a deal done yesterday blinded by my quite well, baby headed to
South Florida as the backup to
to talk about law. I do need to say this though, Chris because
I know you love the move
but you you and I both agreed that they need. Somebody
durable
and durable is something. I would not attach to my quite
every time he gets a chance to play. What happens? Yeah. He's
gonna rank E. I hear ya. He's
You know, he got he got he got an old rib injury from
the bills. Well that's one of the various injuries to a Tonka by
Louis had so I
don't know that this is the level of durability. Maybe they
were hoping for II mean I hear you there. That's certainly
a fair question, you know? And now
this offense and I think where this offense is and
the problems they give you and all that, you know, maybe is going
to be able to protect the quarterback a little bit better
than he was, you know, last year with the Jets where they
were beat up on the offensive line and had issues when
He was taken over.
But yeah, it's two years in a row, right?
It's last year. It's the year before that on the Thursday
night football game against the Indianapolis Colts where he
finally knows getting his, what his second start or something
along those lines, and he got hurt in that game and had it
come out.
So I hear you but damn, it is a good signing it is, but
I worry, I mean, I joke and always say it. It's you don't
want mr. Glass to be backing up mr. Glass,
right. And they had that in Teddy Bridgewater. Now my quite
yet has not shown to be the most durable but damn, he's one
of the better backups and football, we know
that, you know, he's a borderline Bridge starter type
quarterback, really awesome back up. And you know what's
WFAN in the Jets fans going to do without my quite
I mean he was the future. Somebody else
know he was the future. He was the the Savior. What are they
gonna do now to and on and my quite WFAN? And the Miami,
South, the South, you know, Florida Sports scene.
Coming together watch out
what you know you're right if Mike White gets a chance to
play if he gets a chance to Captivate the lock. Watch out
wearing my Kevin white T-shirt, you're going to have an issue
to a non you're on. Notice to an on
here. How about this though?
How would you have felt if
the Dolphins it signed Sam Donald instead of Mike White?
I'm not going to say ìwell better. I don't know if I would
have felt no a whole lot different there. I don't think,
I don't think I would have maybe. I think there's more
potential
for Sam Donald with high-end talent. But I think, you know,
from what I've seen by quite as shown, he can play. I don't
know if there's a great difference there. No, this is
a much
a much needed type of move. By the Miami Dolphins. You got to
protect your football team. You got to protect against UVA and
the injury history right there. Really damn good.
Could we know that we were just talking a second ago? I mean
it's like Super Bowl type, Super Bowl roster.
It's a team that you sit there and go. I'm think of to will
played in that wild-card game, they would have beat the bills,
they had them that day. It's just they couldn't get any
offense going together.
They're getting it together there. So I think the move is
smart. But the durability thing I think is certainly probably
the one - or fair thing to question here in that move.
Mike.
Yeah,
and look, they stopped Skylar Thompson who they like I just
don't think that he's,
he's proven that he can be the number two, right? And it may
be my quite for a year and then Skylar Thompson in 2024.
Mike White's contract is structured such that it really
is a one-year deal with an option. For the second year,
once you dig into the details, you really see what these deals
are worth. He can't double his money in incentives, based on
regular season and postseason achievement but he would have
to play a lot to get to that point.
But again It gives them the protection,
they're looking for. What about you as they embark on
with the Mike whiter? The Sam Darlin thing. You know, what's
your, what was your view on that? That question? You asked
me? I thought that was a good question. Well,
well, because if Kyle Shanahan loves Sam Donald, I would say
Mike McDaniel loves him too. He can run that offense, he's
mobile. He's a guy that can do the things that
that maybe that run based scheme,
would call upon a quarterback to do.
And I just, you know, say I'm Donald has had injuries.
I mean, look, a lot of quarterbacks have in He's well
when you're done some bad things in the habitable,
you know, right? It's just critical to find somebody
that you can count on
that. You know you can count on to stay on the field
if to a Tonka by lower Camp play. But
it's usually these that's one of the traits of an established
starter is finding a way to stay on the field. One of
the reasons the guys are back up is because he hasn't been
available
to his team and that is one of the factors that contributes to
him, not being a starter. So bottom line, Sam, darling. And
my quite both.
Enter the backup phase of their careers, but Donald has
a little bit more of an opening because who the hell knows
what's going to happen in San Francisco? So from the player's
perspective, it's better for Donald to be in San Francisco.
He's clearly number two,
if he's in Miami Mike, White is clearly number two
behind to otago by Laura, but he's the insurance policy in
the event that they need him. Just don't get to Schmitt with
