1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Is the best of two pros and a couple Joe 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: with Lamar Airings rating Win and Jonas Knox on radio. 3 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 2: And now we get to find out how the rest 4 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: of the big birthday bash went for the one and 5 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 2: only Leaverrington. 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 3: I'm tired, that's all I love to tell you. But 7 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: I'm here here, and let's do it. Yeah, let's let's 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 3: give the people a show. Yeah, we'll do the best 9 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 3: we can. 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, we we will definitely try because thankfully, uh, the 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: NFL decided, you know what, We're gonna throw you guys 12 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: at bone. I know we're gonna go ahead. We're still 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 2: waiting to find out exactly what the full details are 14 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: on Malik Beasley and whether or not he's just a degenerate, 15 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: flunky gambler who pissed away his entire career because he's 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: betting props on his own point total, rebounds or assists. 17 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: But nonetheless the end NFL decided to step up and say, 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 2: you know what, here we go. Here's a little something 19 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: for you, and that little something is a big one. 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: We've got a trade. The Dolphins traded cornerback Jalen Ramsey 21 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: Titan end John Newsmith to the Pittsburgh Steelers for safety 22 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 2: Minka Fitzpatrick and a pick swap. Yeah, I got news 23 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: for you. The Dolphins this year ain't gonna sound nothing 24 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: like that. No, they will not. There would be no 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:43,639 Speaker 2: no Dolphins sounds this year. The answer would would insult Peta. 26 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: But I look at this and I go. We've heard 27 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: speculation about whether or not the Steeler or the Dolphins 28 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: were going to trade Jalen Ramsey. That's been rumored about, 29 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: It's been whispered about. There's been discussions about it. You know, 30 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: Chris Greer, their GM talked about it. A clearly had 31 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: run its course there for whatever reason, and so now 32 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: he ends up in Pittsburgh. There is some speculation that 33 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 2: he might even switch to safety. And I don't know 34 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: about you, but if you add that along with John 35 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: new Smith, who's coming off the best season of his 36 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: career and for some reason they couldn't get a restructuring 37 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: done on his deal, all of a sudden, the Steelers 38 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: add a couple of new pieces, and the feeling on 39 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: Mika Fitzpatrick was he was starting to slip a little 40 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: bit in his play. So if you can add Jalen 41 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: Ramsey and John hu Smith to this offseason and what 42 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: the Steelers have already done. I love this for Pittsburgh. 43 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: I think it's a great move. 44 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: So you feel as though it's justifiable to just throw 45 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 3: it out there that Menca Fitzpatrick's play has been slipping. 46 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: There's been some speculation about that speculation. 47 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, man if if almost getting 48 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 3: a hunt, your at tackles and in the season as 49 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 3: a safety in the Pittsburgh Steelers defense is slipping when 50 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: I mean in twenty one he had one hundred and 51 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, he had one hundred and twenty four. 52 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 3: Combined that tackles and his stats, it was statistically speaking, 53 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: it was his best his best season, but it's not 54 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 3: far off. It's not far off from what his stats 55 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: were this past year. And listen, if we're talking, first 56 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: of all, it's not apples to apples in terms of 57 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: a comparison because you're talking about a corner and you're 58 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: talking about a safety. Now, if you think that and 59 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: I heard you mentioned Jayalen Ramsey may move the safety, 60 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 3: and that has happened. We've seen We've seen Cornell Lake 61 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: moved to safety. We've seen Rob Woodson moved to safety. 