Mike Westhoff

He also spent a bunch of years with the Miami Dolphins from 1986 to two, through 2000.

That, of course, is the longtime special teams coach, a legend in the NFL, in Mike Westhoff.

Coach, appreciate the time as always.

How are you?

Well, why do you think that happened? Well, maybe because Jason Taylor and Trace Armstrong were rushing from the edge and everybody had to punt the damn ball in the middle of the field.

So those things like that are what you really have to do as a coach to create those situations.

Mike Westhoff here with us.

So you said you were at that joint practice.

Hockman, Crowder, and Solano, Zach Gelb in for Hawk.

Mike Westhoff coming up at, uh, 3:25 today, so 25 minutes from now, we'll chat with him.

We'll get to headlines coming up momentarily.

But first, uh, Game Day Uncensored is brought to you by invitation to Lexus Summer Sales Event.

By the way, you talked about Rodriguez.

Everyone's calling him, uh, mini Zach Thomas.

Uh, Mike Westhoff, who's gonna join us coming up in a bit, is very close with Zach Thomas.

You know, I just tried to book someone today that was closer with Zach Thomas than Channing, uh, to try to get back at him.

... who hired Chris Grier? Who hired, uh, Jeff Ireland? Who hired all of these people, Mike Tannenbaum? Who hired all these people who have brought nothing but just misery to our lives? And, and that's one person, that's Stephen Ross.

Before I, uh, reached out to Mike Westhoff to come on the show today, I did reach out to Mike Tannenbaum.

[laughs] And I said to him, and, uh, Mike has never rejected an interview request from me, I was like, "Hey Mike, Zach Gelb here and I hope all is well.

Can you join us on WQM in Miami tomorrow to talk some Dolphins and some national NFL headlines? Could do tomorrow at 2:25, 3:25, 4:25." Like, I, I wasn't looking to slam him for his time here with the Dolphins.

But yeah, man, six plays on, on Friday is not going to help a defense get better at tackling.

By the way, I brought in a lot of your old teammates, uh, this summer, and I'm filling in, with Kevin Carter and Gus Ferrada.

Today I just kind of booked Mike Westhoff, 'cause I know he would have so many Zach Thomas stories and, and you love Zach Thomas, playing, uh-

Uh, former special teams coach Mike Westhoff is going to join us.

But Solona, how you doing today on this Wednesday?

I'm doing well, Gelb.

Hey, welcome back in.

It is Hockman, Crowder, and Solana Gelban for Hawk.

Good stuff right there with Ira Winderman and, uh, Mike Westhoff gonna join us coming up at 3:25 today.

A, a week ago, Solana, the AP Top 25 poll came out, and the AP Top 25 poll has turned into a snooze fest, uh, specifically when that gal last year, uh, when it was USF playing Florida, and USF beat Florida, and she moved Florida up two spots and didn't even have USF in the top 25.

All righty, that will do it today.

Big thanks to Mike Westhoff.

Big thanks to Ira Winderman.

Big thanks to Dan Day, Solana, Crowder.

But at the end of the day- And Marlins Solana ... who hired Chris Grier? Who hired, uh, Jeff Ireland? Who hired all of these people, Mike Tannenbaum? Who hired all these people who have brought nothing but just misery to our lives? And, and that's one person, that's Stephen Ross.
