Deebo & Joe - James Harrison reacts to Aaron Rodgers Steelers debut + Bills MIRACULOUS win vs Ravens

24:11This loss on me. I'll take care of the ball. I feel like it would be different. It would be a different, if I take care of the ball, I feel like it would be a different situation. I don't, I don't, Yes, if he does that, it makes it to where they have a better opportunity to win. But I think it was a combination of what it looked like to me, the offense trying to burn time and the defense trying not to get big plays chalked up on them and just playing.

24:38James Harrison:You're going to play calling. You got to stay aggressive with the play calling. You got to stay aggressive. Come on, don't act like we're not trying to just walk out of here. We want to beat them. We want to continue to score points. You know what I'm saying? not like looking at the clock clock watch right so you know you go in situation like this and you lose you know that right there is going to going to wear you know on your confidence you know going into another situation where you may be in that same you know in that same situation and now you're kind of you know things start going they get they get a little touch here they get a little little something there um you know that's something that may creep into you know uh some guy's minds I'm hoping that it's not, but, you know, when you're out there calling and you're playing through it, especially when you can't make the calls as a defensive play caller and you're taking your calls from, you know, the coordinator, it gets frustrating.

25:39James Harrison:Yeah. And I think now, too, it's starting to get to a point where the Ravens got to start looking at it. It's really, it's nobody else but the Bills or the Chiefs. You know what I'm saying? Like, they start, like, it gets a little tight in these situations. No other teams are beating the Ravens in this game. They have 15 on anybody else. I'm not seeing them losing. I can see if it's the Bills with Josh Allen or the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes where they've been in situations. They just got a little sticky, got tricky where they just can't close out these teams. I don't know why. Like you said, the play calling too many get a little nervous.

26:08You got to give, like I said, it's 90%, you know, the player. You know, you got to give credit to Josh Allen. You know, the reigning MVP. He went, what, 33 for 46 with almost 400 yards passing, two touchdowns, you know, along with, you know, two more scores on the ground, you know. So you can't just, you know, say it. He balled out, no doubt, no question. But the Ravens, you know, they gave him I believe they gave him a little help by making it, you know, a little easier and not not putting the pressure on him, not playing your defense the way you were playing it before. You know, you allowed him to actually become the Bills all time Russian leader in that game for touchdowns.

26:49You know what I'm saying? Like the Russian leader for for for a football team and, you know, in a franchise history. That's that's wild. You know, should Josh Allen be an early MVP favorite after this, you think?

27:03James Harrison:I think so, for sure. Like, this, he, him, the way that he does it, the way that he goes out there and consistently uses his legs, if you got to use his legs, he threw the ball 46 times for almost 400 yards. You know what I'm saying? So whatever they need him to do, he gets it done, and it's going against the Baltimore Ravens. They put up 40 points, and they put up 41. So, I mean, like, these numbers, the stats, what he's been doing, I mean, obviously, he needs to be in one of the top for MVP contention right now. Yeah, yeah. I would say that, but again, you know, it's week one. Let's not jump the gun.

27:37I mean, reigning MVP, you know, we'll get past that, although I think Lamar should have had it last year. I think Lamar should have had it last year, for sure. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, you got to look at, you know, other games. You got to look at other quarterbacks. I like Aaron, you know. That was 136 rating or something like that. Like, come on. I know he did something. He came back. He did all that, you know, but, you know, Aaron did it. You know, he was getting pressured. You know, he didn't have a run game with him. You know, I like Aaron. I mean, it's probably because he's the black and gold.

28:14I'm not debating.

28:15James Harrison:I love Aaron. Aaron threw for four studies, you know what I'm saying, to multiple different receivers. And it's not like – and DK Metcalf didn't have the craziest game. Right. He spread it around. We didn't rush for too many yards. So if it wasn't for him, you know what I'm saying, the Steelers would have been in a completely different situation. For sure. For sure, especially with defense struggling and, you know, everything else. Yeah, that, like I said, I'm going towards, you know, I'm going towards the black and yellow because, you know, we. You get real French, man. I get real, you know what I'm saying?

