00:00Kyle McCourt, a second year, all last year on practice squad, comes to Miami before the
00:10season starts to be the backup quarterback, and here he goes, gets his first NFL start,
00:17actually first NFL game, so gets all week to get ready for it, we're going to find out,
00:25I'm guessing Aaron Brewer's not going to play, he's already missed two practices, your all-pro
00:31center, who is the most important guy, calling out what he sees, and especially having a veteran
00:38center for a brand new quarterback, and again, it's one thing to play preseason, he had a really
00:47nice preseason, but this is not in Green Bay, and this is not preseason, this is game plans,
00:54and everything else, so it's a great opportunity for him, this is what, you know, he's waiting
00:59for this opportunity, and here it is, to be the guy, not just now, but at least the next
01:06four weeks, if not longer, but again, now I got everybody saying this, well, I know, but
01:15look what he's got around, he's got the same things Malik's at, growing, developing, young
01:19receivers, Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas, Kevin Coleman, Douglas and Coleman, rookies, and finding
01:27a way hopefully to get, and I'd be going to Greg Dulcich, I would definitely make that a point,
01:33and hopefully we get somewhat of a running game going for him, but he is going to be playing
01:38with a young center that's been here, but because Aaron Brewer has played a lot, Andrew Meyer, who's
01:44a good player, by the way, I think he's, he could be a good center, that's not the problem,
01:50he's just lacking experience as well, he's seen it all, he's been around, he's played a
01:56little bit, but he's also a very young guy, so that's where you are, so everybody wants
02:03to know, what do you think Kyle McCord's going to look like, what if he's the guy, Joe, what's
02:08that do, what happens to Malik, well, nothing's going to happen to Malik Willis, he's going to
02:13be here, how likely is that though, that he's the guy, right, I mean, I don't know, and by
02:19the way, you're right, there are a lot of people that were asking for Malik to be benched,
02:23no, no, I get it, I think the more I like him, the more they bring in stuff about why
02:28they don't like him, but that's okay, so anyway, he's in a situation, not a running quarterback,
02:34number one, number two, he's just going to see a lot of things that he hasn't seen it
02:43full speed, blitzes, this is going to be a disaster, isn't it, I hope it's not a disaster
02:48and a lot of that's going to depend on, Bobby Sloick's aware of all this stuff, he's been
02:52in the league for a while, he's been a coordinator in Houston, he knows, and he's got to give him
03:00every opportunity, this is not seven on seven, it's not one on one drills on the outside,
03:04it's, you know, it's, you need ten guys around you to help you make plays and stuff, but he
03:13hasn't played, and it could, if he doesn't have a running game, it could, it could get
03:19ugly, it could be, and there's going to be growing pains, so I just want to calm everybody
03:26down on their enthusiasm of what's going to happen in this game.
03:31I hope, I hope, listen, when he does, if he does get off to a good start, it would be
03:37great, it would, you know, be great for the team and confidence, but you got a guy, again,
03:46that's throwing to, we got receivers, young receivers still trying to figure it out, I saw
03:51the comments yesterday, Jalen Tolbert was talking about our guys still got to learn how to run
03:56routes, especially when they're tired, Douglas and Coleman, and I'm not worried about Malik
04:01Washington, matter of fact, if, if I was Kyle, I'd be, I'd be looking for Malik in certain
04:06situations, because he is going to do all the right things, and whatever he tells you, and
04:11whatever you're supposed to do, he'll do, so I'm curious like you are, now, saying all
04:16that, if I could handpick three teams to open with for my first start, this would be one
04:26of the three teams right now, along with the Jets, and probably the Chargers, this would
04:33be maybe the Titans, but, but this would be right there at the top, because they got, they've
04:39got their own problems right now.
04:41Yeah, they're terrible.
04:42They've got lots of problems, and even their running back is struggling, what I see is
04:49averaging three yards a carry after they traded away their top lineman.
04:53Well, last thing we wanted, Jonathan Taylor, to end up having a good game, then you got
04:58serious problems, but yeah, they keep him, and they keep Jones and Taylor, they had to
05:03be thinking they're going to be the first two gone, right, and, and here they are, starting
05:08a quarterback, and big running back, who's had a great, great NFL career so far, he really
05:14has, and 600 and something yards right now, once again, so anyway, I, I'm like you, I am
05:20really curious to see what the whole Malik Willis thing is going to look like, and while
05:24I'm at it, I'm not done, I want to let you know, Zach Seeler's out, done for the season,
05:31torn bicep.
