Mike Thomas spoke about Aaron Rodgers today. Oh, sure.
let's take a listen to what Mike T had to say. All right.
He's a free agent. As you guys know, he came to visit last Friday.
We had a really productive day. He's been in this thing a long time.
I've been in this thing a long time. But there's no substitute for, you know, intimacy and spending time together and getting to know one another in a non-competitive environment.

And so that was really good.

But I don't have any new updates in terms of where the process is.

We'll see where it leads us.

No, certainly is it or is it not that situation?

I'm really comfortable with being unsettled this time of year, to be quite honest with you. It's about talent acquisition.
We've got two main means of acquiring talent, free agency and the draft. We multitask.
We do both. Those needs that we fulfill in free agency, we do so there, and when we don't, we fulfill it in the draft.

I just learned over the years that this time

of year, although

day-to-day can be somewhat uncomfortable,

it is a process.

Hey,

sound like a politician, don't he?

You see how he's sweating?

He's like, wait, you got no quarterback.

Yeah, yeah.

Everything he said, it sounds good. It sounds beautiful.
But in order to compete in this league, regardless of what team you are, it's 32 of them. You need a quarterback.
There's a reason why they make and command the salary that they do. There's nothing you can do without a quarterback.
And ever since Ben Roethlisberger's been gone,

even on the tail end of his career, where things

weren't

really that good.

They're being down the vine.

Yeah.

They were signed that there was slippage

and they didn't want to see it.

Right. Well, no.

I think they saw it, but they didn't want to upset him, similar to how they upset Aaron Rodgers, similar to how they upset Brett Favre. Guess what? They didn't want to do that.
In the process of upsetting him, guess what you had? You had another 10 years or 12 years of prosperity, being able to be competitive. Right.
The same thing with Aaron Rodgers. You got Jordan Love and then boom.
And you're able to be competitive.

You've got to, especially when you see the slippage.

Now, I don't agree with what Coach Belichick did with Tom Brady.

That's a totally different instance.

Because Tom Brady was still going to the Super Bowl.

They were still playing in the ALC Championship game.

Right.

But in this situation, it's totally different.

And Mike Thomas says he's comfortable with Mason Rudolph being the team starting quarterback next season that's why we brought him back I'm comfortable with that we've been there before he's very capable if you think about what he said what did he say Ocho we brought him back why the hell you let him go yeah you know listen he's a head coach you gotta say all the right things say all the right things. Remember, I just, we just talked about it.
You like when people tell you the truth. Now this man, hold on, hold on.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. What did Ocho say last night? You ain't even let me finish.
I was getting ready to, I was just getting ready to give you the example of what Mr. Hadlam just said and telling the truth, saying that we missed.
And now we got, on the next hand, we got Mike Tomlin giving us a lie. Don't tell me the beautiful lie.
Tell me the truth. We don't have a quarterback right now.
We don't. I shouldn't be unsettled.
You shouldn't be comfortable right now.

Because you haven't had a quarterback in a while.

In order to compete in the AFC North,

and to get back to the historic run that the Steelers are known for,

winning championships,

you need a goddamn quarterback.

That's it.

You know, that's why I say you sound like a politician.

What do politicians do most? The best. What are they best at? Lying to the people.
Getting you to believe in what they're saying. Knowing it's not the truth.
And I'm a fan of the Steelers. Because I love them.
The Steelers fans love me and I love the playoffs. But you need a quarterback in order to compete.
That's it. Man, he's sweating.
Mike Thomas was sweating like somebody on the Maura Povich show. You are the father.
Got him by the dog. Look, I get it.
But if Mason Rudolph was the guy, they would have never let him left the building name a quarterback that they left let leave the building and he's supposed to be the guy he's capable why I mean why didn't you do that at Ocho? you know what this tells you? do you know what this tells you? this tells you this tells you this tells you how hard it is

to come by

good quarterbacks

good

so let me

good

wait

Rex Grossman

Rex Grossman got the Bears

to the Super Bowl

yeah

we just need somebody good

yeah I don't think

you can do that now

don't turn the bubble over

and make the play

just defensively

they're gonna make

they'll make

I don't think not

we talk about the Steelers

we talk about the Steelers

yeah

what is the identity

for the Steelers

they're what

defense

Thank you. Just defensively.
They're going to make you, they'll make done. I don't think not.
We talk about the Steelers. We talk about the Steelers, huh? Yeah.
What is the identity for the Steelers? They're what? I'm not saying they just steal goddamn curtain, but they're known for their defense. If you don't have a quarterback and no defense can compete week in and week out, your defense has to play up the par.
But I'm just trying to. Ain't no quarterback walking through that room right now that's going to change the franchise.

