00:00um yahoo sports frank schwab at yahoo sports he did quarter season grades for nfl teams and he
00:08writes the list of teams that feel like legitimate super bowl contenders is very small considering
00:14we're only about a quarter of the way through the season the bills are one in the afc and maybe
00:20someone from the afc west is too and perhaps you believe in the colts or the jaguars the nfc is a
00:27little deeper but everyone has taken at least one bad loss after only five weeks teams like the eagles
00:33lions packers and rams are very good but consistency hasn't been a strong suit here's your grades for the
00:40afc east buffalo bills an a i probably don't need to read you what uh what his reasoning is new england
00:50patriots a b and he says the difference between weeks one and five is dramatic and that's what
00:59you want to see obviously is that kind of growth uh the miami dolphins get a d yes he writes at least
01:07the dolphins aren't winless they beat the woebegone jets everything else hasn't looked great it's
01:13unlikely to get better with tyree kill out for the season and the run defense looking like it cannot
01:19be fixed the dolphins aren't the worst team in the nfl but it's close and head coach mike mcdaniel
01:26is certainly on the hot seat and then of course you've got the new york jets who get an f only one
01:33team doesn't have a win the jets looked okay in week one barely losing to the steelers it has been
01:39rough ever since most of their games haven't been competitive they make way too many mistakes for a
01:45team that is already at a talent disadvantage it's way too early to start seriously worrying about
01:51aaron glenn as a new head coach but nothing has looked good for the jets yet i agree with that
01:58totally and the dolphins to knock them up from an f they just beat an f so they won the toilet bowl
02:06pretty much yeah that's it's it's it's it's rough right now in miami i don't know where you go from
02:14there because he even says they're a run defense that looks like it cannot be fixed well if you can't
02:20fix that run defense then you're done for the sea i mean you're literally done if you're gonna have
02:27teams push you six seven eight yards off the line of scrimmage all season long you don't have a chance to
02:35do anything players are scheme you're not bringing in you're not bringing in keith trailer you're not
02:42going to get a uh calais campbell you're not getting a chris jones right now so personnel set
02:48scheme even anthony weaver he wants to stop the run he cannot load the box because our corners can't
02:56be we see what jack jones did when he when he has to do one-on-one man coverage on the outside he can't
03:00do it so do do you want to i'll tell you this if we stop the run if we literally load up to stop the
03:06run they're gonna have 300 yards passing almost pick your poison but crowder i do think there is
03:14room in my opinion for growth from kenneth grant from jordan phillips from guys you expected to be
03:22ready push six yards instead of right but you would agree right like here's my rationale because people
03:29are already out on kenneth grant and look i'm not saying i'm happy with this production there's
03:33probably a case to be made there was somebody better that the dolphins could have selected to
03:37help them now but clearly these were projects that they drafted with sabat inaya included on the other
03:43side of the football last year chop robinson through eight weeks crowder what would we have graded him
03:48not an a not a b not a c but the last eight weeks of the season you probably grade the dolphins draft
03:55an a a b at the very least a b minus i think there's still room for that from kenneth grant which
04:00helps the run defense does it make the dolphins defense good no but at the very least you're not
04:06embarrassing yourself week in week out chop robinson didn't have to play because we had
04:11phillips and chubb until he had to play though phillips and chubb didn't play last year and phillips
04:18came back and by week five was out with an injury and they forced him to play he had to play and top
04:24still can't set the edge he's not a big dude he's a pass rusher that's what he did that's what he did
04:28at penn state you don't the first round is not for development honestly i'm with you on development
04:34the first round is not for development first rounders come in and unless you're a really good
04:39playoff team already and you can take a flyer on someone in the first round that you can see
04:44yourself developing over the next couple of seasons but not for a team that was in the dolphin
04:49situation it's another knock on chris greer whether or not it's fair you had three first
04:54round picks back in 2020 and two of the three outside of tua were like projects with austin