05:33Kenneth Grant, you've been back, now this will be your fifth game back.
05:37We can't hide you, we can't play you a little bit, we need you to be a front line guy,
05:44and
05:45look like the guy out of Michigan, that everybody, when you got drafted, everybody was jumping
05:51in down, please take Kenneth Grant, please take Kenneth Grant, that's the guy we wanted.
05:57Big, strong guy that dominates the offensive line.
06:02We got to see that guy.
06:05Biggers, getting better, defensive end, tackle, combination, Phillips been great, getting,
06:12you're the number one guy though in that group.
06:14We need Kenneth Grant to look like a front line guy.
06:19Now, a front line guy doesn't mean he's got to get this great pass rush, but a front line
06:23guy means you stay on that line, and you take on double teams, and you hold your own, and
06:28you don't get pushed to one side, or pushed backwards.
06:33He's your biggest defensive lineman, and we need to see it.
06:37I don't want to hear about rust.
06:39The rust is done.
06:40He played all last year, and he's been back for a few games.
06:43Well, he's been rusty coming back.
06:45I get it.
06:45I understand.
06:46You're right.
06:47And I know it's only his second year, but now we need to start seeing improvement.
06:52Zach's not, you're going to take a lot of those snaps from Zach Seeler, and we need you.
07:00That's a big one.
07:02We're already thin.
07:03It's a thin roster.
07:05It's got some talent to it.
07:07I think if I'm John Eric Sullivan, I'm actually pretty excited about what I've seen through half
07:12this season, considering how young, and the draft picks, we haven't hit on every guy.
07:18I didn't expect that.
07:19You'd have to be, you know, stupid to think we're going to go, you know, some crazy number,
07:24but it's been good.
07:26First four picks looked apart.
07:29Three or four others got a shot.
07:33We got a couple guys hit the wall a little bit.
07:36I think Kazmieric hit the wall a little bit, and Chris Bell hit the wall a little bit, which
07:41just happens, it doesn't mean you give up on them, it just means that they've stalled here
07:49a little bit in their play, and Chris Bell's got to get healthy.
07:53He hasn't practiced the last couple days, but if he doesn't play, it's okay, because you're
07:59going to see a lot of Malik Washington, Kevin Coleman, and Caleb Douglas, so that's where
08:05you are, man, and I'm looking forward to it.
08:08I'm looking forward to seeing how they play.
08:10They've been great against all the really good teams, hanging in there, didn't let the
08:14Patriots, hell, they had a 10-point lead on the Patriots at the half before losing.
08:19They were hanging tough throughout the game last week with the Lions, couldn't get any
08:24offense going, but they're hanging tough.
08:26Defense can't play any better than they did last week.
08:29So anyway, saying all that stuff, man, saying all that stuff, I am curious to see what Kyle
08:36McCord's going to look like the first time out.
08:39And the one good thing, as I said before, he's picking a pretty good team to start with,
08:46considering everything that's going on there right now.
08:50Hey, defensively, the receivers they're playing, they got rid of their two top receivers.
08:56They traded them.
08:58And their other top receiver has been injured basically the whole year.
09:03So you got guys with basically no stats that are playing this week against your defense.
09:09I mean, the Dolphins are only three and a half point underdogs in this game, to give you
09:11an idea how bad the Colts are.
09:13Yeah.
09:14Oh, listen, man.
09:15Like, the Dolphins got a lot of question marks in this game, man.
09:19A lot of stuff.
09:20A lot of good stuff.
09:21To go into a game like that and you're on the road, too.
09:25Well.
09:26They're essentially saying this is what, a pick-em game if it's here in Miami?
09:32Well, they, as I said, they got rid of some guys and they haven't played well when they
09:37had everybody together.
09:39So we'll see.
09:40You know what?
09:41We know these guys, you know, they're going hard.
09:45Most of them have not lost their confidence through the good and the bad and the growing
09:49pains of being a young player.
09:51And so here we go.
09:53Here we go on our way up to Indy.
