[Music] what’s up what’s up it’s the AR theot experience with d I’m ARA Mo and that’s my main man di what’s good bro man everything’s good deck everything’s good you dripped out draped out looking the part per usual I got me on a yes indeed shirt selfpromo type cono over here got family in town deck you know what I’m saying my my my reign of like consecutive really good days of golf being played kind of like broke a little bit but I felt like it was some I felt like I got cheated I felt like somebody tried to trick me by making me you know do things that I typically want to do on the golf course through my rhythm off my routine off so I’m going seek comfort with that one what’s the story there I’m just saying de you know like I like to warm up to it I I don’t I don’t I don’t like to start off the top row not on the golf course I like to warm up to it it makes me feel better and I can get a couple good holes in I can’t add any hydration that might alter my focus though too early on the thing so you know when that gets thrown into the equation too early it throws off the whole Rhythm throws off the whole rotation and then I’m in a dog fight it turned dog figh is yesterday bro it was real dog fighti is by the time it got about me I felt good but it was on whole 16 it’s too late so I felt like I got tricked that’s all I’m saying and and I’m learning I’m not going to make the same mistakes hopefully but with the people how are you Tred how were you fooled you know you hit your first shot first shot was good but it was a Sunday Sundays lot people out there cart people out there C people comes by oh you thirsty now my mind like man I ain’t had a sandwich yet I ain’t had no breakfast yet next thing I know we’re we’re we’re getting beverages I’m like oh maybe it’s orange juice you know sometimes you get little orange juice to start the day off it was not orange juice that’s all I would say okay it was definitely not orange juice and the more we consume the beverage the more my golf game just yeah it was going the opposite direction de it went the opposite direction yeah there’s fine balance with that stuff I I would agree and I learned the hard wayday got try to find the pocket I learn I learned the hard way yesterday that was not yeah that was not what I was looking for man it threw me off my my whole balance like it was a onepoint de I’m looking down at the ball and I’m just like bro it’s over I just laugh to myself I was like it was over doesn’t even matter what you going to do right now it’s not going to happen it’s not going to work so but I’m back now now so going forward I’ve learned my lesson man I need three holes in before before any of that just I can get my confidence up cuz I’m not like you you’re nice nice I’ve seen you golf where it’s like yo it doesn’t matter the time of day you’re always going to hit it right down the middle of the Fairway I only do that when I’m like perfectly in the perfect place anything that alters that it throws it all off and it got altered yesterday threw the whole Rhythm off man I was fighting I was fighting AR I fighting for my life d seven8 n 10 I’m just like bro I’m just here I’m just getting exercise that’s what it turned into let me get steps I’m just going to try to get some steps in so yeah bro sounds like a war it it because I wasn’t prepared de you know when it catches you off guard it’s been times when me and you have had convos and you’ve come back and you like bro I thought it was this but it turned into this and this is where we are now that was what I was fighting yesterday and I wasn’t prepared for it because I thought I was going to wake up out of bed you know brush my teeth get a little golf in and then start the activity not brush teeth get activated and then golf on the back so that that was not how it was supposed to go so yeah D threw me all the way off man but I’m back though I’m here I’m alive now yeah relax Sunday turned into turn up Sunday it turned into yeah you you know how it is it wasn’t supposed to go there and it went there and you’re just like bro how did this happen but shout out to family shout out to my brother-in-law May he’s in town from Cali man so yeah it’s like that sometimes bro it’s like that sometimes but I blame him you had fun I did my golf game was not fun at all though yeah that’s frustrating the golf game was the opposite of F I was like yo just these past couple times I’ve been out here it’s like yo way nicer but I’m figuring that was it bro so I’m seeking Comfort well no I’m telling you you you do have to find a balance with that cuz you could have a run when you’re drinking on the course and it’s almost like a performance enhancer like I’ve heard people say three four holes you’re in the pocket it’ll like relax you everything’s feeling good that’s what I’ve heard yeah you’re hitting dots into the green the driving’s awesome bro you make a nice 20f footer you’re feeling good but then yeah bruh then it goes a little too far and your game’s rough yeah yeah it we’re from you got you got to find the right pocket yep find the right pocket if you can keep those vibes that you were feeling going for those like three four holes when you at your Peak if you could if you could extend that like that’s the goal you want to extend that for as long as possible you don’t you don’t want to go over the peak I went over the Peak bro and a lot of people I mean I think most people do about 80 90% of the time yeah D you got to be a Savvy veteran to stay in that pocket de I was real life for full golf I was real life over the peak and then it became I’m swimming I’m trying to get back you know how that and it was like yo I don’t how did I get to this point on this beautiful Sunday I was like it was 1:00 what am I right now I just had that feeling like what am I like ah but it was was a Vibe though it was definitely a Vibe but now that I’ve recovered I’m back I’m like yeah I’m yeah I need three holes like the first three holes on the course let me warm that up then then I’m good to go then I’m ready yeah yeah that could be a good road to what I’m hoping forward that now is that frowned upon cuz you’re the golfer I need to know like if I’m golfing with the person and they’re like bro the cart person just pulled up I’m C like what are the rules on that I was trying to be like you just got to do you you just got to do you give me the regular orang juice please you got to do you like is that you don’t have to put the grapefruit juice with the others just just put the just put the juice right there just just give me m like that please CH yeah like if the rest of your group wants to have some drinks on the whole one and it’s yeah just you not taking the drinks I mean hey it’s you you got to hey you got to you got to decide for yourself man like I’m not going to judge de said I’m definitely not going to judge not going to judge they could just be looking at you like this like I’m not going to Jud oh yes wow oh okay I would not I promise guess I won’t judge but yeah bro I hope others wouldn’t either I think you just got to do you I’m going to bring that up next time I’m like yeah I’m just just trying to do me over here all right guys yeah so be left I just don’t feel like it’s going to be as like accepted as you’re making it sound right now you made it sound real just wholesome like yo it’s all good don’t worry about it I don’t believe it’s actually going to feel like that and I think because on the golf course it’s going to be like just lingering on as it goes on I’m assuming that’s kind of how things went yesterday that’s a short possibility High went on the back end yeah cuz I was like yo I’m I’m fighting I can’t I’m anymore well I’m saying even on the first tool you you kind of got peer pressured in huh there was a strong possibility that happened yes there was a strong possibility that happened bro yes yes there’s a very strong possibility but it was just like yo once I was ready to tap out I’m like yo I just do and it came down this do you want the the the rest of this golf out to be a success and we make it out of here or is it going to be clean up on whole 13 we don’t want that part you know what I mean so you know sometimes you got pick choose man pick choose yeah but it was yeah don’t feel like it was as socially accepted as you’re making it sound man yeah yeah if you were golf with me I would have been like it’s cool man why you smirk it see it’s that smirk right there anytime you bring up certain things you put that smirk on and I don’t feel like it’s sincere I don’t feel like it’s it’s pure I don’t feel like getting ition are what they’re supposed to be I just think it’s ulterior motives when you smirk like that feel like I can see it now I’m out there yo di bro I’m good yall dang hey hey hey guys hey hey it’s all right most doesn’t want anything today guys just let M be over there in the kitty section with the kitty cter all right it’s okay hey you want to call Gray up too you you and gray can hold hands on the next hole and y’all can be good get your a little juice box I I just feel like was that said yesterday no but sometimes you could feel those type of energies that’s all I’m saying man man so I just need to come up here and vent for a little bit this is a safe SP a safe place all right yeah I it is and you know why I have this perspective and why I think I am being sincere to a degree to I think to a to a good degree too is I went on that uh that run what was it 50 days you did you did 50 days no booze so there there were moments like that where you f the pressure yeah yeah you felt how they got at you yeah you know I had something going on within when I’m just like no you know I’m I’m sticking with this no boo I’m do I’m going to do me that’s what I’m saying you you do you okay you do you cuz you know I’m typically plant-based you know sure I like to live a plant-based life in all aspects all right it’s healthy that way it’s good for your cholesterol good for your blood pressure stress levels you know plant-based diet man so I try to be plant-based with a little bit of seafood in there all right but yeah man that that that that y through the whole through the whole equation I’m like PL base and hydration like that I don’t need surf and turf you feel me sometimes just just keep me on keep me on the ground keep me on the grass I don’t need to yeah the surf in Turf yeah it can get rough at times man so but here we are we’re back and it’s going to be a great one today man it’s going to be a great one today but uh how’s your weekend man everything was good with you you ain’t get activated too crazy right you you survived you survived the weekend yeah everything’s good that’s why I like that I golfed as well I had a good time uh you still been playing as good as last I seen you play cuz you beening I’ve been playing good I heard you cooked when we was out there you cooked they was out there like you’ve been on this little bit of a run and it’s always when you’re talking like oh yeah you caught caught another dub yeah see you always y you can catch that you’re not that far from me bro you’re not you can get this all right you’re just on a run right now bro so so how’ you play with you shoot man we did 2v2 scramble okay we got the DB we we won by uh two holes or two strokes I’m sorry okay okay yeah okay okay one by two strs I like it I like it man yeah it just saw it all around we we were down early uh we were down one for the first like four five holes then we caught a little run for two three holes swung it to go up one closed out the front nine Talk That Talk going up two and kind of just held that lead throughout I think we got up three at one point and then they snagged another hole and yeah that that’s that all right all right I felt like a golfer I was watching the the senior open this weekend to oh yeah swear bro I was like yo this is kind of cool I feel like the seniors aren’t as good as the like PGA guys though I feel like they was missing too old yeah they was Miss it was like they still smack the ball they could get up there they get over 300 yeah but I definitely felt like they they weren’t as clean putting play on the PGA tour anymore it quau me I was like yo I’ve I’ve missed I’ve missed those type of putts before I was like you you don’t do that you you supposed to make all them so I felt it was like y I’m getting there I’m getting there bro it’s probably the arthritis kicking in yeah they arthritis mine was surfing Turf so right yeah but we back though baby so let’s go let’s go man it was Vibe though Vibe weekend man shout out shout out good to hear that’s inde like I said I’m becoming you man I’m becoming a golfer like you one day like 30 years down the line I’m actually going to be halfway decent I think it’s going to take about 30 years to get decent though it depends like cuz boy you know what if you want you get out there every day and dedicate couple hours two three hour four hours to working on your game you you could expedite that process a lot but I don’t know how much time you got I i’ be trying I’m trying but you yeah your family man I I I tried I TR we’re lot of hat like family man company man you know what I’m saying I’m just try to be a good friend just try to just live life you know what I mean like just all aspects but you got to get that golf game right man got to get the golf game right all right all right so with that