Ain't no Joe Burrow,

ain't no Lamar Jackson.

You have a 41, 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers that might be your quarterback

and you don't know

what you're going to get

from him week to week.

You don't even know

if he's going to show up the minicamp.

He said good quarterbacks.

What good quarterbacks

do you know teams let walk out?

I mean, you let Russ lead the building building you let Justin Fields lead the building for Mason Rudolph Justin Fields Russ are no longer there and you said the best option for the Steelers moving forward was Mason Rudolph absolutely not that's That's why I say he lying like a politician. He lying like the president.
They promise you everything. And when it's time to show up and get it done, it's crickets.
Now you're putting all that pressure on Mason Rudolph and Aaron Rodgers doesn't come. Oh, you stuck.
Not only are you stuck, now you put the onus on Mason Rudolph to back up everything you said ain't nobody holding Mike Tomlin because everybody done saw we done saw a large enough sample size from Mason Rudolph we know what he is we know what he is all of a sudden he ain't finna turn into no he ain't finna have no season like, anybody, I shouldn't say he's not, because hell, nobody thought Sam Darnold was going to have the season that he had. So.
Who didn't? Who, man, the Pope, man, listen, listen, the Pope, rest his soul, could have been the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings and did what Sam Darnold did last year with Jordan Addison, Harkinson

and goddamn Justin

had I not seen Sam Darnold

I might have believed you

I tell you what

quarterback is the only goodest

important kid it takes a village and when a village is good it can hide a lot of your weaknesses true but guess what last two games of the season he reverted back to those same guys to throw to. How you look? Expectations change.
When you ain't got no expectations, it's kind of like, hey, you start seeing this girl, she starts seeing this guy, and y'all ain't got no expectation. You doing you, you doing, she doing her.
Now all of a sudden y'all come together, and now you have expectations. Oh.
Where you been? See, if you ain't got no expectations, don't nobody ask where you been. You call it, oh, it is what it is, hey.
Yeah. Hey.
We call it complications. Let me say it.
I'm one of them guys you know love is like an eclair once it goes cold it can't be reheated man wait a minute I was well you think you slick go ahead get that to me again I'm gonna use A hotel pendant You know what it is Love is like an eclair Once it goes cold It can't be reheated Woo Oh that's a good one That's a good one That's alright Hey one hey here's the thing Hocho see if it's like this here I mean even like this some can sleep in it through that crack but just imagine if the separation gets further and further. Uh-huh.
Uh-huh. I'm just saying, don't you? I'm just saying.
Listen, you got to tell me. I done had it.
You know, we take a break. Okay? Yeah.
I'm not responsible for whatever happens on this break. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.

That's why I don't take breaks.

Man, don't y'all ain't have...

I was like, hold on.

Took a break?

You know I'm doing me.

It's doing you.

Right.

Talk to me now.

Come on now.

She got mad because I was seeing...

I was like, hold on.

We not together.

But I thought you was going...

Right.

So you thought I was going to wait while you do you?

Wait, wait, wait what?

Wait who?

Shit.

Hey, wait.

Hey.

I was flagging him down.

I ain't waiting on nothing.

Hey, I called Uber.

I called Uber and catch a ride.

That's how quick I was trying to get to where I was going.

You ain't faster than me. Huh? Wait for who? Wait for what? You know how long we've been in the game, huh? I'm out the game.
Oh, I'm out the game? I'm out with you. I don't know what you're waiting for.
You laughing.

I ain't got time to play.

What did I tell you about that mountain?

20s, wasted them.

30s, wasted them.

40s, wait.

Boy, I'm about to go on the other side of the mountain.

You think I'm finna play?

What I told you about choosing who choose you.

You right about that now.

I ain't got time to play. What I told you, 2026, you.
You're right about that now. I ain't got time to play.

What I told you, 2026, I'm going to be what?

Married.

Man, you'll be a fool if you think I'm not.

You see what happened to everybody else that has gotten married?

Do you see the blessings that have been bestowed upon these individuals

that are getting married?

I bet you do that then.

Man, you man.

