ABOUT TUA WOULDN'T BE TUA WITHPUT TYREEK I WATCH JOE MONTANA WITH JERRY RICE FOR YEARS. THEY BOTH NEED EACH OTHER, SO PLEASE MY YUTES BACK OF TUA AND PAY THIS YOUNG MAN!!!

[@buffandsweet33]

Tyreek is our best player tiny tua stinks up the joint and without Tyreek he's a bum
