the the real skull clap at US Bank Stadium. The Vikings have
only one preseason Road game this year because they have
nine at home.
Let me start I'm going to start well Serenity. Now. Serenity
Now goes to jail and hurts. This is a combination of what
happened on Friday night and what Nick suriani the coach of
the Eagles had to say about Jalen hurts
on Sunday. He took a big hit from Jets linebacker Quincy
Williams on the sideline on Friday night. Nick suriani
lost At his stuff yelling over
to Robert Saleh,
what the f solid. However game
Tony says
he said I wasn't mad at Roberts. All I was mad about
what happened there is are what the f. Salah great and and
solid made it was an egregious lie. Awful hit
the fondation is laughing behind. They're
like yeah I know.
And again he knew the guy.
Apply to hit that. It should have been applied, but then
here's the key. Jalen hurd's was completely unaffected,
that's happened. Bowl game. He said
after the game, he says, look, it's football, I took a hit,
it's no big deal, he's fine with it. And that's where
syriana praised him, nothing bothers. The guy I can be
yelling at him, he's not affected,
the stands, collapse in Washington and almost break.
His leg that happened late last year, he's not affected by it.
I mean, seriously, actually cited that example gets hit
along the sidelines. He's fine with it and that
that He now that
that even-keeled attitude
rubs off on the guys around him except see Ronnie, obviously,
because he suriani is not influenced by his quarterbacks
demeanor. I love, I love suriani and again, I think he's
one of the new breed of coaches. Again, that just it
wears it on
his sleeve. He knows how to communicate with his team.
They love that. He's in the Foxhole with them.
No, it's I find it refreshing.
Now, let's just say this because
I think this again, that was egregious and late and stupid,
you know? No, by a young player to hit Jalen hurd's that late
definitely. But I think what we learned a little bit you know,
and some of the things and what we're hearing from the NFL,
the quarterbacks aren't, they're not good enough for you
pass any more on the wall? I'm slowing up and I'm three yards
from the sideline and you can't hit me anymore.
The the quarterbacks have been cheating the game that way
and I think that is something that is being made known to
the NFL TS and the defensive players know that. To.
And if the quarterback ain't out of bounds, they are getting
hit. Not if you're in the air on the way out of bounds or it
looks like you might go out of bounds, you are going to get
lambasted. This is the way the league is going to go this
year. They can't how many like we talked about this when we
were out in the Hall of Fame game. How many times a year? Do
we see? Josh Alla Norma homes,
run to the sideline and act like they're going to pull up
and then Tippy tip toe down the sideline for 10 more yards
because everyone goes. Whoa. So
this is Then I think the running quarterback will have
to get used to
look, this is the thing that got me dragged before Super
Bowl 50 for the idea that you have to treat the quarterback
who runs like a running back even if the officials aren't
going to view them that way but
you and I are on the same page there's a push for the officials
to understand that once that quarterback crosses the line of
scrimmage with the ball, he's a running back and there was
a flag. It was the Patriots Bills game and I think the NFL
recognizes shouldn't been a
For a hit on Josh Allen because all we got to protect
the quarterback know, you don't. Once he's got the ball and he's
down field, he's no different than anybody else but the thing
is
the boundaries change. So if you have coaches telling
defensive players, I want you to hit that guy when he runs
you're going to have guys to get hit late
because instead of
the defender pulling up on the edge of the sidelines and
letting the guy go five or ten more yards, you're going to
have the defender, apply the
hit and sometimes he's going to apply the hit when he shouldn't
and that was the First thing, I thought of when I saw that,
right, Roberts Allah is telling his guys who hit
the quarterback. Runs Quincy Williams. Just got a little
overly aggressive. Exactly exactly right. But yeah, and
then, you know, and of course, who they play in
week one, aren't they playing the Ravens right? We talked
about, so they're getting used to run, they're getting ready
for running quarterbacks and yeah, that's gonna get
the Jets. Ya
know, they got the Ravens. Yeah. Right. Right Jets. The
Jets, don't have the Jets are playing this. Yes, that's
Ambassador guarantee. They would win a game. The Jets
should want the Jets on their schedule. To get the one in. Oh
yeah. Correct.
I had a brain fart going up. All right, I think I'm gonna go
still,
you know,
room to learn or, you know, welcome to the NFL. I'm room to
learn and I'm going to go with Malik Willis here,
Malik Willis first off, very weird circumstances where he
got pulled in the middle of a drive and the third quarter of
the football game, the other night against the, the Ravens,
Malik Wills. I love the way he looked.
I really did, he's big, he looks and plays big. We saw him
run with the Great. Wait, you know, highlight touchdown and
his his arm
and his motion and throwing to me, it pops off the screen,
I love Malik, Willis's motion. But at the same time, you know,
he turned down.