I see what happened to

LeBron and Kobe

rest in flow. He got married.

Jordan got married.

Josh.

And let me go to

what's them dating sites?

What's them dating sites?

You don't need no dating sites.

You don't need no dating sites.

You see?

You see I done put my band back no dating sites. You see? Huh? Hey.
You see?

You see, I done put my band back on.

I'm practicing.

Oh, you're practicing?

I'm practicing.

I'm practicing.

I'm practicing.

I think I'm thinking about popping a question maybe about maybe in the summertime.

In the summertime.

The only question I'm asking is, hey, how much y'all pay at me? and that's the only question i'm asking i don't know what you're talking about no no i wait who who gonna pay you i don't know i'm gonna get me a job hell i gotta get some jobs like you oh yeah i got yeah i got 50 level thing oh joe tyreek hill and miami dolphin seemingly patched things after a rough ending to the season, but he posted some cryptic emojis in response to trade speculation. Reek posted a handful of cryptic posts responded to trade speculation.
P-Sign? Why doesn't he just officially ask for trade? You think Tyreek is happy in Miami? I mean I would think so I think he's happy with the weather I think he's happy with no taxes I don't think he's happy with his quarterback situation yeah that's a tough one because didn't Tyreek just lead the NFL what, not just what, two years ago? Yeah, not just past year, but years before you let the league receive it. Yeah, with the same quarterback, right? Yes.
Same quarterback, so it shouldn't be any issues. It shouldn't be any issues.
And what's been the issue with the quarterback? Oh, he's been injured. Oh, okay, okay.
I see what you're saying. That's tough.
That's tough. I'm not sure how Tyreek is feeling.
I've talked to him on numerous occasions, but I like to stay away from stuff like that, especially, you know, seeing dudes, you know, in the offseason. I don't want, I don't want to talk about no football.
They got to do it all the goddamn time. So I think for me, the situation is good.
I would love to be in Miami. I would love to be in Miami and hope that Tua can stay upright.
You know, this upcoming year, he can stay healthy. And we know what Tua can do with Tyreek and Waddle if he's upright and healthy.
And that's been the main issue. It's hard, Ocho, when the quarterback is injured frequently and getting timing with a quarterback.
You got one week. So I got three weeks with Ty.
I got three weeks with Tua. Then I got a week, maybe two weeks with another guy.
Then I got seven weeks with Tua. Then I got another two, three weeks.
Ocho, it's hard. You know, it's hard to build chemistry to build chemistry with you know think about what it took for you to get on the same page with Carson and I don't care, you're not going to get on that same page because you and Carson, y'all, there was a look that you could give Carson and we knew what to do we knew what to do yeah that came from years and years.
Years, yeah. Practice, being in the game.
He understand that you run certain routes the way you, oh, oh, Cholini, he about to break. I'm going to throw it.
But I know he about to break. I know he about to snap this off.
Oh, oh, I see it. He about to come, he about to put that foot in the dirt.
He about to come right back to me. There's certain things thing, and you know, oh, he's going to throw this ball.

Oh, this coming? Oh, yeah, I'm getting this one.

You already? Oh, I'm getting this one.

I don't care what it was called. I'm getting this ball.

I'm getting this ball. Oh, he throwing it at me.

Last year, man, guys were tired. That season is no joke.
And when you go from July to training camp and everything and all the way to the end of February and then you really get five weeks off until you've got the report back and then you're going at it again, guys are tired. They're still beat up their bodies.
Is that a valid excuse or Joe? No, they weren't tired. They weren't tired.

But I can tell you

why their record was what it was

because of injuries.

I can tell you that.

That's why it looked the way it did last year

and had nothing to do with being tired.

Well, Chiefs will be exhausted.

I don't even know how to cheat.

I don't even know how to cheat holding up.

