That link is pinned in the chat. Well, guys, 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.359 you just saw beat down. Just happened. The Cowboys beat 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.240 the Raiders by the score of thirty three to sixteen. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.400 George Pickins and CD Lamb spent Dallas opening series on 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.760 the bench coach's decision, reportedly violating team rules. We'll get 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.200 to that in a minute. But the Cowboys run their 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.519 record to four to five and one, so there's seven 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.239 games left, O Joe. The Raiders fall to two and eight. 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.440 No surprise there. Dak was sensational tonight twenty five and 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.800 thirty three, two sixty eight, four touchdown, zero interceptions. He 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.560 did have the strip sack fumble. Javonte Williams ran the 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.840 ball twenty two times for ninety three yards. They had 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.519 thirty one rush attempts one hundred and fourteen yards. George 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.440 Pickins led to charge nine carries for a buck forty 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.760 four in a touchdown. Seed He had five for sixty 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.679 six and a touchdown, and Jake Ferguson had four for 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.400 sixteen and a touchdown. Ceed's kicking himself. I mean, Dak 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.600 could have throw him a better ball he had Dak 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.800 had he sped himself up more than what he needed 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:43.520 to Seed. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.080 He know, he like he gotta make that catch. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.680 Gino twenty seven and forty two to two thirty eight, 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.040 one touchdown, won an exception. The running game was terrible. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.080 The offensive line is terrible. A center if god off, 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:55.920 I don't I don't like to say this, but y'all 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.880 saw it. How many safety how many sacks did he 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.880 give up? He's just he was just overmatched and oh 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:08.240 joll this is not you know, hindsight. Ashton Genty was 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.440 is a good player, but he's not the sixth pick 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.240 in the draft because you got too many more. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.440 You take that guy, you got everything you need. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.719 But if you got everything you need, guess you're not 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.880 picking sixth in the draft. He's not Ladonian Tomlinson, he's 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.600 not Adrian Peterson, sir. But you rewarded him as if 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.800 he was one of those transformational running backs. 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:29.120 He's not. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.200 I mean, I mean when when you watch him play, 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.920 when you watch him play in college, obviously, what he 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:41.000 was able to do at Boise at Boise State, it was, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.480 it was phenomenal. He had a phenomenal season. But then 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:45.520 you take into account. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.240 You know, you stepped up in competition. 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.320 Ye yeah, I hate saying that. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.680 I hate saying that, but you have to take that 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.320 into account and what he was able to do against them. 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.880 I think he played, he played against Penn State, and 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.480 he he you know, he did fairly well. But it's 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.840 much different as opposed to coming into the NFL and 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.080 and and using that as an assessment in him being 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.160 able to have success at this level, especially when you 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.520 go to a team that is that is as bad 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.880 as the raders are, you have to be that much 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.359 more special as they running back. You have to be 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.560 one of those one of those generational talents. 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.840 You need to be Barrys Sanders there you. 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.240 Go to be able to to be able to overshadow 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:24.520 how bad they are. 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.080 He's not Barry Sanders, he's not Ladanian, he's not a 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.960 he's not a Peterson, he's not that. He's not Say Kwan. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.120 He's not one of those transformational backs. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:40.000 O yo, and go ahead, go ahead. He's good. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:42.000 Yeah, he's good. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:42.479 Good. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.720 He's just not he's not them, and he's not good 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.720 enough to overcome how bad the raiders are. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:48.640 Let's thank you. 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.919 And when you need multiple things, Hey, oh Joe, I 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:54.880 got a house. You know in the house, ain't that 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.480 s fiffy? I don't need to spend thirty five thousand 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.200 dollars on the couch. I ain't got no refrigerator, ain't 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.479 got no microwave, I ain't got no stove. I ain't 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.919 got no bedroom furniture. I ain't got no living room furniture. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:06.680 I just got a thirty five thousand dollar couch. I 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.760 ain't got no TVs. They needed too much to spend 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.200 that pick on that guy. You needed a quarterback to 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:14.359 be honest with you. 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.200 Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.120 No he listen, they got a quarterback. They just ain't 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:22.479 got they ain't got much to work with. 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.920 Ye I mean he got a quarterback? Who the Raiders 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:27.000 man stopping? 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:27.400 Oh joe? 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:31.640 Okay, anyway, listen another for better context, for better context 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.240 for those that are watching, I want you to think 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.039 about Adrian Peterson. Once you think about Adrian Peterson when 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:38.960 he was with the Minnesota Vikings. 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.000 Yes, they didn't have much. