00:00Uh, so yesterday, Chris Greer, Mike McDaniel, they had a long press
00:03conference to ourselves during our show.
00:06We heard that we read some of the quotes as they, uh, went by.
00:10I listened to the press conference on the way home yesterday,
00:13Leroy, because I hate myself.
00:16I do.
00:17I don't know what else has to be.
00:18The only reason it's the only reason I can be listening to it.
00:21I'm like, oh, great.
00:22Let me listen to Mike McDaniel explain why he should call plays for nine minutes.
00:26I don't think, I mean, the play calling, isn't the problem because sometimes you
00:40have to call plays based on what your offense has the ability to succeed at.
00:47I, the thing that I got from him yesterday, and I think that kind of
00:52bothered me over the last couple of days.
00:53And I know you mentioned that, like, this should be a player thing, right?
00:58Is the whole idea that it kind of feels like his players are walking all over him
01:02with like people being fined multiple times.
01:07It sounds like you're talking about one person.
01:09I would think that they're talking about one person, but that person's
01:12the stuff, like, you know, one of the faces of the team.
01:16Okay.
01:16And like, how does he not corral that here's here's dude, there's certain
01:21people, if you let it go once it happens forever, you can have a conversation
01:27with them and they're like, what are you going to do?
01:29I make 30 million.
01:31You make five, right?
01:33And that attitude is what kills everything.
01:40Um, and, and I would say this, I would say that decisions are going to have to be
01:50made if that indeed is an issue, because you got 60 guys in that locker room, 70
01:58guys in the locker room, and a lot of them are young.
02:02And if you don't have the right leadership from your veterans,
02:07then that cycle will continue.
02:10It's just like heat culture.
02:11You've always had somebody in the system to kind of let
02:16everybody know how it's done here.
02:19If you don't set that tone and have people that can relay that message to the
02:25rest of the, the, the team, then that is the bigger issue.
02:30So does it mean that sometimes you get rid of star players because you're more
02:38worried about the effect they could have on a majority of your team?
02:42Sure.
02:43Before we go that route though, I think everybody needs to calm the hell down
02:50from Tyreek to everybody reacting to Tyreek till whatever people say things
02:56in a heat of the moment.
02:57And the only difference between athletes and you is that your heat of
03:02the moment, things aren't recorded.
03:05And you think unless somebody's filming, I got to publish, right?
03:09You think you should know better, right?
03:11Oh, he's an athlete.
03:12He should know better, but that don't stop you from being you.
03:15That don't stop you from being human.
03:17So let's give it a break.
03:20Wouldn't it be great if we did have footage of Leroy calling the guy, Danny
03:23DeVito for the risotto balls dispute.
03:26And we just have his highlights.
03:27The next clip is him laughing.
03:29I ain't got no shame in my game.
03:31I'll film it for you.
03:35I'll film it for you.
03:37Like, I ain't no like, yeah.
03:39Have PLV, Ray-Ban, have you, have you been able to make amends with Danny
03:44DeVito or you're just still, or is he even damaged?
03:47Last time I saw him, I said, what's up, Gardino?
03:52Leroy.
03:53Now you're going back for seconds.
03:55He just healed up from the last fight.
03:57No, he didn't heal up.
03:58He didn't apologize or nothing.
04:02I wanted to go get him one of them giant lollipops and give it to him.
04:05And just start dancing.
04:06Like, uh, oh boy, was it, get your cold cuts, get your cold cuts.
04:10I wanted to stand in front of the meat counter doing that.
04:13You do lollipop with one of them big, giant lollipops.
04:19You really hosing down people at Publix.
04:21No, not just him.
04:23I'm friendly with everybody.
04:25You go to Publix and say, oh, look, he's a very friendly guy.
04:27He's a very friendly guy.
04:28He's a very friendly guy.
04:29He's a very friendly guy.
04:30He's a very friendly guy.
04:31He's a very friendly guy.
04:32He's a very friendly guy.
04:33He's a very friendly guy.
04:34He says, hi to everybody.
04:36What's up?
04:36How's your day?
04:38Right.
04:38But that guy, like, yeah, you were wrong.
04:41Apologize.
04:42He just shooed me away instead of apologizing customer service, my ass.
04:50So yeah.
04:51So every time I see him, I give him the business and he deserves it.
04:58Here was a, somebody who deserves some criticism.
05:01That's Chris Greer.
05:03He was mad at Tua because Tua was putting himself at risk and putting himself in
05:07danger and, uh, was pretty strong at his quarterback for doing so.
05:11It was good to see his growth as a player.
05:13When he was playing, uh, I would say that the one thing that has come out of this,
05:17even this year was, uh, the leadership part is, uh, all the players are talking
05:21about is that leadership and the step he's taken and had a couple of, uh, of
05:26our free agents that come in and said he was one of the best leaders they've
05:29ever been around for a quarterback.
05:31And to see where he's come from, from his early time here, uh, was impressive.
05:37Um, that being said, he needs to be available.
05:40Like he needs to know how to protect themselves.
05:43Like you're going to get hit at times.
05:44It's always going to happen.
05:46Um, but he needs to control what he can control.
