00:00oh yeah my first twitter beef oh man this is your first twitter beef i think your first

00:05twitter beef i believe was with eli apple but that don't count you had twitter beef with the

00:10bg's no no on so so vlad so the somebody hit me up on twitter because you know i did the thing in

00:20cleveland and they asked a lot about shadoor sanders and basically what i said is this

00:26it's coach's job to put the best players on the field he has a responsibility not only

00:33to the organization but to the other 52 men on that team right if you put somebody on the field

00:39and the players think that the other guy is better then you have a chance of losing your team sure

00:45simple as that right i said so the fact that shadoor is not playing he's i would just assume and i just

00:55made it the point that he's not ready because you know when the team's doing that bad if you pull

01:02somebody to the side and one of the guys say he was in the locker room they only say a good thing i say

01:07but when if you pull them over to the side and then then that's when you get them unnamed sources

01:12has anybody said should do it should be playing he said no i said okay it's okay right it's okay

01:20just because the guy's not playing his rookie year does not mean he's gonna be a garbage pro

01:25why can't anybody get over that so then and obviously the organization like they picked

01:31dylan gabriel first right like that there is gonna be elements of they're gonna trust their

01:35evaluation on now no you know there's been some situations where a guy just stood out

01:39yeah sure you know mr unlimited obviously something weird happened because of how much he felt like

01:45there's he but but here's the thing did he fall because nope like people were saying that

01:54but nobody was really talking about shadoor as far as teams it was only the people

02:02you know that were projecting i didn't hear one person say dylan gabriel was gonna get no

02:08i wait but i didn't hear one person no organization saying that shadoor was gonna be a top five pick

02:17like everybody was saying that about cam people were saying that about cam and there was certainly

02:23talk that he was going to slip but but even the quarterbacks he went after i don't think people

02:27people did not anticipate that and there also does appear to be something in the realm of like

02:32hey his draft process went really bad but again all those reasons we don't know about well i don't

02:38know about all that i don't know about the conversation here's what i do know and when

02:41we talked about this last year he said who you think's better shadoor or cam i said here's the

02:46problem i don't i've never seen shadoor make on time throws drop back throw a guy to a spot

02:53throw a guy open put his foot down zip it to the you know the deep outer or whatever i've never seen

03:00that i've seen cam do it so my preference would be cam in all fairness though i've seen more cam

03:06than shadoor right so then we get to the browns draft him everybody has a fit on when he's getting

03:13drafted or whatever he gets drafted in the fifth round right he gets an opportunity to play and he

03:19makes some great throws but it's all kind of like scrambling around on the run throwing guy you know

03:26kind of like that that's factor to him like there's just something about watching shadoor sanders he's

03:30just got a little he's got a little x factor to him but here's the problem from a coaching standpoint

03:36you can't base everything on that you got to base it on knowledge of the offense knowing where to go

03:42with the football knowing how to manipulate the defense you got to know what you're doing i get

03:48you and so if he never gets past that first part he's not going to be able to show the second part

03:53and the first part is what's holding him up and that's what i said i think people just look at

03:59dylan gabriel all respect and maybe he'll be really good i don't know but i do think people

04:02look at dylan gabriel and they're just like you know he's kind of a easily he's like the team's

04:07terrible i understand who cares what the quarterback looks like that's the least of your problems you

04:12got so many other things going on it is but this is the most juicy thing about the team like

04:16if you didn't want that situation they should have drafted shadoor sanders okay you know what i mean

04:21like no i don't well i don't that really has nothing they're like it does they draft they didn't have

04:27no quarterback so they drafted two quarterbacks because they have none right and you want to know

04:33the perfect example of what's going on there that the quarterback they got rid of and dumped has

04:39thrown for a million yards with two good receivers he's good right so if joe flacco couldn't do it

04:46what makes you think two rookies are going to do it don't know right so like if shadoor was a

04:53quarterback there'd be dylan gabriel fans saying the same thing about dylan g it just it doesn't

04:58matter there are dylan gabriel fans other than the gabriel family respectfully nice man and phil knight

05:04yeah yes and then so it's just like it's like this is where we are with a team that's won two games

05:13like we're gonna argue about here you got people who want quinn yours to start and that's where we

05:18what do you mean are we there yeah of course we have quinn yours that's right people want to see

05:22what quinn yours has over tua you know like even though two is going to be here next year i don't

05:28know all right but vlad vlad vlad if you're gonna if we're gonna have this conversation i need you

05:36come with reality not what you feel good people cut bait people people want to cut bait but every team

05:43doesn't do that you know that we all know that so stop but this guy first of all this team has cut

05:49more checks for guys who don't play for their team than maybe but that's not not like that though

05:54if you already know that the if the damage is done already no i'm just listen i understand what people

06:01want but what do what normally do teams do normally you teams don't cut bait i understand i understand but

06:09what if what if we're in a situation where two is cooked like i'm asking a question leroy i'm not

06:15saying i know what the situation of his contract but people have signed bad contracts before the

06:19browns are doing this right now with the john watson yes and he's probably not going to be on the

06:23roster next year they're probably going to cut bait and i think for the dolphins if they get to a point

06:28like if two continues to play this poorly and he's been awful this year and i don't know what the

06:34reasons are maybe the league figured him out maybe he's a little mentally frazzled maybe injuries are

06:39just starting to catch up with him because he's had a whole hell of a lot of head injuries body

06:43injuries and he's just not the he's just not that guy anymore he already had a very small physical

06:48margin for error you just hold you can't hold on to that for another year just because like you do