Because they've been in five Super Bowls in the last six years they've gone to the AFC Championship game every year every year so if y'all are tired from that I don't even know how to cheat I don't even know how to cheat holding up I mean, I understand what Brock is saying, but no. Everybody's tired at that point, especially depending on how far you make it into the postseason.
Everybody's tired. Everybody's injured.
I don't like... Ocho, let's just say for the sake of argument, you and I, we're arguing.
Why would you even say that? Do guys understand how that, when they say things, that seems like you're making excuses. Do they understand how people look at it? Like you're making excuses.
Right. But also, see, this is what I talked about too also.
You want players telling the truth now. Remember I said that? Yes.
I wish players would be more honest on how they truly feel instead of always being goddamn politically correct. Now we're getting players that are telling the truth on how they truly feel and we're chastising them for it for not being robots and being politically correct.
So you like McMillan saying that he don't like watching film and he doesn't study film. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
That's what you just said. You said you want players telling the truth.
Yeah. You can't have it both ways.
You just said you like players telling the truth. McMillan told the truth.
He doesn't like studying film. He doesn't watch film alone.
Right. Because he watched it as a group at practice so you okay with that?

no I'm not

why not he told the truth

you asked me a question

I answered the question

I want people to be a little bit more honest sometimes

okay he was honest

but you're not okay with that honesty

I ain't like that honesty

no I ain't like that one

you gotta pick and choose what you say now

that's my pocho

you just made my point

Thank you. that honestly no i ain't like that one oh yeah you got you got you got to pick and choose what you what you say now that's my pocho you just made my point pick and choose in this situation why would you give why would you make an excuse hey it didn't work we didn't play our best football that's on me i've got to play better guys around me got to play better so even when guys get injured we lost players, but guys that come in, we're plenty good enough with the guys that we had to replace.
Even if you don't believe that, because there ain't no making up for Christian McCaffrey. You ain't got nobody.
That guy's an offensive player of the year. He was in the MVP discussion.
Big trend. But hey, guys have to come in and do their job when the starters go down.

That's why you're in that position.

Bro, don't give me that we were tired.

What the hell you think Kansas City was?

Kansas City had gone.

They went back-to-back Super Bowls and went to the third Super Bowl. So they should have been exhausted.

Yeah.

And remember, Ocho, the year before they went to the championship game, and the year before that, they went to the Super Bowl. And you know what, though? Man, that, I don't know, just everybody, everybody sound like some damn robots.
Everybody would sound like some robots. I mean, that's basically what the NFL sounds like in general.
You listen to quarterbacks talk. You listen to certain players talk.
Everything is the same. It's the same thing.
Same story. Same answer.
Same everything. So you like the excuse making? No, I didn't.
No, I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
What was that? So tell me what that was. Oh, that was the excuse about being tired? Oh, yeah.
I don't get tired. Listen.
No, that's what he said. So you okay with excuse making? That's how he felt.
I didn't mean, listen, damn, he's telling the truth on how he felt. Okay, I felt we went 6-11 or whatever it may have been because we were tired.
Well, to me, based on what I saw, it had nothing to do with being tired. I saw half your goddamn team depleted.
IU out. Trent Williams out.
Christian McCaffrey out. Okay, there you go.
Three goddamn stars out. That's why you asked 6-11.
I can tell you that.

I don't... I just don't get these guys, man.

Everything, everything

shouldn't... You don't have

to say everything. Yeah.

Hey, sometimes you gotta

be real up, man.

Oh, my goodness. Hey, that Brock say, boy, we was tired.
Oh. Hey, listen.
I used to go to school, man. You want to know what tired he is? I used to walk 12 miles uphill both ways to go to school.
Now, I was tired Somebody was tired. Well, football is recreation.
That's fun. Man, I just, look, there are ways that you can say things and to get your point across and with these guys now.
But look, see, I can tell the people that's in the chat, Ocho, that's never been a part of a team because they want to say anything because they don't care. Because at the end of the day, when you're a part of a team, you just can't say anything.
You just can't do anything. For the betterment of the team.

When you're an individual, now Serena, we want

to say she was tired, okay, that's Serena. She ain't got

nobody to fill in for. Tiger Woods wanted to say

he was tired, well, that's fine. But when

you are part of a team, you understand.

And a lot of times, people have never

been a part of a team or part of a

winning team. There's a difference

between the two.

