00:00
a big NFL trade as you mentioned let's get down to business with the particulars the Pittsburgh
00:05
Steelers will get Jalen Ramsey into their defensive backfield they'll get Jonu Smith
00:11
tight end as well who of course had a huge year for the Dolphins last year he's had a lot of
00:16
history with Arthur Smith the Steelers offensive coordinator and then going back to Miami second
00:23
time he'll be going there is Minka Fitzpatrick so there's a couple of low-level picks involved
00:28
here too Scotty but really the meat and bones Ramsey and Jonu Smith for Minka Fitzpatrick you
00:33
like the deal for the Steelers yeah I think the Steelers get a seventh rounder in 27 and the
00:40
Dolphins get a fifth rounder is that right in 27 something to that effect so it really is all about
00:48
the Steelers getting rid of Minka Fitzpatrick who I have to be honest with you like I like Minka
00:57
Fitzpatrick I thought he was a good player like I said was a good player I think you know his
01:05
three Pro Bowls those days are over and I thought he was shot last year as their safety and I like
01:13
Elliott better now as their like the strong safety right so now they get another corner in Ramsey
01:20
who's also a three-time Pro Bowler and their cornerback room just got better and they get
01:28
this big tight end in Jonu Smith who they love and who Smith loves and we'll see if Rogers loves because
01:35
he's not a tight end type of quarterback if you really think about it he's a receiver quarterback he
01:41
throws downfield more than he throws dump offs and underneath but they got Friar Muth and Jonu Smith now
01:48
and Ramsey in that secondary with Elliott they've already got you know let's face facts you can say
01:56
whatever you want about him they got uh Metcalf right so they're loaded at everything and all this
02:03
talk I'm hearing about they're gonna trade TJ Watt that's not happening either okay so I don't think
02:10
that's even remotely in the cards all this talk today they're he's next I don't believe that I think
02:16
they're gonna give him a new deal and he'll finish his career as a Steeler so um this is a huge trade
02:23
it really is and I think the Steelers got the better of it uh because of Smith I think that Ramsey for
02:29
Minka is like uh flipping a coin you know what I mean like one side to the other they're the same player
02:35
and at the same point of their career who do you think has more in the tank as a player and I would
02:43
say and I know this is gonna sound crazy but I think it's Ramsey because I've already seen Minka
02:48
do nothing last year the whole year he did nothing so I've already seen his tires lose tread so I haven't
02:57
seen that yet from Ramsey the one thing I've seen from Ramsey is he's never happy the guy's never happy
03:04
like he's just never happy I mean this guy won't be happy when they put him in heaven he'll go to heaven
03:09
and he'll complain I mean honestly like the pearly gates will let him in and he'll still have a
03:14
reason to not like it like that I have a problem with but that's not my problem that's their problem
03:20
well look and I and I think that this could be um because this could be a short-term marriage uh and
03:28
look I know that there's a extra money involved here in deals uh this is an easy thing that the Steelers
03:33
can get out of after one year if they so choose uh and if it if it's not a good marriage they can get out
03:38
of it fairly quickly but it seems to me Scotty and I agree with you they're not they're not trading
03:42
TJ Watt all right so they can try to pump all the smoke they want today that oh well you know teams
03:48
are calling about what they're not dealing what I think what the Steelers are clearly doing here
03:52
Scotty is they know they've got one year with Aaron Rodgers and they are putting the chips in the
04:00
middle here uh to try to make the best roster that they can for this season to try to go as far as
04:06
they possibly can that will include DJ Watt I think that's what the Steelers are clearly up to
04:10
here yeah and look uh all this talk of seven and a half wins screw that I'm telling you this is the
04:18
same team that won 10 games last year before December okay they own that division all year
04:25
until the last month when they blew it and the Ravens took it from them which is what should have
04:29
happened right the Ravens should have led the division the whole season but they had their
04:33
problems the Steelers didn't they didn't have their problems until December where they lost five
04:38
games other than that they were a playoff team they were one and done like they always are anymore
04:42
uh whatever it was 2016 the last time they won a playoff game they're just not winning in the
04:48
playoffs they don't matter but you know in the last 25 years the Pats and Steelers are one two
04:55
in a regular season wins and the people that doubt this guy Tomlin get burned every year
05:01
they all say he's not going to win uh this many games and he always does he's not going to make
05:06
the playoffs and he always does I mean it's like what it's eight out of every ten times right they
05:12
go to the playoffs so I think they're loaded and people think they suck you know what I think the
05:19
Bengals suck and I think the Browns suck that's what I think I think it's still the Ravens and the
05:24
Steelers in the north