being the case though let’s start the show like how we normally do cuz we’re going to have some fun this morning man it’s a beautiful day to day too man I got a de thought and I actually want to read a couple of these comments actually yeah good calling it I was jump the reason I jumped the gun Harley Taylor caught me off guard okay I’m looking in the comment section you know how we do when we just kind of you know doing our intro and Harley had said I’ve been watching for two years finally made a thing to comment all the way from Missouri love you most and was like yo you finally had a chance to comment on the show like respected that Harley and the fact that been tapping it for two years and just now getting a chance to comment but the dedication the support I like that it CAU me off I was like yo salute you salute you so that’s what made me want to just jump but let me not jump the gun d yeah I appr sometimes I mess up sometimes I be tripping if anybody’s been around me they know hey yo most a trip on the cas sometimes we tripping let me I was tripping I was tripping it happens we back every every every every like miix re remix You Know Remix in the building too shout out to you baby so now let’s get it going on how we do do we got a deep thought today D what what you got for us on the table D but I also wanted to read comment here man Rock up man it’s your to put things in perspective for this year do X concept says 2024 is now 50% complete oo respect on that hope everyone have been doing good with their New Year’s resolutions and everything so far so good I I’m hoping right yeah I I think I’m I cuz that comment just made me reflect a little bit it’s like did I did I accomplish everything I wanted to accomplish okay okay I think I’m on the right path for things left some out there left some out there though are are you sharing can we share or not no I think it’s just with uh personal perspective yeah like I don’t know yeah obviously I’ve been wanting to be more healthy get in shape and that type of stuff it’s like I I have been going in the right direction I would agree ultimately though uh yeah have I left a few things out there yeah sure yeah like what what I mean is like yeah there’s times where I go off the rails a little with my diet okay maybe booze a little too much here there like try to cut that out a little bit more but like I’m I’m going in a much better direction for sure let’s go maybe even saving money and spending more wisely like I think I’m going in a decent Direction with actually no I’m not probably no I’m not going hey you’re funny for actually no no spending too much on gear I mean you guys see see the Wardrobe upgrades DB though bro you are stupid well the problem is again like it’s it’s tough cuz I do have a b bunch of nice clothes I think I bought over the last year and a half two years but as my body’s transforming here MH it the the sizing just it keeps switching up it’s it’s it’s so annoying I have a bunch of stuff but then I look in my dresser I look uh with my clothes hanging up I’m like sometimes it just doesn’t feel like I have anything to wear because like the fits are off yeah because it’s like I bought this when I was at this size but now I’m at this size and I get exactly what you’re saying that’s a little frustrating that’s a little frustrating yeah but I think I’ve yeah I think I’ve done good like that that 50 days no booze that was good bro that was a Vibe was like I wasn’t expecting that I I didn’t think I could go over a month yeah when a good 50 days I love it man man I love it I’m was glad to see that you you know set your mind out to it you stuck with it and then you came off of it when you were ready it wasn’t like a peer pressure thing it wasn’t a oh man I feel bad was like yo you just when you was ready to Vibe I’ll be vibing like I think that’s hard bro I might go on another run here soon too might go on another run we’ll see yeah okay okay yeah I think I’m uh I think I’m due for another run salute you there bro it’s a good time man it was I like that what shoot man you being transparent I guess I be a little transparent too so far so good on what I was trying to accomplish this year I said I wanted to be a little bit more buttoned up with the content stuff man turns with the overall production of it man more so the planning of it strategic stuff like that and also being more active on the YouTube space I feel like you know been checking some of that off I like that now I’m still working on being a Tinky bit more healthy dick I just got I got a little bit more we all that’s what I mean a Tinky B I think we’ all I bet you the chat could attest with too we’ve all we’ve all left some as a whole I’m we could all do a little better yeah as a whole I’m like I love the general like I feel like I’m I’m great right but it’s like yo it’s in the words of Coach Tomley it’s more meat on the bone that’s a little more meat on the bone yeah I could just I just got a little bit more I could be but this is my problem too deep part of me I’ll be like yo all right let’s lock in let’s let’s go all the way with it and then I’ll be like yo but you only got one life and you got to give and you got to you know what mean so I play this game of all right I don’t want to do this I don’t want to do all right I’m G do it anyways cuz I just like it and then you might do it a little too much yeah I got it lock back in you know so that’s kind of like where I’m at right now I’m in I’m in that little bit phas and I don’t want to Blade with people but I’m real situational like if it’s people that I really really rock with I’m way more inclined to like I’ll eat a little bed I’ll eat a little later I’m like yo I don’t even like to eat this late but if I’m with the gang it’s like all right man if this is the vibe this is the vibe so yeah bro but as a whole though man we rocking we working so I would say my first half of the year since we are 50% here I say I’ve been locked in I’ve been better at the house too that was the other part I was like I got better at the house since I be taking work home I’m technically always at the crib but sometimes you know I take it with me it’s like you can’t take it with you you can’t be playing all the day you can’t be trying to take over the world 24 hours a day so salute that man salute that but it’s the pinky in the brain man it’s Pinky in the brain man it’s always one of just big Vision big picture and yeah so you got to learn to unplug that thing and gol be helping with that so shout out you for putting me on the golf man yeah yeah I do have a de thought as well man like dude the way that you gonna make us do 11:00 a.m. shows if you coming in with this type of energy I’m just saying 9:00 a.m. is too early for me that’s like my breaking point I’m like ah does seem seem like I’m a little sharper right now yeah this 11 a.m. I’m like de I don’t know this 11 is like yeah I like your Vibe right now man it came in with I got this I said I got this I’m dripped out I got that I’m like yo all right d I’m about to just turn the show over to you bro yeah I love the energy man loving it okay so this actually popped into my mind over the weekend why popcorn in movie theaters why is it so synonomous with movie theaters o I would say it’s cheap it’s something that you really can’t mess up and it’s easy to make it he and taste really good with butter and salt and pepper right little garlic salt that type of stuff hot sauce if you want to as well I would go with that initially but outside of that I couldn’t tell you why Popcorn versus like regular potato chips or applesauce cry out like just any other like type of food yeah well you hit the nail on the head with your first answer cheap let’s go popcorn was around back in like the late 1800s I believe I guess the exact yeah the exact date doesn’t matter but whenever popcorn first came out it was very popular at basically everything outside of theaters and like movie theaters cuz obviously like theaters and plays those have been around right for for decades for Generations how long right so whenever movie theaters came about they tried to replicate the theater Vibe and be more like hoyy toyy and oh n n n almost like like the buttoned up movie like a theater like a show yeah they were going for that and because drink your wine and how you crackers and cheese when films first came out there was actually no sound so you had to be literate to go and watch them there would be subtitles or something yeah mhm yep yep so when the Great Depression hit things started to change for movie theaters needed to get people in there somehow some way and have people spend and the whatever they were serving whatever food and whatever drinks they were serving in there were a little too expensive so they try pocorn everyone Lov popcorn like I said everyone loved popcorn outside of the theater and every everything else that they were doing in life yeah was a popular product so theaters that lasted were the ones that started introducing popcorns during the Great Depression that is wild yeah so kind of like when Co happened we saw people stem from always being in house to or always being at a location to do more of the digital stuff and we saw how that has like opened up a lot of doors so the Great Depression is the person or the event that we get to thank for popcorn being synonymous to being at all theaters now yeah I like that though that’s kind of how it that’s kind of how it did yeah and then it’s just like people like popcorn yeah and because I think of popcorn and peanuts almost the same like peanuts I think of like at bars popcorns always think of at movies and that does make perfect sense the cheap element of it shut up yeah I think it was like five or 10 cents during the Great Depression so people could afford that I didn’t realize that theaters were view like the movie cuz I know like theaters as a whole like plays and that cuz even now Broadway is still big like that you still go to Broadway you still got to wear you know dress up nice suit coat stuff like that but I never do movie theater specifically had that same type of Decor when it first came out yeah interesting D you on fire at 11:00 a.m. bro de you’re on fire you doop a movie dude so you hit something that already hit and it’s popcorn you know I like me some popcorn that’s good for you too ain’t too heavy you know it’s easy on the butter sometimes easy on the butter but shout out bro yeah shout out I always wonder who was the first person to like invent popcorn like how did you come to this like let me just take this put this over this fire and let’s just see what happens like maybe that could be for tomorrow oh never know shout out to the de thought though man shout out to the de thought bro 11:00 a.m. de is wow 11:00 a.m. bro you hitting different at 11: a.m. man I don’t know what it is you got good rest you maybe you have brunch or you breakfast I don’t know but like yo I didn’t have the best of rest though to be honest I was telling you that before we this true this is crazy maybe it’s because it’s not at nine: if he had a rough night of rest and then it’s 9:00 a.m. then it’s like maybe I maybe I did get enough sleep it was just sporadic sleep it was not consistent sleep I went to bed early but then I woke up around 4: couldn’t get back to sleep until like I don’t know probably like eight jeez then I woke up for this so like maybe the hours add up yeah to like good amount of sleep but I tell you as long as you’re getting that six six is like they say like the minimum level of optimum and then seven is like that sweet spot then anything after that you playing house money definitely heck yeah I like it then and uh so shoot shout out shout out to the sleep I was Lally got distracted my man Greg gger is like yo did you watch UFC yes we did watch that shout out to Alex Pera kicked my man’s head completely off

