Big trade of the NFL this week was
0:04
heading to Pittsburgh. Ma Fitzpatrick
0:06
coming back to Miami. Johnny Smith
0:11
I would tell the Pittsburgh Steelers,
0:14
good luck. You're going to need it. I
0:17
know when you grade out Jaylen Ramsay,
0:20
he is still an effective corner. And I
0:24
know if you are the Pittsburgh Steelers
0:26
today, you're thinking, "We're going all
0:29
in in 2025. We've got Aaron Rodgers.
0:34
We need to make sure we have no leaks on
0:36
defense." And Minka began to erode in
0:39
his playmaking the last two seasons. And
0:42
if we're going to unload Minka and maybe
0:44
it frees up money for TJ Watt, then
0:47
that's all a good thing, which is fair.
0:50
Now, you were absorbing or bringing in
0:52
Jaylen Ramsay's contract, which suggests
0:55
you won't have as much flexibility for
0:56
the TJ Watt deal to get done. So, I'm
0:59
not sure how much of a win that is
1:00
financially, but there is a reason that
1:04
Jaylen Ramsay has basically shot his way
1:07
out of town or departed three different
1:10
organizations in his prime.
1:17
Ramsay is a handful. and ask anybody in
1:20
Miami how much of a handful he has been.
1:23
Jaylen Ramsay has an attitude. Jaylen
1:27
Ramsay can at times be uncoachable.
1:30
Jaylen Ramsay plays by his own rules and
1:34
maybe much like Aaron Rodgers, you walk
1:37
into a locker room with Mike Tomlin at
1:39
the helm and maybe you fall into line
1:42
because of all the titles and all the
1:44
Hall of Famers and the the the uniform
1:51
And I would say for a Steelers team that
1:53
at times has seemed to desperately need
1:56
leadership to keep guys in line, George
2:02
to bring in Aaron Rodgers and to bring
2:05
in Jaylen Ramsay. Cross your fingers
2:07
that these guys who have been
2:09
egoomaniacs before and have been
2:11
difficult on coaches before and have
2:14
played when they wanted to play or how
2:16
they wanted to play before to bring
2:17
these guys in and hope that it goes
2:21
Again, good luck. Careful what you wish
2:24
for. Tomlin's right now feeling
2:28
pressure. The front office is feeling
2:30
pressure. And so they're trying to make
2:33
bold swashbuckling moves this off
2:36
season, but I'm telling you, you're
2:39
bringing in some headcases.
2:41
Rogers, we know. Now it's Ramsay. You
2:44
got to figure out the TJ Watt situation.
2:48
You also brought in DK Metaf, which
2:50
hasn't always been the smoothest sale
2:53
either. The Pittsburgh Steelers better
2:56
hope they've got a great culture, which
2:58
I don't know if we've really seen the
2:59
last couple of years because they are
3:02
really rolling the dice on personalities
3:05
this year. Watch that as a storyline.
3:08
How do the Steelers from a chemistry
3:11
standpoint, from a locker room
3:13
standpoint, how do they fit together and
3:15
do they all row in the same direction?
3:18
Because I got my doubts. and Jaylen
3:20
Ramsay. Yeah, my doubts are centered on
3:24
your locker in that locker room
