1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,840
Bag alert, bag alert, bag alert, bag alert, bag alert folks.

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:07,840
That's right.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,840
Evan makes Fierce and Inks a new deal.

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,320
Gillie goes to the Viking Steelers.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,360
Yes, we have to talk about the Steelers.

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,160
Unfortunately, yes, we do.

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,160
Steelers and Bills.

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,360
We got to talk about that game.

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,680
We also got to talk about the Ravens and Falcons game.

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,880
And we got a shocking revelation that has come out.

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:33,720
Tua finally speaks on the relationship in the tenure of Brian Flores when he was the

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,960
head coach for the Miami Dolphins.

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:37,960
All of this and more.

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,800
It's going to be, I'm trying to keep this a pretty short episode, but if it does, then

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,800
well then hey, it is what it is.

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,800
But guess what?

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,880
All of this and more on the 25th episode.

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,880
That's right.

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,800
Only five episodes away from hitting the 30 episode mark.

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,960
And I cannot wait.

21
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Okay.

22
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,960
But until then, guess what?

23
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,800
We're going to keep this thing going because why?

24
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,040
You are listening to Bag Road Domus.

25
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,280
You are listening to your chief, Bag Meteorologist.

26
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,360
You are listening to the man who has made predictions that are going to come forth in

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,720
the next three years, who was currently looking at draft classes three years in advance, who

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:25,800
currently right now is a GM, former GM, who's now on the team right now, who currently

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,800
has interviews lined up right now for assistant GM positions.

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,200
But I'm not taking them right now because you got to get ready for the season.

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,200
Okay.

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,240
Right now we are in the great state of Texas.

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,240
Okay.

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,280
Eating some good Texas brisket.

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,280
Okay.

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,200
You already know what I'm getting ready to say because we all are going to say the same

37
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,200
thing.

38
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,280
I am your host, Kale.

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,760
You already know what time it is.

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Lock in.

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:59,760
All right, folks.

42
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:13,720
Let's just, let's just do, well, you know what?

43
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:22,040
Let's just go.

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,760
Let's just go into everything.

45
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Okay.

46
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,000
We're not going to sugarcoat it.

47
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,560
We're not going to try to stall.

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,800
We're not going to try to do any of these types of things right now.

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,800
Okay.

50
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,520
We're just going to go into the nook and cranny of all these topics because there's a lot

51
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,520
to talk about.

52
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,320
We're going to try to keep this very, very, very short as short as possible.

53
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,320
Okay.

54
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:49,800
So Evan McPherson, kicker for the Cincinnati Bengals, aka the Cincinnati Bumgles, okay.

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,160
He paints a three-year, $16.5 million deal to stay with the Bengals.

56
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,280
He gets $5.5 million a year.

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Okay.

58
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Now, not a whole lot to talk about this team-friendly deal, good deal, got it done.

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Someone got paid.

60
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,640
That's all that matters.

61
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:12,280
Nothing to, you know, in depth to really go over with this signing.

62
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,960
You know, we have started to see that teams have prioritized kickers and punters more

63
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,400
lately than what they used to.

64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,520
And it shows with, you know, the market somewhat resetting as frequent as it has been, you

65
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,400
know, lately when you have people like him and you have Harrison Butcher and Justin Tucker

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,400
and Elliot for the Eagles and, you know, kickers like that.

67
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,160
I mean, you know, they do have to get paid, you know, pretty fairly.

68
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,040
So, and it shows, you know, with Evan McPherson getting his deal.

69
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,040
Congratulations to him.

70
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,600
Let's get, let's keep this party started.

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Okay.

72
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,600
Well, not the party.

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Let's keep this party going.

74
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,600
What am I saying?

75
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,600
What's going on with me?

76
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Right?

77
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,600
I think it's the brisket.

78
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,600
I think the brisket got to me.

79
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,200
Now, moving on to other things.

80
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,200
Okay.

81
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,120
So, Stefan Gilmore, corner, aimed a one-year $10 million deal with the Vikings.

82
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,120
Okay.

83
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,840
He gets $7 million in total guarantees.

84
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,040
Now, when you look at it, a team like the Vikings have definitely been in the market

85
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:20,160
for a corner, you know, for a while, especially, you know, with the sudden passing of, of

86
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,280
of Kari, Kari Jackson.

87
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:28,760
I think it's safe to say that they, they don't have, well, this is what I'll say.

