Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I'm gonna let you know
Speaker 3: what's going on. I'm gonna give honest takes. Because Game
Speaker 3: six was crazy. We got bullied out there and little
Speaker 3: Caesars Arena Detroit came out there and Bald K Cunningham
Speaker 3: all of his other talent too, my man, what's my
Speaker 3: man name?
Speaker 2: Avery? Listen.
Speaker 1: They was tapping up each other like with their elbows,
Speaker 1: and it was eating that little season piece.
Speaker 2: They tried to get physical quarter. They was doing that
Speaker 2: to y'all.
Speaker 3: Game seven, we won by thirty one. Donovan Mitchell came
Speaker 3: out there dishing the ball to ever the way he
Speaker 3: needed to. Jared Allen Mobiley James Harden strews.
Speaker 2: How long was they in the bonus. How long was
Speaker 2: they in the bonus? What you mean the whole damn game?
Speaker 2: Hope de bo.
Speaker 3: Listen, don't worry about y'll flopping, man, Listen, we were
Speaker 3: not flopping. We was out there being more physical. We
Speaker 3: defense up rebound turnovers. Jared Allen was hooping, mobiley hooping
Speaker 3: when our big man are balling, and Dom was getting
Speaker 3: them involved early. He had more assists than you know.
Speaker 3: He averaged three assist a game. He had stop.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 3: So long story short, we're gonna we're up against the
Speaker 3: Knicks now, debo, and that's a whole nothing, that's a whole.
Speaker 1: Can you just please acknowledge the fact that that there
Speaker 1: was some flopping on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all I need. That's that's that's the NBA
Speaker 2: that they were looking at.
Speaker 3: Everybody's doing. Put everybody all that arm. Everybody's pushing off
Speaker 3: to get open. Everybody's just doing this joint like it's nothing.
Speaker 3: There's stiff arming on offense. It's the offensive game. There's
Speaker 3: so many offensive files every time they're pushing off every play.
Speaker 3: So we're doing the same thing. That's why I'm domin Mitchell.
Speaker 3: He'll be doing this push off. James Harden does his
Speaker 3: push off.
Speaker 1: I just don't want no king cut a haam does
Speaker 1: the joint to you.
Speaker 2: Gotta puts a foul on them one time. But Kate
Speaker 2: Canham does it.
Speaker 3: And I'm not trying to get shake Gilger, Alexander, Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 3: The ball is everybody there using the push off of
Speaker 3: the left arm.
Speaker 2: For sure. I'm not mad at it, but I don't
Speaker 2: like it.
Speaker 3: James Harden, when you shoot your left hand, trade ball,
Speaker 3: don't get your feet out, don't.
Speaker 2: Kick your feet out and just flop it. That's where
Speaker 2: I started going Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Before I start going Cleveland, let me tell you this, though,
Speaker 1: what's up. You gotta meet SGA.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be.
Speaker 3: Smoking the sea, It's gonna be smoking the city. I
Speaker 3: completely understand this. I'm just saying, we're gonna get We
Speaker 3: have to beat We gotta beat these knicks. The knicks
Speaker 3: are nice. Brunton is nice. I don't know if I
Speaker 3: could do this. I swear, I don't know if I
Speaker 3: could do this. It's something to me.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm telling you. Just get ready to watch this.
Speaker 3: There's four teams left. We got the Spurs playing. Okay, see,
Speaker 3: Spurs were beating them during the regular season, So it's
Speaker 3: gonna be a battle over there. Whoever makes it from
Speaker 3: the West their favorite to win it, regardless us versus
Speaker 3: the Knicks. You are us, Deebo, you are us. You
Speaker 3: are to Cleveland. You are with me Me Donovan Mittrick
Speaker 3: is okay, I'm gonna go with that. I'm gonna try.

Speaker 1: gonna try. I'm gonna go with it. I'm let's go
Speaker 1: cast let's go go team basketball.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say nothing about what happened when they
Speaker 1: showed the whole script and all that, because they got
Speaker 1: mad at me because I told you the scripts and
Speaker 1: then they changed it up and then they showed the world.
Speaker 2: And that's why listen, I'm gonna tell you. Listen, listen.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, man, that's why they got blew out
Speaker 1: so bad. They was like, oh, now y'all changed the
Speaker 1: script on it. They was just you know, they was
Speaker 1: they was like deflated, bro. They was like, now we
Speaker 1: gotta lose. They was trying to they we supposed keep
Speaker 1: it close, but they didn't. It was like thirty one now.
Speaker 2: So I'm just seeing you because they gave us. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying.