all right so love hard man and you know just hope that the odds are in your favor and that the love is reciprocated cier what’s up guys miss yall I’ve been riding the high of the Celtics winning the chip last time Celtics wanted the Steelers want it as well talk that talk hash sabotage 7 why can’t it happen again why can’t it happen again deep why can’t it there’s no reason it can’t why can’t it happen again that’s what I’m saying there’s no reason it can’t come on man we got the pieces in place everything we need man why not us the Celtics did win it which is kind of crazy but yeah if that is the case cuz that would have been 10 yeah the big three no oh shoot good call that’s when they won they ended up going back lost 10 to La that year yeah that was the poasa Lamar odm team yeah oo so yeah cuz we lost in 10 as well respect historic on historic and that was I remember lowkey saying an article it was like yo title to versus title to oh that’s title to that’s title to I remember that shout out Steeler Nation on fire Todd Gurley said f no to getting traded to the Steelers which I don’t understand understand why he would say no to the Steelers at what point in his career because you got remember Le’Veon Bell was here a lot of the same time that Gurley was supposed to be the man and I did see that headline I didn’t really look into it CU I’m like unless we’re talking his last year with the Rams but by then we all kind of looked at that as you don’t want to touch Gurley with the knees anyways yeah what were we doing trying to trade for him that’s I’m like yeah unless this was the was this the L SP that didn’t he spend that last season in Atlanta yeah if this is the hold do here like the when he um set out for the uh franchise tag if that was the case then maybe but I don’t see a where we would have wanted Gurley over el bell anyways it’s saying late in gurley’s career why you playing games says I knew they were either going to cut me or they were going to try and trade me if they were going to try and trade me they said something like Buffalo or Pittsburgh I was like f no cut me but yeah I knew something was going to happen so let’s pull up late in his career let’s pull him up cuz he’s in LA right we got to look at the numbers man no I I don’t think we should have traded for um with you de you know what where was L Bell is this the James Connie or is this the that’s what I’m trying to see B is definitely not here right because it’s the James Conor time frame not that first James Conor year but the second one that could have been that could have made sense yeah it could have made sense uh and Gurley may have been an upgrade at that point yeah so man what’s crazy is whenever you hear the phrase late stage in his career like how old do you think how old do you think he was at that point 27 uh 26 was 25 for his last year with the ram 26 got six years in what’ he get six or seven uh six yeah I about say he ain’t played like it wasn’t 10 no it was he had a run though he had a crazy run but it was yeah but he had the knees that was that was his whole issue so 2019 was his last year with the Rams 2020 last year in Atlanta so yeah it would have been for James Connor’s second year that would have been I guess Conor’s third year that Conor Samuel Sam Connor Samuel and Benny snow am I correct on that was Benny snow here then it depends on when they were try like did they pre-draft versus post-draft no I’m saying like were they trying it had to been you know it had have been between 2019 and 2020 so he would have been playing 2020 I think your your year early so Conor Samuels then cuz jayen Samuels was doing the Wildcat stuff uh that was with Mason that was 2019 that 19 and 20 19 was his last year with the Rams okay so 2020 was the Falcons year for him so the Rams cut him between after 2019 going into 2020 so that would have been James Conor and snow I don’t I don’t think Samuel was there for Ben’s return that Co year okay I think it was snowf Conor I think you say said 19 let’s play 2019 no no 2020 it’d be 2020 yeah yeah 2019 was Mason and duck right because that was the year where we was doing the uh the jint with Jaylen y all right 29 or 2020 Steelers roster let’s see what our RB situation was looking like it’s weird he didn’t really do that good with the Falcons 678 Edmond was there 3.5 yards per attempt dang I don’t know let’s see that might have been better than what we had yeah so Edmond Trey Edmond was here uh Anthony McFarland Jr was here Jaylen Samuels was here uh con had a hot start and Bennie snow yeah and then we stopped running it late in the season dang come on bro yeah I don’t know why he said f no though that’s that’s the weird part team to go to I mean we typically are most players want to go to Steelers in our o line in 20 we still had pouncy D Castro CHS was at right fer was at uh left guard and then Big Al was at left tackle they started deteriorating late in the season they did we would agree cuz that was the playoff where that was when we won 11 that was the year we won 11 and0 yeah that’s interesting yeah if I’m girly at that stage I don’t think I’m looking at Pittsburgh and saying that what H unless he felt he get more money to go to Atlanta versus a trade to Pittsburgh well if he was getting traded he’d still keep his contract with the Rams and that was a massive deal he was getting overpaid at the end of it that was why they wanted to move on from them yeah I don’t know how you feel about that D it’s interesting I mean to each their own usually you don’t hear that out of players whenever there’s an option to go to Pittsburgh like like going to Pittsburgh great organization Mike tomin was there and at the time we had Big Ben like I don’t know that sounds like a surprising detail so thing to say I don’t know how accurate but John pic Castro shout out to you John rocking with us on the early morning he says he was a big Baltimore fan growing up that was that was part of what he was talking about sense yeah I could definitely understand that cuz lowkey that’s how I used to feel about the the rescue where’s he from then I don’t know where he’s from yeah he was I thought he was from Georgia I know went to Georgia and I thought that’s ultimately why he went to Atlanta yeah GB GB Drew said he was a Ravens fan okay there you go that makes sense then I could definitely understand that yeah definitely could understand that then yep yeah it’d be like if you’re a Steeler fan and a team’s giving you the option to be traded to the Browns or maybe another team or you could potentially be cut it’s like f no I’m not going to the Browns anywhere about the Browns facts yep I get that I could definitely get that okay there you go shout out the Tod girl he did he was born in Baltimore ah no one ain’t like him all right that makes sense he didn’t go to Baltimore that would have been a Baltimore move for sure yeah man he should have went to the ra took him oh they and he would have messed around had about 900 you know how they do over there they probably had angram at the time so they was already order all right yeah yeah he was before the lat Tavis Murray like yo we can’t get him all right we’ll go with this one then think about they had L Tavis Murray lbell like yo what what is this but it was working over there man Tito Good Vibes gifted membership to Big ma shout out to Tito Good Vibes being an absolute rock star at life and Big M Welcome to The Upper Room yes indeed yes indeed come on here James Daniels has been nice for us but he’s coming up on a big payday I don’t see him taking less money to stay do we trade him or ride it out I don’t know where this is coming from didn’t we talk about James in a contract extension like a month ago yeah I don’t know where the thought of him getting this big payday or like we we we’re like pressed to potentially trade it’s like this do or die type of thing that we got to do right now with him uh I think you just rout it out yeah um he’s going into the last year of you know the deal guaranteed money and stuff like that so we get it and traditionally you would want an extension but at the same time it’s like the steel don’t have to be in a rush to give James Daniels an extension not only do they have Deb they have veteran and youth behind him so you feel like in a sense we can let this year play out and if he still is the best guard option then yeah we can extend him afterwards if we we so much cap space I think we have like 125 million cap space we have the most in the league right now yeah we we got a war chest right now absolutely so it’s like we don’t have to be in a hurry to do that but at the same time say he struggles this year say he gets injured this year and now we get a chance to see a Nate herg a little bit more or am Mason McCormick a little bit more now it might change how we view him we might say you know what you’re a little bit more Expendable because we feel very confident in our young guys that’s the only reason why I would say I don’t think you you know have to be in a hurry if for the steers to pay him right now but I also don’t think you have to be in a hurry to move on from him either and that was part kind of what we said uh what I was alluding to earlier with the uh which you trade auk for James Daniels is like I love what aay brings to the table as receiving threat but I also know what it has felt like at times when our offensive line could not protect and we would say it didn’t matter who was running routes if this quarterback doesn’t have enough time is killing us and that was the whole purpose of us going to get in the bradrick Jones going to getting a Troy fanu going out there and paying for Isaac seu going and getting James D when we did because prior to James D we had Trey Turner right and we said at times even with Trey was like yo that’s the vet but if that’s our best offensive line right now man we struggling so that’s the reason for me where I just I’m not in a hurry to go back to that in the sense of when people bring up why a we go get a cre Humphrey instead of going you know drafting a move like we could have got this guy instead of that guy it’s like well do we want to do this and keep doing this and keep doing this we kind of got the offensive line situated we can still get a auk without having to give up a James Daniels you know what I mean and that’s just kind of how I look at it so that’s the long answer to why I wouldn’t trade him and why I don’t think we got to pay him either right now but I think that we finally have a offensive line that’s gonna have a chance to be really good this year yeah like really good and we haven’t had that shoot since 19 think about it man 2019 2018 was the last time we felt like yo we got a rock solid line that it don’t matter what we got running back wise they going to be straight quarterback you going to have time we haven’t had that in a minute man and I think that that’s going to change how we view our offense also because that opens up a lot more avenues for him and Daniels would be the only one out of this group that would be up after this season so no matter what we should have four of the five in 2025 because you know three of them big time draft picks and Frasier Roger Jones and F recent draft picks so they’re they’re under contract for a little bit and then Isaac samalu has one more year under contract unless we decide to get rid of him but we still got the rights for him for 2025 so I don’t I don’t even think it would be that hard to replace just James Daniel too like CU we know how offensive lines and how they are sometimes like a lot of times the success is based off the whole unit not one individual player so if we have four of the five and obviously hopeing that this line does what it’s supposed to this year like I I think we’ll be all right either way with with or without James because we could either replace him in free agency or maybe drafted do in the first or second round this year and changes everything yeah yeah or we just resign him I like like you I just don’t think we have to be in this rush because on paper Daniels is the one with the least amount of pedigree on this line I mean he’s more proven than some of the young guys but we took Frasier in the second we took Jones and F in the first and then say Aly we paid I guess honestly about same as James never mind I thought we paid same out more than D no no Daniel’s got the most out the group I actually think you’re right get like 11 yeah his all right never mind then I just I just lied sayu super Champion yeah sayu I felt like came with more pedigree from Philly whereas with James when we paid James A lot of people were like yo why are we and who are we paying from the Bears offensive line I don’t think he was as known there but part of that is you playing in Chicago Chicago wasn’t having a lot of success and that’s why we all looked at him like why would we want to do that but I mean he’s been a upgrade since coming here compared to what we had prior to him slipped up a little last year but but as a whole he’s been an upgrade yeah I don’t see there’s no reason why he can’t have a bounce back year yeah no reason for that yeah and obviously him and the whole offensive line was doing a lot better when Mason Rudolph was playing the way that he did we weren’t complaining about the o line this much right I would agree running game looked better too think about how the hoes Nai and Jaylen were running through yeah they were putting up numbers huge game against the Seahawks yeah did good against the Ravens mhm AJ Martinez says the 55 Juice Box nice sabotage golf 54 no LOL let’s go let’s go yeah man yeah they they got after me man they got after me and the problem is this de I know I’mma go back out there one of these other days you feel me and I’m just nervous just just thinking about I’m just like yo you got to listen to my voice me me telling you just hey man stick to your guns I’m I’m over here like I don’t fall under the peer pressure ah ah just the thought of was like ah but it’s tough when you got a ride home with the person too de you know how it is it’s like and their family it’s not it’s not just going to end it’s not it’s just going to keep going go and if I wasn’t like this in other are areas I wouldn’t feel bad but you know this just like yo you don’t be like that with this part so you know this is they part to get you back on like dang all right cool like all ah Karma so that’s what you gotta be nice to everybody all right just yeah stop being yeah don’t don’t don’t don’t peer pressure people don’t pick on people cuz it comes back all right it comes back in times here we are so I’m just going to keep drinking this water I’m hydrating peckins 412 picksburgh join the oper shout out to 412 Pickins BG and welcome to the upper room yes indeed yes indeed AJ Martinez gifted the