88
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,480
The defense, the defense is lacking, especially, you know, with them losing to Neil Hunter

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,280
to, to free agency.

90
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,200
So, you know, having someone like a Stefan Gilmore who can be that veteran presence and

91
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:46,160
somewhat, you know, build up the corners that they do have on that team definitely, you

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,880
know, is, is a good, you know, a good situation, honestly, not to mention, you know, there,

93
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,080
there is a new England connection there because why Brian Flores is the defensive coordinator

94
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640
over there, you know, with them.

95
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,600
So, you know, you have that, you have that connection in place and whatnot.

96
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,760
So all in all, it's a pretty good deal.

97
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,280
You know, you get, you're getting a corner that, you know, can still go to toe.

98
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:12,200
I can't even speak.

99
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,720
Definitely is the brisket who can still go toe to toe with, you know, some of the best

100
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,400
corners in the league, right?

101
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,080
You're talking about somebody who can play both inside and outside as well as, you know,

102
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,200
make tackles and do whatever, you know, he is asked and needed to do.

103
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,560
So I mean, all in all, it was a great signing.

104
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:38,240
Me personally, I definitely wanted the Steelers to go after Stefan Gilmore, but clearly that's

105
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,400
not had, that's not, you know, that's not a priority, I guess.

106
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,480
So, you know, here we are.

107
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,920
But honestly speaking here, I am definitely surprised that he was able to get the deal

108
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:56,480
that he, that he got simply because, you know, teams, teams may, may try to play the, oh,

109
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,120
you know, you're a little bit up in age game and, you know, all those different type of

110
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,080
tactics to try to convince players, you know, to take less and all those different type

111
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,080
of things.

112
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,400
But for him to still, you know, have a market and for him to get the deal that he got, that

113
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,720
definitely shows that he still does have a strong market within the league and that team

114
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:20,240
still do view him as a very versatile corner, you know, despite him being, you know, up

115
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,560
in age, you know, because we've seen corners do not age that well.

116
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,960
They don't.

117
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,120
Some corners have aged, you know, gracefully and then there's others that just been like,

118
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,280
it's, it's just a nose dive.

119
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:38,400
I'm talking about a straight nose dive down.

120
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,560
So all in all, congratulations to Stefan Gilmore Vikings.

121
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,880
You guys just got somebody great.

122
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,160
And hopefully that, you know, maybe, maybe in practice, you know, you can have a one-on-one

123
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,720
matchup with him and Justin Jefferson, which actually might, which actually might make

124
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,520
Justin Jefferson actually a whole lot better as well.

125
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,480
All in all, it's a great situation.

126
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,640
It really is.

127
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,840
So, you know, congratulations to them.

128
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:06,880
Now, you know, we do have to, you know, we would definitely do have to talk about it.

129
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,480
So the Steelers and Bill's game.

130
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:14,920
Now, before we go any further, I just want to let everybody know I have, I had to think,

131
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,600
oh, I had to think over this.

132
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,040
I had to sleep on it.

133
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,640
I had to drink some water over it.

134
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,800
I had to do a whole lot of things just to find the words to say about this, right?

135
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,800
And this is what I will say.

136
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,680
I'm just going to be completely honest here.

137
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,680
Relax.

138
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,680
Relax.

139
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,680
R-E-L-A-X.

140
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Relax.

141
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,680
Okay.

142
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:43,240
The reason why I'm saying that is because this, this is why the preseason is important

143
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:50,240
because you're able to see the, the, the nicks and the weaknesses of your team.

144
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,240
Correct.

145
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,520
And sometimes when you, when you're seeing, you know, the preseason game, sometimes our

146
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:02,760
emotions can, can alter and sort of cloud our judgment and our opinions about our team

147
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,720
because it definitely did for me.

148
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,720
It definitely did.

149
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,160
But this is what I will say because I know everybody's been talking about Broderick Jones.

150
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Yes.

151
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,560
Broderick Jones should be playing at left tackle.

152
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,560
Yes.

153
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,200
That, that, that is, that is a point that I can definitely agree on that, you know, he

154
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,000
doesn't need to be taking more reps at left tackle.

155
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,520
If everyone has been saying from Omar to Tomlin to Mr. Rooney himself, if everyone has been

156
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,280
saying that he is, that he's supposed to be the franchise left tackle, well, then you

157
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,800
have to put him over there in order for him to get comfortable at playing left tackle.