Speaker 3: So it's saying, Bro, we had to come and put
Speaker 3: belt to I'm just saying, indeed, it's all good.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, man, that's sometimes.
Speaker 1: That's how it's happened, man, because I ain't even gonna
Speaker 1: lie to you, man, like, yes, I had to follow
Speaker 1: the script one time, man lost you know, ain't you know?
Speaker 2: Zebo, you're lying. I'm just saying you're lying. You lying.
Speaker 3: They ain't telling you what to do out there. You're
Speaker 3: trying to win, don't see you, bo, That's what I'm telling.
Speaker 3: You get the line sometimes, and that's what's your credibility
Speaker 3: to get to get in favor, because that's not you.
Speaker 2: You get the line. You be telling the truth. He's
Speaker 2: babbling in the line.
Speaker 1: Listen, man, anybody think this ship is scripting you out
Speaker 1: of your rabbit ass?
Speaker 2: Mine? Not it? Nobody, Come on, man, nobody.
Speaker 3: I'm you cannot telling me that I'm trying to get
Speaker 3: a pick?
Speaker 2: Well the script? Tell me? Can I get to pick
Speaker 2: every play? I'm getting beat on any play.
Speaker 3: If I'm getting beat on any play, I'm not going
Speaker 3: with the script.
Speaker 2: I'm not going with that. No, he's gonna have to show, no, Joe.
Speaker 1: Now we can finally stop talking about all the people
Speaker 1: talking about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: What do you gonna do? What he ain't gonna do here?
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, he's here signed one year deal or will
Speaker 1: side in one year deal with the Stellers. They say
Speaker 1: the deal is worth up to twenty five million, including
Speaker 1: a base salary between twenty two and twenty three million,
Speaker 1: a few million and then centers. The Stealers Volunteery off
Speaker 1: season practices begin tru Day. Aaron Rodgers is expected to
Speaker 1: be there. Actually then it started? Did it start already?
Speaker 1: Should have started already? Did he come? We go find out, Yes,
Speaker 1: Rogers didn't commit to the Stellers. I guess until last year.
Speaker 1: Well we knew after that mandatory mini camp in June
Speaker 1: this year he will be there early.
Speaker 2: Joe, Yes, come on, bro, come on? First started? How
Speaker 2: you feeling, Joe? Joe?
Speaker 1: When we first started, man, we told them boys, we said,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is not coming back for the same price
Speaker 1: that he played for. Yeah, yeah, Okay, he outplayed that
Speaker 1: contract in without him our one, we don't get a
Speaker 1: five hundred record.
Speaker 2: So man rightfully wants to be paid the value that
Speaker 2: reflects that.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm or I was a thought process that like yo.
Speaker 1: When he went on the Pat McAfee show, he's telling me,
Speaker 1: like yo, they ain't gave me nothing to look at.
Speaker 1: They ain't showed me nothing, So I have nothing to
Speaker 1: make a decision on on you know what I'm going
Speaker 1: to do as far as my decision to be the
Speaker 1: steller blah blah blah blah. So the Stillers went and said, hey, Man,
Speaker 1: we go put this special, this special tender on you
Speaker 1: and you can get fifteen millions. And I said, then,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers not coming back for fifteen million. And I
Speaker 1: believe one that before he came back with fifteen million,
Speaker 1: he will retire before.
Speaker 2: He did that.
Speaker 1: But what that deal did was it made Aaron have
Speaker 1: to come to the table and they had to start talking. Okay,
Speaker 1: they had discussions because now the Stillers gave him a number.
Speaker 1: He's like, yo, I ain't really you know the number
Speaker 1: that I'm looking for? The number am im able to
Speaker 1: come back for. Okay, they sit down, they talk with
Speaker 1: your bottom line.
Speaker 2: Still say all right, what's your top line?
Speaker 1: You know? And then some way they come together and
Speaker 1: they came to what the number was that they've agreed upon.
Speaker 2: He gets he wants and we get what we want.
Speaker 1: But with Aaron Beck, it's a little added bonus. Now
Speaker 1: young one drew out who didn't any time with Hey,
Speaker 1: he gets tied way right now. He gets to be
Speaker 1: under the veteran leadership, the experience you know, of a
Speaker 1: future Hall of fame along with that, so plus and
Speaker 1: the negative. But well, Howard, he gets another year, but
Speaker 1: it's going to stow down his on field game time
Speaker 1: and experience and all that. But the knowledge and information
Speaker 1: that you know he's going to get or acquire, like
Speaker 1: having him for another year, I feel like that's priceless.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sure, you don't have to rush it. You don't
Speaker 2: have to rush it.