H or what later this month man so that’s definitely a dope situation right there 400 meter hurdles so she gonna be out there competing with I want to say Sydney right Sydney mclaughin yeah so definitely definitely like that right there man but uh anytime we get Steelers and Bill’s blood you know I like his blood a lot his story is real real like it it hits home you know he’s a Steeler pure blood understand no no I understand where he started at and then where he came to and I love how he ended it with the ring shout out to him getting icing on the cake you know but but I just love his journey you know from start specifically where he started at and then where he came to like the B’s practice squad or something no he was a fourth round draft for the bills was he yeah he lasted a year and then after that we traded for him he came on down to the black and gold and it was amazing and then after that I think he went to the Giants then Panthers but then won it with the bucks um with Brady and ab down in Tampa man so salute to him man salute to him but yeah Ross cockro man that’s a name my man was nice as heck and they never had sweat he just come out there no gloves no wristbands no tape just socks pulled up you like bro you Fresh Off The Mannequin with it bruh but that was Ross man starting corner on the mo alltime favorite players team ooh yes it’s a strong got be in there it’s a strong yeah but but Ross is a champion you know me Le Levi has moments but Ross has the ring you feel me so that that’s why and I was actually teammates with Ross for multiple Seasons whereas me and Levi we actually never got to you know share the locker room you know I just seen him from afar love his story though is Mitch your quarterback it’s a strong possibility Mitch is in in in that quarterback convo and I feel good about it cuz Buffalo Mitch Buffalo Mitch be SC all right Buffalo Mitch is not Pittsburgh Mitch we just go draw that line right now all right it’s a difference okay he he plays one way here no no no when he comes out there heyy you know what time it is baby it’s 283 baby all right hey hand that ball up we hand it off hand it off get little play AC pass there victory formation like he looks great in all those moments he’s going to thrash people in the preseason it’s going to look great this this is what Mitch does man I’m a big buffalo Mitch fan big big buffalo Mitch fan that’s all yeah yeah shout out the Mitch shout Buffalo Mitch not not Pittsburgh shout out the Buffalo Mitch we just going yeah but it’s perfect because I kind of got the hybrid with him cuz I got to connect with him in Pittsburgh I ain’t connect with him as a bill I connected with him in that black and that gold so I think that hits a little bit different right that’s that’s that’s a added bonus you know it’s got to be somewhere yeah yeah I don’t know we just feel like family you tell me this is your team I’m just no it’s I just say like like I just feel like the way that my team is set up with the hybrid blood lines I think it’s a a team that both organizations could get behind I think both fan bases could get behind I guess maybe you could have pat p on your team why why can’t I why yeah I think you could not the same path but but he he we we a Bloodlines together that’s what I mean yeah we yeah we we’ve been hybrid and I share a locker room with him yeah MH you know I got a James Conor in there too now that he didn’t now that he done bounced on us yeah yeah come on now come on mhm yeah I’m just saying I got once you could leave and go somewhere else then it’s like oh all right you fair game now but let me think who yeah we going me some more bills I’m give some more bills guys down here man don’t worry we building up a nice little bloodline we got it we’re going to be like yeah the two founding families of the NFL at the end of the thing like they came from either the Bills or the Steelers and that’s where all the great players come from say big was that M or 772 says James Conor’s last season I think he’s alluding to when the Steelers were trying to trade for James Connor oh okay respect on that definitely respect on that AJ Martinez says Steelers podcast turn hybrid bills LOL listen I might put in my two weeks don’t don’t do that man don’t do that de secretly enjoys the bills like I’ve seen him in Buffalo he had a great time okay whenever the bills on the calendar he gets excited about it he’s usually the one telling me months in advance you you know that game coming up so I I I feel like deep down inside he has a little bit of that blue and red just just a little bit all right but we don’t want that to mess up the brand the brand is black and gold and that’s why I understand I’m like de I get it I get it but it’s okay it is okay I know how you feel about quarterbacks and I know how you feel about Josh and that’s the reason why it’s like yo we’re always good man we’re good bro we’re good he’s a good player I’ll give him that you know how longer like we could never get that about any other player I just why I’m just like yo we’re connected somehow no cuz we’re connected somehow we’re connected bro we’re connected we’re connected man it’s it’s the quarterback day it’s quarterback thing you we love quarterbacks I only like quarterbacks so that’s what you know it’s quarterbacks how we do it bro I’m with you on that once you got one you never let him go right yours War seven mine’s War Seven and Seven you know I’ll be interested see how yeah yeah yeah I’ll be interested to see how things play out at the end of Josh Allen’s career I’ll be interested to see than thank you out no we not no no no ain’t doing that definitely not doing that chilling all that it don’t even sound right yeah I’m with you I’m with you say it that’ll be interesting hold on we I got a couple supers that we got to get real quick that kind of were flushed in here stealing Nation on fire he says last month was 15 years years since Michael Jackson’s death man it’s been that long that’s crazy too bro King of Pop what they call him though shout out to Mr Michael Jackson though and then let’s go you dub also says I don’t know if you guys say the rankings for the top 10 for the college football game but oh he says I don’t know if you guys saw the rankings for the top 10 college football game but they are such b as Prime had to have paid them to be in the top 10 now is he talking about Colorado I think they are one of the best overall rating yeah I think they’re up there were they top 10 they were up there was they’re top 10 I might have saw a top 25 list but I saw Colorado on there one way or another they were in like the high 80s I think how we get yeah pit Pit’s not in the 90s I just got confirmation if the list that I saw the saw was accurate uh we weren’t in the top 25 I know that hey bro that’s kind of crazy yeah Colorado was in The Mex they were high 80s that is kind of crazy all right we’ll see maybe they know something we know yeah Travis Hunter must be rated pretty highly and shador got to be just insane up there and I’m assuming Shiloh has to be insanely rated also yeah I don’t know any of other players they got the uh the receiver with the dreads I know their o line sucked last year but they turned over a whole new offensive line this off season yeah I don’t know about that one we’re gonna see though they started off hot last year remember they got ranked last year they did yeah they get ranked last year three and one they had some good games early on yeah not a good finish to this season they had moments though they had moments but yeah that was yeah we’ll see though yeah that’s yeah we’ll definitely see on that one all and then we also had uh AJ Martinez he says shout out much love

since Michael Jackson death so yeah he had it twice up there so we’re solid there and I think we are caught up on everything Super Chat wise so now we’ll get into this first topic so with that being in case yall hit that like button one time for the culture and subscribe if you are new to the channel hope yall enjoying the way that we rocking out on this lovely 11:00 a.m. start time shout out to the homie deck right here man but um we did want to do a quick update or give a update on the Brandon iuk situation um I forgot who brought him up earlier in the uh chat in terms of the trade scenario uh asking would we be interested in trading James Daniels for Brandon iuk and things like that um Brandon iuk did recently go on RC’s uh podcast the pivot shout out to the pivot shout out to RC everything they doing over there man love that um but uh basically talking about you know the trade situation and what is currently going on he was kind of giv some context on what we’ve kind of seen from afar right the Social Media stuff the comments about them not wanting them back and Leong knows uh Le on that line so with that let me pull up the direct quotes real quick just so that way I’m not doing a disservice all right all right all right there we go all right so basically man when uh they were asking him you know where does he think he’s going to be playing at basically was like you know if he had to take a guess it would probably be a Niners uniform these are his direct quotes he said probably a Niners uniform but if not a Niners uniform probably a Washington Commander’s uniform if not a Washington Commander’s uniform then probably a Steel’s uniform so we at least top three right there depending on how you look at that we’re in the mix we’re in the mix no matter what way you put it yeah we’re definitely in the mix he says I’m me stand right ners uniform that’s where he’s currently at or he’s going to Washington with the commanders who we’ll talk a little bit more about that connection as well and then obviously Pittsburgh right who he’s been kind of rumored to a lot this off season um then he was asked about the scenario where he had put the video up right where it was um him talking to uh Jaden Daniels right and he’s like yo they don’t want me back and everybody kind of was like yo what was that about did you get direct confirmation from the Niners that they’re not trying to resign you and what he said was and this this quotes they told me that they didn’t think that we were on the same page and that they didn’t believe we were going to be and that and that it was about and that and that was about it at that time but it’s part of it it’s part of that contract negotiations trying to sway stuff in either direction so whether that’s 100% true or or not I guess that’s still to find out so where it sounds is if $30 million rumors was true he’s coming to the table saying he want 30 they saying bro you’re out of your mind we not on the same page with this and I could definitely see them saying that I don’t think we would be on the same page if that was the number because I think me and you are kind of on the same page with that too like oh 30 we don’t no no not for 30 so I could definitely understand that but that was kind of how that was why he said what he said so basically was you know that was the paraphrase of it but they’re not on the same page and they don’t think they’re going to get on the same page and that’s all it’s going to be for right now and yeah sounds a lot nicer than just hey they don’t want me back it did right and you you’re posting that out on on the internet like as a little Vlog like I’m like you you told us this this doesn’t sound like this not exactly but in a way in a way it’s just the fact that you posted it it’s you saying like they don’t want me back to your boy and J Daniel was like yeah that’s fine like you guys are talking behind the scenes like that’s how you’re feeling that’s but then to take that conversation and post it out there for everyone to see mhm like I think that goes back to what we were talking about like a week or so ago about it’s just not the best way to handle it a little misleading bro it’s a little messy a little messy cuz it’s like bro you shouldn’t be putting those personal conversations out there like that no and especially when it when it makes your employer the 49 ners look bad and you’re currently in these contract negotiations and especially if that’s not what the niners said too because if there was a bro if you obviously there was more Nuance going on because if it’s a difference of you asking for 20 and them saying no to 20 that was like us with Juju he was like want to come back on a cheap deal and we just said n we’re good de right that’s very different I feel like this you’re if the rumors are true about his ask it’s like yo that’s that’s a big number for the production and type of player that he is currently all right but then there was a little bit more I he says I feel like right now I’m in the right place in the right spot with the right quarterback right now but we’re are not on the right terms talking about the San Francisco 49ers obviously he feels you know really good about the team where they’re at the quarterback Brock pie so I could definitely understand that I mean since been there he’s played in what two Super Bowls in one NFC Championship game I don’t think he was there for the first one okay I think they drafted him after that after that yeah so one Super Bowl two NFC championship games then at least is what he’s played in so he’s had a ton of success in San Francisco obviously they have Brock pie Young quarterback that has already shown that he could play in this league and play at a high level so I