Guess what, No, Joe, they 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.239 lost thirty eight thirty five. Guess what? That touchdown? 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.640 With touchdown, that touchdown with a man.

That's forever where they go, top ten plays 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.479 of not not top ten. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.040 Plays, bonehead plays. 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:57.720 You own there. Yeah? 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.320 Yeah, So he did it. DeShawn Jackson did it. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.920 John Jackson, if I'm not mistaken, did it in high school? 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.520 Oh, he did in high school and college. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.960 At the Army All America within the Army All American Game. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.040 And he did it again in two thousand and eight 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.760 on Monday Night against the Cowboys. So he didn't learn 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.320 his lesson from high school. He said, you know what, 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.320 I'm gonna skip college. I'm gonna bring it back when 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:21.120 I get to the NFL. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:27.080 Yeah, and I never forget that bright I got. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.919 I got lucky Ojo. What game tonight had the biggest 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:31.960 playoff implication? 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:34.480 The biggest playoff implications? 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:36.760 Shoot? 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.919 Probably probably that Alabama loss that probably has the biggest 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.640 playoff implications. Listen, they coming off their second loss, they 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.520 cut off their second loss. They still got to play 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:52.080 LSU sometime sometime in November. They still after LSU, they 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.720 still have two more ringked teams. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.119 Yeah, they got LSU and they still got Old missed 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:58.919 and they got aubered in the Iron Bowl. 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.719 You know, But for Alabama, unless the quarterback play becomes 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.080 better and you don't turn them all over and you 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.440 get a running game with some of these RINGD teams 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.599 that you are that you are going to play, it's 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:17.600 looking real bad. It's look Alabama boss. 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:17.800 Well, real bad. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.359 The only thing they can really hope for is that 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.400 I just don't see it, O Joe get I think 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:24.480 it's more probable. 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:29.240 It's more more probable than not. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.159 Right. Did they lose four games and miss the SEC 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.080 and miss the college football playoffs, then they run the 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.200 table and make the SEC championship game and make the 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:43.000 College football playoffs. I think the first is more probable. 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:47.120 I think they lose at least at bare minimum two 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:52.880 more games, two more or three at least two Okay, Okay, 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:59.839 LSU N LSU, Old Miss. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:06.000 Oh man, that's it just don't seem like Alabama. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.159 Just the thought and seeing Alabama struggle, it doesn't even 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:10.160 look right on TV. 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:17.679 It don't even look right, it's weird. 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:22.080 It's weird just seeing an offense that we're used to 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.440 seeing receivers go crazy weekend and week out, which they 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.120 have been doing. But to see what Tennessee was able 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.520 to do to Alabama today defensively, Man, they couldn't run 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.080 the ball, they couldn't throw the ball. 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.440 I mean it was it was. Nathaniel nothing. 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:42.200 Too. 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.960 Is aiming to return to practice on Wednesday, and if 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.640 all goes well, we could see him start Week eight 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.440 against the Cardinals. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.120 That's like McDaniel told. 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.840 The told players that tour practice window will open Wednesday 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.880 and the quarterback intends to participate barring any setback to 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.520 it being lined to start all right. October twenty seventh, 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.920 Tua suffered his third concussion in two years uh and 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.520 the Dolphins Week two loss against the Bills. His latest 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.560 brain injury prompted several renowned calls for him to renewed 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.720 excuse me, renewed calls for him to consider retiring to 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:21.320 protect his health, but after consulting with independent neurologists, he 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.040 has no intention of retiring. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.840 I told you wasn't retired anyway, so you know, man 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.320 ain't retiring. Man, you know, I understand health is a 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.040 is a sole focal point that the that the team 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.960 and the doctors want to focus on. But as a competitor, 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:41.320 as a warrior, as a USO, you know, it's just 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:45.960 it's just just not in. It's not it's not in him. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.040 And then also being able to prove to all the 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.400 doubters that you were worthy of the contract that you 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.680 just signed. Oh, we think he's gonna hang he's gonna 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.640 hang it up. Now as a competitor, he just not 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.760 despite the health risks that a right hand, you know, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:00.559 it's tough. