Chapter 2: What controversial decision did the Dolphins coach make during the game?

430.789 - 439.56 Dan Le Batard

The best play of that game was Mariota avoiding a safety. That's the best play. That was the best play in that football game. But because we love to dissect...

0

439.54 - 464.416 Dan Le Batard

What the coaches do, I want to examine Zaslow and Greg Cody's disagreement here because what Mike McDaniel did in a tie game at the end of regulation, going for it, fourth and goal instead of kicking the field goal, which is basically what every coach would have done that we've ever watched, would have kicked. the field goal. Only two since 2000 have ever done what McDaniel did.

0

464.436 - 476.483 Dan Le Batard

McDaniel was the second. So in 25 years, McDaniel is the first to go for it in that situation. Cody says, I don't care what the analytics say. The analytics say you get a 3.5 better

0

476.463 - 494.353 Dan Le Batard

percentage chance to win the game by going for the touchdown there because even if you fail you're leaving them at the one yard line with no timeouts it's going to be very difficult for them to get out of that situation but the mathematics say that the thing that I wanted to ask you guys though about it because I thought the announcers were really bad at the end of that game really bad

0

494.333 - 502.89 Dan Le Batard

First of all, they didn't talk about A-Chan going out of bounds at the six-yard line, which he should not have done. Like, A-Chan has to stay in bounds there. Has to.

502.991 - 504.574 Mike Ryan

That was what was going to cost them the game.

504.694 - 519.725 Dan Le Batard

No, but it just—he has to know the game situation there. The announcers don't even mention it. He gets the first down, the announcers don't even mention it. But the announcers also have to know, in the modern age— That's a good assignment to get the Madrid game. A lot of money being spent to send everybody to Madrid.

519.745 - 533.554 Dan Le Batard

Those people need to know that the percentage of chance going forward is better at 3.5%. They need to tell the audience to make everyone back off. It can't just be anymore some offensive lineman in the booth saying, I think I'd show guts here and go for it. Give me what the math is.

533.534 - 541.163 Greg Cote

Well, and also give me what the trend is, which is that he's only the second guy in 25 years to take that risk, that unnecessary risk.

Chapter 3: What are the differing opinions on Mike McDaniel's coaching decisions?

971.052 - 976.642 Chris Cody

Steven Ross being one of them. Just, come on, let's get this thing over with. He got chased down by like a 350-pound line.

0

976.962 - 998.998 Mike Ryan

When he was all by himself, just throw the ball away. Here's the thing with Tua. I've never seen a more immobile quarterback. And my entire childhood was Dan Marino. Like, Marino, at least he'll step up into the pocket. Yeah, he had a quick step. He avoids the sack. I mean, Marino was a statue there. Marino is more mobile than Tua was.

0

999.018 - 1004.425 Dan Le Batard

Marino, after the Achilles tear, you have Marino being more mobile than Tua. In the big boot? Oh, the Nike Town boot.

0

1004.445 - 1034.909 Mike Ryan

Wearing the entire leg brace. All right, you know, looking like a robot. Moreno was more mobile than Tua is. Tua now, if there's any kind of pressure coming on a play, if Tua does not find a receiver on his very first and immediate read, the play is completely screwed. He has no awareness in the pocket, he has zero ability to escape anyone, and he has zero improvisational skills. He is brutal.

0

1035.169 - 1048.386 Mike Ryan

The fact that if a quarterback does not hit their very first option on a play, meaning that the play's screwed if he doesn't, and that's what you're relying on to win you games, it's impossible.

1049.007 - 1062.885 Stugatz

That was the issue with the Mike McDaniel offense, right? It was like, oh, this offense is amazing. They're scoring all these points. Everything is so fast. But they're like, oh, what if we just take away the first read? And then they just develop, oh, wait a second, Tua can't scan the field. He's too worried about getting hit. He's too worried about a money pocket.

1062.965 - 1063.986 Dan Le Batard

Well, wait a minute, wait a minute.

1063.966 - 1091.239 Dan Le Batard

minute okay uh i i will say that when they were at their healthiest and speediest he was going one two three through the reeds what's happening now with waddle as the only option okay an assortment of tight ends you've never heard of and don't want on the field with waddle as the only option what it is is waddle's my first read i don't want to go to washington eve any washington i'm going check down i'm going immediately check down i'm going to the to the bubble screen

1091.219 - 1111.479 Mike Ryan

Marty Supreme, Christmas Day, Marty Supreme, Christmas Day, Marty Supreme, Christmas Day, Marty Supreme, Christmas Day. You know what I'm going to be doing on Christmas Day, and it's going to be watching Marty Supreme because I didn't even need to know that critics were calling Marty Supreme a full throttle masterpiece and the best movie of the year. I already knew that was going to be the case.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts analyze the Dolphins' fourth down decision-making?

1266.952 - 1272.858 Dan Le Batard

You can see it. Mother effing on it. Can we bother? Are we bothering you right now? Turn on your microphone, Greg.

0

1272.878 - 1279.104 Greg Cote

My microphone's on. Stugatz. Paint the scene. Paint the scene is I got to go to work. Good night.

0

1279.225 - 1282.568 Unknown

This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.

0

1285.501 - 1307.873 Dan Le Batard

But since you mentioned Dan Marino, and I can't believe that Zaz is saying that Tua is less mobile than Dan Marino. I can't believe I'm right. I can't believe that you're saying he's less mobile than Bernie Kosar. Bernie Kosar now. I can't believe that you're saying that Tua is lacking that kind of mobility. I think it's an exaggeration.