158
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,920
That's the only way that this thing works.

159
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,440
You can't, you can't continue to flip flop him and have him play right tackle and then

160
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,200
left tackle and then left tackle to right tackle.

161
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,600
You can't continue to do that.

162
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,680
At some point he has to get his footing at one position.

163
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,820
That's just what it is at the end of the day.

164
00:08:57,820 --> 00:09:03,840
Why is it that, you know, basically Broderick has basically been shuffled at different positions

165
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:10,320
but Dan, but, but we're keeping Dan more strictly at left tackle and mind you, this is the same

166
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,120
person that, you know, everybody complains about and say that, you know, Dan Moore is

167
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,120
not good.

168
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,480
It's time for him to, you know, hang it up and go somewhere else, different opportunity,

169
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,760
trade him, cut him, whatever the case may be, all those different types of things.

170
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,760
But it's like y'all don't give Broderick Jones an inadequate, you know, leg up in competition.

171
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,600
You don't because why he's mainly been at right tackle.

172
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,800
May I remind you folks that the reason why he played right tackle is because Chukes ran

173
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:45,040
his mouth on the sideline and people were trying to tell him to be quiet and in doing

174
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,480
so, guess what happened?

175
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,320
Mike benched him.

176
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,320
That's what happened.

177
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,480
That I mean, that's what happened, right?

178
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,360
And so I understand, you know, he probably was the, you know, the best option to play

179
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,360
at right tackle.

180
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,360
Okay, cool.

181
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,360
That season has passed.

182
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,800
There's a whole different season, right?

183
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:01,960
You drafted Troy Fortuno.

184
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:02,960
I get it.

185
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,880
Troy Fortuno is still hurt, but you still have other people.

186
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,880
You have Dylan Cook.

187
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,320
You have Spencer Anderson.

188
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,920
You still have other people that you can test out at right tackle for now because you still

189
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,840
need somebody behind Troy Fortuno just in case, you know, anything crazy happens.

190
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:20,960
You need that.

191
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,960
You do.

192
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,040
And how in the world do you know what you have as far as secondary offensive linemen,

193
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,400
especially swing tackles, if you don't give them a chance?

194
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,400
How?

195
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,160
Like really think about that for a second here, folks, because honestly, whether we want to

196
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:43,120
do a minute or not, yes, this offense is going to go through some, some, you know, some difficult

197
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,120
times.

198
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,000
Okay, it's going to happen.

199
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,840
That is the process, the natural process that happens when you have a lot of turnover,

200
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,600
the, you know, the type of turnover that we have had in one off season.

201
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,840
May I remind people, especially Steven's nation, Kenny is gone.

202
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,080
Well, I'm never mind.

203
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,080
Kenny is gone.

204
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,080
Mason Rudolph is gone.

205
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,640
Mitchell Biscay is gone.

206
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,360
All three quarterbacks are gone.

207
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Right.

208
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:16,440
And so they brought in Kyle Allen, Justin Fields and their Russell Wilson.

209
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,400
That's a lot of turnover on top of you trade away the auntie Johnson.

210
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,640
You get a new offensive coordinator.

211
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,480
You draft another tackle.

212
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,240
You draft another center.

213
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,160
You draft another guard.

214
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,080
The the original center, he's basic.

215
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,160
He's basically, you know, out for the season with the torn rotator cuff.

216
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,440
So now you have to move your rookie center and make him the starting center.

217
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,440
Right.

218
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,400
It's a lot of change.

219
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,560
And so what happens is when there's a lot of change, a team, regardless of what side

220
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:53,000
the ball is, they're going to go through these growing pains and these growing pains are

221
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000
not fun.

222
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
They're not, they've never been fun.

223
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040
They're never fun for anybody.

224
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,920
But that is why you have preseason is in place so that can so that they can maneuver

225
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,360
those type of things.

226
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,080
They can build those reps, develop that chemistry and be prepared for the regular season.

227
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,080
Right.

228
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,400
Because let's be real here.

229
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,400
Arthur Smith probably hasn't even used 20% of the real plays that he probably wants

230
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,600
to use once the regular season starts.

231
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,600
Right.

232
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,320
These are probably just like, I wouldn't say dummy plays, but these are just like, you

233
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,080
know, sort of like the, the bare minimum type of plays that you probably would use, you

234
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,280
know, just for everybody to get comfortable, you know, develop reps, chemistry, all those

235
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,440
different types of things.

