From the college coaching carousel and "Let Dak Throw" to Miami's "meme offense."

—

In this episode:

* Break down Billy Napier’s “inevitable” firing at Florida and speculate on the college coaching carousel, including James Franklin and Rhett Lashley.

* Analyze what’s wrong with Trevor Lawrence, suggesting he has a “mid-ceiling and a mid-floor” and lacks a “killer instinct”.

* Argue that the Miami Dolphins are a “meme offense” facing cultural issues and in need of a “total reset”.

* Discuss why Dak Prescott is a “top-five quarterback”, why the Rams have the #1 DVOA defense, and why the Chiefs are “back”.

* Explain why elite defenders like Micah Parsons are “worth every dime” for their ability to take over games.