62 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: We Charles Woodson moved to safety, like we've seen some 63 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: really really find football players go from playing corner to 64 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: moving to safety. Is Jalen Ramsey, is he in a 65 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: space in time for him we're moving making a move 66 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 3: to safety? Is at that time? First of all, meaning 67 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: has he has his ability to cover as a corner 68 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 3: maybe gotten to the point of where he should think 69 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 3: about being a safety and covering more space and not 70 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: having to cover corner or excuse me, receivers man and man. 71 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 3: Now now his responsibilities and his duties would be more 72 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 3: specified to covering tight ends like bigger guys, you know, 73 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: not not not so much the smaller guys, but play 74 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 3: over top defense. But he's also someone that you would 75 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: need in the run. And that's that's why the amount 76 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: of tackles is so important in terms of what they 77 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 3: bring to the table. Now, I mean his stats are 78 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: are somewhat comparable in terms of tackles sixty tackles, twenty 79 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: one assists on one sack, two interceptions. Listen, that's not 80 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: a bad bad year statistically for a corner either depending 81 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 3: on how often he's playing and depending on how many 82 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: times they throw the ball his way. Two interceptions is 83 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: not something that you would say is a great year 84 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: by any stretch of the imagination. So, but that's right 85 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: around what he's pretty much averaged his entire career. Like, 86 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 3: I think the most he's he's had is four in 87 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 3: a year, four interceptions. So I would be interested to 88 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 3: see what his past breakups are, his past defenses are. 89 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not going to say it's a horrible 90 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: move or it's a bad move by either team. I 91 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: don't I did. I do not think that Minka Fitzpatrick 92 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 3: is slipping. I don't. I think he's still a fine 93 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 3: football player and has some some fine football left in him. 94 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 3: And and so I think that's a positive addition for 95 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: for Miami, especially because I mean, this is a team 96 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 3: that has a lot of talent, and you lose a 97 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey. You were going to lose him, it sounds 98 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 3: like anyway, So to lose Jalen Ramsey, but to be 99 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 3: able to replace it with a Minka Fitzpatrick, I think 100 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: that I think that that's a win for Miami. Now 101 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 3: you have a young player and Joey Porter Junior that 102 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: plays cornerback, and and he has continued to improve and 103 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 3: improve and improve. If you're playing Jalen Ramsey as another corner, 104 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 3: then I'm I'm interested to see how much he has 105 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: left because that could make the defensive secondary pretty formidable. 106 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 3: If he still has something left in the tank. I 107 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 3: don't know. That's a big question mark. If if he 108 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 3: can play, make the switch in be a good safety, 109 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: I don't. I don't. There's no comp on knowing if 110 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 3: he can be a good safety. But the look of it, 111 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: and even getting the tight end, the looks of it, 112 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 3: it did not hurt the Steelers. I don't believe it. 113 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 3: I could be wrong. 114 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: I think it helped them. 115 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 3: I could be wrong. I don't know yet if it 116 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: helped them. I know that gives them depth at the 117 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: tight ends position. But what will Jalen Ramsey be as 118 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: a Pittsburgh Steeler. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. So 119 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 3: while I'll say I don't believe they hurt themselves, I 120 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: don't know if they helped themselves. But again, I think 121 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: it raises it continues to raise the stakes for decisions 122 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: that they've made, getting rid of a beloved player, leader, 123 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 3: a playmaker for their team and bringing in a guy 124 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: that could potentially be a lightning Rod in terms of 125 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 3: how he handles things. It's a it's a wait and 126 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 3: see situation. 127 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: I would say, I look at it and I go, 128 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: they got rid of Mika Fitzpatrick and they added Jalen 129 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: Ramsey and John new Smith to me in just a 130 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: two for one. From that standpoint, I like the move 131 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: for Pittsburgh, and I also would trust that they would 132 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: figure out a way to make sure they're getting the 133 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: most out of Jalen Ramsey whatever, you know, whatever, that 134 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 2: version of him looks like this at this point in 135 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 2: his career, whether he's playing cornerback, whether he's transitions to safety, whatever. 136 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: And then with John new Smith, you know you're you're 137 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 2: getting him back. With Arthur Smith, you know there's there's 138 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 2: that relationship that's there and those guys that go back 139 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: to Tennessee days together. I look at this and I go, 140 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 2: if you're Pittsburgh, if you're a Steelers fan, and you've 141 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: been wondering whether or not they would get aggressive in 142 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: any of these off seasons over the past number of years, 143 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 2: they've gotten aggressive. They've made a ton of moves, which 144 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: tells me everybody there is starting to feel the heat. 145 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: Because you don't normally see Pittsburgh go out and spend 146 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: big money and go after a guy like DK Metcalf 147 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: and DK Metcalf. They added Darius Slay, they add John Newsmith, 148 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: they add Jalen Ramsey. They go out, they get Rogers. 