could definitely understand his comfort and feeling good about that we know KY shanon here we think in ter terms of offensive schemes is one of the best that’s doing it in the league so all of that could very well be the case that is true but in terms of not being on the right terms we know that’s the almighty dollar all right but he also says um let’s see let’s see let’s see oh he says but uh after a month of not talking much at all in terms of him with the 49ers he referenced um that he did have a uh he was having a scheduled meeting with the 49ers on Monday so I guess that would be today and he says that we’ll see how it goes cuz this article came out on the 29th so that would have been Saturday if I remember correctly all right um so like I said they should be having that meeting today and hopefully we’ll be getting a little bit it might you know what it might have been last week because yeah Clark went ONN interview the podcast you’re right good call on that they dropped the podcast later later good call good call and then this article just came out on the 29th so good call on that so hopefully we’ll be getting some type of information or some type of update on this Brandon I situation what came out of the meeting was like he’s open to be traded from what I remember those were some of the Twitter headlines that I was reading last week let let me let me double check auk meeting with 49ers I think it was more just like basically what you just said right there that they’re still not on the same page cuz that’s what it’s seeming it’s seeming like the Niners do view him as a uh the ners do view him as a asset he brings a lot to the table I’m seeing good meeting this was four days ago iuk good meeting moving ahead towards extension okay I just don’t buy it I don’t either personally I I don’t buy it I really don’t how do you go from all of this this offseason the way this all this convo the interview and everything and now right this is getting leaked from the 49ers side of it because that’s all they’ve been doing this whole time of like we want iuk like in terms of putting it out there in public we positive it’s all positive we’ve offered them you know $26 million per year type of extension we’re not trying to trade iuk everything’s good with us and I like us draft in P doesn’t have anything to do with us getting rid of like that’s been their consistent messaging from the 49ers and John Lynch whereas auk everything he’s been saying is like no don’t buy that BS same page they don’t like me yeah cuz I’m thinking to myself I remember the 26 Mill because we said would he take the 26 here and we had that combo with TG and saying does the 26 feel different with a different team offering it compared to your current employer and I was trying to make the case of yeah in a way if you’re feeling like you’re you know underappreciated or not valued maybe you would take the same amount of money elsewhere to just prove what you’re capable of and go that route but I think TG at the time was like no I mean you taking it you would much rather just stay where he’s at versus coming over here so I’m like everybody kind of has their own viewpoint on that but I I don’t see how that drastically changes from auk’s perspective unless one or two things happen the ners are either upping their offer or are yuk is coming down off that number and just saying bro this all right that 30 is not realistic and maybe my number is 25 I think that’s the only way I can see this being a productive conversation a good combo because what would have changed from the Niners narrative you know in terms of how they’re communicating with him they’re going to say the same things auk we love you we know you can run routes we know you can block we know that you can catch we know that you do all the little things you’ve been here you’re homegrown you fit our scheme perfectly we don’t want to take a weapon from Brock prady and make him have to depend on a rookie to come here and try to replace you but at the same time we paying Trent Williams we paying George K we paying Kyle H Che we paying Debo Sammy we’re paying Javon harg we’re paying Fred Warner we’re about to pay uh to hunga you know what I mean it’s like we’re paying sh’s Ward already I’m you said BOS oh we’re also we’re also paying uh Nick Bosa as well man and yeah we’re still going to pay you we’re not saying we’re not going to pay you we’re going to pay you we just can’t give you 30 I would be interested to find out how much of that 26 whatever whatever the terms of that deal is how much of that might be like Monopoly money though this is very accurate because it might be only be guaranteed for like a year year and a half years that is facts and if that’s the case then I 100% understand where he’s coming from support that stance on it because if it’s not fully guaranteed man it is not guaranteed and this game is too unpredictable too violent to go out there when you’re in that class of player to go out there and not have that type of guarantee that type of insurance for you because you can’t get those years back once you get hurt once the scheme doesn’t fit once whatever goes wrong you’ve seen it it’s not like the NBA where Chris Paul still getting 11 million contract at this stage and we’re like bro you gonna play 20 games tops right dudes in NFL you got that run and after that run think about L he went from you know A45 million salary to now you’re on vet men there is no in between there is no oh let’s slowly walk them numbers down so for dudes when you opportunity to hit it you don’t nobody’s guaranteed to have that third and fourth contract and it plays out perfectly and the ages out it’s like sometimes man football happens we call just football and it’s like bro you got to do what you got to do to make sure that you’re financially secure you’re in a place at least that you feel confident going out there and for auk he has earned the right to be in that type of position he’s not some rookie he’s not some dude that hasn’t produced in this league this isn’t a combo that goes for every player but for certain players Yeah man they have earned that right to want to make sure that they have that type of Financial Security that type of stability when they going out there and taking that chance you know taking that chance on the field so I do think for him he does have a legitimate argument if that is the case but if you’re the ners there is no way I’m about to go crazy and paying you when I know I gotta pay Brock prady in a year yeah and just the fact go crazy you I gotta pay Shanahan is your coach you just drafted per in the first round you just signed your third receiver Jennings to a little contract like and you and as you said too you sign all these other player you have massive contracts on this team like if there is one player you probably feel confident you can replace and it it is a receiver and it just so happens auk is that guy right now who’s up for a big deal yeah yeah I don’t I I think he’s getting traded still that was my hunch a couple weeks ago with the way he was talking cuz you’re right nothing’s changed from then till now really outside of just a headline saying oh it was a good meeting but all the factors are still at play yeah I’m like nothing has changed unless Iuka come off that number or the ners have bumped the number up nothing is going to change and for the ners what would be the incentive to bump the number up right now nothing and if you’re a you the only incentive to drop the number right now is you just want to get a deal done and get over with it but outside of that it’s June F or it’s July 1st like Dam why you going to tell off your number anyways you the pressure wouldn’t be felt for the NS until you get in the training camp and you don’t show up that’s when they start to feel that pressure and then for the ners they’re gonna be like all right let me see what Ricky persol looks like what does Brock pry look like minus iuk do we get to an actual preseason game and I got to go out there and play without auk and now I can really see just a a snapshot of that and now that changes them but outside I’m like they don’t have any pressure to up that number just yet no I could see it happening one of two ways it’s either they sign iuk and maybe trade Debo oh or they just trade I because here’s the way I view this from a 49er standpoint and the perfect world for them is they probably just want I for one more year that’s it to ease the transition from him to P unless again unless they want iuk or prefer him longterm over Debo but I think they want they want their top receiver whoever that is whoever they want to call him their wide receiver one and they want to get pcel so let’s talk though as the young guy coming up they got third receiver Debo I think is the the best athlete Gadget guy he’s the bigger name up to this point I prefer is the better receiver I do I think he’s going to age better I would agree I think he’s a true receiver whereas I you I was I think Deo is just a baller I think he just one of them dudes get the ball in his hands and go but that style and T talked about it too it’s like yo you’re not this massive guy it only takes a couple of them and now your game is changed now you’re alter now you’re not the same Debo whereas auk if you could run routes you got sweet feet you could catch that rock man we’ve seen receivers and how they can age out in this league man and how when you understand how to run routes that part is consistently there it shows it’s like you could be in year 13 them dudes there know how to get in and out of their breaks like yo that’s why AB even at this stage I’m like he could still go out there and do certain things because the details of Route running is different than just oh he’s a great athlete and that’s the part that auk does bring to the table and if they wanted to make Debo available if they somehow agree to an extension with auk and were’re like all right Debo is now the one that’s Expendable I think he would fit with what we’re doing right now with Arthur Smith I think he would either us for different reasons but I’d be fine with grabbing Debo and I think that would be similar to the DK Meda trade where Deo has 25 per year on the books but I think it’s only for two years yeah so I don’t know if he gets traded he’s going to want to up his contract or try to get an extension at his new home but yeah we could afford that for two years 25 million yeah for Debo it would be funny like either one of those guys I’m with you they do fit our offense but they yeah cuz Debo’s contract done in 2026 so it’ just be like uh DK mataf actually it’s less it’s 23.8 per year for Debo oh interesting all right I don’t know what the cap hit is though cap hit might be more maybe ners would have to take on a certain percentage of that I double check give me a sec no yeah uh 2024 cap hit is 28 and then his next year cap is 24 so it’s doable yeah yeah and that’s you know the Productions there with that one too so as we sit here today how do you think that plays out I think it’s one of those two ways one of those two either auk is gone or deo’s gone but we don’t see them both on year there’s going to be too many cooks in the kitchen receiver okay I really do soone going to be unhappy I’m with you I I’m I’m low key like I the Debo stuff has popped up I think Debo but I just don’t want to believe it because I’m like nah man this Deo deo’s got to be out there but if the scenario is yo we’re going to go and do the auk thing then does that make Deo Expendable yeah I think in a perfect world The ners would want auk for just this one year yeah like they would probably be if he wasn’t tripping right now cuz then you could just see how the receiver room plays out you could see what Debo does he’s got two years left for the rest of this year you got the rookie in pel you signed Jennings for this little two-year deal you could just see how the receiver room plays out but I get why auk wants some security he wants a big contract like he deserved it absolutely you look at some of these names that are getting these contracts and like Nico Collins Devon Smith like he’s right there with a bunch of these D but their contract are around 25 mil 26 mil auk’s talking about that 30 mil you know St Brown just got that you know Jefferson got the 35 I wouldn’t say he’s necessarily on their level right now I wouldn’t I know you’re supposed to have confidence everything and I probably views himself like that but no bro like 25 26 it’s actually very fair it’s very very fair I think for him it’s fair but that’s easier for us to say versus for him he’s probably having his own factors man I had to do this W all these things and I still found a way to make my numbers this just imagine if I got an opportunity where I’m the guy just imagine if I got opportunity where you actually fed me force fed me like I’m sure he could look at at Stefan digs he’s like yo digs you got fed a ton what if I got fed a ton like that could I also go from because remember Diggs wasn’t viewed like how Diggs was viewed in Buffalo or even in Houston now when he was in Minnesota but he also didn’t get the volume either he was sharing it with th so to an I’m sure to some degree auk might be in his mind like man if I don’t have to share targets with K Debo mcaffrey who’s check man I could probably be way nicer too and then you would