 Now, I love watching my Ravens play some football, as y'all already know. We have a really good time watching Baltimore go do their thing, win, lose, draw, and it's been a lot more winning than all the other stuff. But these games against the Miami Dolphins, these games are just a little bit different for me personally. Obviously, being down here in Miami, I have a lot of close friends, a lot of family that are Dolphins fans. So these games, they hit a little bit different. So this game, this was a very special game to me. So I had to bring on a very, very special guest, somebody who is near and dear to the channel, just to show how much this game really matters and to really take a deep dive looking at this Dolphins team. Their strengths, their weaknesses, what they're going to try to do against the Ravens, and what the Ravens can try to do against them. So without further ado, let's get into it. YouTube team keeping clean. Very, very special guest in the building, because of course we got these Miami Dolphins coming to town this week to take on the Ravens. And we all remember, even though it's not a revenge game, because every single season is different, last year left a sour taste in a lot of Ravens fans' mouths and a sweet one with the Dolphins. Because a lot of people use that, and analysts and media as well, they use that as sort of a benchmark game. Oh, how's Lamar going to do against the Blitz? So it's going to happen if you Blitz Lamar. But we're getting to all that. But first, let me introduce this very special guest, my guy TD Fitness Talk. I appreciate you coming on the channel. And this should be a fun week. Absolutely, man. And thanks for having me, bro. I appreciate it. And congratulations on all the success you've had in the amazing growth, man. I've been noticing it, and I'm telling you, you're a pioneer, bro. Oh, no, I ain't no pioneer, nothing, man. I'm just... Pioneer, baby. No. Give him his flowers, people. Give him his flowers. No. You know, man, because you've been, I think since 2019, because who was it? Oh, I forgot the guy's name, who got us linked up, but yeah, man, it's been love and respect ever since, man. So I appreciate you big time. Let everybody know before we get into it, let everybody know where they can find you at, and exactly what you do on your channel. Shout out to the two of you. All right. I see what you did. Big E-Fans talk home of the real Miami Dolphin fans, you know, on YouTube, come check me out. I just keep it 100 on the show, tell my true opinion. I have my fandom moments, but at the same token, giving true analysis. And sometimes even around the league, talking about different teams and stuff like that, but that's pretty much it, man. Y'all come check me out, especially if you want to actually go on an official Super Bowl run this year. Come check me out. It's the Dolphins, baby. Let's go. These ain't jokes these ain't jokes And all of his all his stuff will be down below in the description. So now What one of my favorite topics to listen to you on is mr. Tua himself Last week y'all took on Bill Belichick Matt Jones Matt Jude on shot the magic on but y'all took on those New England Patriots last week Came out with a victory in Miami and that's usually what the Dolphins do with the Patriots in Miami They've been doing that since the Brady days, but um, how was to and just really the offense has a hole in that game Uh, okay, so um offense as a hole in the game was very underwhelming Um and disappointing to be quite honest with you, you know at the end of the day We got the w as something that is a dolphin fan You're gonna be excited about but when you go watch the film in the all 22 is disappointing We brought in all these weapons. We brought in, you know Some top tier old linemen in the NFL Tyree kill cedric wilson and we brought some speed at the running back position um We mosard and chase admins and you know, I'ma be honest with you dolphin nation We expected to put up 30 points, you know We expected, you know the transformation like okay, we're the chiefs now, you know But at the end of the day our offense only put up 13 points The defense scored a touchdown. So we ended up with 20 points Um, we you know, we got some yards in the game our quarterback threw for two 280 But at the same token, you know to put it to put up 13 points, we're gonna have to be better than that and after watching the film I know you asked about two or man um There was too many opportunities left on the field We're not talking about titans that we need to take shots We're talking about wide open opportunities that we left on the field So we celebrate the w we got the win anyway But after watching the film, it made me feel like the patriots are a lot worse than people know Because I mean we had tons of opportunity But we also need to be better because we didn't take advantage of those opportunities. So That's what I got for you, man Okay, and that's interesting because um, I know what the with the Ravens offense There have been a lot of uh mixed emotions heading into this season Based off of how good they can be um what their uh Their highest peak can possibly be throughout this season But we know like with Lamar Jackson anything is possible But with uh with the Ravens offense against the Jets, uh, who got some they got some ballers on that defense, man um, and The Ravens offense they started off slow They started off really slow. Um, but then eventually they they got some stuff going obviously with Lamar with the three touchdowns last week um But I looked at it as sort of an extension of the pre-season for the Ravens because Lamar not only had he not played in any of the pre-season, but And he said in so he had he hasn't played football a live game speed football in like nine months Yeah, because he had