149 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: This is a completely different looking Steelers. It's a completely 150 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: different approach to the Steelers, and one that Jalen Ramsey 151 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: himself yesterday on social media out He sent out a 152 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: little something via his social media account talking about his 153 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 2: excitement when it comes to the well, we'll get that 154 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: at some point later on, we'll effort that at some 155 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: point here. But nonetheless, Jalen Ramsey was excited about being 156 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 2: a Pittsburgh Steeler, so much so that he took to 157 00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: social media. 158 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 4: In Pittsburgh, toughness isn't a trait, it's a tradition, and 159 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 4: this city's always had a thing for defense with an edge. 160 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 4: Now there's a new name stepping into the black and boase, 161 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: shut down corner, relentless competitor, a walking chip on his 162 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 4: shoulder with four wheels and no brakes. 163 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 5: He talks loud, he hits harder. He didn't come to 164 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 5: change what Pittsburgh stands for. He came to show he 165 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 5: belongs on steel, sharpened steel, and the Steelers just about sharper. 166 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: You think about that far? What do you think about that? 167 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 3: I mean, that was nice, sounded. 168 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: Good representing you're Steelers. You're not more excited about this? 169 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: Come on, bar, Steelers are back. 170 00:10:53,800 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 3: I'm skeptical, man, I'm just skeptical. That's all skeptical looks 171 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 3: of it. Minka had four past defenses, while I believe 172 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:17,479 Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey had seven. No, no, not seven past defenses. 173 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: He had eleven. So, I mean, it's not bad. It's 174 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 3: not bad. It's not bad. I mean, it's it could 175 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: turn out to be a really good pick. I mean, 176 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: it's still a name that says elite corner, but it 177 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: doesn't come without wondering is he still an elite corner? 178 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 3: Does that make sense? He's still it's a name that 179 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 3: says elite corner, but does he still have elite cornerback 180 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 3: game left in him? That's I mean, that's the first 181 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: question that comes to mind for me. But again, the 182 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh's defense, the Steeler defense, they they could have used, 183 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: they could have been a little better. They could have 184 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 3: been a little better last year. Uh and and just 185 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: knowing that it's coverage. It's all about coverage. It's all 186 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 3: about the way you're able to defend against the past 187 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: these days. Are you able to get to the quarterback? 188 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 3: Are you able to cover the quarterback? And the Pittsburgh 189 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 3: Steelers strong unit, you know, they they I mean they 190 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 3: were high. They were they were ranked time in some 191 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 3: pretty pretty good, you know categories. They were good against 192 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 3: the past with in terms of past rush with TJ. Watt, 193 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 3: they're pre decent against the run. But they could have 194 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 3: been better. I mean they they definitely could have been better, 195 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 3: and this team overall could have been better. I just 196 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of pressure. I think there's 197 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on Pittsburgh Steelers UH to be 198 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 3: able to create a better, a better scenario, better outcomes 199 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 3: for their team this year. And we'll see. I mean, 200 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 3: they're certainly not going to get criticized for not making 201 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: an assertive effort during this offseason. Yeah, to be a 202 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: better team. I mean, they certainly won't get the blame 203 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 3: on that well. 204 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 2: And I think that's to me, that's what stands out 205 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: the most about this move. With the other moves they've 206 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: made in the off season, clearly they looked around and 207 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: realize we got work to do, because if not for 208 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns, that team's the worst team in that division. 