00:00NFL playoffs get going this week, Miami dolphins, uh, today, I believe Chris
00:06Greer is meeting with the media.
00:09I don't want to hear it.
00:11Nothing.
00:12There's nothing you can say that would interest you.
00:14No, nothing.
00:15I want to hear the question.
00:16Here's what I am.
00:17I I'm past the point of hearing what somebody has to say.
00:22So we can comment on that.
00:25I'm more concerned with talking about what somebody does.
00:31Okay.
00:32So we already know your offensive line project didn't work for whatever reason.
00:39It didn't work.
00:41So I don't want to hear about that.
00:45I want to hear about what you're going to do about this old ass team, because
00:50everybody's extremely old and you're paying a lot of money to old guys.
00:54This is no knock on their abilities, but if you have a whole bunch of young
00:59guys, old guys, even when you have success, it goes from a hundred to
01:05zero really quick, and then you're terrible.
01:08So you need to build, you need to have an infrastructure.
01:12Usually the way you do that, the way you can stay relevant is to have a
01:17valid offensive line, a valid defensive line, one that can be together for a few
01:22years, buys you time, draft me some stout interior lineman.
01:31Who's never missed a game.
01:34That's what I want.
01:34Can I, can I, can I say this?
01:37Okay.
01:39Fans want guys to draft a need.
01:44Don't draft the need because what happens when you draft a need is you
01:49sometimes end up picking a player higher than his true value is.
01:56And I don't want that.
01:57You want Gente?
01:58I just want what you got to let it play out.
02:02You got, you have to let it play out so that when they get to 13, I want to
02:09see what is the best available player.
02:13I don't want reaching.
02:15I don't want drafting out a need best available player.
02:18Now, if there's a player that could fit your situation more, that's one or two
02:25spots back or a guy falls down.
02:28That's fine.
02:30But how many times have we had guys that the dolphins drafted me?
02:34Go wasn't even on our radar.
02:38Right?
02:38No.
02:41So let's draft that.
02:44I don't want to hear, oh, but we needed this.
02:47We needed that.
02:48Even if it ends up working out, you could have had that guy like, no, it's
02:54time for this organization in this team to draft players that are going to be
03:01with the team for longer than two or three years, Bruce Buffett, dude.
03:14I thought you couldn't say that.
03:15Oh, wait, that's Bruce.
03:16We're not allowed to say Michael.
03:17Jesus.
03:19He almost got me caught up there with you.
03:23What are you doing, dude?
03:23Why is he running over here?
03:31The, uh, by the way, you said it first.
03:33So anyway, I didn't say nothing.
03:35Chris Greer is speaking to the media right now.
03:38Oh, now he is great.
03:40Will the dolphins accommodate Tyree kills desire to play or trade him elsewhere?
03:43Barry Jackson tweets out Chris Greer quote.
03:45Mike and I have had a conversation with Tyree productive conversations.
03:49I will keep those between us in a frustrating season.
03:51He was very emotional in a game where we had a chance of
03:54coming back from two and six.
03:56Greer said Tyree did not backtrack quote, but didn't ask me for a
04:01tray, uh, didn't ask for a trade with me again.
04:05Like I told you before, could you tell, are we smart enough to look at the way
04:12that interview went and saw how he kept getting more and more heated and heated
04:17that, you know, at some point he was going to say something, he may regret.
04:21Did you not get the feel from that, from just watching the way that interview went?
04:25That is what, uh, Omar Kelly said the next day that essentially he was, uh, not
04:30forced to speak, but heavily suggested that he should speak and therefore said
04:38something he probably didn't mean, but damn, it's just undo.
04:42How do I go back on a team?
04:44Listen, nobody, Pat Riley was emotional when he told Jimmy Butler to shut up.
04:49Nobody gave him a pass.
04:52You guys have sat here, blame me all year for it.
04:55I don't want to hear it.
04:56You know, he might've gotten away from that from just saying,
04:59yeah, I got to pay him.