Yeah? Go back and study my track record. Talk to him, huh? winning team there's a difference between the two yeah

go back

and study my track record

talk to him huh

You know, I don't go nowhere. But I told you 2020, I told you 2025, I'm not playing.
I'm going out. I'm stepping out.
You need to get back. You need to get.
You need to get back. You need to get your ass back inside.
Why? What happened? You just need to be inside no we still got

how many more months we got

before 2025 is up

nine

so we got nine more months

of me being outside

and nine more months

of me putting on clothes

but listen let me finish

go ahead

I went out

I went out Saturday

I went to a little place

a nice little lounge

you know I don't really go nowhere

so I'm excited

I'm like a little kid a little lounge in Broward called Seashore. They were very nice.
They played some good music. Good oldies, too.
Good oldies. 80s, 90s.
I like that. They played Mink Condition.
I ain't heard this song from Mink Condition since 1994. Please tell me, remember the song So Fine? So Fine.
Yeah. Oh.
Hey, I was so rude. I told the DJ I had him running back three times.
Damn. I swear.
I had him running back three times. I ain't heard it in so long.
And it sounded so good. Then the day, the day I went to something in Broward called

BB Sundays

they was in there

cutting up

you hear me

were they

yeah oh yeah

they was in there

you need me to come down there

make a guest appearance

huh

you need me to come down there

make a guest appearance

man they told me

man they

dog

they told me to ask you

Slim Cat

I know you gonna see this

he told me

man tell him

come on down here cause what I sent you it's like this Unc He told me Man tell Unc Come on down here

Cause what I sent you

It's like all over

It should look just like that

Unc I'm trying to be good

Unc I'm just trying to

I'm trying to look

Hey Unc you gotta

Come to Miami

Let the people in Miami

See y'all

Yeah it's okay

You ain't gotta

Uh

Come on

Hey Unc

I can take you to Tootsies

You hear me

No

I can take you

I don't wanna go to no place like that

Thank you. Yeah, it's okay.
You ain't got to... Come on.
Hey, I can take you to Tootsies. You hear me? No.
I can take you to... I don't want to go to no place like that.
Wait, I can take you to... Let me take you to Booby Trap.
Mm-mm. What? Are you going to cut it by me? What are we going to do? Take me to Booby Trap.
No, Booby Trap. Booty.
Yeah, that's where you get it from. You go to Booby Trap, you get the booty.
Nah, nah. I'm done with you, man.
Man! The Jets, Gia. We believe Justin is the starter.
We believe in Justin. We believe we can win with Justin.
We're excited about Justin's potential. Fields, 26, will follow Aaron Rodgers, who went 6-12 in two years as the starter.
Fields went 4-2 in his sixth starts last season,

throwing five touchdowns with an interception.

The Jets signed Fields to a two-year deal,

hoping he can prove their long-term starter.

You like with the GM?

You like the GM showing confidence?

I love that he came out and said this.

I did.

Justin has done, he's had to deal with enough. He had to deal with enough when he was in Chicago.
Them letting him go, not believing in him. Him going to the Steelers.
Him getting the job because Russell got injured. Right.
Then when Russell gets back, the job is taken away from him. So to hear the GM over the Jets say you are our starter,

and now you have nothing to worry about,

you don't have to look over your shoulder so you can just go play football.

Agree.

The main thing is the main thing now.

The ball is in your court.

You have a chance to solidify yourself as a starting quarterback for the New York Jets

based on your play.

And if it doesn't work out the way it should, it's nobody else's fault except your own. Yeah.
I don't know who the OC is, Ocho. I think the thing is people looking at the Jets, like look at the team, look at the players that have left the Jets and the success they've had.
Look at Geno. Look at Sam Darnold.
Now, the difference is, look at what Gino was throwing to in Seattle. Look at what Sam Darnold was throwing to.
Now, are y'all going to give Justin Fields those type of weapons? I mean, they need one more if they want to add one, because you already have one in Garrett Wilson, who was able to win. He had a hell of a goddamn rookie season and things kind of tapered off after that, but we know what he can do if you're able to give him the ball and you put him in positions to make some of the plays that other players are getting opportunities to make around the league.
You know what you can do with that. So we had the draft coming up.
I mean, I think all offseason acquisitions or moves have been made to date so far? Brock Purdy says he's about 40% of the time

he's not able to see his intended target on throws downfield

due to the size of the lineman in front of him.

He talked about how important it is knowing coverage's scheme

and knowing where his receivers are supposed to be.

How common is this?

Is this typical for quarterbacks who aren't very tall?

Yeah.

Yeah, it happens all the time.

Huh?

All the time.

Drew Brees.

Russell Wilson.

Russell Wilson.

You have to throw between the linemen.

You have to find, that's what they call it, throwing lanes.

Yeah.

And you have to anticipate as well.

Yes.

I mean, it's been, remember, Doug Flutie.

When Doug Flutie played.