Speaker 1: Right right now, Aaron Rodgers obviously, because it's the best
Speaker 1: opportunity to get the most out of our team. Yes,
Speaker 1: and potentially case lightning in the by potentially case lightning
Speaker 1: in the box. Great, okay, which will give guys like
Speaker 1: uh Cam Cam Hayward, uh Chris Boswell, j whyt Jalen
Speaker 1: Ramsey opportunity to get a championship.
Speaker 2: That was saying, I know they want it.
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's the only accolade that some of
Speaker 1: them are missing in their careers.
Speaker 2: So as for me, I love yeah.
Speaker 1: Like I've been telling y'all, listen, I wouldn't worried about
Speaker 1: what was gonna happen on the offensive side because we
Speaker 1: were going to be able to.
Speaker 2: Be protective and run the ball well.
Speaker 1: So we'll be able to protect the ball, don't turn
Speaker 1: the ball over, and to run the ball. So now
Speaker 1: we got a rod for show for show for show.
Speaker 1: What he did last year? Okay, at forty two, forty three,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, forty two turns forty three at.
Speaker 2: Forty two turned forty three.
Speaker 1: Listen, if Aaron Rodgers is able to get out there,
Speaker 1: brother and catch that lightning in the by and win
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl championship and what is more likely than
Speaker 1: not his last year in the NFL, BRO, that's story book.
Speaker 2: That's what you're looking for, Bro, he looking for the
Speaker 2: story book. Man, Hey, Joe, I will say this.
Speaker 1: Though, Yes, if it happens and Aaron does win another championship,
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be difficult. If not damn
Speaker 1: near impossible for him to retire, especially if they win
Speaker 1: it in the fashion in which I believe the record
Speaker 1: should be. Because now in your head you have to
Speaker 1: be thinking, it's an opportunity to repeat.
Speaker 2: Okay, you know this was okay.
Speaker 3: De bo Okay, I hear him with the repeating, I'm
Speaker 3: hearing everything. I'm okay. I'm trying to go with this
Speaker 3: this year. First you go into the future when the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, we're going best case scenario.
Speaker 2: We were all talking the same talk right now.
Speaker 3: I'm super happy that finally Aaron Rodgers is there's no
Speaker 3: there's no gray still is the whole time new they
Speaker 3: have they were talking with Aaron Rodgers, they were in communications,
Speaker 3: they had to plan going on so and and my
Speaker 3: standpoint as far as like doing it with the media,
Speaker 3: answering all these questions, just trying to bring stuff up,
Speaker 3: but they the Steelers were never wavering in what they felt.
Speaker 3: They were always expecting him and helping him to sign early.
Speaker 2: But they were always in.
Speaker 3: Communication, always never waivered, bringing in talent, doing everything they
Speaker 3: had to do. So now, just for me in an
Speaker 3: organizational standpoint, kudos to the Steelers. He signed earlier than
Speaker 3: he did last year. We're asking all of these questions
Speaker 3: about I'm like, he didn't come none of the OTA's,
Speaker 3: none of these camps. He was right before training camp
Speaker 3: in June. So now for them to it was just
Speaker 3: a lot going on. So for him to sign before
Speaker 3: OTA's optional OTAs, this is before he did last year,
Speaker 3: this is a whole earlier situation. So now it's a
Speaker 3: better situation than it was last season. All of that
Speaker 3: quarterback controversy taught the stealers were in their same position
Speaker 3: when you talk about the money, and I wasn't really
Speaker 3: thinking about it as much at the time, but a
Speaker 3: rod when they sent them out to fifteen and then
Speaker 3: him to get the twenty two with the option up
Speaker 3: to twenty five, that makes him the seventeenth highest paid
Speaker 3: quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2: And when you look at it, I'm like, perfect, that's fine.
Speaker 3: Everybody else under Aaron Rodgers it is on their rookie contracts,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Besides, Milik Willis is the
Speaker 3: only when he's making twenty two million dollars a year.
Speaker 3: Ay Rod signed basically the same thing with the sentence
Speaker 3: to go up to twenty five. So everybody else is
Speaker 3: under that. So it's just that's the money speaks.
Speaker 2: For what it is.
Speaker 3: We're gonna get a rod at twenty seventeenth highest paid
Speaker 3: quarterback in the league. You got dudes like it goes,
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 3: Jared Goff, Rock Pardy, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes, Daniel Jones making forty four, sam
Speaker 3: Donold making thirty three, Baker Mayfield making thirty three. So
Speaker 3: all those quarterbacks and then you make the jump from
Speaker 3: there to Fernando Mendoza making fourteen million dollars a year.