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.600 On No, but he ain't Peterson. 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.320 I know. I'm just giving people context. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.160 Oh okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I see what 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:49.600 you're saying. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.680 To be able to affect the Raiders and and and 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.200 have them going in the positive light despite them having 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.960 so many missing pieces, to be able to make a difference, 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.600 you would have to be like an Adrian Peterson. Yes, 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.240 but but he's just not that very very good player. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.360 No disrespect to young Bull, but he just. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.039 Let me ask your question. You think the Raiders are 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:08.839 gonna go in the draft this year and get a quarterback? 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.720 Ship? Yeah, I mean what do you think? I'm not sure? Yeah? 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.840 Absolutely, And guess guess what. Guess what? Well, they probably 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:18.600 would have screwed him up. 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:25.160 He wouldn't have been with the Jackson dark Nay, but like, 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:26.880 but they probably would have screwed him up. 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.560 Yeah. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.280 But the Raiders need they need a lot of the defense, 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.320 with the exception of Crosby. Yes, sir, oh Joe, you 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.400 need you need corners, you need safeties, you need linebackers, 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.360 you need a lot of stuff. Thirty six was playing scared. 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.800 Oh Joe, you see him up there, like, oh oh man, 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:46.960 this is George Pickens. Damn what am I gonna do? 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.560 Catch this ball high and the hell him? I gonna 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.440 get him on the ground. Oh goodness, Lord, have mercy. 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.160 Hey y'all, why did y'all call this coverage? That's gonna 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.560 make me cover? George Pickens? 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.800 One, Well, you play for the Raiders. You for the Raiders. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.160 Un a blind man knows, and you play for the Raiders. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.520 What coverage are you playing? You're playing man coverage man, 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.240 for sure playing man. You understand and know that going 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.520 into the game. Boy, this is the bright lights, This 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.520 is the bright lights. This is the game you want 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.920 to get up for. You want to be playing against 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:24.440 the Cowboys. You want the world watching, You want everybody watching. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.240 When you as a defensive back, I get to play 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.640 against Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens. You got to be 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.560 chomping at the bitch for a battle like that too. 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.480 I want that as a competitor as a player. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.720 But the Raiders are so Oh Joe, the Raiders are. 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.440 They're so bad. They need so many things. They need 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.079 an offensive line, they need a defensive line, they need 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.040 something to go. If I'm Max Crosby, I want to 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.120 get out. Y'all need Max Crosley. You see you see 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.840 a Miles Garrett and we're going to talk about this 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.559 is having a historic a historic season. He has no 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.560 impact on them winning now, and it's unfortunate because he 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.800 has fifteen sacks with seven games to play. There's a 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.080 great chance he's gonna break that record that he's gonna 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.480 end up with twenty three, twenty four sacks, and it's 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.960 gonna be for nothing. They're probably finished with four and thirteen. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.560 MaTx. Crosby is unbelievable. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:21.840 He can play the run now. 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.240 He's a hard guy to block because you never do 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.040 because he's like a junior. Say I arrested soul. You 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.160 never know where he's gonna be. He's supposed to be 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.520 outside and then he crosses your face. You expect him 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.280 to cross your face, and now he bulls you back 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:34.079 into the backfield. 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:35.920 So he's a really hard. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.800 Guy to block or to line up, and you can 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.840 line him up on the line, but he's not gonna 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.000 be He's never he's not going to win there because 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:47.640 there's so many pieces away from fielding. Oh Joe, I 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.800 can't tell you. Like the receivers. I know Lockett. I 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:52.400 was like, Oh, that's Locket. That's the one that used 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.960 to be in Seattle, went to Tennessee asports release because 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:55.920 he wasn't getting any to catch it. 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:56.880 Oh Joe. 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:01.920 They ran up down down in the red zone. Hold on, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.960 what's the guy? Let me see Tucker. They run it 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.360 like a Tampa two. Yes, sir, Me and my quarterback 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.960 would say, look, probably in this area if we run 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.280 this play, I'm not gonna get over the top of him. 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.280 Put it on my back shoulder. Yeah, because he running 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.480 to a point. Oh Joe, I can't get on the 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:19.960 top of my run out of the end zone. Hell, 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:20.800 I'll be in Henderson. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.800 Oh yeah, hey, but hold on you in the first half, right, yes, yes, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.199 see that Do you. 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.440 Know what that comes with chemistry, that comes with rhythm. 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.760 Could you see where Geno Smith threw it? Because Gino Geno, yes, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.480 back shoulder, Yes right, I'm. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.320 Throwing it on your back shoulder and he just kept running. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.640 So I mean if you threw the ball the right way, 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:40.840 it would have hit the line back in the back 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:41.280 of the head. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.000 But see that's like, okay, that's it. Man. 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.400 What your thinking? I don't know because Ochoe didn't tell 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.520 me what he was thinking. Okay, Geno need to relay 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.840 that to him. He don't do no good for Gino 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.880 to throw it on his back shoulder because the guy 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.480 is running it like they drew it up. He is 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.280 not vetteran enough to understand if I can't get over 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.560 the top, he's gonna fit this ball on my back shoulder. Yes, sir, 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.280 So now all I do. I'm a haul buddy, like 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.240 I'm trying to get over the top and guess what, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:08.079 I'm open. 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.320 My heels and right here and it's gonna be a touchdown. 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.080 And all to come down to, especially as a receiver. 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.360 And we saw something similar to this, the type of 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.840 throw I go, I go back to I go back 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.600 to the Jets game. Yeah, Jets game with with with 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.120 A d Mitchell. You know when they were in that. 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:29.160 It was yeah, the answer he went outside and the yeah. 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.120 Everybody saying every and obviously the dv's and trail. So 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.600 it's not a perfect ball over top. What's the best 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.240 place to put it with the dB trailing right behind him? 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.440 Put it on his back shoulder away from the dB. 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.080 That's only on his inside hip trying to catch up. 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:44.920 It's a perfect throw. Same thing here. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.400 You know, if Tucker could have could have understood. 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.599 And had y yes, yes. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.640 Had more control of his body, it would have been 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.800 an easy catch and pitch and catching. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.800 You got problem what A d Mitchell was on the 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.520 way he had his hands, have the ball this off 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.280 the ground, and you try to catch it like this, 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.600 your hands up on it like this. Now you got 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.880 to make your hands like their bucket. You can't catch 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.360 the ball cups. Guess what, even if you do catch it, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:11.800 when you hit the ground, poop, it's. 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:12.839 Gonna pop up right out. 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.560 And the funny thing, those are small nuances on Those are. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.520 Smaller luances when it comes to younger players and veterans 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.480 that you already know, yes, no, but I mean it's 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.240 unfortunate the Raiders. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.920 They need a lot on Hey they do. It's gonna be. 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.920 It's gonna be a long time because you understand how 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.600 long it takes the Bill a team, Yes, very long 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.280 time to be a competitive team where you can compete, 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.480 especially in that goddamn conference. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.680 They in, Oh you mean the division with my bold 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.199 knicks and Justin Herbert, I know what you. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:46.800 Meant A West Division? 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:47.040 Yea. 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.000 Now the thing that I look, the best thing that 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.439 happened was picked George Pickens was to get out of Pittsburgh. 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.680 He had gone comfortable. He wasn't gonna do. He needed something. 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.720 He needs, need to be somewhere where they could get 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:05.960 into football and he'd be happy. Dak can get into football. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.520 He's happy, he's playing happy, he's playing hard. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:10.800 He's tried. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:11.480 He tried. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.040 He reminds me now he ain't the same Bill, but 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.040 he reminds me the way he plays, like to every 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.920 time to caught the ball, to trying to get to 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:20.359 hit his head on the gold post. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:21.240 Every time, bye bye. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.880 Every time George Pickings, you catch hell getting him on 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:26.760 the ground. Because if you think he's just gonna go down. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.079 Oh yeah, I got if he gonna go down, No, 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:32.040 he's not. He's not going down, yep. And he's tough 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:36.040 to deal with because he has that mindset that, oh 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:37.520 I know, Oh you're scared. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.520 I can tell you scared. You're back at all. You scared. 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.320 Hey, give me a smoke rock, give me give me 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.000 something quick. Let me get my hands on it. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.360 And now I take care of the rest. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:48.280 I do the rest. 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:49.120 I take it. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:49.880 I'll do the rest. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:50.400 Uh. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:55.079 He's been. He's been everything that the Cowboys could have 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:59.040 hoped for and more and more, yes and more. Now, look, 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.080 the record is what the record is. But he's played exceptionally. 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:03.959 Well, phenomenal. 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.360 He's played really really well. And that threw the ball well. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.800 And and you know, Dak can have these games if 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.120 you don't pressure that. Now, he's gonna pick you apart 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.319 because he got the weapons to pick you upon it. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.240 I mean, it's it's shooting fish in the barrow. He 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.720 got picked, he got a CD, he got Ferguson, Jake Ferguson. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.920 I like Jake Ferguson. He's not a guy that that 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.240 got great speed. But Dak trusts him. Is where he's 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.560 supposed to be. He makes good cat he makes a 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.320 good catches. He's a solid tight end. Is he McBride? 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.720 No? No? Is he the port To No? 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.880 Is he Loveland in Chicago? No? 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.320 Is he Warning and and and at the Colts? 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:42.400 No. 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.960 But he's a very good tight end for what they 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:50.600 need because they run everything outside in a lot of 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.600 those teams run things inside out. With that being said, 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.360 oh Joe, uh, what do you like about what you 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:56.320 saw from the cowboys? 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:56.760 Man? 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.640 They looked good on And then the first the first 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.120 thing I wanted to talk about. I couldn't wait to 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.840 actually get on the show. And when I said, after 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.800 that conversation with with number three, after that conversation that 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.840 I had with three, and I told you you wouldn't 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.120 have no more problems. I told you wouldn't have no 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.480 more problems. Especially I'm about on the field. On the 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.680 field stuff, now off the field stuff you have to 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.800 be able to control. Because I got him to understand, 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.320 I say, young boy, you got to remember. And I 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.720 use examples of other players that were stellar. I use 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.520 examples of other receivers that have anything. 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:27.280 You know. 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.480 Hell, I even use myself at one point to kind 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.120 of get it through his head and get it through 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.120 his head early. You know, when you have a team 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.960 giving up on you with it a special talent like yourself, 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.800 all right, that door starting to close. And that might 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.200 not have closed all the way, but it kind of 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.960 lurts other teams, like, listen, if we can't deal with them, man, 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:46.560 y'all can take them as good as you are. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.080 You know what that means. You know what that means. Now, 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:50.400 you're not gonna get too many chances. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.600 You're not gonna get that much great because there's always 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:56.040 somebody else they're willing to deal with that's not gonna 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.680 bring that kind of problem the spite despite. 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.800 How good you are. So he's been. This is what 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.440 he's always been on. Oh for sure, this is what 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:05.160 he's always been. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.840 So I'm just glad he can flourish, he can shine, 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.360 he's playing, he's smiling, he's. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:14.000 Still he's still in the NFL. Young boy, he's still that. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.080 You know, he didn't lose that. 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:17.560 That's who he is, and. 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.400 I love it he didn't. I think he didn't lose 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:21.360 what make some special. 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.520 I think the worst thing, the worst thing that happened 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.120 to him is that he went to Pittsburgh who has 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.320 a history of receivers. 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.960 Behaving in this manner. Go back and look at it. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.360 We don't have to call any names, but you go 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.680 back and look at the Steelers history, at the wide 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.600 receiver position. There's a reason why most of them don't 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.960 get second contracts if you really look at it, if 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.120 you really think about it, Old Joe, only one has 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:48.480 really gotten a second contract. 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.120 That's Hines Ward Ab got a second contract. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:57.800 And then yeah, but they let plaques go San Antonio Holmes. 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:02.440 They let Mike what's the fast Mike Wallace, Mike Wallace, Mike, 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:07.359 Emanuel Sanders and Manuel was a picture. But you know, 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.280 they just had too many. They had too many guys. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.400 They had to make a decision. Number game, numbers game, 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.760 number game, some guys. But I was like, damn, what 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.919 is it in Pittsburgh that y'all back? But he's figured 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.840 it out. I'm glad you had a conversation with him. 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.400 I'm glad he realized, like, Bro, you can see your grandkids, 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.800 grandkids up for the rest of their. 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.520 Life and then you're good and you straight, and. 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.520 That's what he's Hey, this is exactly what it's gonna 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.639 be too. Now I can't wait to the off season. 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.840 Oh yeah, I can't wait to the off season. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:34.280 Now. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.040 I know Cowboys fans. I know Cowboys fans are loving Pick. 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.000 I know they're loving what he's doing, what he's doing there. 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.840 But when when I think about it, I would love 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.359 for him to go to go to another team, no 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.320 disrespect Cowboys fan. To go to another team to get 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.000 as much as he possibly can, as much as he's 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.480 possibly can to a quarterback, to a team that is 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.760 efficient offensively, that can also get in the ball where he. 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.840