28:48I get real French. I started doing things like talking with my hands. I don't know why because I'm not really that kind of person. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, I do that. And then, you know, they let Josh Allen do that. And then the Bills fans, they got crazy with it, too. They start putting their hands on people, man. Like, somebody threw a drink at Derrick Henry during his touchdown run. And I believe Lamar and he got shoved in the head, dude. Dude, in his helmet, bro. Like, what are you doing in that situation?

29:27James Harrison:You know, I'm going to try to stay away from the crowd. But at the end of the day, he was hot. He seen his man Henry get slapped inside the head. I saw him jump in there, give him a little shove. Dude hit him in the head too, though. He got in the head too? Yes. He got in the head. Yes. He pushed. Dude didn't do nothing. The first person he pushed in the head, dude didn't do nothing. Then he went, the same cat pushed Lamar, and Lamar pushed him back. Like, what are you doing? Like, what else did they do to these fans? man. It's not okay to keep putting your hands on people. You know? But, you know, they need to, I don't know, Lamar did what he had to do.

30:08Listen, listen, if it's me, if I'm the commissioner, you need to lock them up. Do you realize that in some states, assault is simply me saying, I'm going to kick your ass. I just made you fearful. That's assault. Now, battery, in some states, is just unwanted touching. That's worse at best case, like, it's battery. Worst case, it's a salt-and-battery. What are we talking about? Y 'all talk about protecting the players. The NFL Shield talked about protecting the players. That dude should have charges put on him, and he should be sitting in jail ready to go to court. Protect the players and everything, not just where it's head trauma and everything else, that y 'all really worried about your wallet and not the player.

30:57at all costs in every situation.

31:01James Harrison:You are not lying. If they will be getting charged with assault and battery, I promise you they will not put hands on any players. I think that would be for sure. Like I said, assault is just unwanted touching. Don't put your hands on people. People won't put their hands on you. Nobody touch nobody. Nobody touch nobody. What your parents always said. You keep your hands to yourself. You treat people the way you want to be treated. You know what I'm saying? Just the simple things. That's what we did against the basics. Let me pose a question. Let me pose a question. You don't even know what I'm talking about.

31:39I ain't going to say it. You got to look at the... I'll send you the shot. Send me to it. Yeah, I'll send it to you. Let's go on over here, man, to see what your Brownies did with the Bengals. So the Bengals beat the Browns 17-16, man. Dang, the Browns outgained the Bengals 327-114 and had the ball on nearly 36 minutes, dude, but it wasn't enough, brother. What went good? What went wrong? What do you think the Browns could have did better to come out and edge that game off?

32:21James Harrison:So the Browns defense, shout out to the defense. I wasn't going to lie. The first drive, Chase Brown just drove the ball straight down the field. He was running through everything to score. They tightened up. Myles Garrett did amazing, had sacks. It's just we need to end of the day. Jamar Chase, Higgins, they have Joe Burrow. They have an explosive offense. We kept them to 17 points. We got to figure out a way to score a little bit more points. I think Jerry Judy, he ended up, he dropped some passes in some particular spots. We just got to be able to get points on the board, man. Be able to make consistent first downs, keep drives going, and put points on the board.

32:59James Harrison:I think that was just the biggest thing. Our defense did well. Our offense just can't never, we can't really establish our identity. We don't know what our identity is. So I think that's the main thing for the Browns. But I'm really excited for the defense, but the offense still. How do you think Flacco played, man? Joe? He didn't do awful. He didn't do awful. I don't think some of our receivers helped him out, and I don't think our run game obviously helped him out either. He's not going to be a guy. He threw the ball 45 times. You know what I'm saying? That's a lot of those for Joe. I think we need to have more of a run game to be able to lean on it for him.

33:37James Harrison:Like him stepping back, throwing it 45 times is not a winning process for the Browns to win a lot of games. I don't think. I think we need to be able to. I didn't think Cincinnati had that good of a defense, and especially along with how, you know, the Browns had been doing in previous years running the ball. I thought it would be one of those situations where they could possibly, you know, squeeze it out at the end. But like you said, to see Joe in there doing, you know, 45, you know, passes, that's not something that I expected, you know. 45 passes and we throw one tighty and two picks. we can't be having the turnovers.