236
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,440
Right.

237
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:43,200
And even then, when we look at the quarterback, you know, position, I can, I mean, although

238
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,640
Russ is quote unquote the pole position, which I've never even heard of that term before

239
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:53,840
until this off season, until Mike Tomlin said it, although Russ is at the pole position,

240
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,960
we've seen that Justin Fields has developed more chemistry with his receivers and the

241
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,160
offense compared to Russ.

242
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,800
Now granted, a lot of that is because Russ was hurt in the beginning of training camp

243
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:11,120
because he messed up his calf, pushing up a sled, which again, that was a dumb idea.

244
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,240
Why in the world do we continue to do these dumb things?

245
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Tomlin, why?

246
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,600
Think about that for a second.

247
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,640
But you know, when you, when you look at it, Justin Fields has definitely done a little

248
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,640
bit more.

249
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,080
And the only reason why I'm saying a little bit more is he can, of course, he can, he

250
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,720
can still, you know, extend plays because why he's still mobile?

251
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,720
He can still run.

252
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:40,000
So I mean, of course that that's going to be, you know, a good situation.

253
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:47,200
But as far as anything else, no, at this point, my expectation for the last preseason game

254
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,600
is when we want to see the offense, especially the first team offense, be able to put some

255
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,280
points on the board.

256
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,520
That is my expectation.

257
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,600
That is the thing that I want to see.

258
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,200
I don't, I don't necessarily want to see this dominate game where like every single time

259
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,040
they get on the field, you know, they're scoring a touchdown first play.

260
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,040
I don't want to see that.

261
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,440
I want to be able to see them put points on the board.

262
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:16,960
I want to see a level of consistency that shows that one, this offense is in a good place.

263
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,840
Two, there's chemistry.

264
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,680
The chemistry is good.

265
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,520
And three, the offensive line is together.

266
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,520
That's what I want to see.

267
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:32,360
I don't want to see a bunch of, you know, just, just sloppiness because that's what that

268
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,400
that's basically what we've been seeing lately is flat out sloppiness when it comes to the

269
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,400
offense.

270
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,960
The defense is the defense.

271
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,400
I don't have nothing to say about the defense because why the defense is the defense.

272
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,120
You don't have to worry about the defense because why the defense is always going to

273
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,360
be intact.

274
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:54,320
It is the offense that has been lackluster for the, for the last couple of years and

275
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,480
they have to pick it up.

276
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,200
They have to pick it up.

277
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,840
The defense can't continue to, to ball out, you know, every single week and then the off

278
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:09,320
season, I mean, and then the offense is basically, you know, dragging, you know, they have to,

279
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,640
they don't necessarily have to be a top five offense or a top three offense or the best

280
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,800
offense in the league, but dammit, you have to be a good offense.

281
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:25,240
You have to be able to one, chew the clock, um, weaken the defense, make the defense tired

282
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,120
and put points on the board.

283
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,320
That's what you have to, and if you cannot do those things, then we have a bigger problem

284
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,200
that needs to be addressed.

285
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,200
And I get it.

286
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,480
There's still people that are still banking on, you know, the Steelers, you know, possibly

287
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,520
trading, you know, the world trying to trade for someone like a brand.

288
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,440
Now you can whatnot folks.

289
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,000
Let me tell you something.

290
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,080
If you think that that trade is going to go down, if you think that that's going to move

291
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,880
the needle, if you think that's going to, you know, be a dynamic type of change, you

292
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,840
are sadly mistaken.

293
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,840
You are.

294
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,840
Okay.

295
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:08,400
He, he has been, he has been in the headlines basically almost all summer long.

296
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,120
It's it's drawing out too long.

297
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,960
It's it's just unnecessary at this point.

298
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:21,000
We need to continue to move forward with the idea that someone like a brand, IEU is not

299
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
going to be on this team.

300
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,400
Now, maybe later in the season, someone might be available that, you know, it'll be a better

301
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:33,520
situation in an easier situation to, um, you know, to, to take care of than this.

302
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,520
Okay, cool.

303
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,520
Fine.

304
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,320
But to say that, you know, you need someone like a brand, IEU it.

305
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,560
No, you don't, you don't need a brand.

306
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,960
IEU again, I'm not getting into it if you want me to, if you want to hear why there are

307
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:50,120
at least a few episodes before this one that I have said it multiple times on why brand

308
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,040
and IEU is a bad move, um, for the Steelers.