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:01.800 Yeah, and I get it. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.280 I mean maybe had I known the seriousness of concussions 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.200 that we know now, maybe I would rethink some of 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.840 the things that I did. O Yoe. But we didn't 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.960 know twenty years ago what we know now. And guess what, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.880 twenty years from now, they'll know more than what they 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.600 know now. But O Joe, let me tell you something, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:30.280 without help, without your help, all the money in the world, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:36.080 think about how much money people spend trying to be healthy, 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:44.400 trying to be young, trying to look young. Yeah, all 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.360 the money, and when it comes down to it, what. 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:51.600 Do you want? Yeah, help, think about that? 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.559 All the money thirty billion, fifty billion, one hundred billion, 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.719 and everybody. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:02.959 Wants to be healthy at the end. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:10.840 So the question that you have to ask yourself, somebody 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.280 having to bathe you in your twenties and early thirties, 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.480 somebody having to do everything for you in your twenties 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.280 and thirties. You don't even know your family in your 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:22.320 twenties and thirties. 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:25.720 I get it, O Joe. 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.439 You and I both played, and I can only imagine 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:33.520 had a brother had it taken from him. The doctor 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.400 was straight up honest with my brother, right. He told 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.719 him and said, son, if you was my son, I 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.319 would advise you not to play. I would advise you 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:46.160 not to play. He said, you got I'm lucky. He says, 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.160 I'm not so sure the next time you'll be this lucky. 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:54.800 He said, you're very lucky. You're not a paraplegic. Very no, 0:10:55.200 --> 0:11:02.280 he said, a quadriplegic. Say you extremely lucky, son. That's 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:10.959 all my brother needed to hear. I get it, boy. Hey, 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.600 I'm gonna take a lot of time before I make 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:19.240 that decision, O yo, because guess what. You know what happened, 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.040 O Joe? When you get one, it's easy to get 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:26.360 another one like, oo, he ain't getting concussions, o Jo, 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.920 he ain't getting concussions, which I got being I got 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.160 dinged a little bit. Let's go to the tent. He 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.840 getting concussions. They taking his ass to the locker room. Immediately, 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:40.040 He's out for the rest of the game. He's going stiff. Yeah, 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:54.160 fingers curl, hands stuck. Yeah, that's traumatic brain the injury. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.400 But at the end of the day, that's his decision 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.120 to make. Yeah, I say, I said, I got. 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.920 There's much information that you possibly can. You sit around 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.920 with your family, friends and loved ones, the people that 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.320 you count on, that you trust, and you try to 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:11.240 make the best informed decision. But the three concussions that 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:15.560 he had, oh Joe, those are not Dean. Were you, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:19.280 oh Joe? They coming to get him? 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.360 Well, you saw Ojo. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.120 You saw him in Cincinnati, Yeah, and you saw him 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:25.800 in Buffalo. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.280 He got dinged, O Joe. 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:33.200 He got dinged the week before Cincinnati, and they talked 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.720 about it was his risk, it was his ankle. And 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.640 then you put it right back out there on a Sunday. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.719 I mean, excuse me, that was a Sunday. You put 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:49.680 it right back on the field on a Thursday. I just, man, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.560 what what what? What's that? What they call that? That 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.040 that the concussion. 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.480 Cap, the guardian, the Guardian cap. 0:12:55.600 --> 0:13:00.600 Guardian cap put the Guardian cap on. I know it's ugly, 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:06.200 but hey. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.240 If it can help, if it can help, wear it, 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.080 that's if it can help. 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.520 I mean, that's the thing though, Joe. I mean, just 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:20.280 like like I said, man him, he getting that position. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.920 You see the hand fingers truck, you see the arm stiff. 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:29.920 That's yeah, I forgot, I forgot what it's actually called. 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.120 But well you're getting that position called posturing. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.480 I think I think that's the term that they use, 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:42.920 the medical term, though coach Tomlin continue to remain mom 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.440 on the Steelers starting quarterback plan for Sunday Night, George Pickingley. 