Chapter 1: What is the significance of libraries in today's society?
Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
This episode of the Dan Levitt Art Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Let's get some real football expertise to answer some of those questions that we didn't have answers to earlier. We'll do that in a second with Dominique Foxworth. But before we do that, Roy, can you please tell me who the nuttiest fan of the week was brought to you by Hampton Farms? We've got to send Dominique some peanuts so that we're literally paying him in peanuts.
Chapter 2: How do South Floridians view their reading culture?
Yeah, congratulations to Texas Tech Tortillas. They are this week's nuttiest fan presented by Hampton Farms, the official snack of the tailgates.
Well-deserved. Been doing that for 30 years. We just noticed.
That's right. And we're celebrating it. You shouldn't throw away tortillas. I think they should be penalized for that. Not rewarded, but I'm not in charge around here. A couple of stats from the Dolphins game last night and in general. OK, last night. was the first Dolphins drive with multiple third down conversions of 10 plus yards since week eight of 2022.
And also Mike Renner of CBS Sports is going to hit Dolphin fans right in the groin region with... Tua's cap number is higher than Josh Allen's in 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of late fees being eliminated in libraries?
That's a structural flaw in your division.
He competed in the Bachelorette.
Dominique, what can you tell me, and welcome, sir, about what you saw last night and how you felt about it? Because I was arguing that's about as well as the Dolphins can play.
Yeah, I mean, we don't do moral victories, but I mean, that was a chance that you guys could have been looking at an overhaul after that game, and it feels like it was slightly encouraging. The stat about the multiple third down conversions is an interesting one because that's one thing that jumped out to me in the game is
how many drives they had that were just empty, like three and out drives relative to the Bills, who I felt like never really went three and out, which they did score in every drive. They missed the field goal. They weren't perfect either. But the Dolphins really put a ton of pressure on their not that great defense by going three and out.
So they have a long, beautiful, they had like a nine yard drive, a 16 yard drive. that ended in touchdowns. And that's like, this is good football team stuff. And Tua was excellent in certain situations. He was able to get out of the pocket and create and do like unorthodox outside of the structure type of things, the things that Chris was looking for him to do in the past.

Chapter 4: How does the conversation shift towards accountability in families?
And I was impressed with him. But then those three and out drives are really killer. And then, of course, there's
penalties and late game turnovers that kill you guys but the talent it's just a reminder the talent differential in the nfl is so minuscule that any team can find a way to compete if they put together some good drives and and don't have stupid penalties and inopportune turnovers at the end of the game dominique it's hard for us because we're watching on tv and you can't see down the field but like what kind of oh see that's where you're wrong
Amazon, baby. That Thursday night game, you watched the next gen joint. Oh, so much better. What do they do? Really? Yeah. So they have like a next, you know, when they first came on Amazon, they had a bunch of different like sidecasts like Dude Perfect and some other just trying to pull people in that was just boring and terrible. But they also had the next gen telecasts.
which is next-gen telecast, shows you the whole feel, saves me so much time. I don't have to do too many rewatches because I can see the whole feel from the beginning to the end of the game. It's great, but I still have to rewatch because last night I was teaching my son about exponents.
Chapter 5: What insights are shared about the Dolphins' recent performance?
All right, so help me out here, Dan, because I didn't know about that. Now, I'll also tell you I'm probably still not going to watch that. But anyway, I didn't know about that. So what is a defense doing that is preventing the Dolphins from even attempting anything over the middle or downfield or waddle and hill? It was screen pass after screen pass.
We were saying before you came on here, Dominique, that Tua had more passes or as many passes behind the line of scrimmage as past the line of scrimmage.
So it was a combination of things. It's... They're playing deep zones. They're forcing them to do that. They're giving extra attention to Tyreek Hill. They're only rushing four and Tua doesn't have a super strong arm. So the Dolphins blitzed a lot, but they also did some of this deep zone stuff to try to take away the big play in their tiny little windows.
And Josh Allen can rip it into those windows. And so when they are small windows to get deep downfield, if you have the arm strength and the accuracy and the anticipation, which is what Tua used to be, like the end cuts on anticipation, then you can hit it.
Chapter 6: How does the discussion on Tua's gameplay evolve?
But I think that a lot of teams have decided that the way that they want to play Tua is challenge him to be able to attack downfield. challenge his team to have a really long drive without making a mistake by forcing them to check down and try to take Tyreek Hill out of the game.
And if you're going to attack us downfield, you're going to have to squeeze it into a small zone with a quarterback who is not known for his arm strength.
But is that new? Were teams not doing that two years ago? Or is it you think it is a drop-off from Tua?
No, I think it's somewhat of a change. They ran the ball well last night, but they ran the ball better in the past, which then that would cause the guys to come up and be a little more aggressive. And also, I think the like anticipatory throws and the Tyreek Hill rolling out of these cuts into the end cuts, like I think it was slightly different. It was a little newer.
And I think combining all those things and Tua has taken more and more hits. So I think that's also part of it where they're like, we're going to make him stand in this pocket. And we assume that he doesn't want to hit. We know you don't want him to get hit.
So we're going to try to make this play take as long as possible because if you extend the play and like, I haven't talked to, to the, the bills coaching staff, but when I'm watching that tape, that's what I'm thinking is they're like,