pay me 30 you would see I’m worth that 30 yeah whether that’s true or not that’s a different story but I I agree that he could be thinking that way or you know being a pro being that confident you’re probably you probably should be thinking that way but like you could also make the other argument all these other guys are taking attention away from you and opening things like if you are the number one getting double teamed every time I don’t know if these numbers are looking the same I don’t know if yeah you’re looking the same out there the Productions the same yeah respect I think he’s good so I mean it’s somewhere in the middle of all that right what the truth is MHM I think he’s worth at least like 25 26 definitely but I don’t know how great I’m feeling if he wants that 30 he’s hard set on that 30 30 plus and the team that is trading for him like if you’re giving him that number he’s your B number one you got toce I don’t know how confident I am in him being that guy I think it’d be great for him to come here to Pittsburgh when we already got a pickings and like they could be the the little onew punch the 1 a 1B type of stuff but like if you’re the commanders now they probably also have McLaren so it’ be it would be a similar scenario to Pittsburgh where you’d have two pretty Dynamic receivers and Terry is definitely proven he’s in that he’s in that convo did you see the other part part of this story where auk was wearing a pirate hat I missed the pirate hat n pirate hat I missed some reporter on the street went up to him asking about it yeah yeah so do you want to hear the answer yeah I would do heck yeah you got to let me know after I uh tell you what he said whether you think it’s BS or not all right I’m listen he said that the Pirates reached out to him and wanted to send him some merch [Laughter] leave me alone leave me alone absolutely not leave me alone why the hell are pirates so the Pirates are recruiting now they they hey look man if if we send a merch that’ll get in the He he’ll definitely want to get traded us now stop it bro stop it P stop I can’t remember if he specifically said it was the Pirates social media team either I I don’t remember but he said the Pirates reached out and wanted to send a merch has he ever said anything about the Pirates no why yeah why would the Pirates sending him stuff Pirates really I I don’t buy that what I don’t either I thought it was I know Inc but low key he could be throwing it out there for them to send him subers though that could be the little oop like hey man cuz I’ve seen it with Cam oh I forgot what was the team oh my goodness it was a team and cam Hayward man we like randomly started talking about him it’s like yeah I’m a fan of them y I like them I’m of them and then it was like one of the players sent the jersey that he’s like yeah and then it was like the boxing merch came you like hold on bro that really you just talked this into happening I I wish I remember what team it was it was a basketball team but he was just randomly talking like yeah man I’m a fan of them man I like that and he start popping up over and I’m like yeah huh so maybe that’s what auk is doing he’s just he’s speaking it into F Wishy he’s like you know what I’mma just keep throwing it out there and the prate was going to send me some merch man I don’t think he ever said anything about the Pirates though yeah this very kind of crazy yeah barosi says he thinks that the Pirates thought he was Tomlin and just oh God got the addresses mixed up or something like yeah that’s gotta be coach s that pirates said coach need this one for for the meetings man yeah I don’t buy it yeah I I think he bought a pirates had at Lids or something and was like you know what let me let me send a little subtle message subtle because he’s been doing too much Pittsburgh talk too much Pittsburgh he he keep keing and stuff for that to just just be happening randomly like I don’t think that that just fluky happens I think that’s like a legit like yeah bro you know the message you’re sending the same way if he puts on any Commander’s gear we all know the message he’s sending if you put on a a Nationals hat uh Washington Mystics hat anything DC related we gonna be like hey bro all right now you playing so so do you have any new conclusions new epiphanies with this added information ah I feel like we’re still in the same place with it but I’m I’m hoping that yeah it still works out in our favor but I still feel like I’m right in the same spot that I was in before the interview I just feel like it’s less I felt like it was spicier when the video dropped before we knew the actual context of the conversation when he said they don’t want me back that felt way different than now knowing they are just saying that we’re not on the same page and we know that’s because of what you’re asking yeah so that’s the reason why kind of like all right bro we still stuck here it ain’t no it ain’t move one way for me just yet what about you yeah I don’t like that we’re the third team he mentioned o but Jaden Daniels is man I know I know but this goes back to what I was saying last week where I’m like if I’m on Maron Steeler and the Steelers just seeing how auk’s handled all this and now that the Commander’s in the mix and obviously he’s got that connection to Daniels and he’s been flirting with them a little bit it’s like I’m not going out of my way I I don’t want to do this bidding war or anything if the number can come down where it’s proper for us then absolutely but I don’t want to get in this Bing War I don’t want to be shelling out way more than what I’m comfortable with though from Omar’s perspective I would agree I don’t I don’t hate it I just wonder for auk outside of Jaden Daniels has the commanders shown any type of Interest or love because I’m like at least we know well now a said it out of his mouth though that commanders would be the second team if he’s not with the N command but yes from the commander I haven’t heard anything right cuz I’m like we’ve been rumored and we’ve heard rumors of oh the Steelers Omar all right they’re trying to see could this get done rumors about receivers Jaguars were even thrown in the mix early on really early on that was around draft time yeah but commanders have just been more of recent and maybe that’s just because of the Jaden Daniels connection we’ve actually heard reports that om talking with the ners I don’t know if that’s true with the commanders yeah so that’s the only thing I’m just like hey man uh you he’s trying to drum up some interest maybe and that’s fine but be careful because you’re still on the ners yeah mention other te see what I’m saying like be careful bro be careful man you’re Wilding a little bit man I guess that’s today’s uh are we contract negotiate huh yeah thr R today man it’s like yeah I’m with you but I’m talking about them too all right and them like spicy yeah I I don’t know maybe someone in the chat could let us know if the commanders were like seriously in the mix for auk before he said something on the pivot podcast but yeah I think the only thing was the Jaden Daniels connection as to why people brought up rumors about it at least from my perspective now I like how uh black and yellow Texas still feels about the situation and we always live baby but he says if Brandon IU chooses the commanders over the Steelers he deserves to go to Washington that’s what he say he deserves to go there yeah and I’m with you if you choose the Washington commanders over the Pittsburgh Steelers man enjoy it wish you nothing but the best bet yeah which is what he might do yeah I mean we’ve seen the other cat do that uh was it Jeremy chin he chose him over us so it’s like yo if that’s if you think that that is the best situation for you man we wish you well now Cody [ __ ] says it’s not his choice it’s the 49ers choice where he gets traded but we know that’s not as much reality as it was back maybe 20 years ago I think teams will talk to the player like yo where do you want to go these op as long as the deals are close correct yeah so that’s definitely shifted man so I do feel like if he wants the deal to be a Pittsburgh deal or a Washington deal excuse me he will have that ability with the ners yeah cuz the team doesn’t want to be trading for a player if they don’t want to be there or sign a long-term deal absolutely not cuz you’re wasting my time and I’m wasting your time and everybody’s time and you just going to make my chemistry in my locker room jacked up too yeah if some other team offered like a second round pick to the Bears for Justin Fields he’s not a stealer in that context that’s that’s what I mean as long as the deals are similar they got to be yeah comforable CU that’s like malpractice as a g yeah but we’ve seen some of those scenarios before where that has been the case was like yo a team offers something that is just insane and it’s like yo you have to take this or we’ve seen it where yeah team’s like bro a doing that cuz shoot wasn’t that the whole ABM Bill situation yeah yeah that deal was like all right it’s about to be done but AB was try to go there it’s like yo you can force this but then they didn’t and we saw it worked out but then the flip side was the bills don’t want that then they don’t want to dude that’s going to be pissed off and unhappy but then the flip side was LeSean McCoy when they traded for him initially he didn’t want to go up there but for the deal that they were sending to Philly was like yo we’re going to take that and then from he ended up coming up there turned around actually enjoyed himself and had some success what they give up is it it was Kiko and a draft pick yeah okay and Kiko at the time was coming off the Rickie year where he was you know Pro Bowl and all that stuff okay yeah yeah cuz Philly was McCoy’s team too like that was his hometown team growing up he a want to leave that no all right anything else with auk nah man but uh shout out to auk yeah you’re right same we’re in the same spot we just got yeah I guess new information just information that we thought we wanted to hear that I wasn’t really the biggest fan of since yeah it wasn’t as spicy as he made it sound when he first dropped it he misled us he leted us the Pirates had thing hilarious though [ __ ] he sent me some merch shout out yo so if y’all was enjoying that combo man don’t forget to hit that like button one time for the culture and subscribe yeah I still think he get straighted though I don’t think it’s coin since he named two outside teams when Ryan Clark asked him where could you see yourself playing next year he was real specific too he have to think on it was like yep that one or that one and he has reasons for both and we can see the connections to both yep and then RC is uhhuh go ahead say it hyping up the Steelers do on the podcast too like you perfect fit here it’d be awesome and I smiling smiling anding ran Clark saying he’s praying for auk trade to the Steelers so who knows man who knows yeah yeah as long as the price is right I’m for it as long as the Price Is Right would you overpay for you know a mill or two if we had to do it at 28 would you do that yeah I mean in the moment I’ll be happy if we get auk just flat out I I’ll talk myself into it no matter what even if it’s a second round pick and we pay him 30 million I’ll be like ah you know what it’s not that bad second in the moment in the moment cuz when a trade like that happens you’re I mean we be you’re in the moment you’re emotional yeah you’re you’re just H oh we got Rand auk forget about the future forget about we’re winning a Super Bowl now yeah this is true this is true myself into it but like right now before the trade like this is what I want and what I want is potentially a third round pick at this point but I I can understand second second still be fine under 30 yeah in 25 26 yeah that worked for me cuz I’m like we had to overpay I I’m willing to go 28 just can we keep just under 30 just keep under 30 30 just seems different just like wow maybe 28 in a third round pick we could talk I could talk in that we could talk ourselves into that I can see that uh okay we got some more supers that rolled in I think we are President nitty he says shout out to AJ official momentum Mo and be in the chat be right back for the replay shout out shout out hey yo heck of with J by you picking up on that abbreviation for official momentum I was over here looking like y who is O Fish I like I was

the Bulls had Rodman Patriots had groon we had Debo who is our sium I guess he’s talking about for this current team probably I say GP yeah that’s the answer pins GP a whole Savage Out There He Go he with it like for a fact he’s with looks like Patrick Queen’s heading that direction for our defense oh absolutely he he he he cuckoo for Coco Puffs I love him I love him I’m telling you I’m just all the energy that he brings I’m just like yo I love that like it’s perfect it’s perfect eny man but shoot also man e man don’t don’t sleep on E he’s just more buttoned up with it he’s not as vocally crazy quiet he’s a quiet crazy but don’t sleep on E E Rob another one of the ones where he just like yeah yeah you got them black Air Force energy I can see that I see how you pull but sometimes you need one of those dudes like Joey Porter back in the day that will vocalize some stuff that’ll get the whole team hyped yeah Queen going to put it on everybody he going put the pressure squ it looks like that I don’t see his chirping going away when the season starts and as the if you play with anybody that chirps you can’t let your guy hang so once he’s talking got to back it up yeah yeah once he’s talking he got to back it up but the rest of the gang you know what time it is like all right y’all know what they on so let’s get after them man so but yeah GP I could definitely see GP on that

