Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. We'll get some calls in this segment on the Red Pocket Mobile fan line. That's brought to you by your new Ultimate Cell Carrier Red Pocket Mobile. That number is always 888-808-4800. 1-0-1-9.
You heard Jerry earlier mention the Jalen Waddell trade to the Denver Broncos, which of course is going to make their offense more potent, you would imagine. But this Miami Dolphins team is really going through a massive rebuild. Of course, firing the coach, getting rid of Tua. They did sign Malik Willis. Maybe it's because they had to hit a salary cap floor last
for some reason, but they got a bunch of dead money on the cap with Tyreek Hill and others. If you're going to go full tank, go full tank. Seems like they are. Yeah, but signing Malik Willis doesn't go along with that, though. That's the thing. And maybe, I don't know, that's a smokescreen.
Maybe Jeff Halfley's like, yeah, let's go sign Malik Willis because he stinks, and then we'll get the number one overall pick. But that's what they're trying to do.
Chapter 2: What led to the Dolphins trading Jalen Waddell?
And you see... 10 NBA teams right now that aren't trying to win to get one of the top three picks in this upcoming NBA draft.
I think you're going to see many, many teams in the NFL try maybe early on to win, but then when they realize that they can't, you're going to see decisions made by management that says, all right, we're going to put our team in the best chance to lose, and they're going to want to get to the top of this draft where you're going to have more quarterbacks than you had this year.
And the Dolphins are going to be one of those teams I'll tell you what, it took Denver Broncos not that long to get out from underneath Russell Wilson and that mess with Nathaniel Hackett and everything else that was going on there. And Sean Payton is going all in right now. And they're doing that before they have to pay Bo Nix. That's what they're doing. And they are right in the mix.
They are right there as one of the top teams in the league.
Chapter 3: How are the Dolphins handling their rebuild strategy?
They have all their young stars signed, I believe. especially on defense. So I think they're going to be a really good team again this year. And when I look at the Dolphins, they have $111 million of dead cap money. So that's Tua, that's Bradley Chubb, that's Tyreek Hill. I don't know if Jalen Waddell factors into that at all with the trade. Not sure. So, I mean, it's amazing what they're doing.
They're basically tearing it all the way down. And what they have to hope is they have to hope to do what Darren Muji has done with the Jets over the last year. I mean, Darren Muji has made a lot of moves. He's made a lot of trades. He's added a lot of assets into the draft.
I mean, obviously, he's got to make the right picks, bring the right players in here, and start building this roster for whatever young quarterback that they're able to get their hands on either this year or next year. Mike McDaniel and Rob Sala were hired either the same year or a year apart in their jobs with the Jets and the Dolphins.
And it appeared that Mike McDaniel had figured it out with the Dolphins in that year where they were winning every game. They were blowing people out. And of course, he was playing great. He was in the MVP conversation. Right, and I remember having conversations where I'm like, wow, you know, the Miami Dolphins did it.
They were able to turn it around and rebuild it and get it done where the Jets are still scuffling, but now here we are again with two regime changes and then both those organizations and the AFCs completely tearing it down to the studs. Well, I mean...
I guess you'd say Buffalo did that before they got Josh Allen, and then you'd also say that New England was in the right spot to be able to add Mike Vrabel to that mix with a second-year quarterback, much like the Giants are the right team for Jackson Dart and John Harbaugh.
I mean, there's similarities all around the league that you can look at, and you can say, okay, if you can try to recreate what this one team did, you can actually go and win a Super Bowl. I mean, look what Seattle did, and look how many players Seattle's lost to free agency. Yeah, I mean, that happens a lot. And coaches, by the way. Yeah, I mean, it happens a lot.
You have success in the NFL, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that you're probably up against the cap and you made some right decisions, but you can't keep everybody, and then the coaches start getting picked off your roster. I mean, that's why you look at what some of these dynasties have done, the Patriots and the Chiefs, and how they've figured it out for so many years.