34:16James Harrison:That's the part where... Now, hey, one of them picks ain't his fault. One of them picks ain't his fault. He came about his hand. That's the Jerry Judy... That's the Jerry Judy... He bounced it to him now. That's when I said the Jerry Judy drop, but that's where I'm talking about the turnovers. We just can't be giving the ball up. We got to make sure we got to be... At least get three. At least get three. The ends drives when we need to be able to get some points. So, I mean, I think just... We got to catch the ball and hopefully we got to run the ball better and not have Mr. Joe Flacco dropping back 45 times because that is not what I think is our formula to win games.

34:52James Harrison:Okay. Yeah, for sure. Sure. Let's get on over here to the Packers, man. The Packers beat the Lions 27-13. Jordan Love threw a pair of touchdown passes and Parsons had a second Green Bay's debut. What did you think of that game, man? the outcome, did you expect it? Did you think that the Packers would win? I thought it was going to be a lot closer than this. I thought the Lions and the Packers were more like on the same level to see who was going to be on the top of their division. But at the end of the day, the Packers, like I said, I mean, Jordan Love balled out and Micah Parsons, he didn't play as many snaps, but like his effort to the ball, his, you know what I'm saying, He got him a sack and like he was chasing when he was chasing the quarterback.

35:39James Harrison:He looked like he didn't have a chance. His effort, his energy. I loved him being around the team and he brought he brought some juice. I'm going to take back what I said to him. He looks very happy. I think it might be a good thing for everybody to be in the facility on Tuesdays in Wisconsin. That's not a bad thing. You know, everybody's a good thing. You can anywhere do on Tuesdays because, you know, everybody is dedicated to that same thing. A thousand percent. And nothing else is coming before the season. It's the season. When they had a day off, where would we rather be but to study the tape, to study the film, to get right?

36:11James Harrison:You're going to get the extra lift. That's that extra. That's that extra. That's what's going to be the difference. Yeah, I think, Jordan, I'm with you. I think he played excellent. And, you know, again, you know, I go back to the same thing. You know, it was a little opportunity there where they had a ball in their hand and they could have got it going the other way. You know, I'm just looking for something that will give me an edge. That's all it is. No, for sure. I'm not looking for anything. Bebo, trust me, as a fan, when you're watching these games and you start to see it, you know how when you're playing it like this, stuff happens.

36:41James Harrison:You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, no, he just stripped them. But you're like, when you're watching, you're like. Yeah. I think the big thing for Detroit was, oh, sorry, for Green Bay was they gave Jordan the time that he needed to do what he needed to do. They blocked him well. I was thinking that, you know, Detroit would be able to get, you know, more pressure than they did with, you know, would be able to to to stop, you know, what was going on. The other thing is that. Both sides of Detroit's offensive and defensive coordinators like they they changed, you know, again, it's new guys in there.

37:20And as much as people don't want to say, you know, we're we're still got the same system, nothing to change. well you got a different play caller man that changes a lot you know sitting in there with dick lebeau as long as i had him you know it was a blessing dick lebeau would sit on the sideline and he didn't even have a chart he'd sit there and he'd be like

37:45and he called a defense from his head by looking at the personnel so when you're a you know when you're a coordinator you want to be a great coordinator great offensive defense especially a defensive coordinator you're you're playing a game of chess with the offensive coordinator yes it's it's it's times well all of coach LeBow's defenses every every defense has one weakness when you start trying to cover more than one weakness you make holes in it and he would tell us okay listen we're gonna run this if this happens that's on me because that's on the defense so he's out out there, he's playing chess and he's trying to make better moves than his offensive coordinator opponent.

38:26And I think when Detroit lost those two coordinators to head jobs, when they hired the other two dudes so they could, you know, keep the same system. And that's a good thing to do. So they were thinking that the turnaround of, you know, playing out the offense, playing out the defense would be the same. And it's not the same because now you have to let that new coordinator get into a groove, get a feel of the game, just as we as players get a feel of the game. When you have an offensive or defense coordinator that gets a feel of the game, he can make better calls that are dictated to make better plays against certain formations and, you know, everything else.

