00:00All right, well, we don't know the Dolphins situation for the future, but we know for

00:07the present, it's as bad as any team in the NFL.

00:11And I do want to say, and George and I have talked about this before, we've talked about

00:15it on and off the air, is that backup quarterbacking in the NFL is just never going to be good.

00:19Let's be honest.

00:20How they can have 100 colleges and they can't have 20 good quarterbacks in the NFL is crazy,

00:25so let alone having 40 is impossible.

00:27So the Dolphins are just literally throwing darts.

00:30They threw a dart with Skyler Thompson.

00:33It didn't work.

00:34They went to the practice squad of a team that didn't want Snoop Huntley.

00:37And if you watch some of the video postgame, George, from that last game, Huntley had no

00:41idea what he was doing.

00:42Man, Tyreek Hill was running down the field, didn't even look.

00:45I said last week, I thought Jalen Waddell will at least catch some balls over the middle.

00:49He barely did.

00:50But I'm going to go first here, George.

00:53You cannot cut Jalen Waddell.

00:54I mean, you got to be crazy.

00:55I mean, if you think that Tua could come back for weeks 11, 12, and 13, you hold this

01:01guy.

01:02You absolutely hold this guy.

01:04I mean, still very young.

01:06And by the way, here's the other thing, George, who's to say that Huntley is not the quarterback

01:11next week and it's Tannehill or somebody else?

01:13I have to hold on to Waddell, although I will say I can't play him right now.

01:18I sit him.

01:19Oh, he's an absolute sit.

01:21I don't have any doubt you're not playing him.

01:23I have Tyreek Hill.

01:25I don't want to start Tyreek Hill.

01:27I don't.

01:28The only reason I'm starting Tyreek Hill this week is because in the league, I only have

01:31him in one league.

01:32Neighbors is out.

01:33And I think one of my other, oh, Mont St. Brown's on by.

01:35I don't have a choice.

01:36I got nobody left.

01:37All right.

01:38So that's the only, oh, Hopkins is another wide receiver I have.

01:40And by the way, if Tennessee was playing this week, I probably would have started Hopkins

01:43over because there's nothing I can do there.

01:45I have to start Hill.

01:46I don't expect much here.

01:47I'm not releasing Waddell either, only because, listen, Tua's getting all good reports, right?

01:52He's cleared concussion protocol.

01:54None of these neurologists are telling him that he has to retire.

01:57So he's not getting those kind of bad news, that kind of bad news here.

02:00Craig, I wonder if he's back in two weeks.

02:03You know, I wonder if he's back for week seven, you know, week eight.

02:07Yeah.

02:08Right.

02:09Not impossible at all here.

02:10So yes, I'm holding on to Waddell.

02:11You know, I think their schedule gets a little easier.

02:14Who do they play this week?

02:16New England.

02:18Maybe you can pull out a win there.

02:19What I'm saying is we have a season that's not lost.

02:21I do wonder if they're one and six, one and seven, you know, okay, maybe then it's a lost

02:25season for Tua.

02:26That I worry about.

02:27Yeah.

02:28No, basically they lose this week.

02:29It's a lost season.

02:30It feels like.

02:31This is probably the line of demarcation.

02:32If they lose to New England, that's it.