Speaker 3: So that twenty five at a quarterback for Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 3: that's not on a rookie deal. All those other guys smooth,
Speaker 3: they're making thirty three. He's making twenty two with the
Speaker 3: option of twenty five.
Speaker 2: Boom. Now we have Aaron Rodgers on this team.
Speaker 3: And when you're saying best case scenarios, they were building
Speaker 3: this team to be successful without Aaron Rodgers. Yes, we
Speaker 3: have him here now on the team, knowing that we're
Speaker 3: going to have him with Michael Pittman Jr. With DK
Speaker 3: Metcalf with fire move well with Mount Washington. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying with Jalen Warren at the running back,
Speaker 3: with Breck o'dondle with the linemen.
Speaker 2: Now that we have, with the new.
Speaker 3: Parts that we have on defense, we're making sure the
Speaker 3: special teams is going to be with the special teams
Speaker 3: is going to be the vision for the Steelers now
Speaker 3: is you know, obviously with the talent we had last year,
Speaker 3: is we're running back with new talent, with new pieces
Speaker 3: with Aaron Rodgers, knowing that our offense is going to
Speaker 3: be some of these plays, but we can go down
Speaker 3: the field a little more if our running game is legit.
Speaker 3: Now these individual matchups, he's going to be able to
Speaker 3: throw those one on ones. Dk, your year wasn't as
Speaker 3: good as you wanted to be. You're ready to perform too.
Speaker 3: I understand. You know, you got some things to prove.
Speaker 3: So the names that we have on the team and
Speaker 3: the talent that we have are more and willing and
Speaker 3: capable to go and perform and do some special things.
Speaker 3: So now it's like, all right, bet we got a
Speaker 3: rod on your last I'm thinking for me, if you're saying,
Speaker 3: we win the.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, we'll see what happens next year.
Speaker 3: This is more for me, final hurrah a rod You're
Speaker 3: going on, you're gonna be forty three this year if
Speaker 3: you do come back.
Speaker 2: I mean, we do have younger.
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks, we have pieces, we have a team that's building.
Speaker 3: So eventually, organizational wise, you will want to have these
Speaker 3: One of these younger dudes come up because he's not
Speaker 3: gonna be able to play for but so long you
Speaker 3: say one more year after this, but it's like, then
Speaker 3: win is Drew, that's gonna be his second year. Following
Speaker 3: it's gonna be Will Allen's third year sitting behind him.
Speaker 3: So it's like, when we're ever gonna be able to
Speaker 3: you got to see these dudes to know what they
Speaker 3: can do. The same time, building the team doing a
Speaker 3: great job. So I'm with if with this team now
Speaker 3: with Aaron Rodgers, sign it. If I'm Cam Heyward, if
Speaker 3: I'm Jalen Ramsey, you know what I'm saying. If I'm
Speaker 3: the older Vets dude.
Speaker 2: That are in those years right now to win.
Speaker 3: Now, when the last year's are our deal, we're trying
Speaker 3: to win organizational wise, that's when you want to have
Speaker 3: for your vets. We're trying to win. Stellers are never
Speaker 3: really a down your low year. You're always still rebuilding.
Speaker 3: If we lose it Aaron Rodgers and then we can
Speaker 3: end up with t J. Watt, we can be able
Speaker 3: to move some parts, but like we're always having, we
Speaker 3: don't really have to rebuild when you have a team,
Speaker 3: we are always trying to get those players around. So
Speaker 3: I'm finally I'm super excited for the Stellers because now
Speaker 3: it's no it's no Gray, it's no low. We're going
Speaker 3: to We're going to have this team. Players are going
Speaker 3: to have to ball, the new coaches, the system, the defense,
Speaker 3: everybody's gonna have to jail. Now with that that that
Speaker 3: one question was is.
Speaker 2: Going to be well? Is going to be out of?
Speaker 2: Like do we like them? Coach McCarthy likes both of them.
Speaker 3: Now we're figuring out who's going to be who's gonna
Speaker 3: be missing out of that room.
Speaker 2: Now we got four quarterbacks, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So there's different things there, But the biggest point that
Speaker 3: we got is Aaron Rodgers is signed now officially, there's
Speaker 3: no what are they waiting on him?
Speaker 2: When is he coming.
Speaker 3: He didn't sign last year until the training camp. We
Speaker 3: got him now early, so good for the Stealers.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no question, brother.
