Transcript
00:00This will be abbreviated 15 minutes of game day uncensored it's brought to you by the Lexus TX
00:04room for all your passions in three rows of luxurious comfort experience amazing at your
00:09Lexus dealer do you think this is a pull out the stops game pull out all the stops game for
00:15Jeff
00:15Halfley like you normally you would think oh a tough opponent Kansas City or Buffalo I gotta go
00:24into my bag I gotta do trick plays but this season they're literally I think his goal is I gotta
00:33get
00:33one win I don't want to go winless for my first season as a head coach so I wonder if
00:39he identifies
00:39this game as a pull out all the stops game where the flea flickers the reverses the stuff you might
00:48not normally see because this is actually a winnable game they're coming off a bye week so
00:54he can implement extra stuff if he wants to like I feel like if I was Jeff Halfley I'd be
01:01looking at
01:02this game as the one where I can then relax for the rest of the season because if you're Jeff
01:07Halfley
01:08you're thinking to yourself I don't want to answer questions every week when it gets to week nine and
01:1410 and 11 about hey do you think this team might go winless and how would that affect your coaching
01:20career if that's your first season so I kind of feel like Sunday might be this pull out all the
01:26stops we are coming out of there with a victory kind of week I agree with you it's a 305
01:39thank you bet bug you're welcome 305 sponsored by miami lake chevrolet where you walk in as a
01:45customer and drive out his family agree with you 100 but not because it's a must win but some of
01:52the
01:52things you said are so dead on hawk what do we say about andy reed as different than other head
01:57coaches he his winning percentage after the bye week you're a young head coach you want to prove
02:04you're a good coach I'm going to give you two weeks to prepare for a team and they're not very
02:09good
02:10you should beat that team so I think that narrative of coming out the bye week it being the jet
02:15it being
02:16the AFC and AFC East opponent there's a lot of variables that yes this was circled but I think
02:22the most important thing for Halfley to your question coming off of a bye week you should show me
02:27something that you had an extra seven damn days to get ready that's right on as well there have
02:33already Jimmy yeah potential penalty check for a handball oh interesting um that's interesting
02:41what you just said there he doesn't want to answer questions after Sunday you were on a bye week
02:50and you came out looking like that disorganized penalized or whatever there's another reason
02:57to break everything out for this game you you for myriad reasons he needs to come out of this game
03:06with a win Malik needs it as well but Jeff Halfley needs a win on Sunday it's it's why I
03:13think you
03:13might see a lot of special stuff and and to your point Crowder there's been at least one or two
03:20cases
03:20of the Dolphins just shooting themselves in the foot in all those first five games right like you can think
03:26back to to field positioning because of poor kickoff coverage you can think back to pre-snap penalties
03:33you can just think of like some boneheaded mistakes that kept the Dolphins from potentially being in
03:38games in the fourth quarter this is one of those games Crowder where the Dolphins just play a clean
03:43game the process is clean and they just they don't shoot themselves in the foot they're gonna have a
03:48chance to win this football game if everything else goes right and you don't want to be in a situation
03:52where coming off a bye your team continues to make those sloppy mistakes and that's what kept you
03:58from getting your first win against an opponent that you should have a chance to beat by the way
04:04we have a policy kick for Borman all right let's go handball let's go so does that mean do they
04:11have
04:11to they have to try to put it in with their hand yeah they have to put it in with
04:14their hand all right
04:15i appreciate that jimmy just looked it up there's a list of this speaking of halfway and it's his
04:23first year like it's not going to ruin his coaching career andy reed is on the top of the list
04:28he's at
04:28he's batting 800 after bye weeks in his career you got a goal i mean we got a born with
04:35goal already
04:35let's go sean mcdermott's ain't no john harbaugh 75 after bye like good coaches come out of a bye
04:43week after 14 days of preparation and win halfley show us something i'm going back hulk give a brother
04:50a flea flicker i need something on this brother get a flea flicker i'm telling you break out everything
04:57on sunday you are gonna face crazy tough questions if they come off a bye week and they look flat
05:07against a bad team because then you're like well what what what did you do you're on the other teams
05:1547 46 fourth and one go for it not even if the analytics don't show it at this point in
05:21the game
05:21like you got you got 18 inches to get it go get it halfling go get it yeah put together
05:26a play
05:27let's hope it doesn't come down to like a 58 yard zane gonzalez field goal and he uh shanks it
05:32you
05:33know and you're like where's riley patterson when you need him now if they don't get it on fourth