209 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 2: And Cincinnati feels like, you know, I know, they've got 210 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: to get the Trey Hendrickson stuff figured out, but Cincinnati 211 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: feels like they're ascending. That's a dangerous team. Pittsburgh's been 212 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: kind of caught in the middle a little bit. And 213 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: I do think that at least, at the very least, 214 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: you're gonna walk away from this year going hey, at 215 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: least we may we gave it a run. We didn't 216 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: just accept the same old, same old every single offseason. 217 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 2: At least we made some moves. At least we got aggressive. 218 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: Roll the dice, see if Jalen Ramsey has a little 219 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: something left, see if Rogers has a little something that left. 220 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: Reunite John hu Smith, bringing DK Metcalf all of a sudden, 221 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 2: it's a new look, and for me, it makes this 222 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 2: team that much more intriguing going into the season and 223 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 2: going into the training camp. 224 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, definitely intriguing, and it'll be definitely interesting to 225 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 3: see if this because the biggest question still remains, did 226 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: these moves make you competitive against Baltimore and Cincinnati. That's 227 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 3: that's gonna be the biggest question. And listen, Cincinnati has 228 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 3: been known to play down or play like Cincinnati Bengals, 229 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 3: you know, and they've they've been good, They've they've they've 230 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: got a lot of talent and they got probably I mean, 231 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: you could debate if he's the best quarterback in in 232 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 3: the AFC, nor if you could debate if he's a 233 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: top top you know three top five quarterback in in 234 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 3: the league, so and Joe Burrow. But they have not 235 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: always played up to their potential, and so that'll be 236 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 3: interesting to see. How will Cincinnati play. They still have 237 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 3: some some outstanding issues they need to tie up and 238 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: take care of. Baltimore has seemingly become kind of it's 239 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: their division, So how are they going to look this year? 240 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 3: Are they going to be that? I think we look 241 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 3: at Baltimore and say, how much better are they going 242 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: to be than what they were the year before? Because 243 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 3: they continue to improve. And so to me, it's like 244 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 3: you could do a great job on your off season, 245 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: but how much better have you have you made your 246 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,239 Speaker 3: team good enough to be able to compete against Baltimore 247 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 3: and Cincinnati. I mean, that's Some would say yes, yea, 248 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 3: some would say yes. 249 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: That's the uh. And and look, it's not like we 250 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: haven't seen teams go out and make a bunch of moves. 251 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: The Eagles back in twenty eleven that went out and 252 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: signed Nomdia, some one, all those guys, and then it 253 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: turned out there were a five hundred team of the 254 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 2: regular season. So it could end up being like that. 255 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: But I just it would give me if I were 256 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 2: a Steelers fan, it would give me a little bit 257 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: more hope going into next year knowing well, at least 258 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 2: we got aggressive and if it all fails miserably, then 259 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: heads are probably gonna roll after the year, and then 260 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: you just pick up the pieces moving forward. 261 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and 262 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and 263 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific 264 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 265 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 6: Hey, it's Ben, host of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller. 266 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 6: Would mean a lot to have you join us on 267 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 6: our weekly auditory journey.

Fourth of July is this friday for 279 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: NFL players? This really is the last week that you 280 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 2: can get it in? Is that correct? 281 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 3: My son came home, he came home for the week, 282 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 3: but he ain't gonna get it in. I'm gonna get 283 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 3: it out of him. I'll tell you that, because we're 284 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 3: gonna get some work in today. He got lucky. Yesterday 285 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 3: was my birthday, but he came in for that. He 286 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 3: came in for my birthday. So that was cool. But yeah, 287 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 3: you know, he's uh, you know, he's he's here, and 288 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: and yes, the answer is yes, this is that this 289 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 3: is that one last moment where you get the opportunity 290 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 3: to kind of, you know, get whatever it is you 291 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 3: got in inside of your out of you. And so 292 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 3: that you can lock in on on the grind of 293 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: the season. You gotta get through training