Speaker 1: And speaking of that, the quarterback controversy with Aaron Rodgers back,
Speaker 1: one of the other three quarterbacks will be the odd
Speaker 1: man out, brotherly, So I guess according to what's his name,
Speaker 1: Mike floor Florio, he believes that the odd man out
Speaker 1: will be Will Howard, and his reasoning is the Stealers
Speaker 1: supposedly have strong beliefs in the quarterbacks that they had
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph and Will Howard. But he said, they then
Speaker 1: and go and draft a quarterback in the third round, Drowler.
Speaker 1: And his belief is that Drew Owler, since he was drafted,
Speaker 1: that he will be there. And Mason Rudolph, since he's
Speaker 1: a veteran that you need to have, you know, as
Speaker 1: a backup if he gets hurt. That's why it'll be
Speaker 1: Alar and h or why he believes it'll be Alar
Speaker 1: and Rudolph.
Speaker 2: Joe, what do you think who do you think it
Speaker 2: will be?
Speaker 3: Between Howard and Rudolph. I think that it will be
Speaker 3: Will Howard. Yeah, I like I like Mason, but you
Speaker 3: know he's had his stints with the Steelers. He got
Speaker 3: drafted their third round, He had his chances to see
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, maximize what he would be
Speaker 3: able to do while he was out there. I know
Speaker 3: that we're building a team. It's about the parts around him.
Speaker 3: But I would see last year when he came out
Speaker 3: there too.
Speaker 1: Just it's likely came out there and back David.
Speaker 2: I don't like to talk crazy about it, so I
Speaker 2: think he may he.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he could be out of the league,
Speaker 3: but talking crazy.
Speaker 2: No no, no, that's not talking crazy. No no, no, you're not.
Speaker 2: You're not. You're not. You're not. You're not. You're not.
Speaker 2: So you're we're saying the same thing.
Speaker 3: I think that he is not going to be a
Speaker 3: suitable starting quarterback if you're trying to win a championship.
Speaker 2: He is a suit.
Speaker 3: He could be a backup somewhere in the league for sure,
Speaker 3: But with the Steelers. Now, let's see, Drew, you drafted him,
Speaker 3: you got you gave Mason start See an opportunity to
Speaker 3: get out there and show what he could do.
Speaker 2: We know, I understand the backup goom with Will Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm wong with the younger guys that you drafted. At
Speaker 2: least see what you got, because I feel like you
Speaker 2: know what you got.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you in this. I think, uh, I
Speaker 1: think I think Mike done. I think he might have
Speaker 1: I think he might have sniffed some glue or put
Speaker 1: too much emphasis in the you know, Mike flooryal put
Speaker 1: too much infatience in the veteran quarterback status.
Speaker 2: Like this dude, he got what eight years?
Speaker 1: He got eight years, he got eighteen starts, he nine
Speaker 1: to nine, sixty three seven career you know, completion percentage.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not hard to replace.
Speaker 1: That's average twenty eight touchdowns, twenty interceptions.
Speaker 2: That's not hard to replace. Like and then, like you said,
Speaker 2: last time he got in the game, first thing he
Speaker 2: did was turn the rock over.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: Like, we're talking about passer rate and what.
Speaker 1: Is it, like an eighty four, eighty five something like that,
Speaker 1: Like that's all average numbers. And he has been in
Speaker 1: the league for eight years as a career backup and
Speaker 1: he has not went any further.
Speaker 2: You're telling me that you're going to keep him.
Speaker 1: Opposed to two guys that you don't know what they
Speaker 1: can do. And you've seen this is his top. He's
Speaker 1: not going to get any better.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: And then from what he did like last year, Hell,
Speaker 1: he ain't really what was he in Tennessee? I think
Speaker 1: he will nine interception nine touchdown, Like we're not getting
Speaker 1: anything from him. He's not going to be enough, especially
Speaker 1: once Aaron is gone, Like you're keeping him, you're getting
Speaker 1: rid of one of the other guys saying, Oh, I
Speaker 1: don't need to see any kind of development from you.
Speaker 1: Ain't seen nothing from Will. You ain't seen nothing like
Speaker 1: you ain't seen nothing from Drew And you're gonna top
Speaker 1: them off for a dude that been there eight years.
Speaker 1: And this is what he's given you. Mike Florida is
Speaker 1: tripping tripping. Yeah, I'm with you on that. He tripping tripping, Bro.
Speaker 1: You gotta get him, dudes a chunk. You gotta get
Speaker 1: a younger guy as a chance. Yeah, see what you
Speaker 1: got that veteran stuff don't matter if your quarterback is
Speaker 1: not playing like a veteran.
