00:00I wanted to get your reaction to seeing Pickens traded to the Cowboys

00:04and what you think the Steelers were up to in terms of, you know,

00:08Mafia had said, why didn't they do it before the draft?

00:10And they could have, you know, gotten all these picks and blah, blah, blah.

00:14And then I was like, I think they want to stack it up for next year's draft

00:18that's in Pittsburgh, is load up on picks for that draft.

00:22I'll be honest with you.

00:24I've given up on trying to figure out what the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing, Scott.

00:28But it seems to me that you kind of just get worse on a daily basis

00:33instead of better.

00:34Like you're running, you know what I mean?

00:36There's like you said, if you're going into the draft

00:38and or there's a bunch of options available and it's like, listen,

00:42they're playing 4D chess here.

00:43They know what they're doing.

00:44What are they doing, right?

00:46And how many times are you going to draft a player?

00:48And, I mean, how many wide receivers become problems,

00:52so-called problems for the Pittsburgh Steelers?

00:56Is Pickens a problem or can Tomlin just not, is Tomlin too much of a player's coach

01:01that players are running wild on him?

01:03You don't have a quarterback.

01:05You overpay DK Metcalf.

01:08And what's the point of bringing DK Metcalf if you, we all know,

01:11one wide receiver is not enough in the National Football League.

01:15I don't get the Steelers plan, Scott.

01:16I got to be honest with you.

01:17Are they rebuilding?

01:18Are they retooling?

01:19Why don't you just keep Justin Fields?

01:21Like, honestly.

01:22He doesn't even make a lot of money.

01:24You were winning games with them, right?

01:26So, I don't know, Scott.

01:28I got to be honest.

01:28If I was a Pittsburgh, put it this way.

01:30If I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan, I like this deal, right?

01:33You didn't really give up anything.

01:34You got another wide receiver to add with CeeDee Lamb right now.

01:38Is he a little bit of a prima dama and a head case?

01:40Yeah.

01:41All right.

01:41But, you know, pretty much every wide receiver in the NFL is.

01:45You've got to figure out how to deal with them and just sort of keep them happy.

01:48I don't know, Scott.

01:50Like I said, I think if I'm the Dallas Cowboys, finally the Cowboys did something, right?

01:56I like what the Cowboys have had good drafts, just for the record, as far as the Cowboys' perspective.

02:01Cowboys draft well, guys.

02:02For all the criticism of Jerry Jones, and trust me, I get it, they do draft good players.

02:08And they just, you know what I mean, they don't pay them after.

02:11They don't want to bring in free agents.

02:14If you look at Dallas, Scott, this is what they needed to do.

02:17Jerry's been hesitant for all the money that they have.

02:19The Cowboys don't go over the Cowboys.

02:21Like, they don't spend money, Dallas.

02:23Like, for all the talk of, oh, they did this and that.

02:26They really don't.

02:27It's all sort of smoke and mirrors.

02:29This is sending a message, at least, we're getting better.

02:32We know we needed another threat.

02:34They got another threat.

02:35I like this from the Cowboys.

02:36I'm a little bit bullish on the Cowboys coming into the year, Scott.

02:39I think Schottenheimer will do a good job.

02:41Listen, say what you will about Dak Prescott.

02:44The guy who wins regular season games, Scott.

02:47When Dak Prescott's healthy, the Cowboys go to the playoffs and then they lose every year.

02:50But I'm talking about regular season wins.

02:52Their win total is like seven and a half, bro.

02:55Like, I don't think they're going to be that bad.

02:57Like, I don't know.

02:58How do you feel about it from a Steeler fan?

03:00Like, you're the one who sees the tickets.

03:01I don't know what the hell they're doing.

03:02They still don't have a quarterback.

03:05This kid, Will Howard, is not their quarterback.

03:07He's the, you know, I guess future in some capacity, perhaps.

03:12But the question is, are they going to get Lazard?

03:16That's been talked about this afternoon.

03:18Are they getting Rodgers?

03:20I'm sick and tired of waiting for Aaron Rodgers.

03:24And then I don't care if he was at the Met Gala with a wedding ring on.

03:28I don't care if he's married.

03:30How about this, Scott?

03:31I have never seen anything drawn out more than this guy's bullshack.

03:35How about this?

03:36And I'm with you.

03:37If I'm the Steelers, I wouldn't want him.

03:39And I don't know if they're insane, if this is their 40 chess plan.

03:43Then, oh, Aaron Rodgers will get off the ketamine for a day

03:46and decide he wants to play for us or whatever he's doing.

03:49You know what I'm saying?

03:51I don't get it.

03:52And Will Howard's not the answer, okay?

03:54Like, Will Howard's not better than Mason Rudolph.

03:57Mason Rudolph's better than Will Howard is.

03:59So, Will Howard's not the answer here.

04:01I'm just throwing – I brought this up the other night.

04:04I haven't heard anybody bring this up,

04:05but the Cleveland Browns are going to cut Deshaun Watson loose, Scott.

04:11Deshaun Watson, you roll the dice, you don't really have to pay him much

04:13because he just got $250 million from the Browns,

04:16and you tell him, listen, you don't have a lot of options, bro.

04:18So, you did sign Michael Vick before.

04:22How about – you know what I mean?

04:23I'm just staying.

04:23I'm just throwing it out there.

04:24You can't go into the season next year with Mason Rudolph

04:28and Will Howard is your quarterbacks, bro.

04:31And I'm going to put on a screen here.

04:34So, you could have a round of minutes...

04:35Sometimes I'm going to put on top of the video.

04:37I'm going to put it on top of this.

04:38There's a couple of minutes,

04:39but I'm going to do now.

04:40If you want me to put this down,

04:41I want you to take on top of this day.

04:42I'm going to get going back to you to the bottom of my mouth.

04:44I'm going to take all the notes.

04:45So, let's see.

04:46You can see.

04:47I'm going to put this down button.

04:50I'm going to put this down and be able to take the top down.

04:51I'm going to put this down.

04:53It's going to take 10 years later.

04:54I'm going to bring it back to the bottom of my mouth.