Some he was to run. He was too liberal I on his legs and
I think he said that after the game, you see here, I mean,
there's real talent and this kid, there's no doubt about
that. But wow, when you watch a back, he missed a land. That
they're nice little flick of the wrist. It's awesome.
But yes. Ray Bowles said it, he didn't Throw the ball. Yeah, he
was looking at the rush a little too much. He was trying
to make plays that way
and when I watch back that film a little yesterday there was
there was people open and he's just got to learn that a little
bit. But this is where I also wonder
because so rare to do that. I almost felt like
it was a calculated
Thing by ver able to do
just a hush thee.
It's Ryan Tannehill is our quarterback,
right? It was like
okay he got out there, he did some good things
but He didn't do some good things too and I'm going to let
everybody know about this, so we don't have an issue at
the quarterback controversy, so I just found that kind of
interesting. I don't know if I'm right there or anything
like that. Like I said,
I really like the guys Motion in the way it looks,
but I found that to be kind of fascinating
look that I think that there's
some degree of Disconnect between variable and GM. John
Robinson, I think it was there with Julio Jones. I think we've
seen it there with other players or the AJ Brown Traders
AJ bright. Exactly. AJ Brown. Yeah. Who could forget that?
I just did.
But I
This may have been something in variable expenses coming, at
you already making my life hard, enough, your training
wage a brown. Now you bring it, a quarterback that he was going
to think, is the next starter. And I got to try to balance all
this. Thank you so much for that.
Next time for me.
Kevin kolbert. Did it again now look, it's going to take a lot
for the Steelers. Have a draft class that Rivals 1974 but it
could be the top two guys. They took this year. End up being
pretty damn good. All the talk about the quarterback
position with Kenny Pickett. Holy crap George pick, holy crap.
And the folks who
Have watched Georgia carefully in recent years know that
George Pickens is great but my God he fell to pick number 52.
He was the 11th receiver taken. Surely the buzz is already
going to start in the questions going to be asked about why it
took so long for this guy
to come off the board. This is the throw from Mason Rudolph.
26-yard touchdown, look at this. The concentration,
the catch in the toes in TouchDown for George Pickens. And
the thing that impressed me even more than that,
this was in the first quarter of the game, he's got a guy up
on him and he what the best way to keep a guy off you in press
Is to start putting guys on their asses, which is exactly
what he did look at this. But I mean, my goodness the force
from that to put the to put it that is an NFL defensive back
that George Pickens put on his ass with a mild shove.
Yeah yeah. No no question. I mean no question it. We've been
getting a lot of Buzz.
He would have been a first round pick. If he could have
played a full season last year. He had a he had a knee injury
or foot injury I can't remember something, lower leg and only
really played in the She'll championship game and the SEC
Championship game.
But, yeah, I mean I was thinking the same thing Mike
these damn Steelers. Here they go there.
They got some, I four wide receivers and that was pretty
special.
All right, I want to go, I'm gonna say,
you know, just
I don't even know what I have my phrase. I want to hear,
I just want to say just its preseason week. One don't start
a quarterback controversy yet. All right, just
because I sit there and watch the jaw.
Ants New England game
and I get done. All right, and my man, Michael Irvin comes on,
who I love. I love Michael Irvin. So I'm having fun with
him here. But he starts pumping, Tyrod, Taylor, and
I missed kind of some of the start of the game and
everything else. So I'm going back to watch. I came into
the house, actually,
and he was talking
and I was like, whoa, Tyrod, Taylor must have tore it up. Oh,
there's going to be a controversy here.
First off Daniel. Jones did well.
He had a ball dropped on the two-yard line, that would have
Been a first down to continue to drive,
but then I go back and watch the game
and I want to be, like, why are you starting something Michael?
Irvin I know everybody wants to jump on, Daniel Jones. And
again, I'm having fun here with Michael Irvin. So Michael, if
you want to crap on me later, feel free. I don't care. We're
buddies,
but I just was like,
Tyrod Taylor did some good things. Sure. But he also could
have thrown four interceptions in the game. I mean, he
legitimately
and I just don't like how sometimes
there's, we
On people after you know one game or just because it's easy
to jump on them from last year and all that. So that bother
me. So
I just want to say, don't start something quite yet. Let's let
the preseason play out. The one thing that continues to Rattle
around is his idea of the Giants making a play for Jimmy
G. Yeah, I know,
I know, you know, I mean again I I wouldn't do that if I were
them. I certainly wouldn't and Brian De ball. He's
he's certainly going to know some of the things that we've
talked about with Jimmy G or was in New England to wear you
know again.
You connect the dots there and New England. I mean,
you know, we heard Julian Edelman and some of those
players talked about it, a few weeks ago, that he was going to
play a game and decided on Saturday not to play. So I and
again I don't know if he's necessarily
any better than or more talented than Daniel Jones or
Tyrod Taylor either. So I don't really like that idea.