309
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,920
So, um, all in all, I just want to see improvement.

310
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,360
I want to, I want to have a little bit of momentum, you know, with the offense in this

311
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,120
preseason game that can be sort of carried into the first week of the season.

312
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:13,000
That's what I want to see because may I remind Steelers nation that they have to go up against

313
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,840
the Falcons and the Falcons had made a lot of, a lot of moves in this all season.

314
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,440
They have, they got a stable quarterback in her cousins.

315
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,840
They still have the weapons.

316
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,040
Um, was it Drake London?

317
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,040
Yeah.

318
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,280
Drake London, you still have Kyle Pitts and you have Bijan Robison.

319
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,320
You have the offensive line.

320
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:38,440
Look at the defense, Judon, Grady Jarrett, Justin Simmons, Jesse Bates, AJ Turrell,

321
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,440
they got some dogs on that team.

322
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,680
They got some dogs on the team.

323
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,960
That's not a team that you can't just, you know, sleep on and whatnot.

324
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,440
No, you have to, you got to ball out now because if you don't, you're going to have

325
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:55,640
another, um, another situation like how we did last season where we took the Texas for

326
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,600
granted and guess what they did?

327
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,120
They, they ran over us.

328
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,120
They beat us.

329
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:01,600
They beat us down and you don't want that.

330
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,760
You don't want to be embarrassed.

331
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,560
You just don't, especially with, with a lot of things that are riding on this season,

332
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,520
you need to come out guns.

333
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:15,720
You need to be able to, you know, to let people know like, Hey, listen, we can be a dark horse.

334
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,200
We're going to be a team that, that, you know, it's going to be a thorn in your side, you

335
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,960
know, as the season progresses.

336
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,320
But again, done with them.

337
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,600
Now moving on to the other game that that was that definitely caught my attention.

338
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,440
Uh, the Ravens and Falcons, right?

339
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,280
So, and I, this was probably somewhat of a hot take.

340
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:41,120
Me personally, I feel like the Ravens are probably go and get another backup quarterback.

341
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,440
I, I, I, I truly believe that.

342
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,040
And the reason why I say that is because if they get someone like a Ryan Tannehill, that

343
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,040
can be a backup.

344
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,440
Oh, who that, that's, that's a good backup right there.

345
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,760
That's a really good backup because right now can you really trust Josh Johnson?

346
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,800
Can you really trust the other quarterback as well?

347
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,300
No, you can't.

348
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:02,300
You just can't.

349
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:06,720
But if you have someone like a Ryan Tannehill who, you know, if you need him to, you know,

350
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,520
to finish the game, he can do it.

351
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,400
If you need him to play a game, you know, he can do it, right?

352
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,720
Because everything is already in place.

353
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,760
You got Derek Henry, you got the receiving Corey, Garth, Mark Andrews, perfectly fine.

354
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:19,760
Okay.

355
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,760
Cool.

356
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,160
Um, also I do believe that the Ravens are definitely going to be highly, um, involved

357
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,080
in trying to get, um, another guard.

358
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,840
I just, I don't know what it is with Ben Cleveland.

359
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,480
I think they just do not believe him, Ben Cleveland at all.

360
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,640
I think Ben Cleveland is not a good guard.

361
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,040
I think at best he'll probably be maybe a good backup guard.

362
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,040
I just don't think he, he's a good starting guard.

363
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,040
I don't.

364
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,800
Um, and I wouldn't be surprised if, if the Ravens, you know, try to do a little bit of

365
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,320
digging and maybe try to see if they can pick up somebody from, from cut down day or, you

366
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,240
know, trades or whatever the case may be personally.

367
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,800
Um, and I do think they probably do need another patch rusher.

368
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:09,040
I do because, um, they cannot, they cannot rely just on, you know, Adafi away and David

369
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,720
a job, oh, um, to try to bail them out.

370
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,160
And then Calvin, no, okay.

371
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,040
This isn't the same Calvin, no, from the Patriots, right?

372
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,760
This is a Calvin, no, that he could probably give you four, maybe five, maybe six or seven

373
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,080
sacks, you know, this season, right?

374
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:28,920
This isn't someone that's going to be as consistent like, like how he was, um, in his previous

375
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,920
years.

376
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:35,520
And if we're being real here, I think a move that's not really being talked about as much

377
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,800
that definitely hurt them was Jadevion clown.