05:00I said the one thing that may have just flipped the little switch on him and he
05:05went a little too far and does anybody give Pat Riley the past?
05:07No, it's held over Pat Riley's head all year long.
05:11And coincidentally also over my head the entire time.
05:15So, but, but here's the deal.
05:18When you direct something that you say towards another person, it becomes
05:25more difficult to take back, right?
05:30Because here's what happens.
05:31The rats run over to the other person and go, what he said about you.
05:37This is what he said.
05:38What is your comments?
05:39And they go back and forth.
05:40I didn't say that about anybody though.
05:42That's not what I'm going to get.
05:43No, no, no.
05:43You said, does Pat get a break?
05:45I said the difference between what Pat Riley said and what Jimmy said is Jimmy's
05:51comments and Tyreek's comments were only about them.
05:56Pat Riley commented directly to Jimmy Butler.
06:02So it's harder to take that back.
06:07Even if you say that's not what I meant, damage is done.
06:10Whereas when you say something that only involves you, it's much easier to take
06:15back and say, that's not what I meant.
06:16What did the rats say?
06:19This is what Pat said.
06:20This is what Pat said.
06:21What's your comments?
06:22Mike McDaniels from Barry Jackson.
06:24Uh, Mike McDaniels said there were certain players who were late this year
06:28who had been fined multiple times and it won't be tolerated.
06:31He said, fines have not been enough.
06:33Hardiness was a theme in his meeting yesterday.
06:36McDaniels said he will deal with this.
06:39I told you what he needs to do.
06:41And it's not a knock here.
06:46When I was in the NFL, I was a big fan of the McDaniels.
06:48Here, when I was younger and I have accepted these rules in my house, here's
07:00what it is.
07:03My dad would say this, the level of punishment that you get is solely based
07:11on you, not me.
07:13So if I say don't do something and we can only have a conversation, good.
07:20If it happens again and I have to raise my voice.
07:24Okay.
07:24You're still not getting it.
07:25Maybe you'll get it after I raised my voice.
07:28If it continues, right, then you got to be punished.
07:32If it continues again, then you're going to get your boat whooped.
07:37Okay.
07:38But the level of punishment that you get is on you, not on me.
07:46And he said, quote, one thing I learned is finding guys didn't particularly move
07:49the needle in a way I needed to.
07:51I'll adjust as I should as a head coach.
07:53Yeah.
07:55Yeah.
07:56Like just sounds like you've got to fight them, but here's the problem.
08:00Here's the problem.
08:03Here's the, here's the problem.
08:04Second time this week, Daniel told Tyree kill.
08:08Uh, here's what he said.
08:09He says he met with Tyree kill and told him leaving a game is
08:14unacceptable and won't be tolerated.
08:19What does that mean?
08:19That means he's going to be back.
08:21Season's over suspended.
08:23Yeah.
08:25Yeah.
08:25You know, we just can't have you around.
08:28You know why you don't have to worry about that.
08:33Tyree should care more about what he did to the players in the locker room than
08:37what he did to the coach and organization.
08:40That's a fact, right?
08:42So Zach Seeler saying kind of show and discuss without, without really
08:48saying anything, just being disappointed.
08:51That should have more of an impact.
08:53That's what leaders do on the team.
08:55That the impact is not from the coach saying he didn't like it, but from your
09:00boys, the guys that you went to battle with those guys, your other offensive
09:05players to the guys on defense saying, wait a minute, we out here, you know,
09:11doing this and send them to the cards.
09:13Give me T Higgins.
09:16Send him to, you mean, I'm like, how does that really the Cardinals, the Cardinals?
09:20Yeah.
09:21Send them to the Cardinals far away.
09:22Send them to everybody wants to go to Arizona.
09:25Jimmy wants to go to Arizona.
09:27You want to send them to Cincinnati?
09:30Yeah.
09:30But isn't it free agent?
09:30Can we get T Higgins on the, on the, on the market?
09:34We'll swap.
09:36I don't know how it works.
09:38Me either.
09:39We got cut in the NFL.
09:41We got cut and re-signed.
