Description

Mike Florio joins to break down the Dolphins’ decision to bench Tua Tagovailoa, explaining that Tua had reached a point where he was unplayable and the move allows Miami to get a real look at rookie Quinn Ewers. Florio shares his belief that Tua has likely hit his ceiling as an NFL quarterback and doesn’t expect him to secure another starting job, though a backup role could be possible. He also weighs in on the decision-making behind the benching, suggesting it was driven by Mike McDaniel—potentially influenced by comments from Stephen Ross—and may have been partially about McDaniel protecting his own job. The segment wraps with a TNF recap of the Rams-Seahawks thriller and Florio’s thoughts on the MVP race heading into the final weeks of the season.
