00:00 Tua Tugabaloa says he's keeping receipts.
00:02 This is all getting a little lame to me.
00:03 We're not talking about last season
00:04 when people were writing him off before it started.
00:07 No one has said that Tua is a bomb.
00:09 There may have been some people questioning
00:11 how he performed without Tyreek Hill.
00:13 But can the Dolphins beat a team over 500
00:15 before they talk so much?
00:17 - Right, he's definitely in his feelings.
00:18 I feel like he's stuck between a rock and a hard place.
00:21 If he plays poorly or not up to the standard that he set,
00:24 it's like, "Oh, okay, Tua's not that good."
00:25 And if he plays exceptional, it's like,
00:27 "Oh, well, he's throwing at Tyreek and Jaylon Waddle."
00:29 So it's like, he can't really win.
00:31 I feel like he should focus more on what you just said,
00:34 how about beat a team that's a winning team,
00:36 as worrying about keeping receipts
00:37 and where people place you in terms of quarterback rankings.
00:40 I feel like he's not focused on
00:42 what he needs to be focused on.
00:43 - Yeah, and look, Tua Tugabaloa is a good,
00:46 I don't even know why I say the last name.
00:48 I should just shorten it to Tua,
00:50 once I said it the first time.
00:51 But everybody knows he's a good quarterback, right?
00:53 He's an accurate quarterback and all those things.
00:55 The ability to prove he's more than that
00:58 isn't going to come in a win over the Jets.
01:01 - Yeah, I feel like he's at a place
01:04 where a lot of quarterbacks find themselves,
01:05 like, "All right, what can you do when it actually matters?"
01:08 Like, for him, his matters is,
01:11 "Well, can you beat a winning team?"
01:12 But you see other quarterbacks who are like,
01:14 "All right, well, show me how good you are
01:16 "in terms of playoff success."
01:17 Like, Dak is one of those quarterbacks in that situation.
01:19 So I feel like he's just not focused on the right thing.
01:22 Now, at the same time, whatever motivates you, motivates you.
01:24 So if you're able to internalize that
01:26 and use it to your benefit, that's fine.
01:28 But if you getting too consumed with it,