378
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,840
You know, going to the Panthers.

379
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:47,680
I do believe that because if they had Jadevion, I think they still would have been in a really

380
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,680
good place.

381
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,680
Right.

382
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,680
I really do believe that.

383
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,880
I really do.

384
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,960
But you know, David a job, oh really?

385
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,160
I mean, he there, there was definitely some flashes.

386
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,000
You know, there was definitely some flashes.

387
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,560
It definitely, you know, was looking good.

388
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,560
It really was.

389
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,320
And you know, I'm still rooting for David a job, oh, because, you know, when he was coming

390
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,680
out of Michigan, he was projected to be a first round pick.

391
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:15,920
The only reason why he fell was because he, he messed up his Achilles during his pro day.

392
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,080
That's the only reason why.

393
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:24,080
And you know, do you, do you want to take that risk and have him, you know, play, you

394
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,400
know, and have him take, you know, 10, 15, 20, maybe, you know, more reps.

395
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,520
Do you really want to do that?

396
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:36,200
Or do you want to try to bring in another pass rusher and maybe try to see if you can,

397
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,600
you know, do, do something with it at this point?

398
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,320
Like these are serious conversations that, that, you know, the Ravens are probably having

399
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:51,800
behind closed doors because although yes, they are still a very competitive team.

400
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,920
There is a lot of holes that, that do need to be addressed in order for them to really

401
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,040
be as competitive as what they need to be.

402
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,040
That's just my personal opinion.

403
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,760
I could be wrong Ravens fans.

404
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,000
I could be wrong move, but that's just how I personally feel.

405
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,240
I feel like if they go and they get a guard and if they get another good patch rusher,

406
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:20,080
doesn't necessarily have to be, you know, a, a, a well-known patch rusher, but just someone

407
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,600
that can, you know, that, that can do something, I think they're going to be in a good spot.

408
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,200
I think they're going to be in a really good spot personally.

409
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,120
As far as, as far as, you know, everything else, you know, the Ravens are the Ravens.

410
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:34,560
Their defensive line, I think it definitely needs to be buffed up a little bit more too,

411
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:40,280
especially the, the interior because outside of just a man, a bouquet, I mean, I think

412
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,840
they still have Brent, Brent urban.

413
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,040
If I'm not mistaken, you probably do need maybe somebody else because the Falcons were

414
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,280
running the ball.

415
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,280
They were running.

416
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,000
They were talking about parting the Red Sea type of running.

417
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Okay.

418
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:58,240
And, you know, if you're, if you're Ravens fan, you probably don't, don't like to see

419
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,240
that personally.

420
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,240
You just don't.

421
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,400
So, you know, let's, let's wait and see.

422
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,800
Maybe maybe EDC will, you know, we'll do something.

423
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:07,800
Maybe not.

424
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,200
I don't know, but hey, let's see.

425
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,600
Now onto the bigger topic that's definitely been talked about lately.

426
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,320
I think that does need to be addressed.

427
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:24,160
So Tua has finally spoken out about, you know, his relationship with Brian Flores, former

428
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,800
Miami Dolphins head coach on the Dan Liebertard show.

429
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,640
Shout out to Dan Liebertard, by the way, for putting out this great content.

430
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,640
Now, I'm just going to read the quote.

431
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:35,640
It's going to be a long quote.

432
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:40,000
So bear with me folks, but I want to read the quote and then we're going to, you know,

433
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,000
discuss it.

434
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Okay.

435
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Cool.

436
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,000
So basically this is what Tua said on Brian Flores and I quote, if you woke up every

437
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,440
morning and I told you that you suck at what you did, that you don't belong doing what

438
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,480
you do, that you shouldn't be here, that this guy should be here, that you haven't earned

439
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,480
this right.

440
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,240
And then you have somebody else come in and tell you, dude, you are the best fit for this.

441
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,240
You are accurate.

442
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,560
You are the best, whatever you are this, you are that.

443
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,480
How would that make you feel listening to one or the other?

444
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,480
You see what I'm saying?

445
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:13,400
And then you hear it and hear it regardless of what it is, the good or the bad, and you

446
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,000
hear it more and more.

447
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,280
You start to actually believe that I don't care who you are.

448
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,400
You could be the president of the United States.

449
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,320
If you have a terrible person that's telling you things that you don't want to hear or

450
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,760
probably shouldn't be hearing, you're going to start to believe that about yourself.

