happened?
In Indy? Why? I mean, why are you not still in Indy? I guess
would be the simple question. It's a great question. It's
a great question and completely
fair question. And
sometimes I wonder the same
to be honest. I think,
you know, I think it was a year that had
highs and lows ups and downs. The, the way we finished
the way I finished was
was poor was poor, and I think that
definitely
was tough to swallow tough to finish like that, especially
when we thought we had a chance. And
to really do something special and make a run and
we just kind of collapsed and I didn't play good enough
well enough at the end there.
And so, you know, things happen. I always believe things
happen for a reason. And so,
you know, you get an opportunity. Still got
an opportunity to come out and prove myself and play the game
that I love.
And I look forward to doing that. Chris ballad, was saying
at the combine that he thought the criticism of you was mostly
fair and that would be a good experience for you and you
learn from it, and I'm just wondering, what was your
perspective of those comments and did you grow from
criticism?
Which criticism specifically. Just she said
there's a lot of about. Yeah, good and bad,
but I don't read so.
Carson Wentz at the ribbon-cutting, for his new
McDonald's franchise today.
I just can't get over that, get up.
So
here's the key. This is the bottom line.
Because I floated this Theory last week and I have heard
through the grapevine that there's some accuracy to my
instinct on this for a change.
He got kicked out of his house in Philly by one family member
landed with another family member in Indy and was able to
think it's not
me. It's the Eagles. I'm fine.
I have safe Refuge here with my Uncle Frank Reich. Well now
he's kicked out of his uncle's house and he's moving in with
a stranger. He's got to wake up now. He's got to see what he's
doing wrong.
Now not taking coaching holding on to the football for too
long. Treating each play. Like it's the last play of
the fourth quarter, the Super Bowl,
not being a good leader. I mean, you know, Shireen it
always frustrates me when I see someone
who has the hard parts of a job mastered but stumbles over
the easy parts, and that's what Carson Wentz is.
Yeah, my it's pretty incredible. And you just wonder
if Frank Reich, can't get the most out of Carson Wentz. Why
should anyone believe that Washington's going to be able
to do that since their last Super Bowl victory, in the 91
season, they
played 32 different starting quarterbacks. They've had nine,
the past three seasons and here we are with Ron Rivera yet.
Starting over at that position. Is the third time? Going to be
the charm for them him. He tried Ryan Fitzpatrick.
He tried Kyle. Alan. He tried Alex Smith. He tried to Wayne
Haskins. He's tried pretty much everyone. He could possibly
try. And now he's on to Carson Wentz. So
we'll see if it'll work out for Washington. If it doesn't there
in the market again, for a quarterback. And you,
you don't have to look for far and wonder why these teams that
remain bad year after year after year a mediocre year
after year. After year. I mean, this is a team that's gone
a long time without having a winning record 2015. 2016
I think was their last. Time. They had a winning record. They
did go to the playoffs,
but you don't have to look far, you look at the quarterback
position and when you don't have a good one, Mike, you
don't have a chance to win and that's why we're seeing all
this quarterback, movement,
speed, give good, quarterbacks or, or not time will tell
Mitchell. True Biscay.
Here's true, Biscay the former number two, overall, the pick
pick in the draft. Number two overall pick in the draft, easy
for him to say from five years ago, meeting with the media for
the first time in Pittsburgh talking about proving himself
to a new fan base and a new team.
I'm in a situation where I have to prove myself
back on the field and that's what I'm looking forward to do.
I think you're always betting on yourself and that sense and
I definitely am in this case. So I'm just lucky to land in
a situation in Pittsburgh. I'm looking forward to playing for
this city and this coaching staff and being a part of this
great culture.
But yeah, you got to bet on yourself and just trust
what you're capable of.
Yeah, you do have to bet on yourself, especially when
you're a guy who was a backup last year and didn't play and
somehow not playing for a year raised, his stock in the NFL
but he signed a two-year deal with fourteen point two, five
million.
He can make up to 27 million, which
I assume includes playing every game
doing really well, possibly curing cancer along the way to
get the full 27 million. I mean, some of the stuff that
they'll load up into these incentives, is obscene and
ridiculous and unattainable,
but but he gets the chance. Assuming
he's not the Steelers version of Mike Glennon five years ago.
Glennon is a guy. The Bears signed
in March,
right? Before they drafted Mitchell. True Biscay and Glen,
and became the afterthought. We don't know what the Steelers.
Think of any of these guys in the draft to keep their cards
close to the vest but he's a perfect short-term placeholder,
throwing other teams off the scent in the event. The
Steelers do have a chance to get a quarterback. They really
like, I know this should mean it was a long 20 years for
the Steelers, the quarterback position. Mission between Terry
Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger
and they surely don't want to live through that. Again. The
sooner they can find a young future franchise quarterback.
The better off. They're going to be the problem, is
they too rarely draft in a position to get one.
Well, and I would rather have Mitch or Mitchell. True Biscay,
then Carson Wentz. I mean, when you look at his record, 25 and
13 in three years as a starter. Last three years in
the starters under Matt Nagy. Those three years
and I thought it was a pretty good quarterback. And I just
think this is going to be a match that's going to be
perfectly made in Pittsburgh. And it's it's very low risk,
and it's very high reward
and this could really pay off.
The Steelers
and you think back Mike the 2018 season Cody Parky. Mrs.
That field goal a double doink and you wonder how things would
have changed from Mitchell. True Biscay and how they would
have changed for the Bears.
We look at his stats, 26 of 43 in that game 303 yards and
a touchdown. He outplayed, Nick Foles in that game. The bear
should have won that game
like the movie sliding doors. They win that game. Everything
could have change for the Bears and for Mitchell Trio Biscay,
but I'm glad God, he's getting a second chance to really make
good as a starter because I think he can play in this
league.
Now. I'm not going to do the miles Simmons, bit and act.
Like I haven't seen all these movies that may come up. I'm
not familiar with the movie. Sliding doors. I'm going to
have to go,
it's fantastic. Yeah, you guys soon? You're endorsing good.
All right. I don't know anything about. Okay.
All right. Well, it gives me something to watch whenever
life slows down. We do need
