Good morning and welcome back to Zach Jackson and friends. I am Zach Jackson. It is late Monday night past my bedtime.

Frankly, I have some more shador thoughts that I want to do both share and make sure I said more clearly.

Because sometimes in the post game podcasts, I'm old and I'm tired and emotions are running high and I'm trying to touch all the bases and all of those things.

So anyway, whether you were here for the last one or not, whether you've been here for a year and a half of doing this or not, appreciate you.

You're coming by.

And agree or disagree.

We'll see.

But I want to run through just some thoughts I have.

I'll tell you about where I was tonight a little bit.

Go over some numbers that are interesting that didn't make it into the postgame podcast

and might not make it into the weekly flow of things I write and talk about.

And then I will share my Shador thoughts now that I got to sleep on it and spend the day.

You know, it's news, right, when Stifansky says he's going to start because previously he had

been kind of vague but kind of clear

that Shador wasn't promised anything. And obviously Shador has earned this opportunity. And when you

look at the state of this team and everything, there's not much to get excited about. There's

Miles Garrett and there's Shador. And whether you think he is the greatest, whether you think he's just getting started, whether you think he's getting away with things that maybe he shouldn't, you have to say it's interesting, it's intriguing.

And the absolute right answer for an organization that struggles to find them is to play him in these last

four games and let him grow and let him develop and obviously it's searching for an answer

and maybe searching for a way out and crowning him to some extent but before any of those things

or even outside any of those things, he's got to play.

He's got to continue to practice.