06:55have to have a guy million but it's it's sunk anyway the damage is done now like that's coming from a guy

07:02that's not spending the money and all i have is normally people don't just cut bait like that the

07:09night we okay did the niners cut bait with jimmy g when they got brock birdie no but it wasn't this

07:14much money but does it but they cut bait that's not the you're you're saying they don't cut bait i

07:19get it i'm not no the market i'm not i don't want to have this conversation okay because i'm speaking

07:24in reality okay well that you're not gonna just throw away 50 let's talk about this reality if he

07:28continues to be this bad you might replay he can't be your quarterback you might replay no you might

07:33replace him at the end of this year and then you're gonna reboot it next year not with him yeah

07:36you can't leroy okay so you're gonna go you're telling me what you can't do you're going into a

07:42hopeless year then if he continues to play this bad it's gonna be hopeless anyway you're not gonna

07:47be able to do nothing next year with all the money you have out there so you just want to continue

07:51to throw him out there i mean is that what throwing ducks to the other team i mean atlanta's

07:56holding kirk cousins and they paid him over 100 million dollars yeah yeah my whole point was is

08:03it's not like yeah if you find another quarterback and and he replaces tua right fine okay okay two is

08:11gonna be on this team i don't okay fine that's all i'm that's all i've been saying you guys know

08:17about players and i two is gonna be on this team okay fine he could be on the team okay the question

08:22is that what the fans don't want is maybe him starting okay find somebody better that's the that's

08:28what it is you think you look go go look around and that's why they say maybe give viewers a chance

08:34to see right because this is based based on last month do you understand do you understand right

08:45that you know how you could lose a team quicker than any is put a guy on the field that's not the

08:54best guy for that that job we've put a lot of guys on the field this year oh hear me out they put a

09:00lot of guys on the field this year that weren't ready and not in the best position right because

09:03you have no other options yeah but that they've already done that this year no but i'm you're so

09:08you're saying just do it with the quarterback at a certain point i wouldn't mind them doing it if

09:14he continues to play like this if they continue to play like this which is awful leeward if they're

09:18two and ten and then and they say they want to play quinn youers and then youers wins like you

09:23know for the next five you you think if they if anybody thought quinn youers quinn youers could win

09:31four out of the next five he wouldn't already be playing like the the you have to put the best player

09:37out there i don't care the money doesn't matter to me well but my whole point is they're not just

09:41gonna dismiss do it but we gotta we can't act like politics and these decisions because like what

09:46you're saying the money spent and the relationship that he has with the head coach like you can't act

09:50like that doesn't play a part in the patience or how much how many chances or leeway when it comes to

09:54the job when it comes to keeping your job really i've seen and i know coaches that have benched a wife

10:03right like no it's about you have a job on this team there was an interesting thing where that

10:09there was an interesting there was an interesting thing about you know the dolphins being able to bench

10:16him like i'm sure he's got the green light if he wants to and then but i i bet you if i spent 50

10:20million dollars on a guy a year on a quarterback and i'm the coach that kind of vouched for him

10:26yes you're gonna make sure that tries to work until you get clearance from your boss because like you

10:32said he's the one who has to write the checks and so if you have a loud wrong mistake like that

10:37you're gonna try and make that work as much as possible right well the problem is is that

10:42tool wasn't mike mcdaniel's guy

10:45he was already here he's this guy okay he wasn't he wasn't he wasn't anybody's guy when he was here

10:52he was just here remember he's like i don't not feel wanted mike mcdaniel made him feel wanted that's

10:57his guy hey the guy went up to ownership and said you got to give him the bag yeah that's your

11:03guy that's his guy nobody's gonna go up to own and said you gotta pay him if if dylan gabriel i mean

11:09not dylan gabriel if queen yours was

11:12even close i think at some point they would give him a chance yeah i'm saying but the fact that

11:21they're not just gonna throw him out there with the knowledge that they have of what he could or

11:27couldn't do right now like for some reason you think these guys see these players every day

11:33they know right for you to say ah let's just kick the tires off they already know i understand and

11:40look he got already put back to third stringy at that one game where he was put up so i'm not i'm

11:44i'm not even saying that it's likely to happen soon but is it even is zach wilson taking him for a

11:52spin like if two continues to throw time bombs to the other team like absolutely you're gonna shake

11:59it up at some point the fact the fact that you put quinn yours in before you put zach wilson in

12:05also says something else look that's another mistake in its own right of being like we had

12:10to go get zach wilson as our backup point huh i mean the past regime messed you guys up

12:16oh at least the past gm so like yeah i'm not he's having my ties right now i'm just what do you think

12:22he is you think he's just so like do you think chris greer right now is in a hammock somewhere

12:26so unburdened by all this definitely in a hammock it's definitely in ireland so it was like ah don't

12:32have to scout any injured players that i could draft you know bring me more of those uh pigs in a

12:37blanket please i would i would just i would just say like listen contrary to property leaf it's

12:47everybody's job to win games and if quinn yours was even close or showed something we've seen it in

12:54football before now where they feel good about the young guy and they put him in and he flat he he

12:59he flashes and and warrants you giving him more time when yours is not even there yet doesn't appear

13:07that way right so to have sit here and have this conversation about kicking the tires on quinn

13:14you when we already pretty much have an idea we you have an idea you know one throw hear that one

13:20throw in the garbage time there you go and i got him blown up that is chucked it down the field

13:26dude you know what that is you understand you know what that is my first trick you know what that is

13:29stand in the pocket

13:33down the field

13:34you