Yes. What do you think? been, remember, Doug Flutie.
When Doug Flutie played. Yes.
What you think Kyler Murray sees? Man, what? I couldn't think of it. Kyler Murray.
Hell, half the time, he probably looking at it alive with ass. Who else is short, huh? Who else? I know everybody.
Kyler.

Drew was short.

Baker Mayfield is short.

Russell Wilson.

Yeah, I said Russ.

Trying to think who else.

Tua.

Oh, yeah.

Tua is not that tall.

Bryce Young.

Okay, Bryce is short. Yeah, Bryce is in that boat too.
But you know what, Ocho? I'd have said that if I got 50 million. Yeah, I wouldn't have said it before.
I ain't been nothing. But anyway, listen, the fact that he did say it, he's still in a good position anyway because he's already put in the small sample size of work.
Well, he gonna get his money anyway, regardless. But the fact that you've been able to do what you've done, even though you couldn't see 40% of the time, I mean, it can work in your favor, too.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, look, Mike Vick wasn't the tallest, Johnny Manziel wasn tall no not at all not at all how tall is Hurts it's not like Hurts 6'5 wait he's probably average height probably 6'1 yeah Jayden got a little height 6'1 how tall is that Jayden Daniels Jayden tall he about 6'3 yeah but Ocho but he's 6'1 his offensive line is 6'6 yeah who can see it over yeah you right but you know once you drop back everybody gonna beat Josh Allen yeah everybody gonna beat you gotta think also in today's game especially with the offense that we're seeing we're seeing now most of the time quarterbacks in the gun yeah Most of the time, quarterback's in the gun.
So you're already at an advantage if you are a short quarterback anyway. Then that all comes down to you processing and having anticipatory skills and when to get the ball out and hoping your receivers get open.
We were getting where we couldn't pay the bill. PG&E asked customers about their biggest concerns so we could address them one by one.

That's terrifying.

That's fair.

Joe, Regional Vice President, PG&E.

We have to run the business in a way that keeps people safe, but it starts driving costs down.

I would love to see that.

We're on our way.

I hope so.

Russell Wilson is coming to the Giants with the expectation that he will be the starting quarterback. In his presser, Ocho, he said, yeah, I expect him to start to come in here and be ready to rock and roll every day.
I think this team is really looking for somebody to lead them in every way. Is this a match made in heaven for the Giants, Ocho? Remember now, Ocho, before you go, they gave Jameis two years, $8 million.
Russ basically is a one-year deal for $10.5 million. That's guaranteed.
He can make up to $21 million, but he got to win, like, what? He gets X amount of dollars per win or something like that? Right. But anyway, do you see them taking a quarterback? Yeah.
I think the third pick. Yeah.
Listen, I don't care if they had 30. Third.
Go ahead, Ocho. Listen, I don't care if they had 37 quarterbacks on their roster right now.
They taking a quarterback come draft time because there's still no quarterback of the future. Now, whoever they draft at quarterback, they have somebody they can learn from and learn behind for a year before they're put into that offense.
And depending on how to play from whoever start, whether it's DeVito, whether it's James Winston, whether it's Russell Wilson. Man, DeVito, stop.
DeVito ain't starting. You know damn well DeVito ain't starting.
Stop with that. I'm just calling the names of the people on the roster, baby.
Let me get my point across. But either way, it could be Shador, it could be Cam Ward.
They might even surprise us and pick somebody else. You never know.
You know how the draft works sometimes when it comes to their decision making. But either way, I think Russell Wilson probably going to be the starter.
Everywhere he goes, he's the ultimate, not only competitor, but his approach to the game and willingness to learn the offense and, you know, obviously be a team player and all that good stuff.

He says all the right stuff.

Yeah.

So there's a reason why the Giants wanted to extend that grace to him, allow him another year.

And I'm excited.

I mean, Russell Wilson, Malik Nabors, they still need to do something with the effing offensive line.

Yeah.

And get another, no disrespect to brother Slayton.

We'll see you next time. I mean, Russell Wilson, Malik Neighbors, they still need to do something with the effing offensive line.
Yeah. And get another, no disrespect to brother Slayton.
Very nice receiver. You got Malik Neighbors, but you still need another playmaker.
Did they bring Slayton back? Didn't he back? Yeah, he back. That's what I just said.
They still need another playmaker. They just played Slayton.
But they still need another playmaker outside of them, you know, to go with Malik Navis and Slade. That offensive line, boy, is abysmal.
It's abysmal. Because so, you're going to have Russell running for his life.
Outside of that, there's so many things they need to address offensively to actually be competitive week in and week out. Especially when you're bringing in a quarterback,

you're definitely drafting a quarterback.

