Chapter 1: Why is O'Neil Cruz considered a standout player?
Tony got to stand next to a Major League Baseball player yesterday and was startled by how large O'Neal Cruz is. Where you guys been hiding this guy? I mean, Dan, standing next to him, I'm looking at him, I'm like, this dude could play power forward in the league. That's how big he is. He's massive. They have him at 248. He's not 248, by the way. He's like 260, 265. Easy.
But everybody on the Dominican team, I'm looking at him, I'm like,
Chapter 2: What predictions are made about O'Neil Cruz's future?
Damn, Sandy's huge. Holy shit. Albert Pujols is huge in a different way. Well, the reason he's been hiding is because he's in Pittsburgh. Ah, he's a pirate.
Chapter 3: What decision did the Dolphins make regarding their quarterback?
Sneaky good team this year. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. That's not true in any way, Jeremy. Couldn't make a wild card run. Really good pitching.
Chapter 4: How does Malik Willis fit into the Dolphins' plans?
Pirates are never any good. Okay, all right. Let's come back to this in game 162 and see if they're sniffing around that wild card race. Put that next to the Washington Wizards playoff run of next year. File that one away. Yeah, these predictions that you guys make that no one's going to remember because... You didn't say they were going to make the playoffs. I said they were a good team.
They're on the right direction. And go through that file and please throw away any of the Orlando Magic takes that I had from a few months ago. Dave Damoshek will hold me to it.
Chapter 5: What are the pros and cons of Malik Willis as a quarterback?
I'll tell you that. He's been talking to me about the Pittsburgh Pirates since January. I wasn't alone with those magic takes, but I'll take the fall. You weren't alone. But, Tony, you just corrected yourself on what you alleged to have said about the Wizards by saying the Wizards are a good team. They're not a good team. Oh, I said they were heading in a good direction.
No, you just said a second ago. Dan, he's early. He's not wrong.
Chapter 6: How does the Dolphins' current situation affect their future?
He's early. Thank you. You said a second ago that they were a good team. It just came out of your mouth. It wasn't a good direction. It was, I'm listening to what you say. You're not listening to what it is that you say. That might be fair. I don't think anybody else was listening to you either, from what I can tell. But I don't want to talk about the Wizards.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Dolphins' quarterback decision?
I don't think, Jeremy, I want to talk about the Pirates either. Is O'Neal Cruz named after Paul O'Neal? Because his father was a major leaguer. Roy is nodding his head vigorously. Yes, I didn't realize that you were watching Pirates baseball this way. But Roy seems to know that this is absolutely so. I was asking the question. I'm not sure it's so.
I believe I heard that on MLB The Show last year's edition of the video game. I love that.
Chapter 8: How do the Dolphins compare to other teams in the league?
You said it. As like a tidbit? No, thank you, Boog Shambi. You just retained it? It just stayed there in your head somewhere? Yeah, I thought it was interesting. And so Tony comes in and is like, where have they been hiding this guy? Meanwhile, you know his entire family history. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Over the years, as the audience has heard my increasing exasperation with how strong an instant takes have gotten, okay? And I really don't know how you can have a very strong opinion on Malik Willis, but I am seeing a great deal of very strong opinion on both sides on the Dolphins getting Malik Willis. It's hope. That's part of it. It's also encouraging that they actually have a plan.
Yesterday, 24 hours ago on this show, when I was saying I thought that Malik Willis was where it is that this was headed after they waived Tua, you had mentioned that people were talking about Arizona as his favorite destination. They have the better skill players. Tua ends up in Atlanta now. They have the better skill players. But the opinions on Malik Willis range from...
Chase Daniels saying, quote, Malik Willis is worth it all for the Dolphins. He was on his tip. The film is so much better than you think. Timing, touch, and anticipation. Mina Kimes says he's got a cannon. Incredible dual threat quarterback. Incredible is very strong. But here's Dominique Foxworth on the other side of this.
This isn't the best option out there, but of the available options, it seems like he's going to have a legitimate like chance to prove himself. Like the problem is this team feels to be obviously in a rebuild and they're hampered by like the, the big dead money on the tour contract and his, he's going to be limited. Like this team is going to be limited.
The expectations are going to be a little low for this team and the support that he enjoyed in, um, And Green Bay, when he had those few successful games over the past couple years, that's not going to be there. We're not sure that Bobby Slowik is a good offensive coordinator. We haven't seen Waddell carry this offense alone. HN, we know, is an explosive big play running back.
The offensive line has issues. The defense has issues. And we started with the offensive coordinator. You have a first-time head coach. The offensive coordinator is unproven. The more I examine this situation, it might be the best that you're going to get if you only have a small sample size like Malik Willis. Zaz, what is your opinion here?
I think they went from super boring and definitely going to be terrible next year to very interesting. Like, the Dolphin fan now every single week has something to watch, hoping that this guy is going to be their franchise quarterback and that they found a gem at a very good price. I mean, the Dolphin fan has neverālike, Tannehill was able to run a little bit, but not like thisā
The Dolphin fan has never witnessed a dual-threat quarterback. They've never had the guy who can run and make the fun, explosive plays. You had Snoop Huntley for a little bit. Okay, what are you doing there? Fiedler was sneaky. Pat White would like a word. But the other side of it for me is, man, I thought this front office was going to be a little bit patient with this rebuild.
