What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTonight, ESPN reports Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley is not considering a quarterback change before the Week Six bye, but says the pass game has to be better.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVera, your take, thermometer's ready.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGenius. He demanded improvement from the whole passing game and then benched nobody, which is basically asking your car to run better while you keep the same driver and never change the oil.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEveryone is fine and the numbers are somebody else's.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. Your podcast has four listeners and two of them are bots.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy take is that the bye week is the real quarterback now.

  7. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA full week of no football cannot throw an interception, and the Dolphins finally found a passer with a clean record.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA week off with no throws.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. Dale, that's the most sensible thing you've said, and it frightens me.

  10. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGive it time, Hank. Next week I'll predict the stadium sinks.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFinal take, and it's the hottest: every team should play one bye week a game. Zero passes, zero problems, and I get to go home.