I don't know who it's going to be.

Whether it be Shador, whether it be Cam Ward,

or maybe surprised to pick somebody else you might like that you've seen.

But there are other issues that need to be fixed.

And to me, I would start with that offensive line.

If I told you five years ago, this would...

Russell Wilson's career, would you have believed it? Bouncing around like this, Ocho? You wouldn't have. No, probably not.
Probably not. because even me as a lover

and an enthusiast

of the game and understanding of it, the trajectory in which he was going was always, to me, he was viewed as the top, the cream of the top. One of the elites.
Because he was consistent year in and year out.

Year in and year out.

He was consistent. He was in a place

of comfortability where he knew a system

and you just go in there and do what you need to do

year in and year out.

Now on the back end, things

change. I wish Pete Carroll hadn't made that

call. You already know what I'm talking about.

Yeah. And you would have had two rings

under your belt. Yeah.

But I think

Thank you. change.
I wish Pete Carroll hadn't made that call. You already know what I'm talking about.
Yeah. And you would have had two rings under your belt.
Yeah.

But I think, man,

Seattle saw something.

They saw slippage,

Ocho.

Ah, I don't know.

Ah.

Okay. Ocho, he's been on his third team in

33 years. Yeah.

That ain't no

well-rounded. Let's not sugarcoat it.
He's his third team in three years. Yeah.
That ain't no way around it. Ain't no, let's not sugarcoat it.

He's his third team

in three years.

Mm-hmm.

Right.

It's tough.

Because, you know,

you had

you learned

the Broncos system

you were there for two years

you go to Pittsburgh

you learn that system

it's harder and harder

to keep

I mean you think about it

it gets harder and harder

to learn a system

yeah

even though

because look at Baker

once he got

look okay

he went to Carolina

he was in the Rams

well everybody knew

he wasn't going to stay

very long with the Rams, except the fact

they had Matthew Stafford. But look at him

now. He's thriving.

But he got great complimentary players

around him. He got Mike Evans.
He got Chris Godwin.

He got a nice

running back. They did a great job.
Bucket Irvin.

They did a great job in the draft

with the running back position.

Mike Evans is Mr. Consistency.
Chris God went down but hey he's back that's why I think supporting the cast matters that's why I say it all the time for a quarterback that may be on the decline where he's not the same as he once was if you're a quarterback and you're not in the position and you need those players around you to make you better Well, you's not the same as he once was, if you're a quarterback and you're not in a position

and you need those players around you to make you better,

where you're not the caliber of player anymore

to make them actually better,

you have to be in the right system.

Yeah.

The right supporting cast and everything will take off.

It's hard to hide your weaknesses

when those around you ain't that good.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very hard to hide your weaknesses.
Yeah, you ain't that good oh yeah yeah yeah it's very hard to hide your weaknesses yeah because I'm going to make you I'm going to make you play to it yeah hey yeah but man that's what makes the Eagles so difficult yeah because if you take Saquon away you got two guys outside that can make you pay you got to deal with yeah mm-hmm so now what do they do're like, we just go play zone because you can't run the football. With what you got behind you, Patrick Mahomes, you can't run the football.
Right. So now they say, you know what, hey, Kansas City say, nah, Saquon, we ain't going to let you do, we ain't going to let you run outside the building.
Right. And her says, okay, I'll throw you out the building.
Oh, whole list. That's the thing.
It's not that complicated. It's really not.
You try to take away what the strength is, and if somebody beats you with what this is, okay, you just give them credit. I mean, if I'm Kansas City, you go to the middle of the field, say, hey, man, Jalen, congrats, man.
Good game. You got to live with that.
You got to live with it. Because if Saquon had run everybody else out of the building, he didn't run you out of the building.
Jalen Hurst did what he needed to do. He didn't throw for 300 yards, but he was accurate.
And he made you pay. Every time.
Also, the Patriots signed Stefan Diggs. Three years.
Contract worth up to $69 million. Diggs is 31 years of age, working his way back from a torn ACL.
Mike Vrabel is all in on Diggs saying, yeah, just trying to make sure we're supporting Drake and supporting the football team. And again, this is a highly competitive company receiver that's produced throughout his career in multiple ways, play and style.
He's got to play strength to him. And he sees that he can play physical, you know, route, craft, good, run after catch, and it's good in the red zone.
And there's a play style to him that's always appreciated. And that's what we want to continue to enhance and make sure that he's doing things to help us.
Are you surprised that he got that length of deal, that kind of deal coming up in the field? No, absolutely not. No, because, no, I wasn't surprised because they were in need of a playmaker of this magnitude, even with Stephon Diggs coming off ACL, I understand.
Rabel understands. Robert Kraft understands.
And I tweeted it out. I'm not sure if people in the chat can pull up a tweet that I said right before he even got signed.
When he went on the visit, I said something to the likes of one leg, two legs, no legs at all. Make sure he leaves that building with the deal.
Not only I'm talking about the competitor that he is, and the ability for him to be able to get open and manipulate defenses even if he doesn't play on the outside, even if he plays on the