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.480 George Pickens seemingly confirmed Russell Wilson would make it first 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.080 started the seasons against the New York Jets. When asked 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.680 whether he's been working with Wilson actually doing practice, Pickures said, yeah, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.440 we've been getting on the same page after practice, throwing 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:04.960 more than you because it's his first start, right. But 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.280 at half an hour before a figure the interview back up, 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.720 Mike Topley declined to reveal anything about the player would 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.319 ask whether he was ready to name a starter and 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:21.160 slipt out George ja Georgia fool back. Hey, he ain't 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:25.960 no no better. But here's the thing. That's what Mike 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.400 tommin you say. Look, guys, we're gonna keep a lid 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:34.840 on this. Yeah, we're not. Ay Russell's gonna start. Well, 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.880 you don't need to tell Russell if he's taking the 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.000 first team start, if he's taking the first team reps, 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:44.360 we know gonna start, right, Oh, Joe, aren't mistake. I 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:45.720 opened my big old mind. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:47.680 We played playing. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:53.920 We's playing somebody John didn't play, and they asked, when 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:55.240 did you know John was gonna start? 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.400 Oh, we knew all week. Hell he didn't take no reps. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:14:59.280 Uh. 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.760 Oh, y'all went on the injury report exactly. 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:05.240 So now the team get fine. 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.800 Yeah, I said, y'all would have told me. I was 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:10.720 bold to say nothing. 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.520 There's been so much controversy about who's starting and who's 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.240 gonna do what. And listen, if I think people need 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:22.160 to understand or remember that Mike Thomlin name Russell Wilson 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:26.160 has started before the season started. So the fact that Russ, 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.560 you know inconveniently got hurt as far as his cab 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.680 jury before the season started, despite the stillers playing as 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.800 well as they are. If you're healthy, the person you 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.880 name the actual start of the team should get his 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.880 job back, and it's his job now to lose. I 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.640 know some people will say, well, if you're going with 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.400 Russell Wilson now after a foreign to start, you really 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:48.960 can't go back to Justin Fields. Actually, yes you can, 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.000 Yes you can if you're Russell Wilson's not playing up 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.080 the par, if he's not playing as efficient as Justin 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.600 Fields was then the change that we made again. If 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.920 you're putting your team in harms way and things aren't 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:06.240 going the way they should and Mike Tommin doesn't see 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.440 fit that the direction of the team offensively where as 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.400 a whole ain't going to where it should the way 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.480 it should be going, there's a change is going to 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:15.040 be made again. 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.720 And ask you a question, Yes, sir, is Justin Fields 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.680 playing better than you thought he would, worse than you 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.440 thought he would about what you thought he would. 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:30.680 Be playing way better, way better, And you nobody's playing 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.280 way better because they're not asking him to do much. 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.000 They're not at he doesn't have. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.400 A how you think then ask Russ to do no. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.760 No, I'm just saying when he was in Chicago, he 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.640 had he had to be superman. He had to be 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:43.840 he had to do everything. 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:48.040 So on his plate. It's not as much being asked 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:49.760 of him, but what we do ask of you. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.040 Don't turn the ball over, make the throws, take what 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.760 they give you defensively, don't force anything. 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.120 And he's done a great job of that. He he's 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:01.240 done a really good job of that. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.000 Hive been playing phenomenal football, so I could probably understand 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.200 what his frustration would be with him not starting. But 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.280 of course his answer to the media is they say 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.640 everything PC, they say all. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:13.200 The right things. 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.159 That's not how you truly feel. You're foreign two, you 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.200 feel you should be the motherfucking starter. I'm sure they're 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.480 probably teach people on that team that feel the same way. 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.160 They just can't say it. But Mike Thomlin promised Russell 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.399 Wilson that starting job. That is why Russell Wilson starting. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.320 Justin field, started Pittsburgh's first six games of the year, 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.080 helped the team finish get to a four and two record. 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.639 Diana Rassini, the Athletic reported that the choice has resulted 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:42.280 in confusion. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.200 What the hell is Mike Tomlin doing? 