Speaker 3: They at that time, A years is a years is
Speaker 3: a good amount in a long time.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: And this college numbers was crazy, Like his college numbers
Speaker 1: was crazy crazy And this is what yeo, he can't
Speaker 1: even just go and just manage this thing. Bro, he
Speaker 1: gonna turn it over. Protect the rock, Bro.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: I'm with it, d BO. I'm with you because we
Speaker 3: said what we said. I'm I yes, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I kick it with me. So I'm like, when we're
Speaker 3: saying that it's just not his time for the Stellers anymore.
Speaker 3: It's when you're talking about the quarterback position, you're going
Speaker 3: to be out there. You see, we've had film, We've
Speaker 3: had legitimate film. That's what I was looking forward to
Speaker 3: seeing on Drew to see what it looks like out there.
Speaker 3: You got to give him a chance, to give him
Speaker 3: some playtime. And then when you get out there and
Speaker 3: you see what it looks, believe it or like, maybe
Speaker 3: it's not the right time there. So this seven year
Speaker 3: stint in one organization, for sure, it is good enough
Speaker 3: time to see if you've done it.
Speaker 1: For show, for the show. Look here, man coach Bryan
Speaker 1: Man deon Sanders. He warns the rest of the league
Speaker 1: that the Browns are coming. The Browns are coming. The
Speaker 1: Browns are coming. He said, look at the rookie class
Speaker 1: last year, the rookie class this season. Who I know
Speaker 1: they have played who I know they have played. They haven't.
Speaker 1: I haven't played. They haven't played put on put on
Speaker 1: the grass. But they're building something that is tremendous and
Speaker 1: they're not too far away. Of Course, they need to stable.
Speaker 1: They need stability at the quarterback position. Of course, they
Speaker 1: need stability on the offensive line. Everything else. To me,
Speaker 1: they've got it. They got it, Joe, what do you
Speaker 1: think they got it? I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 2: You in a.
Speaker 1: Stability at the quarterback position, in the offensive line, that's it,
Speaker 1: true state everything else I would have, I would say
Speaker 1: that they got something to it.
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: He also went off on uh the Miles Garrett trade talks.
Speaker 1: He said, he said they got a killer on defense.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of y'all talking about trading and getting rid
Speaker 1: of me. They don't. That don't make no sense to me.
Speaker 1: That's a once in a lifetime man. That's a that's
Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime man that you don't see
Speaker 1: no more.
Speaker 2: You don't.
Speaker 1: I don't get rid of that. I don't get rid
Speaker 1: of that unless I get Unless I get your mom
Speaker 1: and daddy, your uncle, cousin, and everybody in the trade
Speaker 1: for it, because that's a grown man. That's a winner.
Speaker 1: That's a winner. Joe, the Browns are coming, Joe. What
Speaker 1: are the Browns coming to? What are they coming to?
Speaker 2: Joe? What Pribly said? They coming? You think they're coming?
Speaker 2: I do? Where they coming to? I do? I think
Speaker 2: this is the thing Browns.
Speaker 3: Like I always said, defense is not We've always been
Speaker 3: able to have good defenses. Our defense is always ranked
Speaker 3: within the top ten always. So the problem is when
Speaker 3: we're saying quarterback stability, all these teams have been good.
Speaker 2: You've gotta have a quarterback. We've had so many quarterbacks
Speaker 2: through the trajectory of the Browns.
Speaker 3: When we did end up having Baker Mayfield for that
Speaker 3: short time, he was solid. We were getting players around him,
Speaker 3: Andrew Berry and then were bringing in talent.
Speaker 2: They brought it in Jarvis Landry.
Speaker 3: They were bringing in Odell Beckham Junior on the offensive
Speaker 3: side of the ball to help us actually score points,
Speaker 3: get points on the ball. When we get points on
Speaker 3: the ball, the defense is always. It's never if you lose,
Speaker 3: because if you give up one play, the game is over. No,
Speaker 3: you got to be able to have an offense that
Speaker 3: you go to and they're looking like when Wile was
Speaker 3: playing for the Steelers and I left the Browns, Antonio
Speaker 3: Brown and Ben Roethlisberger, when they came off a drive,
Speaker 3: they expected to score every single drive. Like when they
Speaker 3: came off they were upset that they didn't score. On defense,
Speaker 3: you wanted to do three and out every time to
Speaker 3: get the ball back to the gowns. Where you're on defense,
Speaker 3: and you continue to get three and outs and you
Speaker 3: continue to get good field position and give them the
Speaker 3: ball back and you get nothing, that's demoralizing because it
Speaker 3: makes it feel like defense you got to continue the ball.
