| 0:32.3 | tuesday uh club's going to go up because a lot of things happen in before you know what i'm i'my Cornett. He's Chris Canty. He's Marcus Spears. You know him. He is Stephen A. Smith. This is first take-through Breeze is also going to join us later on in the show. Let's talk about what happened last night before we opened the playbook for the rest of it. Week four came to a close, obviously. Miami beat the Jets to get their first win of the season, but it came with, unfortunately, a loss as well as you see. Tyriek Hill carted off the field in the third quarter with what looked like really a bad knee injury. Today, we do have confirmation from one Adam Schaefter he posted on X earlier this morning. And he said, quote, in addition to dislocating his knee, Dolphins wide receiver Tyree Kill also tore multiple ligaments in his knee, including his ACL. |
| 1:14.3 | He remains hospitalized and will undergo surgery today, meaning Tuesday. |
| 1:18.7 | Now we have to open this up to what this means for the dolphins, obviously, and Tyreek Hill's future going forward. |
| 1:24.4 | And so, Marcus, I'll go to you first. |
| 1:25.9 | A really unfortunate injury, obviously, for one, Tyree Kill, but also for the dolphins who base their entire offense around this man. Shay, you used the perfect word. It's unfortunate because last night I felt like they got in a groove with Tyreek. They found him some opportunities to get open. He was using this run-after catchability. And you saw kind of this lightning strike from this team that we've been looking forward to. Now, the Jets ain't world beaters on defense. But we also, but we also, but this is, we've seen this offense operate in that vein and have a tremendous amount of success. And I also thought, with the addition of Darren Waller and Tyree Keele being on the field, this would put |
| 2:02.9 | Tua in a situation where we don't have to worry about him with the second re. |
| 2:07.0 | You got a big fella just go up and make a play if you get in trouble. |
| 2:10.4 | So Tariq going down is catastrophic for this team from the standpoint of how teams defend |
| 2:17.0 | you, now how people come into games not |
| 2:19.8 | having to worry about him and ranking a football game they still got waddle and it's still |
| 2:24.5 | waller who looks like you're going to be a big part of this offense but we know why tarik |
| 2:28.4 | hill got a hundred plus million dollars as a wide receiver it's because people are terrified |
| 2:32.6 | when they play against him and the |
| 2:34.5 | potential of him breaking the game wide open. Yeah, we've never seen Tua be good without Tariq Hill. We've seen Tariq Hill be good with other quarterbacks. And when you ask me big picture, what does this mean for the Miami Dolphins? It means that they head coach, the general manager, probably going to get fired. That's what it means. Coming into this season, Mike McDaniel had the third shortest odds of any coach to be fired first. And I have seen nothing through the first four weeks to change that for me. I'm not going to get enamored by what I saw last night because I think that had a whole lot to do with the Jets being short-handed on defense, missing a first round draft draft picking an all-pro player in their front seven. |
| 3:08.8 | And then, of course, offensively, the miscues. |
| 3:11.5 | You're talking about them having three fumbles in a four-possession span, two of those being in plus territory, |
| 3:17.4 | one being in the shadow of the end zone for the dolphins going in. |
| 3:21.1 | If Brayland Allen doesn't fumble the ball and they score a touchdown, that's a 14-point |
| 3:26.1 | swing right there in the game alone. |
| 3:28.1 | So you had two plus territory turnovers and you got no points out of those drives. |