05:00jackson who ended up not working out as a left tackle you had to swing them over to right tackle
05:05and well it's year six of aj and you're still kind of like bro this guy's never available
05:10he's not necessarily great when he's out there and then noegbenogony was another project
05:15like they took two swings in the first round when they didn't need to they needed to go get guys
05:21that could help them immediately and that seems to be a trend with chris greer he likes projects
05:27yeah it's always guys that you say who is that again you have to go look him up i don't want to
05:31look him up give me some all americans give me the all americans they were the best in college let
05:36me see what they can do don't don't try to be too sneaky and oh i'm smarter than y'all seems like
05:41they try to get smarter than people and the guys can't play kenneth grant gets rude if if two guys
05:47touch him which is going to happen every play in the nfl he can't hold his ground that's his job he's
05:52supposed to hold his ground he doesn't have to make a tackle just hold up two so your linebackers get
05:57over top he can't do that at this current moment to your point solana can he become you know haloti
06:03nada maybe but i don't see it right now chris greer with the first round draft picks is like me
06:10on the hard rock bet app i don't want uh minus 110 you know pick a side i want to hit a three leg
06:18parlay and get a big payday i'm not even kidding you that's kind of the way like i think he looks at
06:24it like oh well anyone can take that guy it's not going to move the needle too much but he's going to
06:30do his job and uh he he goes for the the parlay tries to tries to hit the teaser anyway we'll get some
06:38winners hopefully in the next hour rob pizzola is going to join us in fact before we take a break
06:43here let me give away these uh comedy tickets and we've got a pair every day this week so we'll have
06:47one more pair tomorrow if you don't win today comedian trevor wallace is coming to the broward
06:54center october 17th what caller number do you want to take for these uh tickets cc
07:01uh 15 15 caller number 15 305-567-0560 305-567-0560 because because the because the project thing
07:16abdul carter is one of the top pass rushers right now in the nfl
07:20ikbuka have you seen what that the guy in tampa bay is doing that young boy crazy he's he is
07:27ridiculously good tyler warren the guy from penn state we could have drafted as a tight end
07:32he's going crazy oh my god i told you remember he was like uh jefferson on fast times at ridgemont
07:38high was it jefferson jefferson warren warren warren warren warren ashton genti travis hunter's
07:45going crazy you see that catch he made the other night omari hampton was starting for the chargers
07:49and balling till he got hurt jackson darts now starting and he went after like solana there's no
07:55this shouldn't be a project in the first round that barry jackson we talked about it on monday
08:01he released that article where he went through all of the draft picks chris greer traded up for
08:06and how many times he's failed and look to be fair you could probably do that with a lot of teams
08:11right like look they should have drafted this guy instead of this guy and they should have drafted
08:15this guy instead of this guy but barry outlines like every single one and how they all failed and
08:22he's like look look at the value you could have had here rather than trading up and costing yourself
08:27draft capital for a guy in savai naya that isn't producing for you and look here where instead of
08:33trading up you could have taken this guy who's producing for this team instead of a guy you traded
08:37up for and hasn't produced i.e liam eikenberg so there's there's just there's a lot of examples with
08:44chris greer and there's a lot of guys he drafts that either don't ever make an impact cam smith
08:50noah igbenogany tanner connor channing tyndall and there's guys that were drafted right around
08:58that same area who at the very least are producing for their nfl teams like bro i mean you know we're
09:05doing it again but yeah i mean this is a great said during your nba quiz you didn't want to do this
09:09again sorry you got you crowder ramp me up but yeah i mean chris greer misses a lot bro it misses a lot
09:15you amp me up talking about a project maybe kenneth grant will make a tackle week 16 that's not what
09:21you draft a guy high for that's not what i'm saying i just all right we got to take a break
09:25we'll be better it'll be better be hard to be worse four o'clock hour is coming up we'll get
09:32headlines and rob bizola will join us from canada with some winners hopefully for tonight's nfl
09:38and the panthers game and the dolphins game on sunday so do not go anywhere
09:43you