Speaker 2: Out in your offense is just like not in factor.
Speaker 3: If you have an offense that they want to look
Speaker 3: at the same way that you're.
Speaker 2: Looking at it.
Speaker 3: When they come off the field actually disappointed that they
Speaker 3: didn't put points on the board and they're trying to
Speaker 3: figure it out, there's.
Speaker 2: Nothing the defense got to go say, you.
Speaker 3: Want to get them the ball back immediately so they
Speaker 3: can go score points. So that just situation is a
Speaker 3: completely different situation. So I'm saying the Browns are never
Speaker 3: far away because your defense is getting the ball back,
Speaker 3: they're creating turnovers, they're making things happen special teams. Wasn't
Speaker 3: that good last year? When you got good defense and
Speaker 3: good special teams. You're playing a field position game. You
Speaker 3: want your offense to be competent, be able to get
Speaker 3: out there, get a field goal, don't turn it over,
Speaker 3: don't go backwards, don't look crazy, you know.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So when you have an offense that's really potent, they're
Speaker 3: trying to go score every time. That's something that when
Speaker 3: I went to the Pittsburgh Steelers, I was like, Wow,
Speaker 3: this is crazy, because if you give up a touchdown,
Speaker 3: you don't feel like you lost the game. It's all right, guys,
Speaker 3: come on when we about to go score, and now
Speaker 3: y'all go get the ball back and then we can
Speaker 3: go run this thing up. You know what I'm saying, Like, nah,
Speaker 3: like they got your back. They patted me on the back.
Speaker 3: When you like, you're like, oh okay, all right, bet
Speaker 3: that's my back. You felt like you lost the game
Speaker 3: because you don't feel like you should ever get scored
Speaker 3: on defense and on offense. You should feel like they
Speaker 3: should never stop you. That's just your mindset. So when
Speaker 3: I was with the Browns, that was never the I
Speaker 3: will hope that's their mindset. But I'm looking like y'all
Speaker 3: aren't scoring. They know they're not scoring. And the defense
Speaker 3: we're trying to continue to we got to score, put
Speaker 3: them in position to score, make something happen. We're trying
Speaker 3: to punch stuff out like we're out there.
Speaker 2: Trying to ball.
Speaker 3: So when I hear in Coach Prime, it's a team
Speaker 3: where if you got an offense, now you got your door,
Speaker 3: and not just saying he was a quarterback is running
Speaker 3: a companent offense that's trying.
Speaker 2: To go get points.
Speaker 3: He wants to score every single drive, knowing it's not possible.
Speaker 3: That's what you gotta wheel it in. Sometimes j downs
Speaker 3: are good. Let's get a field goal. That's great. You
Speaker 3: go down there, don't turn the ball over. Get this
Speaker 3: good field position. We pin them down. Now, defense is
Speaker 3: out there. You're playing from the two, you're playing inside
Speaker 3: the five. We got our earspin back. We're trying to
Speaker 3: get safeties. You know what I'm saying. It's like a
Speaker 3: team game that happens there. So when I'm here Coach Prime,
Speaker 3: it's like they're building something. Yes, if you can get
Speaker 3: a competent offense with a legit quarterback that's trying to
Speaker 3: go score every drive. Now we're speaking the different language
Speaker 3: because the defense not changing. Miles Garrett, Denzel Award. They're
Speaker 3: always out there hunting. They're always hunting. But if they
Speaker 3: had a quarterback that was out there on the offensive
Speaker 3: side hunting the same way they hunting. Now you're going
Speaker 3: in there with a team, you feel like I'm walking
Speaker 3: in here with a fully loaded clip like defense. We
Speaker 3: good offense, y'all good, y'all could go score thirty. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, and really believe it. And they
Speaker 3: think we about to go take them up top. We
Speaker 3: about to go run this ball down their throat. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, and Junie believe it and go
Speaker 3: do it. So when I'm saying, you go get an
Speaker 3: offensive line, you build that grit, you build that team
Speaker 3: like that's what it is.
Speaker 2: So they're not far you. We're not getting blown out.
Speaker 3: But it's like, dude, get an offense, having special teams. Defense,
Speaker 3: keep balling, keep doing what you're doing. Don't get rid
Speaker 3: of Miles Garrett because he's the reason why how defense
Speaker 3: is what our defense is. Like, you want to go
Speaker 3: get other pieces you've been doing it with the draft.
Speaker 3: You've been hitting with these pieces that we do need.
