00:00But you see everybody came out with their, uh, all the reporters, they came out with
00:04their, uh, mid season grades. Oh, nothing like a list or, or a grade article to get
00:12you going. It does get me going. It does get, what do you want to hear? Like you want to,
00:17you want to get, you get a position. I can give you grades from everybody on it.
00:20Yes. We're going by position. I want to go quarterback first. Oh yeah. Let's start off
00:26there. All right. This is, uh, let's see, we got the, uh, we got to go F cause they
00:32don't have a backup. No way. Here's what we got. We got Palm beach post, Joe Shad quarterback.
00:39C minus. All right. Minus. This is Dalvin to 24. The NFL and passing yards per game and passing
00:46per play tool has played well in three or four games. Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley did not
00:52play well in their four total starts. All right. Pretty fair. I think it's fair. I think it's a
00:57fair grade. It was a fair grade. But, but, but when here's the only blowback I have on this.
01:09When you evaluate the quarterback, you're only evaluating the starter, right? When you start
01:17bringing everybody else into the room position, this position, you know, I got you,
01:22but you know where that is. This is not on tour. I, and I would say this,
01:31let's look at where all of these, this offense came from. Okay.
01:38They couldn't really find a quarterback in
01:42with Washington, although they had Kirk cousins, didn't realize they had a diesel.
01:47Then it went to Atlanta. They had a good quarterback there. Went to Superbowl.
01:52They went to San Fran, but Jimmy Garoppolo, he kept getting hurt. So they kept fluctuating up
01:57and down, up and down, up and down, up and down. Right. Now they have Brock Purdy. As long as
02:03Brock Purdy is in there, that offense is humming. And so now part of that came down to Miami.
02:09This offense is having the same problem in every stop it makes because you need a very specific
02:16quarterback to be able to run the offense. So is it a problem that you can't find a backup
02:26or is the problem you have a offense that's so unique to a select few that if somebody gets hurt,
02:35somebody gets hurt, wherever this offense is run is going to struggle.
02:39I think the thing that, uh, that gives them less of an out though, is
02:43the idea that they thought the guy they had because he was here. Like I would get that if
02:48you know, it was last year. Like Skylar has been here, but it's still again, it's still
02:56doesn't mean that he can do it because you never really know until you get no situations.
03:03Let's get a professor. Omar Kelly's great on the quarterback. He goes tongue of eye low has
03:10been decent 96.7 pass rating when healthy, but decent no longer cuts it. The offense needs big
03:17plays to return better execution in the red zone. I have waited five seasons for tongue of eye low
03:22to prove he's a clutch quarterback delivering game winning performances when the pressure mounts
03:27and only clutch performances will save this season. That being said, gives a better grade
03:32than the Palm beach post. He grades them to see, well, here's the other thing. Look at that.
03:40You know why that is a little skewed because last week he gave a game winning drive,
03:51but then he was off the field game time, game time drive. Okay. But that's still, you know,
03:58like you can change the wording and say, Oh, whenever we needed a score,
04:01he couldn't get it done. If he didn't get it done last week, you see, you understand what
04:05I'm saying? So where I'm, I'm gonna, uh, agree because there's been moments where
04:12they just didn't get it done. It's weird coming right after he actually just did it.
04:20You want to, uh, you want professor perk? Oh yeah. All right. Chris Perkins, his grade for quarterback
04:28F whoa, Burke Tua has been below average backup. Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle and Stu
04:37Puntley were even worse. They hardly gave the dolphins a chance to win tongue of Iloa who
04:42missed four games after suffering another concussion started in the two biggest games
04:46on the schedule, both against Buffalo. He had three touchdowns, three interceptions in those
04:50two games. Plus he mishandled a snap for safety in a 28, 27 loss to Arizona. Not good.
04:57Okay. A lot of good points. Wow. Hey, listen, I don't want to take, I don't want to take
05:05Burke's class. He's a tough grader. I don't know. I like, and, and, and everybody says I'm gut,
05:12I'm not gullible, but I tend to look at the things as they are right. And, and, and understand that
05:25it's easy to just put this on
05:30a guy because he's the mouthpiece of the team. But the reality is, is that
05:39there's a lot going into this. Now I'd be interested. Here's the grade I would want.
05:47I want the graded offensive line because everybody had questions about the offensive line early in
05:51the season. You want the grades for the offensive line? All right. Yeah. Because I think, I think
05:58offensively, they've probably been better than people thought. I mean, they were, I mean,
06:08they've, they've, they've, they've ended up pretty decent, but they also had some stinkers in there
06:14also had some stinkers in there too.
06:19Anyway, Palm beach posts, Joe Shad, he gives them a C plus.
06:25He says Toronto said ranked by pro football focus as the number one tackle. They rank Aaron Brewer's
06:31number two center, Austin Jackson, Liam Eikenberg, and Rob Jones are ranked 42nd and 58th of their
06:36position. Eikenberg has six penalties. Jackson has four Miami's past protection and run blocking
06:43has improved throughout the season under Butch Barry C plus. Let's see.
06:53Omar Kelly loves the offensive line. He gives them a B
06:58says outside of allowing three quarterback to sustain injuries.