the injury where he missed the last uh like five six games of the year And none of the none of the start has really played uh in the pre-season for the Ravens. Um So I wonder if it is a concern uh for the Dolphins about the offense and it's it's still early It's still super early. It was one week. So I don't want to uh overreact to to either team's offense starting off sluggish um, hopefully for this week uh last week's offense for the Dolphins is a sign of things to come Um, and Raven's offense last week was just like an anomaly and it was like, all right We a little bit slow right now, but Somebody that I'm gonna be straight up. I was jealous when it happened. Um, because I'm like, man Like they go out and get that dude for two like what what anyway, Tyree kill Hmm. How was Tyree kill in that game specifically? Well, there's two ways to look at it. Um Bill Belichick did a good job. He made sure that Tyree could never take advantage of him over the top So what he basically did is said go ahead and get all the short stuff you want So that's what we did, you know, um, I think he had Eight or nine catches for 94 yards. Um, I think eight catches or something like that for 94 yards So, um, he was very productive in the game But like I said earlier, we left so much on the field, you know, you got 15 and 20 20 yard posts and in corner routes that are wide open that the ball never is on the way with a clean pocket So, um, I think he could have had an even more monstrous game But we got to be better at the quarterback position delivering the ball to these open receivers and Tyree showed a little frustration at times on the field Because of moments where he was open. Um, so Tyree is everything he's advertised to be You know, he doesn't slow down on the field. He's just dangerous His all can be and he makes life easier for the quarterback But the quarterback got to take advantage of those opportunities. Um, he's gonna be a problem for the ravens. I believe As well just depending on how y'all play because I know you just lost somebody in your secondary Um, as well if i'm not mistaken. So it's gonna be interesting to see how the ravens defeats Um, what they're gonna deploy against us because i'm actually gonna be watching some film on you guys today against the jets Just to get a good look at it on the channel with um with everybody, but Um, Tyree is everything you want in a receiver. I just I just feel like we paid 30 million dollars When you pay 30 million dollars, you want to be able to utilize all 30 million I feel like we're only gonna be able to get 20 million worth because of The quarterback situation No, that's powerful right there. Now. I remember um last year when the uh when the ravens played the the chiefs Uh, it was a lot of the same stuff. They they were not let letting Tyree get any of the deep stuff Uh, they were keeping it short short and simple. Um, and it worked. It was effective Uh, they pretty much took him out of the game Uh, he wasn't as nearly as impactful as he had been uh in previous games against the ravens Oof his big yikes, but anyway, um I uh, I like marvel stuff. I like, uh, avengers and stuff like that Uh, probably my favorite character from um from marvel is uh is thaw even though I didn't like that last movie I just uh Loving thunder, but um, so I never really been a uh a dc guy never really been into batman like that superman I know they got uh, but I know they got black adam coming out soon with the rock um, but with batman one of his uh his Enemies is uh the penguin Um, and when you think about penguins One of their biggest moves that they do the way that they walk or the way that's they sort of waddle How was he last week god? I didn't see him break that long tag and he's didn't easy start doing this little waddle And whatnot, but we don't want to see any that this week Well, how was jaylen waddle uh against those patriots? He had less yards than tyree, but he did put the touchdown on the board I thought I think you saw that slam and he that burst he put where he just jumped out on the triple coverage and took All down the field for the touchdown. Um Waddle is a beast Waddle is a piece bro. I just got to keep it a hundred this kid Like it's blasphemy for me to say something like waddles better than tyree, right? But I am telling you he's the next guy that's going to be revered like him He's going to be mentioned like him because I think he's going to eat regardless of having tyreek on the field Um, but again, I think that we also tried to force feed tyreek so much that we neglected waddle And then when we finally started to go to waddle he was eating But again once again He was the most open receiver on the field after I did my film study For the deep ball the 25 yard middle of the field wide open safety 15 yards back Linebackers 10 yards forward just sitting there wide open coming across And we never hit him I mean that should have been a game where he had 150 yards the two touchdowns man, but Again when you leave me on the bones That's why I'm excited about this game. Believe it or not Because we all know bella check is going to deploy a great defense But that secondary ain't nearly as close as what he's used to having with you know, all the mccordies and JC jackson, you know all all the guys that he usually has on that back end That's why I'm excited about this game. It's going to tell us a lot about these guys. Um, but the one thing that um Concerns me with these receivers as they are smaller is Any team that utilizes their linebackers, you know how when you play zone coverage In the receiver the slot receiver is going to run past your outside linebacker Okay, one thing that seemed a little effective at times is every time a receiver ran past that linebacker gave him the push of his life To throw him