Miami Dolphins vs. Bills... Statement game or Statement season? What are the "don't lose" games for the Dolphins?
Transcript
00:00uh reporters boots on the ground they are saying that Jalen Ramsey yet again is not at practice
00:05today so uh i mean they don't see all of practice so i guess we gotta wait till the official injury
00:11report that he didn't practice but it appears uh Jalen Ramsey is not practicing for the second
00:17straight day Leroy uh which probably guess he's out he would guess he's out yeah especially what
00:22what makes me would suggest that to me is not that he hasn't practiced but the fact that you
00:30have a game four days after this one right so if there was any question i'd just hold them
00:38and try to get him ready for that second game which you have already deemed a must win statement
00:45i did not say this one i said it's a statement statement is a must win no no what's the
00:49difference i wish i could pinch your cheeks i and i wonder why and i want to punch you in the eye
00:56why is it different a must win is a must win like a must win is like yeah okay backs against the
01:01wall but it's a statement game a statement game is like hey this year's different statement game
01:08yeah it's different but let me ask you this sure in a statement game you have to win uh no
01:17because if you lose the statement is yeah and also if you barely win not really a statement
01:24no that's not true it depends if you barely win if you barely win if the dolphins won
01:30three nothing against the bills still a statement game oh no people would be in here people would
01:36be in here if the dolphins beat the bill is yeah wait and silly sauce says it best you're manipulating
01:43your twister of words oh he says is it a don't lose game no no way that's different because
01:49that's the same as must win no i'll give you that let me get that off the schedule i'll give you
01:53their don't lose no no that's different that is different don't lose is when like like the heat
01:59were the kings of losing the don't lose games last year yeah you know it's a game you're supposed to
02:03win yeah it's a game you're supposed to win like but can i ask if you beat all the teams you should
02:09beat yeah and you don't beat any of the teams that everybody says you're competing with right
02:16doesn't that slide you below those teams no it's last year's schedule repeat your expression
02:22if you beat all the teams that you're supposed to be except for one that was the tennessee debacle
02:29yeah they beat every team they're supposed to be right and then they struggled against the teams
02:34that supposedly were either playoff teams or uh upper echelon teams in the league yep right
02:42doesn't that slide you just below those teams yeah which is probably where they were right
02:46but but so they never made a statement but why are we assuming and i'm not saying this is the
02:51case this year but last year why are we assuming that they should have done better when they showed
02:58that hey this is right where we belong because you need like i think everybody had the expectation
03:04when they were expectations of where you want to be and where you are are two different things uh
03:10yeah but but that's why these are these journeys along the way like they never made their statement
03:15in their statement because they weren't good enough right so so so this year and here's when
03:20you know they make that that next step because then maybe the record is 500 against playoff teams
03:28or maybe a 75 or maybe a 60 at some point you're going to know your teams better when those games
03:34turn around dade south says it well um uf was a statement game but not necessarily a must win
03:41for sure wait but it was a team playing against a terrible unranked it was a statement game
03:47rivalry game first game of the cam board that's a statement yeah and it's terrible by the way you
03:52know they're starting their new quarterback well i mean the other guy got broken into a
03:55oh my goodness what are you talking about they had no choice lagway i think tim tebow could have
04:01played quarterback all right so week two yeah buffalo buffalo statement game easy so wait do i
04:07need my whiteboard for you all these labels you put on these games week four tennessee yeah don't
04:12lose don't lose yeah don't lose for sure for sure for sure so in other words wait and let me say
04:18this is mike mcdaniel has been here any tcb game this is since mike mcdaniel has been here they
04:24have taken care of the teams that they should except for one that's why this is a don't lose
04:30though okay okay it's also they've proven they can take care of the the right the scrubs tcb
04:36tcb game need that week five at new england gotta go on the road gotta hit a rival for sure we gotta
04:42take care of business gotta take care of business come on tcb yep that's good not a must i have i
04:46have faith that they'll do that then because that's what they've done yeah take care of business
04:51so but then the and then the next statement game won't be till week nine at buffalo
04:57so both so they might play they might get rid of buffalo with no snow yeah that would be helpful
05:05but i'm telling you like i think this makes also and i don't think you i think you're on the outside
05:10on this people agree with me and if you don't think that week two against the bills is a statement
