not bad
though when he talks about being outcompeted at the end of the Devonian I was surprised he didn't mention the two big extinction events that brought the period to a close. 50% of all genera on the planet went extinct, so it may simply have been a victim of that same cataclysm rather than being poorly adapted. Dinosaurs weren't outcompeted by mammals, we just evolved to fill in all the vacant biomes and niches once dinosaurs were out of the picture