off of it Yeah, I mean no push because it's still in the five yards Push them and rerouted them in the timing between the quarterback and the receiver Just missing on some occasions So that's a little small weapon teams may try to deploy against these small guys Whenever they run zone. So if teams do it, but I know that that's something that was throwing off some of the timing On the routes, but waddle is that guy, man? He's the future in his league All right. Yeah, we're gonna see about him because uh, yeah, he remember last year He was uh, he was dogging malin Humphrey in that game. Um against the toughest. Let's see. So hopefully We won't have no repeater that um Now this before the season started, uh, there was some rumors Uh, there was some trade rumors. Um about tight end might uh, just you see Um, and they obviously didn't come to fruition Uh, sometimes I think with that and then and then the dolphins I know somebody came out and said, oh, well, we didn't have any intention of trading Mike jisiki a lot of times when coaches or owners say stuff like that I just didn't they didn't get anything that they really wanted uh for whatever the player was but who knows Uh, but how how was he? How was Mike jisiki in the game last week? Who? Who was it that bad It's not as fault though This seemed the offense for him The the man the man got one target One catch for one yard And that was a check down That should have went for 20 yards to the next level to a wide open Tyree kill coming across the middle, but we checked it down instead Um, this office isn't for him and I think they're doing him a great disservice Everybody knows Mike jisiki cannot block He cannot block But any team would love to have him as a threat Going uh a travis kehl's type threat Travis kehl's can block though, you know, but um Mike jisiki We just need to come to the realization that he's not a tight end He's a big bodied wide receiver That if you deployed in the slot is going to be deadly in this league He is amazing and i'm i mean this guy like he's supposed to be the perennial 1200 yard quote on quote tight end But in this system where we run a lot of 22 personnel, um, these tight ends are blocking heavy And they don't and you got to be able to block in the system to get on the field and have playing time The second string Durham smith got more snaps than him And this is it i'ma be honest. This is embarrassing. We franchise tagged him bro, right? You franchise tag a guy that you give one target one catch He doesn't belong in miami anymore because he doesn't fit this system They need to trade him asap not just for us, but for us we can get the most value we can now But allow him to go be great somewhere. Don't set him I mean, what is his value going to be after a franchise tag and he puts up 300 yards this year? You're doing him a disservice. He's worked so much more. He is a he is an excellent weapon bro I know 15 teams in this league their offense will be Immediately upgraded if you had mike jisiki, but he doesn't fit in this you got tyreek and water You're trying to force feed all day He doesn't fit in this and when it comes to the Ravens trust me when I tell you I know for a fact an offer was made on mike jisiki last year um And i'm in chris greer wanted to be greedy as he always does he doesn't trade players unless he's definitely gonna win the trade Baltimore's like no, we're gonna give you exactly what you're worth But he would be excellent at Baltimore, bro I'm telling you lamar lamar would have that outlet because the pass could be a little too high Little too low little too up front. He's the one handed guy. He's just phenomenal, but It's embarrassing. We're making him look bad So I I just hope that we trade him before the deadline For his sake and we might as well get an asset instead of just letting them walk next year That's that's not cool. Yeah, that makes sense. It would be best for both sides Now um the last part of the offense that I wanted to get your take on uh is how is um The dolphins offensive line. Well, how were they last week? Um, because there are no ravens against the jets They got a lot of push That that defensive line the pass rush They got a lot of pressure got got a lot of sacks too on joe flecko and we know joe flecko He's not this mobile quarterback anything like that And he certainly is not going to be able to move like a tour can move But how was that dolphins offensive line last week against new england sub par We brought in to run arms the connor williams was ranked the best center in the NFL at the week one Robert hunt played well But the issue we have on the old line Half the old line is good at pass blocking the other half is bad Half the line is good at run blocking the other half is bad We don't have that unit that are dominating in both facets. It's just sprinkles everywhere of what you can do Um, I mean our left guard man, even pf ever rated him a 33 or something like that He was just a train wreck in that game There were a lot of pressures that happened in the game But also to a holding on to the ball in some cases We try to get the ball out as quick as possible with our offense because we're about yak You know, hurry up and get it to the guy and let them do the work Let them get the yards after the catch. So And look at look at our formation. Sometimes we run a lot of two-man routes with max protection So that can also cover up the um deficiencies that um plague our offensive line Austin Jackson our right tackle who was pretty bad last year came back this summer looking pretty solid The first game back the first game this year He only got 14 snaps and he didn't look great in them and he got hurt Then the second string guy got hurt, but he's okay. So we're dealing with some depth issues and starting issues at the right tackle as well. So I think the ravens pass rush is going to give us Fits I mean, they're gonna make it real tough on us. Um sunday So I think that we're going to deploy a lot of that max protect to try to overcompensate. So the old line Fair weather. I'm not giving us anything above average. Okay. Okay now switching gears To go to the other side of the ball on defense um, is it Is it Byron Jones? Who's on the pup? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay um, so how how was this uh Dolphins defense just as a whole and specifically that secondary Okay They didn't grade out well, but after watching they all 22 they were phenomenal, bro They were fun. I was shocked I was shocked I mean the only thing you're gonna be able to take advantage of our one-on-one matchups like, you know And you got to win the 5050 ball because our guys are glued, bro Our guys are glued. I mean, I ain't seen no room out there in that secondary for mac jones Because at first everybody's going crazy that mac jones rated higher than two And mac jones had like a hundred less yards and everything, right? But when you watched it all 22 mac jones had nowhere to go But he was making the right decision. Nobody's open, but I got the one-on-one on the fade. Let me go You know, so um, I could see why he was graded higher because he didn't have no opportunities out there, bro This secondary and we got a kid kohu That was moved up from the practice squad because we had some injuries in the secondary absolutely bald out, bro Um brandon jones the safety they were deploying him at the safety at the line of scrimmage Small guy too at the outside linebacker position making plays all day. Our schematics was impressive Like and you know, I don't give I don't boost people up just to boost them up I don't give us more credit without it actually being due unless i'm trolling and being a fan Man, I was highly impressed with this defense now The the pass rush. Oh, no no terrible terrible We got we we just for three years now. We have no organic pass rush Only way we're getting at the quarterback is dialing up some type of level of blitz You send three or four. It ain't no way we're gonna touch a quarterback We are terrible with organic pass rush, but that's why we see that's why we scheme the way that we do That's why you see that zero look The zero look gives you an advantage Even even if you don't send the zero and you back it out when the ball snap, right? What it does is see this is how we deploy it. This is why quarterbacks have a hard time with it And I don't know why more teams don't do this, especially if you have the corners on the outside. They can lock down We'll put seven guys on the o-line. I mean on the d-line You don't know who's coming, right? You got five or six blockers Right, there's gonna be a free guy What our d-line is told to what everybody is told to do is take a step forward and engage Whoever isn't engaged is the free man, obviously, right? Mm-hmm You go and on every play There's three guys that say if i'm engaged back out So we'll have a free rusher every time and there's zero You see what i'm saying Okay, it looks like it looks like seven is coming but only four is gonna come But that free guy will be coming and the guys that's designated on the play to not come They are not going to come only if they're not engaged So we will always have a free rusher to the quarterback Is nothing in o-line can do about it not unless you bring seven guys to max protect There is nothing absolutely you can do about it and that guy is going to get there Probably in less than in less than a second So it's really hard to defend for i mean to to beat for quarterbacks Unless you got that big body receiver that can run those slants and box out the guy Those type of things that make plays so Um the way we deploy it is is just excellent We got a lot of guys at the at the defensive line like melvin ingram who's playing coverage They back them out in the coverage and they're playing well, so it's going to be hard for them or i'm gonna tell you now Now is that how uh melvin ingram got that recovered fumble last week for the touchdown? Was it on the exact That was no no no this wasn't a zero blitz. This was brandon jones our safety Disguise that the linebacker position outside linebacker position and right whenever um No, no, no, you're right. It was a zero So um because mac jones was looking to the right making his adjustments on how to beat the zero And as he was turned right brandon jones was creeping around to the end of the line He hiked the ball came unblocked everybody else backed out Mac looking at where he wants to go when he never even saw the guy and just got blasted And melvin ingram piss it up and go in for the touchdown. It's gonna be tough, bro But what's gonna have to happen? lemar is gonna have to Literally make sure his inside guys go on like slants and the outside guys go on go routes And at the end of the day you're gonna have to put some of them up to get us out of it Ha Can't wait man. Can't wait but but here's the scary part about it. Byron jones isn't out there Mm-hmm. That's true We do this when Byron jones and xavian howard are out there because we know that they're gonna hold it down The problem is he's not out there. We did it a little on mac jones We didn't do it as much as you would think In matter of fact, we backed out of it almost 80 percent of the time with mac jones We don't like running the zero when Byron jones isn't on the field So We'll give you the look, but we don't like running it. So we run a lot more zone So it'll be interesting because last year we ran in a lot on y'all So I want to see him and boyer has something to prove that it wasn't just florens It was me So boyer might try to do it just to see if he can prove it It's up