451
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,960
That sort of what ended up happening.

452
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,880
It's basically been two years of training, training that out of me, not just me, but

453
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,320
a couple of the guys as well as that have been here since my rookie year all the way

454
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,560
till now.

455
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:52,640
Now this is a very bomb-drop, bombshell of a quote when it comes to it because he's

456
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:59,600
finally been able to speak about this because let's be real here, folks.

457
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,800
That entire situation with Brian Flores and the Dolphins was not a good situation.

458
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,200
It was just a nasty situation all around.

459
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,200
It really was.

460
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:18,280
When we really look at it, although the defense was pretty good, you can tell that too unmentally

461
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,800
was not there.

462
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:25,880
You can tell that at times in the season he was definitely checked out mentally and that

463
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,920
his confidence, his self-confidence about himself was definitely down.

464
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,040
You can definitely see that and it showed.

465
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:42,240
You know, this somewhat opens up to another bigger conversation that, listen, those coaches

466
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:48,160
that were under Bill Belichick have not been successful.

467
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,160
They have not.

468
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:55,560
They have not been successful and they are under the impression that they can act like

469
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,360
and do the same thing that Bill Belichick did with Tom Brady.

470
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:00,720
Let me tell you something here, folks.

471
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:06,040
Without relationship between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, you will never see a relationship

472
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,920
like that ever again.

473
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:15,360
You're talking about somebody who verbally would basically pick apart every single minute

474
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:19,920
detail that Tom Brady was doing and Tom took it on the chin.

475
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:20,920
Tom took it on the chin.

476
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,120
He took it on the chin and he just kept on pushing and he improved himself and he got

477
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:28,360
better.

478
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:32,440
Those coaches, Matt Patricia, I think, well, not Joe Douglas.

479
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,120
I forgot his name.

480
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:37,600
He was the coach for the Giants for a moment.

481
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:44,960
Brian Flores, Josh McDaniels, everywhere they went as head coaches have been a shit show.

482
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,120
Just an all-out shit show.

483
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:53,640
I'm talking about the biggest shit show you could possibly think of because why?

484
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,480
They think that, guess what?

485
00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,640
If Bill can do it, I can do it and that's the wrong mentality to have.

486
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:06,440
That's why Josh McDaniels got fired the way that he got fired because why?

487
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,840
He thought that he was Bill.

488
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,200
He thought that he could do the same thing that Bill do and it don't work like that.

489
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,200
It don't.

490
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,200
It don't.

491
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:20,520
Not to mention, their production wasn't really that good either.

492
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:21,840
We didn't look at it.

493
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,320
That's why Matt, what the whole situation with Matt Patricia?

494
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,680
That's why Darius Lane wanted to get traded to the Eagles because he could not handle,

495
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:38,840
I mean not handle, but it was just so much just downright harassment from someone like

496
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,680
a Matt Patricia that he's just like, no, the hell with this?

497
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,680
I can go.

498
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:45,680
I don't have to be here.

499
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,200
I can go because what you're not going to do is just disrespect me like this.

500
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,200
You're just not going to do it.

501
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,200
I'm sorry.

502
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,200
I'm a grown man just like you.

503
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,920
You're just not going to do that.

504
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,920
It shows.

505
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,440
It definitely shows.

506
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:06,360
We can, if we can be real here, that's probably why ownership probably took and changed the

507
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:11,040
mindset that they did because of what happened with Brian Flores.

508
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:17,320
There were multiple reporters, insiders, you name it, that were reporting these things

509
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:23,640
that there was a lot of friction in that locker room and on that team with Brian Flores and

510
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,640
company.

511
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,640
There was.

512
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,600
There were a lot of players that were definitely rubbed the wrong way.

513
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,360
Tua wasn't the only person.

514
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:35,040
Tua was just the only person that's come out publicly about it and said something about

515
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,040
it.

516
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:43,280
But for Tua to show this level of strength to finally talk about it, definitely says a

517
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:52,840
lot that he's finally come to peace and come to terms with that point in his career.

518
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,360
And now that he has, he definitely looks like he's in a better place.

519
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,480
He does.

520
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,760
And it shows.

521
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,800
When they hired Mike McDaniel, they definitely made a lot of changes.

522
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:11,600
Revan the offensive line, traded for Tyreek Hill, got Jalen Waddle, got Raheem Mostard

523
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,760
and company.

