Episode 397: Can the Short Handed Defense Slow Down Josh Allen?

[@fuzzzbusta]

Seiler, Holland, Kohu, Phillips, Chub, all out. Josh Allen is going to carve up our secondary.

[@Quay33]

He did wen they were there what’s your point

[@jesusmorales1058]

Grateful for your show. Hope the fins put up a go fight throughout the rest of the season.

[@BillyBatsonMarvel]

WHY!?

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Drafting Jaylen Waddle over Sewell wasn’t the misfire of that draft. Drafting Liam Eichenburg(been eh at his best) over Creed Humphrey(the best center in football, not named Jason Kelce), was the catastrophic mistake of that draft. Waddle has been a foundational building block of the team, Liam Eichenburg has played all 5 positions across the O line, and his best performance at any of those positions has just been to be okay enough to not be the worst possible option. Creed Humphrey has been the foundational core of KC entire offensive line, which has been one of the top 2 performing Offensive Lines in all of football since he was drafted, specifically along the interior of the line. Their tackles get penalties, but it’s always just false start penalties, which are 5 yards. Which are much easier to overcome than getting a bunch of 10 yard holding penalties, due to guys getting themselves out of position and having bad hand placement and pad level, like the dolphins o line gets. And it’s much easier to have a successful team when the interior of the o line holds up, and creates a pocket well enough that even if the tackles get beaten to their outside, they can just ride the defender all the way back and out of the play, and the QB still has plenty of space to step up into. Which is why KC o line is able to be successful and why Miamis continues to struggle. The national media loves talking about tackles being the most important, but if you ask a QB, they all will tell you that they would much rather have a strong interior, and just use running backs and tight ends to help out their tackles before getting out into their routes. Because having a bad interior means there is no solution that is going to allow the offense to function how it needs to, in order to move the ball consistently.

[@philmontgomery95]

Oh nice. Adam Huntington. Good to see you on the cast good sir.

[@jay1364]

Thanks great show 😀👍

[@noahcrawley]

It's about time we got Adam B. back💯

[@Bluewater72]

People have been saying we are talented, are we? poor O line, old Tyreek, old Ramsey, no D line, all injured. we are just not talented

[@BillyBatsonMarvel]

Talent that doesn’t care or have any football pride.

[@Jerry-t6d]

I agree and they try to say that Mike McDaniels is a genius. I don’t see any of that. I don’t see a talented football team or a decent head coach.

[@michaellombardo7788]

Hi Alain great guss thanks for the great show enjoy your weekend ❤

[@josephbell7648]

Adam Beasley was on point about this team needing to make major changes for next year. They should be evaluating GM and HC prospects right now.

[@zenman1001]

Poupart is 100% correct about Penei Sewell. I was shocked when he fell to us and then stunned when we passed. I'm done watching drafts until Grier is gone.

[@danabuice7319]

Great show! There is someone else who has been here since the losing began Grier Adam Beasley. Stephan Ross. But you would probably point out he’s not going to fire himself

[@Bluewater72]

with all the huge contracts for old and average players, we are looking at a 3 year rebuild after firing Grier

[@lalocisneros4687]

Historic draft capital and a owner that will spend money and they have made a disaster out of it

[@robertjason6885]

Good show… painful, but real.

[@dinkblack2637]

Quoting Bill Parcells “you are what you’re record says you are”

[@joec8942]

Ima keep my record prediction at 5-12 so long as Tua stays healthy and they keep trying their best.

[@troyortiz2414]

Adam is having a delusional hope filled dream. Dolphins have zero chance of winning on Sunday against the Bills. We all know what’s going to happen. We’ve seen it for years. 34-6 Bills. And of course Tua will play like ass like he always does against elite teams.

[@Jamsville]

I disagree with you, it’s going to be 34-16 😂 They’ll get 1 touchdown in the beginning and they’ll get shut down the rest of the game, as per usual

[@dave34573]

What about the 32-29 loss in late December in 2022? Tua played well that game. Why didn't we lose 34-6 that game? Apparently you have seen it for Years? Even the playoff game 3 weeks later we lost 34-31...Yes ZERO chance...Even though we have played very well 2 of the last 3 games in Buffalo

[@troyortiz2414]

@@dave34573 - okay dude. Just sit back and watch the beat down coming on Sunday and remember this conversation. You must be another delusional Tua lover.

[@themosin1852]

​@dave34573 did they win either of those games? Nobody's getting trophies for almost not losing

[@InFinZible]

Facts

[@Nestor-jr2zi]

Did Bonner get in someone’s doghouse? There was all this talk about how other teams wanted him. With Kohou out, I would have thought Bonner would come in instead of Storm Duck. Is Storm Duck just better?