camp, get through 294 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 3: training camp, get the regular season. Next thing, you know, 295 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 3: it's like, this is it. This is this is that 296 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: last moment before you start the journey to the other 297 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 3: side of the basically the year. You know you're gonna 298 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 3: close the year out if you're playing well, or to 299 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving somewhere in there and around there. So yeah, this 300 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,719 Speaker 3: is this is that one moment in time to you know, 301 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 3: have your last whatever's going to be. Go jump in 302 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 3: the pool, go jump in the ocean, you know, just 303 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 3: be at home, whatever it may be. But this is 304 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: that last moment for. 305 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: Sure, because when you mentioned it, you know, like before 306 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: you get back to the grind basically the NFL, Like 307 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: just from the NFL standpoint, if everything goes well, if 308 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: your team ends up playing well enough after this week, 309 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 2: you belong to them for seven months. That's right, that's 310 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 2: wild to think about, Like you belong to them for 311 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 2: seven months. You'll get a bye week, but who knows 312 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: of any if you're banged up or a rehabbing part 313 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 2: of that, But for seven months you belong to them. 314 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: And I do wonder if that's something too when we 315 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: see these issues of player arrests or off field incidents 316 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 2: or things like that, especially around the Fourth of July holiday, 317 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: is because they feel what you're mentioning, do it after this, 318 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 2: we got nothing but grind, So let's just let it 319 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 2: all loose. And some can do it within the parameters 320 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 2: of the legal system or the you know, the illegal 321 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 2: fireworks system, and some can't. And those are just the repercussions. 322 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: But it is interesting to think because I think for 323 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: most people, you just get into this typical Monday through 324 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: Friday ish type of nine to five grind. We're in 325 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: the NFL, You've got all this free time, and then 326 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you just don't that's over.

And and you know, the one 523 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 3: thing about it is is if if somebody would, if say, 524 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 3: I would have hit our quarterback and was called for 525 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 3: an offside and then a personal foul, I would have 526 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 3: been telling as much as I loved Jay Junior, I 527 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 3: would have been telling him the same thing. I would 528 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 3: have been saying the same thing. If it was Ronnie Harrison, 529 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 3: I would have been saying the same thing. So he's 530 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 3: one of those type guys you hate him as an opponent, 531 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 3: you love him as your teammate type dudes, you know, 532 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 3: and he's well deserving of it. I mean, I don't 533 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: know his let me look him up. I felt like 534 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 3: he had a Hall of Fame career, man, I mean, 535 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 3: I really do he was one of them special they 536 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 3: they always talk about certain safeties, like and it always 537 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 3: starts with Paulamalu, you know, which it should start with 538 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 3: Ronnie Lott, by the way. But you know a lot 539 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 3: of people bring up you know, Polamalu and Ed Reed 540 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 3: and then it's kind of like they stop or they 541 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 3: bring in Sean Taylor, you know, and they talk about 542 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 3: those guys and deservingly so not not saying not deservingly, 543 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 3: but but there have been some guys that had really 544 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 3: played this game at a at a very very high level. 545 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 3: And Rodney Harrison was definitely, you know, he was definitely 546 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 3: one of them. 547 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 2: First team All Pro twice, second team All Pro, was 548 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 2: fourth and Player of the Year, a Defensive Player of 549 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 2: the Year voting one year, won a couple of Super 550 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 2: Bowls in New England, obviously Pro Bowls. I mean, the 551 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 2: fact that he's not in the Pro Football Hall of 552 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 2: Fame is a little bit surprising. And I don't know 553 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: that you put him, you know on obviously, you know, 554 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: maybe not the Ed Reed level and all that, but 555 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 2: he was still a great player and I wonder he's 556 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 2: got It's kind of interesting because he played nine years 557 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 2: with the Chargers, and I wonder if nationally there's more 558 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 2: people that remember his time with the Patriots because of 559 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 2: those big games. 