This is the Brian Kilmeade Show. Fourth and four. Pressure. Tua steps up. He's gonna run for the first down. And takes a shot at the six-yard line. Hamlin hit him. And Tua down. Mmm.
Picked up the first, split the seam, but pays the price. So that is Tua Tugoviola. And you know he's the Miami Dolphins outstanding quarterback. He's signed a huge long-term deal, despite having four concussions. And after last year, he played concussion-free. He played well, obviously.
The Dolphins made the playoffs. And then last night, took a shot from, of all people, Tamar Hamlin on Thursday Night Football and got knocked out of the game. Now he plays in 10 days. Question is, should he and will he be playing again this year?
Or how long should he be out, being that he's in now concussion protocol? Let's bring one of the newest members of the Fox family with Outkick.com, Ricky Cobb. Host of the Ricky Cobb Show on Outkick Mondays through Fridays beginning at 11 a.m. Ricky, welcome. Congratulations on the job and coming over here. Hey, good morning, Brian. It's a pleasure to be here.
Thank you so much. I'm proud to be a part of the Outkick and Fox family. Yeah, so what's your thoughts about what happened last night when you heard Al Michaels on the call? I think it's deeply concerning. I had Brett Favre on my show last week, and he was talking about the concussions that he suffered during his career. Now, Brett never had anything like what we've seen now a couple of times from Tua. But Brett believes that he's had over a thousand concussions in his life because an expert told him that every time you see stars, you have experienced brain trauma. So it doesn't have to be something nearly this dramatic. But when you see something this dramatic and it looks like a pattern, I think this kid really needs to start thinking about his future in a very thoughtful way.
Interesting. Here's what Rob Gronkowski just told us on Fox and Friends Cut 40. And I think he should be back within the next, I would say, five weeks because he signed a $225 million deal. So it was good to see him walk off the field, let him heal, let him go through the protocol, and then it's their starting quarterback. They need him.
That's the Rob Gronkowski. Rob said, I think I've had just as many. He probably has.
He probably has. I just think at a certain point, obviously, Tua is a young guy. He's at the peak of his game.
He's become one of the upper tier quarterbacks in the NFL. Nobody wants to walk away from that. But you've got to think about your future. You've got to think about your family.
You've got to think about what you want your life to look like when you're 50 years old. And I know that that's difficult to do when you're a young man and when you are in such a celebrated position as being an NFL quarterback. But I think it's becoming very, very concerning for him. Wow. Very interesting.
So it's going to be the hot topic over the weekend. You have some people like Dez Bryant, former wide receiver, with the Cowboys saying, no way, call it a career. Tony Gonzalez, the same thing. So we'll see what happens. I mean, it's he's going to get paid regardless, so he's not going to be homeless, but it will destroy the Dolphins if he drops out. The other thing that just talking football, Tom Brady's first week in the booth.
What do you think? I think the potential is clearly there. If people thought that he was going to come out of the gate week one and he was going to be the goat of color men in NFL history. I don't think that's a realistic expectation, but by any means, obviously, Tom Brady is a good talker. There's few, if any, who are better equipped to be able to break down NFL action for fans. I think if he commits himself to it, if this is something that he decides that he wants to do on a long term basis, Tom Brady's going to be one of the better announcers that we've seen. But it's it's a growth process for him, and I think it will take him a little while to grow into the role.
Yeah, I tell you what, I thought it was real good. And the thing is, they said, you know, is he going to be critical? That's going to be the tough part when he sees mistakes, maybe lazy mistakes that people are making guys that he knows is going to say, well, that was a terrible pass. I don't know what he was thinking there. You know, you staring that receiver right down.
And if I'm from the coach, I think it's time to make a move with this quarterback. That's tough because he knows it's how the position is. So and I you know, I don't I don't expect him to.
I thought he was fine. You know, and I think that people that he's going to be great right away have little respect for how hard that job is. It is really hard to speak concisely, quickly with the pace of the game in real time. So I have a lot of respect for play by play and color. It's so much different than just knowing the game. There is a learning curve and you're absolutely right to think that he's going to walk into that world and he's immediately going to be as elite as a broadcaster, as we know that he was as a quarterback. It's just not realistic.
But I agree with you. It was a perfectly solid debut. I think he has a high floor and a high ceiling as an announcer. And one thing we know about Tom Brady, Brian, is when he commits himself to something, he commits himself to something. So if this is what he decides he really wants to do over the course of the next decade or couple of decades, I think he's he's going to end up being a very elite announcer. You know, I think it's going to be interesting if they're going to break and allow him to go to these meetings. Evidently, since he wants to be he's aspiring to be part owner of the Raiders, all these teams are saying, I don't want to sit him in our production meeting. So when you get all that great information from the quarterbacks and the coaches, they feel open talking to you as you tell me, I'm going to if you know, I'm going to be with the Raiders soon. I don't blame them for not even always Tom Brady. I don't blame them for not letting them in the production meetings, but that will hurt him.