[@andrewwilliams5487]

No ima say these coaches ain’t that smart as they think .. Miami let brooks go the RB he was the biggest back but you keep Wilson jr smh

[@nikshmenga]

good one

[@Bluewater72]

Reason we always lose to Bills, there defense line is the team strength vs. Miami O line is the weakest.

[@truthseekerchris8766]

Great ppint

[@andrewwilliams5487]

Facts that’s cause we need to run the ball with all 3 of our back’s atleast 40 times or more to win

[@305RealtorMario]

Poup, you need to have Beas on a regular basis.

[@lamonzoscott2593]

I like Adam, don't seem like his takes is agenda base.. straight facts

[@fish-pilot]

Every analyst/writer trying to make a case for this team winning this weekend has basically said, "Well crazier things have happened!" Doesn't sound very promising, eh?

[@NJPhins3153]

The bills will stick a fork in the Dolphins on Sunday big changes coming in Miami

[@tonyb8016]

You have not done anything significant with the offensive big money earners. Trade them for picks as long as current draft personnel are not picking players next year

[@robertjason6885]

Yep, when the Fins lose Sunday, the mercy trades Adam mentioned makes sense. The Chiefs have the worst LT in the AFC… Armstead gets a possible ring. Lions could use Campbell. The 2 best drafting teams, with apologies to the Texans.

[@BillyBatsonMarvel]

Keeping all that draft capital would have given us a 2-5 record for less money along with a healthier salary cap to boot. Defeating the Bills would be s fluke of a victory. Tua and the 🐬are petrified of the Bills uniform, you can put our practice squad players in that uniform and they would defeat this team 31-13.

[@Spasq]

While I agree we are due to be this team, I can’t see how it will be this week. Our D has so many injuries. We’d have to win in a shoot-out.

[@KYONGSUKSEYMOUR]

I will be waking up at 3am here in South Korea to monitor the game. After each lost I tell myself that I will not monitor another game, and end up lying. I, like many fins fans, are disappointed in the season up to this point. I want them to win, but logic tells me that they will not. Bottom line, I will be up at 3 am. hoping for a win. Older fan at 68, spoiled fins fan by the great late Don Shula. I don't have many, maybe next season left.

[@Mark-lp7gt]

Perfect example of trying to manifest a win here versus reality

[@christopherphillips2708]

Tank with Tua! We have overpaid, elderly players, comfortable with retiring in Florida whie they are still in the NFL

[@robertjason6885]

As I’ve posted here and elsewhere dozens of times in the past… Not one ROY in 24 years. Coincidence? I think not.

[@richardkeys5214]

No team can be as bad as the Dolphins so it must be planned. Tanking.

[@synaptik111]

How can this team be 2-5??? CHRIS GRIER and his horrible drafts and ill-timed contract deals! That and Mike McD's poor play calling at inopportune times

[@zenman1001]

Definition of insanity = Miami front office

[@bigmikebaby85]

We need a miracle 😢

[@Bluewater72]

Trade Tyreek, Waddle, Ramsey, anyone.

[@cincinnatiphinsfan7432]

Salary cap hits would be massive...

[@brianmartinez1602]

Been rooting for losses since the Seattle game. I’ve never seen anyone worse at their job than Grier and not held accountable. He was given everything anyone could ask for. Losing gets him and the woke nerd out and a high draft pick. Losing is beyond the obvious solution if you care about long term. Go Bills!

[@UncleBillsBills]

No!!!

[@indade]

where people describe these talented teams, they reference their peripheral players. the problem is those "talented teams" with success have that talent in the trenches. Dolphins are "talented" in referencing their peripheral positions but their trenches aren't strong enough. OLine looks "good enough" gets lesser DLines. good DLines show you where the OLine actually is. the Dolphins DLine usually looks good but with all the injuries and loss of talent, it's watered down. so the defense blitzes, exposes the backend and good offense tee off on that.

[@dave34573]

You can't be talented and Injured at the same time...Does not work that way...The DL...Chubb and Phillips and very very talented...Well they are injured...They have 2 1st round picks and a lot of money invested on them and they are not on the field...Seiler going to miss his 2nd game..Solid DT as they come.. so 3 of our 4 starting and best DL is out..Yes when healthy very talented as shown last season when they were on the field all together...

[@indade]

@@dave34573 they're talented on their peripheral positions as well. Hill, Waddle, Ramsey, Holland, etc... my point is teams can suffer injuries to those units if their trenches are very talented and healthy. the problem with the Dolphins is that since so many assets have been put into the peripheral positions and their trenches are not as talented as needed against playoff caliber teams. plus they're injured. i'll say it this way, my view of the Dolphins is, even if both sides of the trenches were healthy, it wouldn't be enough to beat playoff caliber rosters. especially the OLine. Bills can lose people in their secondary and LBs and still be effective defensively because their DLine is intact. you build from the trenches out, Grier builds outside in.