05:16um i don't want to hear that you know i don't i would say for this game literally
05:20just saying it almost made me cuss i just i'm just saying just just saying the ridiculousness
05:26of week two being a statement game just almost made me here's what i would say here's here's
05:31what i would say this way wait that is perfect date south that's what i feel like yeah i feel
05:37like salmon swim i'm swimming against the tobin current and and and tobin's the bear
05:45waiting outside
05:50i would say you see this is this is a tough one to gauge because these these teams in a lot of
05:55ways are mirror images you don't know how good they are but but i would say you know you know
05:58what this week is what's that it's not a statement game it's a little under that yeah i'd call it a
06:04tone setter tone setter game it's a tone setter so let me get this straight as you can only do
06:09that a couple times can i say this tone setter everybody's talking about the dolphins and
06:17everybody's talking about the jets you think the bills are a better team than they were last year
06:27i with all the losses i think they're worse i would agree with you but i can't i can't
06:33disrespect what they have i'm not disrespect you are what you are i still think they could i still
06:37think they could they could on offense at least they could mince you up and and like control
06:42again if they want to because they they have a moose quarterback they have a great running back
06:46they have two big tight ends i i have to see them suck to see them stuck and that's why the statement
06:50must be made that's right that's why the statement must be made closed mouths don't get fed leroy
06:55but it's it's what hold on what are you talking don't try to see i love the way he tries to sneak
06:59stuff in hold on what did you just say close mouths don't get fed you got to make a statement
07:04and what did uh mike mcdaniel say about energy oh you know the best kind of energy yeah what did he
07:08say i believe it was the strongest energy wave you can give off is authenticity write that down
07:14write that down write that down so i think that's why i get so pissed off at mike mcdaniel because
07:22i hear it from you and now the coach talks like you it's just a tone setter that's all this this
07:27week is a tone center that's right it's not a must win they lose all right you know i'm not gonna
07:32be happy about it it is possible i think i think the jaguars are a decent team yeah i think there's
07:36a lot of similarities between these teams a lot of similarities between these teams what yeah there's
07:40a lot of similarities between these teams who's the guy defensively there is defensively there is
07:45but i would say that the secondary here is a little bit better yeah i mean but i would give
07:52right i would give the russians an edge on jackson yep but i would say because they can walk
08:00but i would say the push up the middle is a little better here i hope what sealer it on up
08:09and and they're gonna be rotated dude because you have to understand you got a 37 year old
08:13and seal is what 28 um he doesn't age he's too much of a man no they're gonna play a game in
08:19four days so there's going to be a lot of rotation zack sealer could play back-to-backs
08:25that's what a man he is it's true like football doesn't we don't know why we don't play with
08:30those rules sit but if he needed to he could yeah he's gonna play back-to-back at thursday
08:37and they get a whole bunch of days off so my question is are they going to be careful with
08:42guys like um the cornerback jaylen jaylen uh ramsay jp are they gonna be careful with um
08:52jaylen phillips uh how are they gonna go about that now or is the odell beckham thing four games
09:00or four weeks four games okay because the four four games comes a little quicker right
09:06no it's the same there's no bias yeah there's no but they ever buy a week six
09:12oh zack sealer b-day saturday does he look at that wow is what no his b-days do you think
09:17that he has like a instead of uh was he 28 uh he's 28 now turning 29 okay you think uh you
09:23think he has like beef jerky candles oh yeah right you gotta bite bite the fire
09:30i'm just gonna bite the fire paseo i don't understand what this means he says mcdaniel
09:34is a tobin enabler that's why lira hates him yeah how really i don't hate mike mcdaniel i
09:39think he's a hell of a coach you hate his act i i just know i know people that are like i know
09:44people like that like they genuinely ramble like you don't ramble you that's your way of
09:52getting around things but mike is one of those people that he tries to answer all the questions
10:02with one answer you and and so he may start talking about certain aspects of the question
10:09you asked when you didn't even ask about it because he's trying to answer all the follow-up
10:13questions thanksgiving against green bay on the road statement game i mean yeah that is
10:19a statement game here gotta show green bay who's boss i would say christmas here's how to work
10:25here's how they say if you if you go
10:3275 percent no 100 at home 50 on the road you end up with like a 13 or 4 record
10:39oh and mike mcdaniel seems to be very good at home right very good right so especially early
10:45huh especially early right yeah i did hear a joke today from tony basselli when he was talking to