That's the thing that concerns me the most, actually, of everything that I've heard is you can't do everything. Tom Brady obviously has a huge appetite for doing a lot of things, and sometimes you have to decide what the priority is. And I think if he's going to maximize his ability as an announcer, he needs to be able to get to a point where he's comfortable being critical, as you alluded to. And he needs to be in a position where he can go to these meetings and he can do the prep work that all of his peers are doing. And he's handicapping himself if he tries to have one foot in ownership and one foot in announcing.
And I think that's potentially the biggest pitfall that he faces. I want you to hear this is Tyreek Hill pulled over. Everybody knows by now, I think the outstanding wide receiver with the Dolphins pulled over in his McLaren automobile that opens up like a DeLorean. That's what the door does.
You know, the door goes way up, but he's en route to the game. He gets pulled over at first. He said, you know, the cops are bad and all this stuff.
But then he admitted he could have handled it better. Listen to this exchange. Keep your window down. Keep your window down. I'm going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of the car right now.
We're not playing this game. Get out. Get out.
Get out. So Dolphins into pulling over. They end up putting another guy in cuffs and threatening to put another guy in cuffs. They have his team. And right now he's on leave. So Tyreek Hill is demanding this cop be fired.
Where does this go, Ricky Cobb? I I'll say the same thing that I said while we were waiting for the body cam footage. Everybody was jumping to conclusions. I said, let's wait. Let's let's get the facts. We saw the body cam footage.
I think there's some blame to go around here. Certainly Tyreek Hill, if he had done what any of us. Had been taught to do and what we know to do when a cop pulls us over, which is roll down the window, put your hands on the steering wheel, cooperate.
There's a ninety nine point nine percent chance that that is just a routine traffic stop. And Tyreek was not honest about his actions and his initial comments that he made before we had access to this footage. I do think that the cops escalated the situation beyond perhaps where it needed to go. I put a little blame on both sides. But Tyreek Hill had done what I think would have been the wise thing to do. He gets a ticket and none of us hear anything about this.
And life goes on. I don't want to see the cop fired. Yeah, I want to see the guy fired.
But I did know this. The cop that was leading this was a lot more hyper than the other cops. The other cops were very calm. So law enforcement officials, I think you work with the guy, you don't fire the guy.
You can't just go call for the firing of people. And I think it would have been I liked the way he handled it up until that. And then he admitted he was wrong.
He said I could have handled it better. But the other thing is, and it's not an excuse, it's just an observation. When you get a football player before the game, a lot of times they're like, you never talk to a boxer before a fight. For the most part, they're in that war mindset. So that's the, in his mindset, he's in, I'm going to war.
So it's not an excuse, but it also is a mindset that people are familiar with who play football. Ricky, what's your show like? What's your approach with your show? The approach with the show is to try to cover the things that that people care about. We talk about what's going on.
We've talked about certainly Tyreek this week covering that. But we want to have fun. A lot of great interview guests. We I try to I try to walk the line between smart and serious and silly and irreverent.
And I hope that the show checks a lot of those boxes, Brian. I also know you did an interview with one of my favorite people, David Wells. You were talking pitching, big picture. That guy was a horse, an innings horse. Even years when he was 10 and 10, he just never came out of the game.
This is him talking to you about what's changed. We played a lot of long toss. We played catch every day. To me, I think that all those years of playing long toss, you know what got me through those long seasons. Some of my ex teammates now who are involved in the game, they they don't do that anymore. They don't play long toss.
They don't do anything. They work on the analytics of the game zones that they got to pitch in. Well, we had to pitch in zones all the time. We had to figure guys out.
And now they got everything on the silver platter form these days. To me, it's just a matter of mindset going out there and execute. There's really no pressure really to go past six innings, right?
In this day and age, there really isn't. And I was reading where, and I don't know the veracity of this, but that there's been some discussion behind closed doors of major league baseball thinking about trying to make it a minimum of six innings unless you give up a certain number of runs. I think they said four earned runs was what was being floated. Or, of course, if you're if you're injured, the starting pitch pitching position has been so devalued, Brian, over the course of the of the last decade. And there's been a move towards that, obviously, for a long time that baseball complete games have almost evaporated.
Blake Smell threw a no hitter not long ago, had two Cy Young awards, Brian, before he had his first major league complete game. Amazing. That would have been absolutely unthinkable when we were growing up. Right.
I mean, sometimes, I mean, we just people used to grind it out. And then there'll be this thing called stoppers and Bruce Suter. And you'd have once one of these that became a new thing when I started following baseball. Who's the stopper? Who's your stopper? Rich Gostin, that's your stopper. Now it's a who's your middle reliever. And now, like the middle relievers are the most under most valued for baseball insiders, but undervalued by by fans.
But they're the ones. There's the bridge to your fire baller. And if you don't have a good bullpen, you're not going to win a series because you just can't expect more than six innings from great starters. Ricky Cobb, it's a great interview, great perspective. And best of luck on our kick. Hey, Brian, thank you so much, my friend. I really appreciate it.