[@richardkeys5214]

McDaniel put the whole team on rest they worked themselves into exhaustion.

[@douglasvilleofrcv.msmith1133]

Them 2 ducks Florio and Sims went off today sad thing is they didn't tell any lies. ..😢

[@Supremor-tj9dv]

2-6

[@dave34573]

In defense of Skylar Thompson being the backup and Mike McDaniel and Grier screwing up..Skylar only played 3 quarters of the 1st game he started this year and got injured. Sure he played bad up to that point in the game.. but it is too small of a sample size to say he should not have been the back up to TUA......You remember Teddy Bridgwater in 2022...Legit backup QB and former NFL Starter...What happened to him? Oh He got hurt while playing for the Dolphins..What did he do with the Dolphins while TUA was out? Even in the playoffs vs Buffalo..Where was Teddy that they had to start Skylar?... All these other so called backup QB saviors everyone is harping about not getting this year..What if they got injured? The point is we really don't know 100% if Mcdaniel and Grier messed up the backup QB spot because Skylar got injured and its not like he got benched after starting 2 games..he played 3 quarters.....We get Huntley and he gets injured😂 What does that tell u..Go look at the New Orleans Saints...Derek Car Goes down...and boom 0-3 and offense is just as bad as the Dolphins without TUA..Last 2 games they scored 10 and 8 points..Even the 1st game without Derek Carr they scored 27 but that was because of a punt return TD and Baker INT's setting up short field position..Without Carr..they are bottom 3-5 team in the NFL...Saints 1st 2 games of the season..47 & 44 ....Not as easy and simple as everyone makes it out to be with the back up QB. Its more than just plugging in a capable back up and winning...its a team game..

[@trublazer933]

Law of averages lol

[@Quay33]

Beasley, the defense is always on the field bcuz of a super inefficient Offense, losing Phillips Chubb on the line, and ranked top 5 in passing defense? One bad defensive game compared to an abysmal Offense the entire season. Poupart, why on earth would the GM listen to a coach, his underling, to not to get a backup QB? Esp when we had all off season to get two. Fields & Wilson. But CHRIS GRIER chose this to justify picking Tua Turndaballover, sadly & unfortunately. We need a new QB period.

[@dolphinfan1493]

This guy is so delusional lmao. We suck. We gonna get blown out. Guy says we can’t keep losing bad luck is reason why he think we can win don’t fight the trend dude hahaha

[@savr1200gs]

Adam can't see that the Bills are more talented? Time to upgrade his glasses me thinks 🤓

[@carlosrodriguez652]

We are losing 42 to 17

[@johngordon3173]

Always short handed always the victim. There are the starting Corners, the starting LBs, and the outliers that they rolled the dice on and have added nothing so far. Flo could take a third of these players and be 500. FIRE GRIER hire a former player and then evaluate MCD. A blow out to Buffalo is the opportunity to clear house.

[@christopherphillips2708]

No more excuses! The owner, GM, or money spender with no idea how to design and manage a team, a head coach who looks like he was at South Beach the night before a game.

[@Dolphan4life]

Actually I believe that these guys are more talented than the bildoes they just don't have a good enough coach and I like Mcdummy he's just not Shula and I feel that is the kind of coach they need right now,they needed there asses whooped into shape in the off season&training camp instead of Bettie Whites retreat That Mc dummy ran! And look what the outcome is! Just sad!

[@vonroque3527]

Same Dolphins difference decade breaking loyal fans heart and Ross continue to spend money foolishly on behalf of inept management.

[@hovertrout1]

Bills 34-20 and to get crushed in 3rd quarter!!

[@brittharris7134]

It’s funny that you guys think we still have hope at this point. This team is cooked.

[@bradwilliams4344]

miami needs to get rid of everyone but waddle, chubb, phillips, and rookies get rid of mike mcdaniel, grier, get a new gm and them bring in someone like mike vrabel, and let them rebuild again

[@Dolphan4life]

Since when did the bills become elite? The dolphins maybe having a real shitty yeah but that doesn't make the bills any better take allen out for a month and lets see what they do for those 4 games? Oh god that would probably make the pathetic jets a possibility for winning the East? Shoot I'd rather see new England win the east before the jets or the bildoes! Miami just needs to bring in a hardass GM like how parcells used to be! Anything would be better then whats been happening for how long now? since Grier has basicly been here,just like beasley said hes the one constant. ✌️

[@sal4856]

News flash as long as JA 17 aka Dad playing dolphins never winning anything 😂😂😂

[@andrewwilliams5487]

I smell a major upset Miami gonna win
