00:00I'll start in Cleveland, Tom, where the Browns took on the San Francisco 49ers.
00:04Pretty ugly game here.
00:06Weather was, you know, in the forecast.
00:08So the expectations were it would actually probably look something like this.
00:13The Shador Sanders, you know, everyone's going to continue to track the performances.
00:19And, again, I think the big thing for Shador is he continues to buy himself another rep.
00:25And he did that.
00:26Therefore, I see it for him personally.
00:28The game is a success.
00:29He's going to get the start next week.
00:31Did you have a big takeaway from this one?
00:34Nothing that dramatic.
00:36He went over his completions.
00:38He went over his yards, if I remember correctly, which was 140.5, if I saw that out there.
00:43And, like you said, he bought himself another week at the table, essentially.
00:48What I want to see is now let's flash some upside.
00:51Like, it's good to be the starter.
00:52It's good to be named the starter.
00:54But let's start building on that.
00:56Like, let's add in elements of the game.
00:57And some of this is not only him.
00:59Like, it's the coaching.
01:00It's the play calling.
01:01Are they going to allow him to throw it deep?
01:02Are they dialing up those type of plays?
01:04So, I want to see, add one piece to the puzzle every week.
01:08Take one less.
01:09If he took two, if he had the exact same stat line next week, but took two fewer sacks, that's a win.
01:14One less incompletion.
01:15One less this.
01:16One less that.
01:16One more of that.
01:17And that's where we'll see the actual progression happen.
01:20Yeah, I will say for Shadori, I don't think he has been all that great in any of these games.
01:26I also think, though, he was so bad against Baltimore.
01:31Right?
01:31A lot of those.
01:33The sample size is so small.
01:34Like, it's going to be hard for any of his metrics to look good for a while.
01:39I do think there is some legitimate pressure, though, against Tennessee to look good.
01:44Now, maybe the weather will remove that pressure because that's just what Cleveland looks like when we get to November, December.
01:50But they're a real favorite against a really bad team.
01:55It's not just about winning in that spot to me.
01:57Like, I think you want to see Shador look legitimately better in that football game.
02:04So, then again, on the other side is the number one overall pick, and he has been start to finish the worst quarterback in football this year in Cam Ward.
02:15Another rookie quarterback is Tyler Shuck, and it's not his fault, but it's one of the most useless draft picks in the history of football.
02:23Pick 40.
02:24You can get a really good player at 40, and instead the Saints took Tyler Shuck, and he's going to get himself about, you know,
02:31eight or so starts for the Saints, and he's proven he's not the guy, and they're going to move on from him.
02:38But the real story in this one is Miami, Tom, stacking wins.
02:42And I don't think they have any chance to make the playoffs in the AFC.
02:45I think that that's silly.
02:47But I don't know.
02:49I mean, maybe they're looking at their schedule thinking, Jets, Steelers, Bengals, why not us?
02:55Right.
02:55And a lot of people are pointing to it that the Dolphins, despite how they started, have a very easy end to the season.
03:02You know, I would look at the team overall and how they've been performing.
03:05I think it's important to take something out of this game, which was pretty ugly when it's all said and done.
03:12You know, Tua didn't look great against a pretty terrible defense.
03:15Yeah.
03:16You know, like, bad performance from him.
03:18HN's amazing.
03:19We know that.
03:20But ultimately, I'm not sure there's enough talent on the Dolphins to obviously push to the playoffs when the game is expecting them.
03:26Can they cause some noise?
03:27Can they cause an upset?
03:28It's clear that the players are still playing for McDaniel.
03:31Yes, I think those things can happen.
03:33But I'm not expecting much more beyond that.
03:35Yeah, I want to just make it known that I have real real estate.
03:40And I'd like for people to get in while they still can on Mike McDaniel is good island.
03:46Because I believe that.
03:47I actually think Mike McDaniel is good.
03:49And I think the quarterback is atrocious.
03:53I think Tua has regressed.
03:56And this team was left for dead countless times this season.
04:02At 0-3, at 1-5, at 1-6, at 2-7.
04:07And then they beat Buffalo.
04:08And now they're just gutting out awful victories.
04:11And people will say that they're worse off for that.
04:15Not if it gets them to keep Mike McDaniel.
04:17I truly believe Mike McDaniel is worth keeping for this team.