07:01Fair Miami's offensive lines, exceed expectations to Ron Armstead rated the NFL's top offensive
07:06tag of the season, which proves the type of impact this 33 year old can have when healthy
07:11the interior lineman, Robert Jones, Aaron Brewer, Liam Eikenberg are blossoming before our eyes,
07:18which is proof that Butch Barry is a top-notch coach.
07:22Is Butch Barry the top-notch coach or is it just having to run Armstead?
07:26No, because like, I don't understand. They've run, they've run for 150 yards the last three
07:32games. Yeah. That's not a small feat. That's, that's elite as far as running the football.
07:40It's elite. So like, but it's very, but it is, but you would say like, if they've been good
07:48because the performance is the performance, you got to be out there. Right. But I will say they
07:51do have a lot of pen. The penalties on this team are just unbelievable. You're not good enough to
07:57overcome the stupid penalties they have. You're just not perk gives them a B plus a lot of the
08:02same reasons. Dolphins run game is number nine in the league, 133.9 yards per game.
08:08They've only allowed 20 sacks tied for 14. Fewest. It's been a masterful job by Butch
08:14Barry and offensive coordinator, Frank Smith. How about a coaching? Want me coaching grades?
08:21Oh, I would say C minus C minus froggy. I wouldn't, I wouldn't say that. I mean, like
08:31you lose enough guys. Yep. Everybody's going to get a failing grade, even though, you know,
08:38it's not as easy as, as that you lose, you lose both your pass rushers. Now it here's what sucks
08:44about this. How much of that grade has to do with what Greer did to the roster by not signing guys
08:56and not bringing certain guys back. Omar Kelly coaching grade D D Mike McDaniel has a career
09:08record of 22 and 22. That's 500 squares out there, which puts him and Joe Philbin at an identical
09:15spot and head coaching into game 45. Philbin's horrible company to keep, especially when we
09:21consider that McDaniel's teams have far more talent. McDaniel needs to create better game
09:25plans and smarter halftime adjustments and running more disciplined team for the season
09:30and his tenure to get it turned around. I agree with that. I agree with I've, I've,
09:37I've argued that point for two years, the adjustments in the second half, I will say
09:43the last two games they have, they have been competitive in the second half. They haven't
09:48gotten just run over Joe Shad. He gives them C minus. He says, despite injuries, Miami can't
09:57justify losing to Tennessee, Indianapolis, and Arizona. The need to find a way to at least win
10:01one, if not two of those games, the defense has wilted late in games, but have been okay. Overall
10:06Dolphins are six in the NFL and third down defense, only 27, the defensive takeaways.
10:11And at times Miami has been undisciplined. The Dolphins are ninth and penalty yards,
10:15despite one game, fewer than teams with more McDaniel has given his teams a chance in recent
10:22weeks with a commitment to the run, but perhaps could have done more tweaks to the off season and
10:27to the offense and the games that to a missed specialty has been poor. That's an understatement.
10:33The bottom line is two and six is not acceptable to anyone owner, general manager,
10:36coaching staff, players, or fans are challenged to the staff, find a way to go at least six and
10:40three and seven and two on the backend. At that point, a nine and eight record would be commendable.
10:45He gives them a C minus. Not terrible. Not terrible. I mean, professor Perk
10:52F F whoa, dude, Chris Perkins gives them an F perk. He's not playing around. Mike McDaniel is
11:0422 and 22 and is two and six mark. This season is extenuated by a failed plan with a number two
11:12quarterback and number three quarterback and number four quarterback. The penalty issues
11:17point to an undisciplined team. Disappointing. This is the Buffalo. The biggest games on the
11:23schedule point to further failure. Yes. Two of missed four games due to concussion,
11:28but that gets back to the failed plan, which points to McDaniel and Greer, by the way,
11:32the inability to get the ball to Hill and Waddle falls largely on McDaniel.
11:37He gets credit for running the football effectively. The last few games against Buffalo
11:40was, uh, that was McDaniel's best as a play caller overall. However,
11:44this season has been an abject failure to this point. So if you guys are taking courses,
11:53be wary of a professor perk. Now that I disagree with him,
11:58when you were in Barry, did you have that thing? I didn't go to college,
12:02but I think there's a, you can look up your professor, right? Rate, rate my professor.
12:06Did you have that? I didn't have that. I didn't have that. I didn't have that. In fact, you know,
12:10what actually one time, because my, you know, I, I, people said I had a fake major, which I
12:14didn't appreciate, you know, it's not a fake major. New broadcast is not a big major. Uh,
12:20but when I had to take real classes, like you still had to take like a science. Now I wanted
12:25to take the science of criminology, which was like basically forensic files filled up too fast.
12:31So I had to take actual biology. One time I was so hung over that I missed my first lab zero.
12:38Thankfully that guy let you drop the grade, but my, my, my, uh, my grade was looking like
12:43bam's field goal pretended just mostly that class that year until I got to the end, it was able to
12:48drop that zero. It wasn't a great first impression because you didn't show up for lab like, ah,
12:54you know, broadcast me. You don't need me here, baby. What are we doing? Dissecting a frog?
13:03Oh, girl. Hey, I wouldn't, I didn't do it either in high school.
13:12This is disgusting. Yeah. Yeah. No, never, uh, never had the chance to do not have enough
13:20for you. It'll hurt really would've hurt unless you were going, Oh, this frog looks like cookie.
13:29Hey, wake up cookie.