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:48.800 That's the question being asked around the league, including in 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.800 the Steelers own building, even in the building of the 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:56.960 New York Jets, Pittsburgh's week seln apartment opponent, as Tomlin 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.880 is said to make a curious quarterback change. On Sunday night, 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:05.119 Rassini noted that Bhils has support of his teammate, and 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.320 it's still expected to see some limited playing time against 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.560 the Jets. Some around the league pose the question, if 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.200 you're going to switch quarterback who hasn't taken a live 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.720 regular season snap, why do it against the fierce Jets defense. 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.960 Pittsburgh has the New York Giants next week. Wouldn't it 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.120 make more sense for Wilson to debut fit? 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:30.240 Okay, no, hell nah, get your get your feet wet. 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.960 What better team to get your feet wet, get yourself 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.600 acclimated than the goddamn Jets. 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:38.919 Don't throw me out there. Don't throw me out there 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:40.920 against the goddamn sorry. 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.440 Oh shoot, no disrespect. Don't throw me out there against 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.000 the Giants. Let me show you what I could do 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:51.400 against the team that's supposed to be good. And we're 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.720 gonna get Jiggy. Listen, listen. For his sake, I hope 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:59.040 he plays well, but his st I hope he plays well, 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:00.760 and it's a good test for hire him. The fact 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.639 that they are playing the goddamn just defense, which is 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.440 I think if I'm not mistaken, ranked number one in 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.560 the league, maybe number two one or the other. 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:12.760 You do realize they're gonna heat him up. Oh yeah, 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:14.680 because they feel they got the kind of guy that 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.440 can lock up. You take Saut's garden and say you 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.480 got George Pickens. You're gonna read you got the other guy. 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.680 They're gonna bring pressure. They're gonna test that calf. 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:23.720 Yeah, most definitely. 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.720 Boy, Mike Tomlin, they better. We all better win this game. 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.080 You better win this game. Now you're making a very 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.280 unpopular decision, trust me. 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.119 Yeah, is he listens. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.119 One of the things is a coach sometimes people are 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:44.879 aren't gonna agree with you when it comes to making 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:46.119 difficult decisions. 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.480 And this is when he listen. It's all on rush. 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.440 It's all on rush to make Mike Tomlin look good 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:54.720 on the decision that he decided to make. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.680 Because I'm just trying to figure out. I'm just trying 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:05.240 to figure out what Mike Tomlin thought he was gonna 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.200 get with Justin Fields. You said you believe Justin Field 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.960 has played better than you thought. Clearly, Mike Tomlin think 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:11.680 he's played worse. 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.200 And listen, I think he's played He's played very well. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.720 I think his expectation is based on what Mike probably 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.520 had for him in this season. He exceeded those I 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.760 think he exceeded those expectations coming. 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:27.760 And then you go to Russell Wilson even though he's 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.040 exceeded your expectations. 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.960 Yes, because you've already promised Russell Wilson the job. We 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.719 don't know what conversations they've had before the season started 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.600 and let them know it's your job to lose. It's 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:41.360 just the fact that he got hurt and he wasn't 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:43.359 able to start at the beginning of the season. So 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.679 now he's giving him the job back now that he's healthy, 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.800 because the conversation has already had that you are the starter. 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.120 But again, if things aren't going well, I do see 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.640 Mike making a change, making a change, and he won't 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:05.119 hesit take he won't hesitate. Might be too laid o Joe, 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:09.720 but they's four and too they got plenty of time. 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.879 That's my point. You make it my point when you 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:13.840 say that four and two. 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:17.080 Yeah, yeah, So all Rush got to do is go 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:18.440 in there and pick up where he left off. 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.600 Mm hmm. But what happens when he doesn't. 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.639 Let's think, let'sten, I'm thinking, I listen, I'm thinking optimistic. 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.400 I want him to do well except when they play 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.520 the Bangals, I want him to do well. 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.800 Oh Joe, Yes, sir, how many times players have gotten 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.440 lied to all the time. 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:43.600 So now as you need your Rush becauseised them the job. 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:45.159 It's part of the business. 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:47.240 That's my point. 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.360 Hey, One thing about Mike Tollin boy, he's a stand 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.000 up guy and he's not the type that's gonna lie 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:51.119 to you. 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:57.800 Bet you go ahead on that bull j'n the stand 0:21:57.920 --> 0:21:59.720 up he's a stand up guy. 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:15.320 Right to Joe. 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:17.400 Now's time.