524
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:21,200
They just surrounded Tua with just not only weapons, but they tried to build up his confidence

525
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:27,560
even more, which is important because if your quarterback does not have any confidence,

526
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,120
they're really not going to show.

527
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:36,240
They're not going to be able to really, their mentors won't be there, basically, is what

528
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,720
I'm saying.

529
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:45,600
And it definitely looked like and sounded like Brian Flores was definitely destroying

530
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,040
his confidence week by week.

531
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,720
And that probably took a toll on Tua.

532
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,160
And it probably did.

533
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,840
And it shows.

534
00:29:53,840 --> 00:30:02,760
And not to be disrespectful, but that's probably why Brian Flores didn't get another head coaching

535
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:08,440
opportunity because they probably heard about all of those things.

536
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:16,200
GMs and owners and whatnot, they probably heard more in-depth information about what

537
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:22,760
happened with Brian Flores when he was in Miami than what we will probably ever know.

538
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,880
And they're probably like, no, we just can't have that.

539
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:32,480
And that's why you see a lot of times a lot of those coaches from that Bill Belichick

540
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:39,000
tree do not transition and get head coaching, Josh, because why?

541
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Number one, they're just their mentality to players is somewhat similar to bills and

542
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,040
players nowadays, they don't want that.

543
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,040
They don't care about that.

544
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,560
They don't give a damn about that.

545
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,560
But what they do value, though, is respect.

546
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,520
And if you as a coach are not giving them the respect and if you are not trying to coach

547
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:05,640
them and to help them to be better, but instead you are more of like being an ass about every

548
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:13,560
single small little thing and just being anal about every little detail and what they're

549
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:18,520
not doing and how they're not the best and that they're never going to be anything, that

550
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,240
weighs on you mentally.

551
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:26,760
Imagine coming to work every single day and your boss basically tells you, you're shit.

552
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,240
You're a horrible employee.

553
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,800
You're the worst employee I've ever had.

554
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:32,800
You'll never be anything.

555
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,080
You'll never progress.

556
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,280
You'll never achieve your goals and all those different types of things.

557
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:44,640
At first it won't affect you, but as time goes on, it starts to get into your psyche.

558
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,840
And then as time really continues to go on, at some point you'll start believing those

559
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:55,680
things and that's somewhat what happened with Tula's situation.

560
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:02,040
He'd somewhat believed that he didn't deserve to be a quarterback for the Dolphins, didn't

561
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,160
deserve to do the best that he could do.

562
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,760
And it basically took for them to fire Brian Flores and to bring in someone like I might

563
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,520
make Daniels to be like, hey, listen, we're going to build you up.

564
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,200
We're going to figure out what your weaknesses, we're going to try to master them as best

565
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,760
as possible and we're going to try to work with you and try to make you a better quarterback.

566
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,800
And it shows because why?

567
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,520
He got the big deal.

568
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,880
That signals that he is the franchise quarterback.

569
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:33,320
They made a lot of great moves just to surround him with weapons and pieces and whatnot.

570
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:40,800
So all in all, they definitely made the right decision now than to keep Brian Flores because

571
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:46,160
again, like I said before, early on into this episode, it just sounded like it was just

572
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:51,600
a storm of just bull every single day with that team.

573
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,840
But I'm going to end it here.

574
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:53,840
We're going to keep it live.

575
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,800
We're going to keep it light, keep it right.

576
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,520

592
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:01,360
apparently, Shifter is, well, Adam Shifter is basically reporting that, you know, there's

593
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,000
a chance that things could heat up between, you know, with the whole brand IU saga and

594
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,160
there probably could be an end to this, you know, conundrum.

595
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,560
So who knows, maybe when, maybe when this episode comes out, maybe we'll, we'll finally

596
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:15,560
find something out.

597
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,200
You know, once it does break, you know, we will, you know, talk about it, report about

598
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,440
it and all those different types of things.

599
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,320
So as always, I hope I gave you guys the fix that you love and or need.

600
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:26,320
I love you guys.

601
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,480
I appreciate you guys so much for your support.

602
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,840
We're only five episodes away from 30 episodes.

603
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,680
I know cannot wait, cannot wait, cannot wait.

604
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,200
As always, peace of love.

605
00:34:36,200 --> 00:35:04,040
Let's go deep into this, first quemad nuevo.

606
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,040
You