0

1307.893 - 1316.326 Dan Le Batard

But when you talk about Dan Marino, they brought him out in Madrid. Oh, did they? He has some trouble with the chant.

Chapter 5: What insights are shared about the University of Miami's football performance?

1316.706 - 1323.916 Dan Le Batard

Chris Cody is alleging that Dan Marino has never done or heard a simple, let's go Dolphins.

0

1339.378 - 1340.119

Let's go Dolphins. Let's go Dolphins.

0

1340.14 - 1340.5 Unknown

Let's go Dolphins.

0

1342.69 - 1346.896 Mike Ryan

Good on the crowd. They stayed with him, but it's just so awkward.

0

1346.916 - 1347.978 Greg Cote

The ones who weren't booing.

1348.058 - 1350.342 Mike Ryan

Kind of like when he did the drum at the Panther.

1350.382 - 1366.786 Greg Cote

He's just odd. Well, he's bad in public. Yeah, he does not leave the league in public appearances. There was a shot of him next to Zach Thomas doing the whole ceremonial coin flip thing. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere on the face of the earth besides where he was.

1366.806 - 1376.541 Dan Le Batard

You guys... You guys are saying the crowd was good. That's a crowd that doesn't speak English.

1376.561 - 1387.621 Mike Ryan

And that's just the fans that travel. Maybe he figures the Let's Go Dolphins chant is kind of outdated. He's trying to switch it up a little bit. That's triggering.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts view the implications of Miami's recent games?

1978.303 - 1999.502 Unknown

Football. Stugatz. Football. This is the Don Levitar Show with the Stugats.

0

2010.653 - 2020.069 Dan Le Batard

This is a headline from The Athletic, and I say it only to enrage Mike Ryan. Notre Dame closing in. Miami shut out?

0

2020.37 - 2042.045 Chris Cody

Yeah, this is bullshit. It's bullshit. And the charmed existence of a Notre Dame fan right now is insane to me. Okay, Miami's doing what the committee asked, be more consistent, look better on offense. For all the talk about offense, Miami's offense is a lot better than some of the teams that surround them.

0

2042.065 - 2062.898 Chris Cody

In fact, Miami, I think statistically right now, is in line to have its second best offense over the last 20 years. Miami looked thoroughly dominant. on Saturday. You could say that's who Miami is. They had a mid-season hiccup. That's who Miami is. They're closing the season in style. NC State didn't cross the 50 until the fourth quarter. And they have a good offense.

0

2062.918 - 2066.502 Chris Cody

Yes, the ACC's leading rusher had negative two yards against Miami.

2066.522 - 2068.544 Mike Ryan

And NC State beat Georgia Tech last week.

2068.564 - 2074.37 Greg Cote

Yes, and they beat Georgia Tech and Virginia. Yeah. North Carolina State had been the ACC killer.

2074.39 - 2093.775 Chris Cody

Yeah, they beat Georgia Tech two weeks ago. That was NC State coming off a bye. NC State's got talent on offense. I like their quarterback. Their quarterback does have a live arm. He looked like he was floating balls because Miami's defense was playing that fast. Miami's defense is unbelievable. But I realize this is bullshit over the weekend.

2094.356 - 2117.589 Chris Cody

Why am I living and dying watching Clemson run fullback dives, fumbling at the goal line twice, not enjoying my Friday night while Notre Dame just gets to beat up on Navy? and Pitt with coaches saying, nah, this game doesn't matter. Are we really going to entertain this? Are we really going to take this down the line? I know what you're doing. You're putting Vanderbilt there.

Chapter 7: What are the hosts' thoughts on Dan Marino's public appearances?

2727.656 - 2736.474 Dan Le Batard

Not a nice ass, like an old man's ass. I worked on that all weekend. More wrinkles. Sending it back.

0

2737.495 - 2743.466 Chris Cody

No one said these look like a pair of testicles. No one said you add more wrinkles, it looks like a ball sack. No one said that.

0

2744.047 - 2746.872 Dan Le Batard

I was working on it very hard all weekend. Let's see the original.

0

2747.273 - 2753.604 Mike Ryan

Oh, wow. That is not what we want right there. Could have used more wrinkles. That's what mine looks like. Hey, yo.

0

2754.125 - 2768.331 Dan Le Batard

That is not what your ass looks like. Dude, good for you. Zazzlo, Zazzlo, I'm assuming that when you walk nude through your house wearing sneakers or flip-flops, that that is not what your ass looks like.

2768.351 - 2785.765 Mike Ryan

I bet it looks more like the nice one than the old one. Dan nailed it, though. That is how I walk through my house, naked, but just with my sneakers on. Zazzlo. Look how pleased he is with himself. It had to be said. It had to be said. Good one. Never heard it.

2787.829 - 2795.601 Dan Le Batard

Thank you. Have you been hearing that one since childhood? We've got Nick Wright up next. He's got to be hurting. The Chiefs have a worse record.

2795.622 - 2798.306 Mike Ryan

Oh, he's got to be hurting? Jeremy embarrassed us yesterday.

2798.326 - 2821.739 Dan Le Batard

The Chiefs have a worse record than the Carolina Panthers, whose season is over, by the way, as I've been saying all season. For the second time. Bryce Young threw for 448 yards yesterday, left the field twice in a way that I thought he had career-ending injury. But twice, twice left the field, comes back out. What a group of losers they have in Atlanta, man. They stink.