your mindset I probably play Fantasy Football in four or five years said di you stopped when I started and the way you talked about it was like it was like that dope in your sister he was like yo you don’t understand bro like like you don’t understand bro like what it does to me like yo what he like no bro like it’s just it’s not fun it’s not fun no more man it’s like I’m done I’m like yo [ __ ] like that but I get it I get it it’s not worth the whatever it is the $500 prize money the $1,000 prize money at the end of it’s not worth the amount of time but you be so locked in cuz if once you’re once you’re doing it I get it bro you got to be up on the waivers you got to be up on St trades otherwise you don’t stand a chance you’re putting in hours yeah yeah even when you don’t want to it’s like yo you’re you have to be up on it and it’s not just your team and that’s the other part it’s like oh if it’s just the Steelers because you only got Steelers one but it’s like nah you got to see what that team has okay what ises this guy okay who are they playing against yeah did he get hurt who’s the quarterback this week where’s the is just a yeah how many targets they getting yeah this is real that is real bro that’s real I’d love to know like say you win whatever your prize money is I’d love to know what the per hour rate is for the time you was it worth you probably like 10 cents you do you got to grind and shoot some of the consequences for if you’re the worst in your group also you like dude was that worth it like ah man so yeah I’ve been good without fantasy football but maybe I could jump back in and I actually I don’t know if I can I don’t think I can I was going to say and take it more lightly and just be chill with it it’s a slippery slope is what they say do it for fun it’s like n it’s a slippery slope man I don’t think maybe though can you play Madden for fun I’ll still I I’ll keep it up in mind can you can you play Ultimate Team for fun no you want to win that’s what I’m saying what’s that even mean right I’m like what do you mean just going to do it for fun like I’m going to get pissed off do it for fun what does that even I don’t even know how that I’ve tried that and I was pissed I’m like bro I’m about to just can I just buy somebody’s Team all right can’t lose no more I’m pissed off all right so I’m with you bro I’m with you trust me yeah I don’t know how you just going to just I’m just going to do it f no no no you’re not you going to have a whole chart up like everybody else all right bro who’s God dang it let me what time to w i all right

Township pled Fitness man that’s where ficial momentum is at man show him some love show him some love baby thanks Sur VI right there absolutely I like that all right that’s it forers all right all right let’s get to this final topic of the day talking about the 2024 oh breakout team shout out to Bucky Brooks doing what he does nfl.com but you know we did this the other day we were talking about the 2024 potential breakout players from the article and Bucky was focusing exclusively on the offense and um for us we didn’t have a player named on the list but we talked about Calvin Austin potentially being one of those guys because we said we thought that you know moth and GP are kind of past that stage of breakout Stars they’re pretty much on the scene people know them um I would have put m in though you would have d k k it’s okay the the the the the rookie has deak up in a you know he’s in a frenzy now I mean it was just one year just one little season and now deak is just you know he’s up and arms he’s found a new villain I’m like yo what has D done to anybody D just he just came in the league he was quiet he just made some plays and people like him they think that you know he has a chance to be something would you say something like two or three bills on that list there too many bills cuz a door has opened for him you know you you you you were prod with Diggs and now Diggs is gone you know you’re going to get volume so and they they referenced his postseason success they were like yo he really made plays down the stretch and I think there’s something about when you watch a guy make plays in a postseason game when you’re part of winning in the postseason I mean we saw dton King K touch paint it’s like man that when you’re doing it in the postseason it just hits a little differently and then you’re like oh you’re a part of a win in the postseason because of this touchdown because of that catch that’s why I think they put the the list versus scor a touchdown in the post season didn’t he he might have he might have I just don’t know if it was you know like that man running up the scam and we like help help we got Patrick steers got Patrick Queen oh yeah it’s different now it’s different now heck I’m with you bro it’s different now it’s different it’s different now come on man talk that talk talk that talk it’s different now line Talk That Talk man Jack hey man it’s it just we didn’t know miles Jack looked like he was off the couch until we saw him versus d k k then he like he was off the couch that’s that’s why they’re a little excited about him because we both were like oh yeah mil come off the couch it be perfect don’t worry about it man you guarding these dudes and then we saw was like oh all right not so fast but it works out we live and we learn and we got Patrick Queen now so it’s not gonna happen again we got Queen here so we’re good we’re good man we’re good all right let’s get to this defense so we should love this one though man all right I think you’re gonna love this one today so for Bucky Brooks shout out to Bucky talking about his all defensive guys the guys they think can break out and we’ll get right to it man there were um a couple of individuals that were the black and gold that did get some recognition all right first guy starts in the trenches by the name of Keanu B OHA whoa whoa oh and then it happens to be this young cornerback that Dee might know goes by the name of Joey Porter Jr but we call him young jpj those were the two specific Pittsburgh Steelers that were mentioned in this article for 2024 potential breakout players League wide right and this is preferenced with with guys that did not receive you know pro bowl or All Pro accommodations right so some of the other guys that were named on the list for uh potential breakouts by Bucky Brooks from nfl.com he brought up Calvin thibo right talked about his 11 and a half sacks last year what they think he can do Jaylen Carter we obviously know Jaylen Carter um ultr productive last year man high pedigree guy we already mentioned Keanu Benton we know what he meant to us in our dline last year and and the production that he had down the stretch along within the postseason as well then from there he mentioned uh Lucas vaness the young pass fresher out of Green Bay going into his second year brought up a pair of linebackers that we’re familiar with Trenton Simpson Baltimore rat birds obviously going into his second year they referenced him getting a big opportunity now that Patrick Queen is gone um they also brought up Devin Lloyd who was a little bit interesting because Lloyd’s been in this league for a couple of years now but he also has not f you know lived up to the expectations that were surrounding him when he came out remember how we talked about him um in his draft class and stuff like that but they bringing up you know different scheme should help him out then they went to the cornerback room Christian Gonzalez guy that we were very high on coming out of Oregon in the draft obviously played well at times got hurt last year um Joshua Williams they brought him up because of they think that with uh the the Chiefs moving on from leria Sneed he’s going to get those now you know opportunities to kind of be in the Forefront and make more plays and stuff and then we already said jpj M referencing his Alpha Dog mentality as well which I do love and his confidence um but then at safety man Andre Cisco uh obviously with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Jer Brown the other safety the young safety in San Fran that is not talona hanga so or hanga excuse me on that one man so definitely like that man but um spefic specifically what he talked about with Keanu bman I’ll read it verbatim says the Stills are known for identifying and developing worker bees on the defensive front Keanu bitton appears to be the next young defensive tackle poised to give opponents fits the 6’4 309 pounder held his own as a part-time starter for a unit specializing in Bully balling The Trenches as an energetic Defender with a nonstop motor and active hands B outworks and Outlast blockers to win battles on critical Downs though it is easier to win when playing alongside TJ watt cam Hayward and Alex High Smith Benton’s disruptive talents could help the Steelers get back to playing Championship caliber football I like that last Sage right there Championship caliber football yeah obviously this is a good name a good pick for this list cuz Steeler F we’ve been talking about him a lot this offseason but I mean during his rookie season like he flashed he jumped off the screen’s out there yeah yeah yeah so it’s only right that him and then even that jpj and I’m going read jpjs in second should be considered for second year drunk uh not drunks getting drunk but jumps see we ain’t know the golf course yet man don’t do us like that he yeah yeah to have a breakout season I I we’ve been talking about it it’s just good to see some national media recognizing it no respect on that man yeah Keanu man from what second game last year third game last year he was already getting in the backfield getting sacks being productive and then we saw it really you know start to take off towards the back end and then even like I said in that Bills game man he was really productive in that game also whenever you’re starting to you know not just start a season but also finish it strong and do it in the postseason where it matters more we say you make plays in December you make plays in January it counts more than that play you made in September so to see him as a rookie being able to do that that’s a big reason why we feel so confident in him and his ability to potentially replace even a cam Hayward you know because of what he brings to the table man so said definitely like that right there man then um specifically what he said about Joey Porter Jr says the secondy year Pro is a dark horse Contender for Pro Bowl honors in 2024 after thriving as the cornerback won in Pittsburgh down the stretch last season Porter’s toughness tenacity and tools make him a difficult matchup for pass catchers who lack the speed and physicality to escape his clutches at the line though he remains a work in progress on the island Porter’s Alpha Dog mentality and unshakable confidence could enable him to shine without a polished gain I take offense to him saying a dark horse Contender for Pro Bowl on I don’t think Joey Porter Jr should be flying under the radar of anyone for proo honors or accolades this year I think he should be right in the mechs being talked about as you know top 10 potentially top five quarterback like that’s I think that’s just the natural trajectory he’s on after his performance in his rookie season like he was logging down wide receiver WS man like you see the charts you see all the graphics like he was playing like top end cornerback ball like that second half of last year absolutely so I like if he just replicates that I mean he should getting better going into here too mhm getting bigger getting stronger like yeah he’s he’s going to be in that mix I I don’t think there’s there should be a dark horse adjective uh connected to that statement nah I could dig that I was literally just pulling up to see who are the corners that made it last year so total Ward and like Marlon Humphrey uh so you have uh Darius Slay or or we’ll go AFC excuse me on that one so Jaylen Ramsey made it last year uh Denzel Ward made it last year Patrick ceran the second made it last year and S Gardner made it last year in terms of uh just cornerbacks so in terms of Jaylen Ramsey I feel like with Jaylen you dealing with just is jayen so I think that he’s always going to kind of be in that combo kind of like the ray lewises or even the Bobby Wagner you know how it go pouncy for like last year yeah it’s like yo they’re always going to get that type of Nod but uh denzo a ward last year 13 games did have two picks um not a lot of other I’d have to look into to see a little bit more from him ceran obviously another one of those Island lockdown type dudes he’s going to be viewed really highly and then s Gardner who we know has a lot of that same type of talk and hype around him yeah but yeah I think that jpj could definitely make a case for it I just think in order to knock off the Rams ctin and sauce he’s going to need the splash