It really is amazing. It's not a common occurrence in the NFL. I mean, staying on top is... almost as hard as getting on top. Yes, and you've got to have the right mix of players and coaches. I mean, to me, the coach is the most important hire you make because he's the one that sets the tone in the locker room, and the players have got to play for him and got to respect him.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Jets' need for wins this season?
with the most draft capital going into the 2026 NFL draft in April, are all AFC teams. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. Yeah, so Miami's put themselves in a very similar situation as the Jets have put themselves in, although the Dolphins went and got a younger quarterback, the Jets getting a veteran. But the Jets need to win some football games this year.
This is the first year of Jeff Halfley and the GM down there. I mean, people are going to understand that this is going to be a bad year for them, but the Jets, we know it's not going to be a great year, but they're going to have to win some games and look like they're on the right track.
I will say that for Darren Muji to come in here, he's been here about a year now, make all these moves that he has made and set the team up for next year at this time with getting rid of all this dead cap money. The salary cap is going to go up. They are going to have a ton of opportunity to be signing next year's free agents. The question is, is the owner going to have the patience to,
to stay with this group. I think if I had to guess, if they go 4-13, the coaching staff is gone, the GM is staying.
Chapter 5: What did Kenyon Martin say about his experience on the Gilbert Arenas podcast?
That's what I would say. Given what Darren Muji has done here, I mean, come on, anybody can see what he's done and how he's done it. Now it comes down to the hard part, as you always say, is the draft and finding and picking the right players.
Yeah, and if he does, and he does what we've seen Howie Roseman do in Philadelphia and Brad Holmes do... Joe Douglas did that the year that they drafted Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson. Yeah, but then he blew it with the quarterback. You know, just absolutely swinging a miss of epic proportions. But...
If he's able to do that, Darren Muji, what those two guys I mentioned earlier have done, he's going to go down in history as one of the greatest figures in Jets history. If he's able to make the right choices, get the quarterback, and build a team through the draft with the massive amount of picks that they have. They have four picks in the top 44. 44? Four in 44? You point to the Detroit model.
Yep. That's your model that you like to point to. Well, you would always point to the Detroit model as far as Dan Campbell and changing the culture. Yes. And my whole thing with that was, is Dan Campbell as good of a coach if Brad Holmes isn't plucking five starters out of the draft three years in a row? Right. The same thing I would say about Ben Johnson going to Chicago.
Ben Johnson's a maniac. Yeah, clearly. And you really didn't know that until you saw it this year. Yeah, I was shocked when he walked into the building the first time and they put that video out on Instagram of how he was yelling and screaming in the facility. And I was like, wow, this guy's got a different personality than I ever knew. But you know what that is?
That's the energy that is required. I think Aaron Glenn tried to bring that here, but he also got into it with the media and probably was over his skis a little bit early on. You think? Yep. Brad in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. What's going on, Brad? Boys, how we doing this morning? Good, Brad. What's up? A lot of sports talk. Figured I'd change it up.
I'm curious if you've seen, Gio, the new Montoya Por Favor from this season of Spanish Temptation Island. Yeah, so I saw it thanks to KFC Barstool's Instagram where he broke it down and showed the highlights of it. So I guess It was actually on the one-year anniversary of Montoya Porfavor. And if you don't know what we're talking about, it's Temptation Island. It's the Hispanic Temptation Island.
They show a video of this guy, Montoya's girlfriend, having relations with another man in the other house. And he goes running over there screaming and yelling. Well, there was another one this year. Same exact thing. But this one, don't you have a little bit of skepticism with this one, though, Brad?
It's not nearly as good, but I will say I think it's a little bit of a work as he goes sprinting down the beach. I thought the iPad throw was a little bit too much, too. Yeah, it was a girly throw, too, Brad. Yeah, I mean, that video, as KFC had pointed out in his thing, the original Montoya Porfavor got 250 million views.