560 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 3: That he played it, which is crazy because he was 561 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 3: a way, way, way way younger, more spry player in 562 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 3: San Diego. 563 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 2: And it's not like he didn't play in the Super 564 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 2: Bowl with San Diego. Remember they they got blown out 565 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 2: by the Niners. 566 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 3: But he did beat They beat my Steelers to get there. 567 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 3: You know what's crazy is him. It was him and 568 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 3: Junior that's it. Like you might look at Natron Means 569 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 3: and you know a couple other people that you know, 570 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 3: Curtis Conway I believe was a guy Stan Humphrees, Like 571 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 3: there have been some guys like who was the dude 572 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 3: that had the light the light visor that was the 573 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 3: defensive end for them? Now, I mean they had they 574 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 3: had some guys, you know what I'm talking about. They 575 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 3: had some guys on on their team. And the two 576 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 3: that always stood out the most until LT and Sean 577 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 3: Merriman got there, and you know, Sean Phillips and Thosing Gates. 578 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 3: You know, until that era of time, the pre era 579 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 3: to that, it was all Rodney Hairrrison and Junior Sayau 580 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 3: all all like literally all them. I mean you could 581 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 3: throw Edwards in there too. The linebacker at Donnie Edwards 582 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 3: was was was dope as hell for the Chargers as well. 583 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 3: But man, it was junior in Rodney. Man, it was 584 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,760 Speaker 3: the Junior and Rodney show for sure. 585 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were. And it's just you know, and then 586 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 2: he's still waiting around. I also would say this from abroad. 587 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 2: I've loved Rodney Harrison as a broadcaster because he's one 588 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 2: of those guys that is, Look, I know I'm a 589 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,919 Speaker 2: former player. I'm not going to be a kiss ass 590 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 2: to former players. 591 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 3: I don't care. 592 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 2: I'm going to tell it how it is. This, this 593 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 2: is my thoughts on it. There's some people that push 594 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 2: back on it and say, well, who are you to 595 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 2: talk like? You're not one to talk considering your reputation 596 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 2: as a player, whether it's dirty hits, people forget it 597 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 2: sort of sparked the Kurt Warner running Saint Louis because 598 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 2: it was Rodney Harrison who went low against Trent Green. 599 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 2: There's been other incidents that have popped up when it 600 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,240 Speaker 2: comes to Rodney Harrison. He was fined a significant amount 601 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 2: of money throughout the course of his career, but that 602 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 2: dude was a great player. And I think that people 603 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 2: look more at his run with the Patriots than they 604 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 2: do his run with the Chargers. And he was in 605 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 2: San Diego way longer, and I don't know if that's 606 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 2: because it was San Diego. And this is not to 607 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 2: be insulting or offensive to San Diego Charger fans or 608 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 2: people listening in San Diego, but look, the team left 609 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 2: for a reason. I mean, they're clearly the market, the 610 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 2: visibility wasn't the same as it was in New England. 611 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 2: So when he went to New England and was able 612 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 2: to win Super Bowls there, I think it put his 613 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 2: career on another level. And the fact that he's still 614 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 2: waiting around for a Hall of Fame bid is kind 615 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 2: of strange. That's kind of odd to me. I guess, 616 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 2: you know, there's a few of them out there. I 617 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 2: guess he's one of those names to add, you know, 618 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 2: Darren Woodson, he's a name to add. He continues to 619 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: wait on getting getting a NOD and getting into the 620 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,280 Speaker 2: Pro Football. 621 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. You know, there's a lot of them 622 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 3: out there, but Rodney Harrison definitely is was a generational 623 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 3: player and definitely was a special football player. I think 624 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 3: he does an excellent job as well. The one thing 625 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 3: I love about Rodnie is that he just don't give 626 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 3: an f at all, Like you can say what you 627 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 3: want about him, you know. And I tend to try 628 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 3: to pattern myself after guys like that, you know, growing 629 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 3: up watching them, even now being in this type of 630 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 3: environment where I do media, I try to do it 631 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,439 Speaker 3: the same exact way. I could care less what people say. 632 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 3: You know, you could say I stink, you could say this, 633 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 3: that and the other. I'm gonna have a good time 634 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 3: with it because at the end of the day, I'm 635 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 3: getting paid to do the job. You get zero for 636 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 3: saying damn you know what I mean. So it's like 637 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 3: I get behind the microphone. I know what I know, 638 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 3: I've experienced what I've experienced, and and continue to learn. 