00:00But I don't think I really, uh, got a good feel yet for what you thought of the Steelers

00:04giving up the second and giving DK Metcalf $150 million to come be a new wide receiver

00:12in Pittsburgh.

00:13Well, first of all, let me say this about, uh, Grady's deal.

00:17Like I don't trust dudes after 10 years.

00:20So I think the Falcons frankly did the right thing, uh, letting him go because it's going

00:28to only get worse after you've been in this league a decade, you are used up like I'm

00:36telling you your body, your mind, everything about it is harder after like, you know, you

00:41go into an 11th year.

00:42Is that what you're telling me?

00:43I don't trust dudes like that.

00:45I really don't.

00:46This is a, I firmly believe a young man's game, a violent game.

00:50It takes its toll on people.

00:53And look, I won't deny that, uh, Metcalf's been around, right.

00:58With the Seahawks.

00:59He certainly played in a ton of football games and super bowls and he's a stud.

01:06I think he's more of a, um, like an Adonis type ripped athlete than he is, um, uh, a

01:16big time superstar performer.

01:18Right.

01:20Strong receiver who makes big catches because of his, uh, body because he's so strong and

01:28ripped and big.

01:29Like I think he's a problem for smaller corners and there are a lot of small corners in the

01:35NFL.

01:36There really are.

01:37They draft these guys.

01:38They're surprisingly small.

01:41You don't have a lot of tall corners.

01:43That's why guys like T Higgins and, uh, DK Metcalf go off.

01:48They're just too big.

01:50And I think that's why AJ Brown does it.

01:52I think he's too big for most corners.

01:55And like, for instance, a chase to me and a Jefferson and guys like this are speed for

02:02me.

02:03And I think Metcalf's more of a size and ripped muscle power receiver.

02:09I think the speed guys pickens and I think the bad-ass is Metcalf.

02:16There is no denying.

02:17They got better.

02:18They wanted a good receiver to go with pickings.

02:20Well, they got him now he's, he is used.

02:25There's no doubt he's used, but he plays a lot.

02:28He's not a guy that misses a lot of games.

02:30So we'll see if that holds steady.

02:34And if he can stay on the football field, you know, look at worst, they got Wilson throw

02:40into a guy that he threw to for his entire career.

02:43And then at best, and I see why Gabe is saying, go with Wilson.

02:48He's he's done it.

02:49He knows the system, everything else, Art Smith.

02:51He knows pickings.

02:53I don't think pickings likes Wilson.

02:55I really don't.

02:56I think he he's unhappy.

02:57He's like, this guy sucks, which I mean, we saw him fade like a, like a hairdo in December.

03:05So I'm worried about him as well.

03:07But if that's what I'm stuck with as a season ticket holder of the Steelers, it is what

03:11it is.

03:12You know, as they like to say in the South of France, I have no choice in the matter.

03:17Like I have no say in it.

03:18No bones.

03:19No one's going to call me up at the Steelers and say, Hey, what do you think of our quarterback

03:23situation?

03:24So it is what it is.

03:25But I think Metcalf is still a big problem for corners.

03:32I really do.

03:33And safeties, he's just too big.

03:34And I think he can make plays.

03:36So I think they got two really good receivers.

03:39What they need to do is get Pickens somehow, somebody, I think it's Tomlin has got to get

03:45him to grow the F up, like grow up.

03:49This isn't, you know, college football anymore with a bunch of cheerleaders sleeping with

03:53you.

03:54This is real.

03:55This is, you know, paycheck football.

03:57This isn't NIL football.

03:59This is real football.

04:00This is the NFL.

04:01And I think he's acted like a tool.

04:04He's like a child.

04:05So if he would ever grow up now, look, I've always said to you on this show, he's their

04:09best player.

04:11They got to keep him.

04:13So they got to fix him.

04:14He's demented.

04:16He's like immature.

04:17He's kind of a, you know, a giant PRI.

04:21You know what I mean?

04:22This guy is a pain in the ass.

04:24He needs to grow up and be a pro.

04:27Like, you know, they've had a lot of Super Bowls there.

04:29They want a lot of Super Bowls.

04:31You got to act like a pro.

04:33I think it bothers people the way he behaves.