inside. That's a target that

Drake May needs that he can be

relying on during football

season. There's enough time

from now with him rehabbing because I've already

seen some drills with Stephon out there working already

and I'm seeing how far he's come so far.

I saw him squatting, but I was surprised.

I thought somebody would make a prove-it

deal. One year.
You know what I'm saying? Don't show one year, $15 million with a chance to make $20, $25 million. Right.
But who knows? We haven't seen the intricacies of this deal. It might be a one-year deal disguised as a three-year deal.
Right. Because we saw T.
Higgins' deal, and basically it's a one-year deal. So, yeah.
I like it, though. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Veteran receiver, good to me. To me, some people probably won't like it.
I think a good locker room presence, especially for the receivers, for Drake May, being able to converse and learn from Diggs on some of the things when it comes to the route running and processing information and understanding what he sees and what he may see and how things, you know. Yeah, back to the ATV, Rodney Rogers got paralyzed.
You remember Rodney Rogers, the Wake Forest, great talented player, Denver Nuggets. He got paralyzed.
I think he was at Phoenix at the time, but he ended up getting paralyzed on one. He was a hell of a player, Ocho.
Rodney Rogers, left-handed, went to Wake Forrest. He might have been player of the year in the ACC.
Look that up, Ash. He was a hit.
Ocho. I'm talking about Kajon.
I mean, he was built like a football player. Y'all remember Rodney Rogers? He looked like Larry Johnson,

basically.

Oh,

he was thinking he was,

oh no,

Ocho.

I'm talking about

Grandma,

I'm talking about

Grandma Ma.

He was that big?

Yes,

he was ACC

player of the year,

Ocho,

when the ACC,

when the Carolina,

and they were

loaded back then.

Yeah.

What?

Yeah, he was

there was another one guy

Williams the boxer

he ended up

Paul Williams

on the motorcycle

Paul threw about

2,000 punches around man

Paul was a joy to watch

he was a big ass

welterweight

big big big big

Thank you. punches around, man.
Paul was a joy to watch. Paul, he was a big-ass welterweight.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Big, big, big, big. Hey, yeah.
I like Paul. I just wish you guys like, yeah, yeah.
Just guys, just be careful. That's all I'm saying, Ocho, because I don't want to see guys mess up their careers.
Look, have fun. My mindset was just different.
Once I got that money, I said, you know what?

I'm going to make this money as long as I can.

Now, once my career is over, because your career is going to be over in the mid-30s anyway.

Yeah.

I can hop on a motorcycle or a dirt bike, but I ain't going to mess no money up.

Right.

None.

I ain't going to give none.

Like you say, you ain't giving none of it back?

I ain't giving none of it back.

Because, you know, look, basketball players, baseball players, they don't matter what happens. That's money guaranteed.
We ain't got no guaranteed money, Ocho. Yeah.
Hey, one, so don't. $760 million.
$750. Guaranteed.
Yeah. Show hate.
Guaranteed.

Mookie.

Everybody don't want to

live like that, man.

Everybody's not going to have that mindset.

People want to be free. People want to

enjoy themselves without

thinking of the negatives of what

could happen or what if this happens.

They just want to enjoy themselves, especially

at this age. especially in this era

we are now. It's different.
There's so many

things to do, so many things you can enjoy.

Listen, I totally agree

with you. I understand.
But

I'd rather them be safe and

free

or doing things

confined in areas

that they shouldn't be doing.

Well, if you feel that way, like I say, bless the heart. Bam.