639 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 3: Continue to talk to people you know that are within 640 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 3: the game, whether it be you know, top top tier guys, 641 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 3: top top level you know, corporate, or if it's the 642 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 3: players themselves. I try to stay connected to it as 643 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 3: much as I possibly can and and give give my perspective, 644 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 3: you know, because that's what this is. When you do 645 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 3: talk radio, you're you're here to give perspective for him, 646 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 3: he's he's an analyst, a studio guy, and he's brought 647 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,879 Speaker 3: in to give his opinions and his perspective, which is 648 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 3: based upon your experiences and how you see them. So 649 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 3: if you tell me my my my perspective is some s, 650 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 3: then that's fine, but I'm nonetheless still giving you genuine, 651 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 3: authentic perspective and that will never And that's one thing 652 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 3: as a player that I always respected about Rodney Harrison, 653 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 3: but I also respected from him as as a media 654 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 3: personality too. 655 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 2: He could crack man. 656 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,439 Speaker 3: Oh, he brought that hat. Bro was brought that hat. 657 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 2: He was one of those big shoulder pad safety guys. 658 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 3: So that would just lay the lumber like and he 659 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 3: didn't care if he knocked himself out. That's the thing 660 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 3: about it. He'll knock you out and he might knock 661 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 3: himself out, but it didn't matter. He's still he's going 662 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 3: to bring. He was what you He was a dude 663 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 3: that brought the noise. You're gonna get them woodled. 664 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 2: The name that we were looking for was Leslie O'Neill. 665 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 3: Leslie O'Neill, there you go. 666 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 2: Great player. Chris Mimmes was on that team. 667 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 3: Chris that's a good one, and. 668 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 2: Chargers had something. But that I want to show you 669 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 2: how good that forty nine Ers team was because that 670 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 2: wasn't close. That was a complete wipe out. And I 671 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 2: still remember this watching that Chargers Steelers AFC championship game, 672 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 2: and I remember it was a play at the goal 673 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 2: line and my nephew was a die hard Steelers fan, 674 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 2: and I just remember the ball was batted down at 675 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 2: the goal line. The Chargers win in three rivers. It 676 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 2: was an upset and I remember him running out of 677 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 2: the room crying, and I'm looking at it, going how 678 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 2: did San Diego win that game? Because everyone thought the 679 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 2: Steelers are going to the Super Bowl and that was 680 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 2: one of those. 681 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 3: It been a much better game, I'll tell you that. 682 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. And it was also that was people forget 683 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 2: that there was a real discussion that was being had. 684 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 2: Man is Bill Cower ever going to get this team 685 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 2: over the hump? Like, is Bill Cower ever going to 686 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 2: get this team to a super Bowl? And eventually they 687 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 2: got there, but they lost that Super Bowl either the 688 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 2: next year or the year after to Dallas in you know, 689 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 2: in Arizona, and then ultimately they ended up winning it, 690 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 2: and that was, you know, Bill Cower's final game. But yeah, 691 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 2: Rodney Harrison going to be a Hall of Famer, going 692 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 2: into the Chargers Hall of Fame, well deserved, and maybe 693 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 2: one day it'll eventually lead and do it. A Pro 694 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame nod for him. But there's a 695 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 2: great Chargers team, and go back to them. By the way, 696 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 2: enough with the powder blue crap. Go back to those 697 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 2: Chargers jerseys, those unis. I don't want to hear about 698 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 2: the powder blue stuff. Like, go back, dark blue, thick, 699 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 2: lightning bolt across the helmet and let's ride with that here. 700 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 2: I don't care. They're not in San Diego anymore. Make 701 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 2: that happen