turnovers I think that that is he or like have ridiculous numbers when targeted or like hold whatever ridiculous like stats that you could just pop up and say like yeah even though he’s not getting picks like this like remember Nom he never got picks but like when whoever the top receiver was and they yeah they wouldn’t get any yards against him it was like just so ridiculous no 100% I think that could definitely help but it has to be loud because that’s a loud stat that stat even though it’s not a turnover is just as loud as a turnover and I think that loud stats can help him jump some of these more established names because it’s hard to just take off a Jaylen Ramsey for a jpj it’s hard to take a pater tan the second off for a jpj and the way that they have viewed saon coming into the league they’re trying to make him be that next cuz I don’t think he had many picks like he got the stats and the stuff to consider him like lock down like oh man he’s watch this number one this number one this number one and they’ve only caught three catches for 60 yards total and it’s like those type of numbers are loud man and that’s kind of The Vibes that JJ was giving off last year Ian you saw the charts you saw the guys he was up against and yeah they weren’t really doing anything against jpj yeah so we’re going to see man if he can replicate it do it for the whole year which is a bigger ask maybe get like you said like the splash plays aren’t going to hurt that would only help that’s what we want from them yeah I look at it like this the splash plays will help if he’s not all the way there in the sense of just blanket every single person it’s only going to be no catches or one catch for five yards if you can’t do that on a week in and week out the splash turnover is the offset and that’s the way when you look at from the NFC cuz the NFC you had more of that going on NFC wise you have uh where’s uh my man from Dallas Don Bland he’s not special but nine picks that’s a loud bro five pick Sexes it’s loud it’s no different than when uh when the other digs boy did it when when uh Travon Diggs did it it was just like yo even though your floor isn’t here your playmaking is up here so that is going to get you over there I think it’s got to be one of those type of things for him man but I think he’s capable of it and that’s the other good part absolutely yeah but he’s going to get his opportunities though for a fact he’s going to get opportunities cuz yeah he’s going to be our guy that’s traveling or even not Trav he’s going to be the guy that’s matching up with the ones though and we think he’s capable of it and he’s going to have Spotlight yeah and the other sentence I didn’t really like about Bu from Bry Brooks here was the uh the Alpha Dog mentality and unshakable confidence could enable him to shine without a polished game yeah like you could take that in a good way bad way I I want I want jpj to polish up his game as much as possible and and get the penalties down but he’s not he’s not necessarily wrong it’s just that I don’t think that’s something jpj should be relying on his whole career MH you got like oh oh I’m a physical corner I got that Alpha Dog mentality and all this stuff it’s like no if you can clean up these penalties like do it like be an allaround amazing Corner yeah cuz you’re yeah if you’re capable like and I think he is capable of it like he was he was getting those penalties as rookies year and we we knew that was the rep on that game coming out of coming out of pen state but like bro there there’s a reason there’s off Seasons there’s a reason you put in this work and practice that’s two we talk about the second year jump that’s a part of I’m not going so I’m kind of with him on the statement but I’m also not again like I I am with Bucky Brooks and saying like if we do get a penalty game out of jpj but he’s only giving up 20 30 yards to the opposing team’s number one like I can live with that but like get to that next level and be talked about with some of those guys we just mentioned in the Pro but even maybe some of the all-time greats like I want him to clean up those slags yeah no that’s real and he’s capable of it but that’s for certain the way I interpreted it was yeah the knock on jpj coming out was he’s handsy the knock at times last year was he’s handsy and if you have referees that allow you to play physical and be handsy you can get away with it and it’s fine but we do know it times there are going to be officials versus certain receivers where they’re not going to always allow that and that’s where it could become a little bit of an issue but if he wants to go to that next level which we think he’s capable of that is the part where he has to refine his game I mean s Gardner has had to go through certain things jayen Ramsay has had to go through certain things Pastor tan has had to go through certain things where you have had success but in order to keep going and keep being at the top of that mantle you can’t just rely on oh I’m a great athlete all right now you gotta be able to use your hands all right I can’t just have great athleticism and hands I actually got to be willing to tackle all right I can’t just be willing to have great hands athleticism and Tackle also got to be able to play the ball down the grass and not panic oh it’s not just okay to get a pbu I actually got to catch some of these as well yeah those are the different things or even in Jaylen Ramsay’s case now where it’s like yo you’ve evolved where you don’t just play outside you’ll play in the slot sometimes so you’re showing now that okay maybe it’s not always that but I can still come in here and do this too with that pat p right we saw y sometimes you got to start evolving what else can you add to your game to keep you relevant to keep you as a asset for us and I think for jpj that would be the next thing but he has every single intangible just like I don’t want I I wouldn’t want him settling yeah cuz that would be it you would be settling and you can get away with it for a while but eventually it does catch up to you and I’m sure he’s not I’m sure that’s something he’s working on well we know he got that pedigree man I know his daddy daddy ain’t going for that yeah like it’s almost like the statement’s like you know you you have all these good things like the alpha do mentality the confidence the physical traits and stuff so you can get away with the the flag or two or being it’s like no why not why not have it all yeah why not have all that stuff but also have the polished game I think he scap he he did everything he did his rookie year already like like why not yeah I’m with it man good list though I like it I I like the list obviously jpj and uh Benton good names to have from the Steelers I I don’t really even mind the other names that much either I was trying to think of like a Darkhorse person for the Steelers that could maybe be not on this list but maybe like on a personal like Steelers list they like guys that we we could have in the back of our mind that break out I feel he’s a year away though that’s a good name I was going to say Le I’ve been hearing positive reports about Lea this off season okay I like that one transitions to more of like bent and Lea yeah for the future because tce is another name that people are excited about but he’s still more of the speculation T to be a good one for a Steelers list for Ste yeah yeah a deep cut Steelers list and Le those would be three good names I think cuz I feel like if her gets an opportunity that’s the only thing that’s keeping him from breaking out but I don’t see how he not enough snaps right I don’t see how he does that unless injury were to happen to high Smith or TJ which I don’t want so that’s why I’m like I feel like he’s still a year before that’s going to start you know seeing more playing time pyton Wilson’s a rookie so we can’t add him I feel like he’s another one that’s a year away cuz I need to see what does the queen Roberts along with returning look like and how long does that keep Wilson off the field before Wilson starts to come on this field cuz I think for Wilson man if erob Hokum Queen are healthy you start to see Wilson a lot more around week 10 I see it like a later in the year type of thing but I feel like going into that Following season next year I feel like that’s the guy that they’re going to be trying to put out there from day one with queen and say yeah we don’t have to pace oursel with you we don’t have to protect you we can just let you go because we we kind of if the whole conversation around him is how long will his career last we’ve kind of bought some of that time back by you not having to come out here early on because we still do have Aon Roberts and a Cole hok so that’s the kind of the way that I kind of look at it right now for him but yeah I like hervic though man so five really I think five solid breakout candidates on defense yeah Benton jpj I throw Le a nice one that’s a nice one though and then uh who else we you say herig and then Trace I’d have those five I guess you know if you had a top five Steeler breakouts on defense yeah I think that would be that’d be a solid list cuz I don’t even know if you can qualify anyone else really kind of broken out yeah yeah Deshawn Elliott he’s too old at this point K Dante Jackson’s already broken out you know who he is Patrick Queen obviously met a proar he’s already been cam Hayward no MH TJ heith no yeah yeah a five I’d say good good solid five on defense to watch out for that’s solid I like that I think all of them they’re very capable too like they’re they’re all names that like I could see a path it’s it’s just not worth floating out guys that are kind of young and haven’t broken out yet so like it could it could happen like there’s a way you could see the season playing out where wow Le stepped up a little bit here right and Le and think about it Le is already shown us what he’s you know flashed capable of right it’s like we know you’re athletic we know that you can run we know that you actually can produce but the consistency is the thing that has had us kind of looking at you like yo we need more but the ability is definitely there and I think all the guys we named I think the only one that we have the question the biggest question is Cory TR because we have just haven’t seen him in a stadium just yet but the rest of those guys we’ve seen in some capacity make plays and we feel like yeah if you could do it more consistently yeah you could definitely do that but it’s not a I’ve never seen this guy look like he’s in this uh this class before I think those you know what I mean so that’s why I like the five heck yeah how about this question from Pittsburgh Tod is Le just a bad fit for the 34 you can make a case he’s more of a 4-3 penetrator but at the same time it’s like I mean we play 43 probably we do enough of both which is basically same thing yeah I just think when I think of Leon I just think his foundation was a little altered by him having to do some of that DN and three technique stuff versus just strictly playing five technique and then when his base play or when his sub package play three technique and that’s that I think when we doing that big nickel go out here and play on his tight end for run support this and that I think it just kind of stunted his growth a little bit from a development standpoint but yeah you bounce back and that’s the thing like you got bounce back yeah this Steelers I’d say yep cuz well was this the end of his contract this will be coming up this will be year four no is this year three yeah this is year three yeah he has one year left cuz he he was a second rounder yeah but this is this is very much make a break though because if nothing really happens this year we’re really going to be trying to replace you next off season yeah if he doesn’t step up don’t be surprised they take a d tackle in the first or second like you’re going to get one of those in there the same way we started attacking that offense line it was like yo draft pick draft pick draft pick you’ll see them start attacking that dline all right C Laro y a little bit older all right we feel great about Keanu let’s add to the room let’s go get some pedig because it could be le it definitely could be it’s out there in front of him yeah but yeah he just hasn’t really hasn’t really lived up in full thus far but yeah third D line room’s a little busy I get that but his rookie year he showed some stuff and last year didn’t play much and when he was out there felt like a disappointment yeah that’s real yeah it happens so yeah we’ll see if he could change the narrative for year three yeah anything else though we got uh no extra super chest that roll I it I say yeah I feel like I feel like that was solid right there though baby because them all the players that we like him right now it makes sense for this particular uh conversation man so shout out to Bucky shout out to Bucky Brooks man shoot I don’t I don’t have anything else I say if you good I’m good man you know I ain’t tripping now why they say that sound like a solid one right there man it’s the 11:00 a.m. bro it’s clean it’s concise nice like that got enough time in the day to go golfing let me know if you want to go you know what leave me alone leave me alone we’re going leave me alone all right I’m recovering still once my 24-hour recovery is