Chapter 7: What factors contribute to the Dolphins' struggles this season?
Please, the more times we make you do this, the more likely you're going to make a mistake. So whether it's make you check down or make you try to squeeze it into a zone deep down the field or hold you or keep the coverage so long that you have to flush out of the pocket and create something on your own, either run or throw in a run, you are going to make a mistake.
And Tua actually made fewer mistakes last night than I think the Bills expected him to, but the defense couldn't hold up.
So you're saying that the Miami Dolphins, structurally, one of the flaws is, I'm guessing, you don't want Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen to extend a play, but you do want Tua to extend a play?
Yeah, I mean, I think that's what they're hoping for. They're daring him like, all right, you need a big chunk sooner or later. That's one of the things explosive plays are really important to winning. You're going to need a big chunk. Do you have the arm strength and accuracy and faith, honestly, to let it rip down a field into this tight zone multiple times a game?
If you don't, then you're gonna have to roll out to force us to distort our zone. And we know, and no one would say this publicly, but in a football game, we know what you don't want as far as injury is concerned. And I think the opponents know that no one wants Tua to get hit.
They don't want Tua running the ball, even though for whatever reason they do these zone reads where I'm like, there's no way you're actually going to let this man keep it on his own. Are you like the backside in should not respect that zone read. But I think that's what they're thinking is like, let's put Tua in a position that he's uncomfortable.

Chapter 8: What humorous anecdotes highlight the episode's themes?
And even if it's not about exposing him to more hits, it's also like he's not great in that outer structure. So like we're going to force you to do what you don't want.
Is he missing things this season? Because kind of what you're saying, I noticed the past couple games when he was the fastest to get rid of the ball and he was just throwing passes where he thought people were going to be, they were effective. This season, it seems like he has the ball longer.
I mean, numerically, he has the ball longer where people would say, great, he has a better line, but it's been less successful. Is it just coincidental? Is he missing things or are they just not there?
Yeah, so I think time to throw is one of those tricky ones that people assume means that your O-line is protecting you well, which I guess it could, but it also does mean that you are not playing within structure or you're not comfortable. So I think that it's part of the fact that we've, like, it's not a secret.
That was the big move is like, we're going to do these motions for Tyreek Hill and do these anticipatory deep end cuts. That was our offense. And that again is a shorter throw. So I think taking into account Tua's limitations with arm strength, the challenge is, and he did it, I think twice last night that he hit the outside deeper out cut throws.
They're going to challenge him to do that because with that ball in the air for that long floating, they feel like that is to their advantage because he can't rip those throws.
Well, what else here, though? Because, Dominique, when you talk about margin for error in this sport, it's a bit crazy. But can we simplify this to when Tua was throwing the ball faster, getting rid of it faster than any quarterback ever, faster than Tom Brady? He was. They had the best offense in the league statistically when he was getting rid of the ball faster than Tom Brady.
Now he's literally taking one second longer. That's the difference between best offense in the league and a team that can't throw the ball down the field.
I mean, Dan, one second is an eternity in football. Like I think it's like two and a half seconds is like the average time to throw. So like a whole second is forever. It's going to change all the dynamics. And I also think that it's a, it's, I don't, I want to say it's an oversimplification, but I think that makes it seem like that stat doesn't matter.
