Mark Duper

I'll come back and tell you Duper.

You want to hear a Mark Duper story when I come back?

Because these stories are wild.

I'm just

So I'm traveling with the team.

and uh as he knew i was going to be coming back to play and so after a few first few weeks of being in time out for for the coach he thought i was okay to be around the guys again on the road and wanted to travel and sometimes he didn't mind you staying home and but if he thought you might be a little wild or you know that it didn't bother you then he'd want you to travel with the team and be involved in everything so i'm sitting back there in the And the game's about ready to start.

And so Mark Duper – I know Dupe won't care if I tell this story.

So Dupe goes out to warm up.

The play where...

the Dolphins ran it with whatever it was, Nat Moore and Mark Duper or Tony Nathan or whatever that famous play was.

That's when it was instilled in me that it was called hook and ladder.

And I was told that it was related to the firefighting equipment, but saying, no, it's a button hook followed by a lateral that has over time evolved in both directions from two, two hook and lateral to hook and ladder.

Mar- Mark Clayton was an eighth round pick.

Mark Duper was a second round pick.

Uh, Tyreek Hill was a sixth round pick.

You can get good wide receiver outside of the first round, but sure, take Jeremiah Smith first overall.

Mm-hmm.

Never Mark, never, never once.

So you never saw that other version of it.

Now he's really pulled back the curtain, and he's doing podcasts, and he's a guy.

He didn't have help around him

...

even though you had, yeah, Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, no help whatsoever.

Uh, anyway, as a person, the few instances that I've ever met him, grade A jerk, which is unfortunate.

The, the Killer Bs were together for a long time together.

Mark Duper, Mark Clayton and Marino and those guys together for a long time together.

So when you start changing systems, don't expect to get better results just because you changed coordinator or play caller, whatever it might be, because what's gonna happen is players get better when they become more familiar and more comfortable in a system.

The systems are, are huge.

The killer bees were together for a long time together.

Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, Marino, and those guys together for a long time together.

I think my favorite game to, NFL game to watch, uh, b- because of those '72 Dolphins and how much that season had, had meant to my dad and so many others, watching that and then seeing on that Monday Night Football game at the Orange Bowl, Marino and the Dolphins just torch that, uh, Bears defense.

Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, uh, Marino just at his pinpoint best, and they, they shredded that Bears defense that night.

Now, well, as it, as it turns out, I think that was the same week they had done the Super Bowl Shuffle, which the balls on these guys-

Yeah