05:49He understands that, um, not being available for taking chances and
05:53risks is unacceptable to us.
05:55And he knows that.
05:57All right.
05:58There you go.
05:59It's just a weird way to put it.
06:00Is it not?
06:01I would say this,
06:07you know, it also protects your quarterback line.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Forget about the bums that I put in front of you.
06:16Stop running into the more Hamlin to, uh, I mean, it, it, I mean, think about
06:25he gets rid of the ball quicker than anybody in NFL and still
06:30at times wasn't quick enough.
06:32I don't want to say, you don't think, you don't think that the protection
06:37in front of him is, has a lot to do with why he has to take off and run.
06:42Well, here's the other thing that's annoying about it, right?
06:44It's like, okay.
06:45He had this year where he took jujitsu and he protected himself
06:49and he beefed up a little bit.
06:51But like everybody, from what I heard publicly, right.
06:55I'm just going by what everybody said, publicly, everybody was thrilled
06:57that to a lost weight was making himself more dynamic.
07:01And I didn't hear anybody in the organization bitching about that
07:04publicly, and now all of a sudden you're mad because that blew up in his face.
07:09Here, here's the most ridiculous thing about that for a guy that spent most
07:15of his life around football, a contact sport, telling a guy he
07:21has to be more careful with how he gets hit is laughable.
07:27It's just that in itself in a sport where people get wheeled
07:32off once a week and win a game.
07:36Now you're saying that guy should have been more careful.
07:39He's had a thing too, where he was like, asked yesterday about like durability.
07:42And would he be more cautious of sign guys with the, he goes, well,
07:45football's a hundred percent injury rate.
07:48Right, right.
07:50But two is unacceptable.
07:53Like this dude, I'm just telling you right now with Chris, dude,
07:56he's not helping us.
07:58He throws everybody under the, like, I don't mean to be rude about this, but
08:04typically people who can survive regimes for that long, they're great at saving
08:10their job and throwing other people under the bus, and that's what it felt like.
08:17I wonder what, what Steven Ross, what they told Steven Ross, because if that's
08:24what he said to me, he said, hell, if Tua would have kept himself healthy,
08:28we would have been in it.
08:30He said it again.
08:30He doubled down on it too.
08:32You got there.
08:32He kept going with this whole team.
08:34Why are you not succeeding?
08:37It's Tua.
08:38He's reckless.
08:40His availability of controlling what he can control, like throw the ball away.
08:45You don't have to run around, be Superman, live for the next play.
08:48And the sooner he understands that, which he's told Mike and I, he understands
08:53that clearly because this was hard for him, missing these last two games after
08:57he played all last season, it was hard for him.
09:00And what you love about him is his competitiveness and his fight.
09:04I mean, you guys have seen a little bit of how he is now when he's pissed.
09:10And that's what you love about him because he shows that to us all the time.
09:14And it's, it's not taking the competitive spirit out of him.
09:17It's just having him play smart and realize how important he is to this franchise.
09:22Maybe it won't have to be like that.
09:23And let me explain to you what he just said.
09:27Here's what a competitor does.
09:30It's third and three.
09:31You want to drive to continue.
09:33You see the first down marker, you go get it.
09:35You ain't thinking about injury.
09:37You ain't think about nothing.
09:38You're a competitor.
09:39You think about getting the first down.
09:40Simple as that.
09:41Okay.
09:43For him to say, I want him to still be a competitor.
09:48Let me explain to you how sports works.
09:53The first time it's third and three, and he has an opening to run the
10:01football for the three yards and he throws it away.
10:06I want you guys to remember the reaction.
10:09Like, I love the way people after the fact say, no, no, no.
10:15Don't go get the first.
10:16Don't be a competitor.
10:18While with the other side of your mouth saying he is an extreme
10:21competitor, he wants to win.
10:24I love that.
10:25The questions were good yesterday.
10:27You know, from the media, the one thing that I did wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't
10:29would have wanted to know from the, uh, the media on toe is like, are you
10:34guys going to continue to do this?
10:35Like, are you going to continue to treat his injuries for optics or
10:37because he's actually hurt?
10:39Right.
10:40Cause he probably could have played two more games if they were to just, and
10:44here's what I hated about that situation.
10:48And I told you, okay, here are the facts of sports.
10:53You get hurt.
10:55You have a medical staff, right?
10:58When you're healthy, you play simple as that.
11:03If you're not healthy enough to play, you don't play to put him
11:07on IR, it almost seemed like they did it to look good and not to live by those
11:13rules, you got to do it.
11:15You got to be consistent with it.
11:17Otherwise you're determining what his injury is.
11:22You're determining.
11:23So who's to say if now to a set, I can't go because of my hip and
11:29the team thinks he could go now.
11:31What?
11:33So you can't do that.
11:34You leave it up to the medical staff.
11:36The team get out of it.
11:38The player get out of it.
11:39And when you're healthy, you're healthy.
11:42And I said that back then, and I'm going to say it right now.
11:45Nobody in that building in that front office is a damn doctor.
11:50So stop making decisions based on what you think is right.
11:56Where a professional is going to make a decision based on what they know is right.