Speaker 3: So if we were to get rid of my mouse,
Speaker 3: we need a dog tackle and a dog wide receiver.
Speaker 2: That's what we're saying. Get the wife, get the kids.
Speaker 2: You need.
Speaker 3: Two dudes are gonna instantly make our offense just as
Speaker 3: good as our defense is. So I'm not against what
Speaker 3: Prime is saying now as you sound like I'm I'm
Speaker 3: a Browns fan obviously, because when the draft they drafting
Speaker 3: the wrong people. I'm like this, no, we should have
Speaker 3: drafted the receivers and we needed alignment, and we.
Speaker 2: Drafted we would draft some defensive players. That's not what
Speaker 2: we need. Now.
Speaker 3: Our defense is looking great and we're still not competent
Speaker 3: on offense. So trying to build a nice offense, I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: you're making the right moves. We're getting the right pieces.
Speaker 3: I like, schador, sha door, don't go out here and.
Speaker 2: Mess it up.
Speaker 3: Give me an offense that can get twenty four points.
Speaker 3: Defense ain't gonna give up that many, so we can
Speaker 3: win more games than we lose.
Speaker 2: I'm listening what he's saying.
Speaker 3: He doesn't sound crazy when you look at it like that,
Speaker 3: but when you instead of Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 2: That what you mean? They all are in the right direction.
Speaker 1: When they label it as a uh warren and then
Speaker 1: you actually read it, it's not really a warning, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's more of a he sees
Speaker 1: the transition it is heading, so you know, the clickbait
Speaker 1: type of you warning y'all in Cleveland coming.
Speaker 2: But you but you see, but you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. True statement. But don't forget y'all, y'all.
Speaker 1: Special teams were selling too.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So that's one of
Speaker 2: the things we left out.
Speaker 1: Your special teams can lose you a whole game on
Speaker 1: five plays.
Speaker 3: You gotta make it a yes, yes, yes, mister couple
Speaker 3: miss couple of field goals and then of turn.
Speaker 2: All that, yes, yeah, go ahead, right all that. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 2: I got you. Now you're going ahead.
Speaker 3: But I'm going right, I'm gonna go ahead right with Brian.
Speaker 2: Was saying.
Speaker 1: Like and the and the trade and the miles, like, hey,
Speaker 1: that might be the best thing for them, you know,
Speaker 1: long term, that might be the best thing for them,
Speaker 1: Not because now for me, I just I don't like
Speaker 1: having to play against him twice a year.
Speaker 3: It's a personal thing. You're trying to weaken my squad,
Speaker 3: That's what that is. Do you think I care about
Speaker 3: how weak the league is? If I won the championship
Speaker 3: every year.
Speaker 1: I would give zero, zero fucks. I would not care.
Speaker 1: I would zero. I would give zero. Of course, I
Speaker 1: would want to play against the best and have your
Speaker 1: best talent. You know what I'm saying. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you a ride to the stadium if I see your
Speaker 1: car broke down.
Speaker 2: I want you, I want your best. I want you.
Speaker 1: Hey, you want us to be in the same show.
Speaker 1: But I ain't on the field no more. So I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get it with less of a heart attack
Speaker 1: and a headache.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so right now, you want the easiest path, I
Speaker 3: want the easiest path.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, I can't listen. Man. I done
Speaker 2: got back into this thing. Man, I'm up here. You know.
Speaker 1: I was trying to stay away from it for a
Speaker 1: long time, like trying to stay away. But I'm back
Speaker 1: into it now and it's it's giving me the same
Speaker 1: thing I did. What I'm playing, but I ain't even
Speaker 1: getting the check on Monday. That makes me feel better
Speaker 1: when we lose. No, you know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: just just now you getting turned up to de bo.
Speaker 1: I already feel like, you know, man, we can't.
Speaker 2: Bro we can't. We can't do no live. Man.
Speaker 1: We do a live, we do a live show, man,
Speaker 1: Like I did a live with I did a live
Speaker 1: with Ben. But I kept it. I kept it, you know,
Speaker 1: I kept it low check during the game, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I keep it. Yeah, I was in it, you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of You gotta really, you got to really
Speaker 1: bring it in. You gotta get inside, like because you
Speaker 1: feel you want to say that you can't.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. You know, you know how
Speaker 2: you know you know what I was saying when we
Speaker 2: were Yeah, you quick react. I'm quick, quick to fast,
Speaker 2: and I would say something reckless as hell too.
Speaker 1: I'm aa go back to I'm gonna go back to Manber,
Speaker 1: the one player he had about seven years ago.
Speaker 2: That's the same thing. Mm hmm h h