to y'all if you can beat it. Yeah, it is and I know That's what we're gonna hear all game uh about last year and the way that that game went because it was ugly from start to finish um Last question is the better team Last question because that game last year actually uh Made me out because I didn't know who he was until the game last year and he became one of my favorite dolphins players to actually watch Um, how was javon hollywood? I knew that's who you're talking about The kids just man I mean, I don't know what to say bro. We got our safety of the future, bro We got our safety of the future that kid is everywhere But now him the pair of him and brandon jones Brandon jones was the low-key guy last year where eric row the veteran started ahead of him Now eric rows the backup and his brandon jones year Him and brandon jones are massive back. I know y'all know y'all know everything there is to know about having greek safeties Okay Bro, we got ours now Thank you. We got ours brandon jones and um javon holland They're gonna be the pair of the future holland that you already know holland is exciting holland out there making every play First game brandon jones was making more plays but holland was out there still doing his thing Both of these guys are just amazing, man Um, and remember what we went through We had mika fiss patrick Oh, yeah, yeah, i forget about that a lot We had mika fiss patrick when as a rookie He requested a trade. Yeah, so we traded him But thank god we replaced him with javon holland And i don't see the fall off. I know mika's been in the league longer and has more success, but holland should make a pro bowl this year if he um does what he's supposed to do Okay, okay. All right, and with that being said Ravens dolphins this sunday one o'clock m&t bank stadium Score predictions who you think is gonna win? I think miami will blow the ravens out Um, no, i'm so serious Um, I think it's important for us to blow the ravens out. I think that the score will be 35 to 10 I think that we we have to do everything we can to show lemar jackson why we're coming to get him next year Um, and he already knows that he's gonna be in miami next year. Um, y'all can live in denial all you want Um, the deal is already done Um, he's gonna get the guarantee every penny of the guarantee money he wants So we're gonna have to put on the show and show him man That's where I need to be so It is what it is man. So 35 team miami. We're gonna dominate especially defensively. We'll dominate And offensively, I think this will be a great game for toa to make the toa nears say told you so Then buffalo next week. We'll be right back in. Oh my gosh Well, no, baltimore is a great team. I just think that your strengths um We have a counter for in your weaknesses We're gonna attack So and I don't see The strength that you all have this year that's going to attack our weakness Outside of in the only way that we don't do good in this game is to attack of our law That's the only way if y'all can destroy him Then my prediction is blown out the water But that's the only chance you got to win is making life hard for him this weekend. The only chance Is making this offense do nothing because of him And that's gonna have to happen with your patch rush. It's the only way it's gonna happen All right, so your secondary ain't stopping your secondary ain't stopping wato and tyree from getting open out there It's not gonna happen Hey, we're gonna see one one thing that does concern me. Um, I know with malin humphrey He struggles against those those smaller quicker type why receivers Um, I mean like we just talked about he he was struggling with jaylon wato last year Uh and with marcus peters if he does play this game, this will be his first game in Over a year because he didn't play it all last year because he um, he got a training camp No, word He's gonna remember what it's like after this one Y'all go get a great player in three week three because he's gonna be reminded this week. Oh Yeah, I need to get back No, but uh, we'll see how it goes. I'm expecting it to be a lot closer I think um ravin's win by by two or three two or three points. Um, I think it's a really close stressful, uh annoying type of game Um, but I think ravin's pulled it out at the very end. Uh, but let's see how it goes should be a fun What score you got? Uh I do 25 22 like that Um 25 22 dolphins. Okay. I get it. These these games are always these ravens dolphins games always extra special to me Especially being being down here And a lot of family family that's dolphin fans. So, um, this uh This is gonna be raven a dolphin fan. Don't let him fool y'all. He a dolphin fan If my guy end up going there after this year, then I'm gonna have two teams, but we'll see. Oh, hopefully that don't happen though But we'll if Okay, keep living in delusion You know, engraving, you know, good as anybody else was about to go down Oh We're gonna see we're gonna see i'm i'm gonna need to make some calls of text to be shoddy and edc and then tell them We gotta step it up. Oh, man They're not gonna give them that guarantee money and you know it You know it. They ain't giving that man. No 200 plus guaranteed Well, we'll see but we will We will. Oh, yeah, you know dolphins. They'll do anything man. I already know they they would they would do whatever for the Y'all gonna figure it out, bro. Y'all to figure it out. I I hope so. I really do I hope so because that would just make life As a raven fan a whole lot better with lamar rather than without lamar, but we'll see We'll see commitment to more business and business But anyway, appreciate you coming on and again one more time Let everybody know what they could find you at Td fans talk home of the real Miami dolphin fans Opening lamar jackson fans up for anybody, baby.