39:11That way it gives you a better opportunity to have, you know, better play. A thousand percent. Like, I'm with you. I still believe that, you know, Green Bay was going to win the game. But I didn't believe that it would get, you know. like that as sideways as it it ended up getting which really the score doesn't justify how you know how sideways it was like they couldn't even run the ball that's unheard of for Detroit you know in the in the last previous so many seasons especially how we talked about their running backs man yes you got you got you got a two-headed monster over there and they came out there and just shut it down.

39:54I believe what, even with the, what's his name? The faster guy, not David, not Montgomery. Yeah, Gibbs. Like, I think Gibbs caught like 10 passes for 60-something, 40-something yards or something. Like, that's unheard of. That man had 31 yards on 10 catches.

40:18James Harrison:31, I lied. He had 31 yards. 31 yards on 10 catches. Yeah. Like, that's just unheard of. I think, you know, Green Bay came out there ready to get a job done, and they got it done. I think you made a good point, too, about the coordinators changing. My boy Aaron Glenn, the head coach of the Jets, he was my DB coach in Cleveland when I first got there. One of the best DB coaches I ever heard was really on me about technique, tackling, you know what I'm saying, being in the right position. Very, very coached me very, very hard. And that's what I needed. And that's what I like. And that's what made me, kept me accountable for everything.

40:54James Harrison:Because he played in the league too. Aaron Glenn had 41 picks while he played in the league. I have nothing but respect for a man that played and is literally just giving me genuine gems. Wants me to be good. So that coordinator switching and not getting that from AG, that energy, that juice, it could be different for Detroit. You know what I'm saying? It's another man trying to give you the same cause as AG, but just don't know what's going on. You got to have that feel, that feel for the game. You stay in chess. You setting them up for, oh, no, we're going to do this, do this, do this, and then we're going to run them with this little blitz.

41:24James Harrison:You know what I'm saying? So just knowing you're trying to put the offensive coordinator in a different position, you never know what this D coordinator is doing. Hopefully you're teaching the same defense, but you don't have the same play-calling vibe. Yeah, yeah, for sure. You've got to have a feel for that game. And then also it's not just the feel for it. You've got to have a feel for it depending on the players you're going against. What is that offensive strength? What is their weaknesses? is what is the likelihood of, you know, so on and so forth. But, you know, after seeing this, do you think the Packers, teeth again, teeth again, you know what I'm saying?

41:58You think the Packers are the, anything where I'm pressing against my mouth, dude, I'll pop off on it. Do you think the Packers are the favorite in the NFC North?

42:08James Harrison:I do. I do. Especially, they haven't taken anything away. Jordan Love is starting to play better ball. And Micah Parsons there on the defensive side. And, yeah, they look ready, man. So, I mean, especially after beating the Lions like this, I don't know if it was better Packers, bad Lions, but I'm going to go with better Packers because I don't think Jordan Love is getting any worse and Micah Parsons on the team coming through, bringing the juice and energy and speaking so highly about dudes. I'm switching my whole vibe up about dudes being in the facilities now, too, because the more I think about it, you have a football season one year.

42:43James Harrison:You've got to be there every day. That's your vibe. Monday, good Mondays, Tuesday, we're going to get the preparation to get a jump on the next week. So, I mean, I'm loving everybody being in there. So, I think. You know what I didn't like in season is the offseason. And guys would go on vacation and go do whatever, like, actually away from anything, not doing. I didn't like that. Like, that's time that you could be using to try and get better. That's just the way I felt about it. You know, once the season started, I'm a person that I wasn't going anywhere until it was done. And, you know, that's what it was.

43:20If you had a job, you know what I'm saying? You're in every day.

43:23James Harrison:What would you do, D-Bow? Would you get, you don't, you don't get. So it depends. It depends. As soon as the off season was out, if everything was good and we did well, I'm going straight to training. if everything my body is a little little weak then you know i'll i'll take maybe a few few weeks off maybe three four or six weeks off whatever it may be okay i'll get to training if we did terrible i'm leaving as soon as the season over with and i'm going i'm going to train i'm getting on the first flight smoking that evening you know i'm saying like i'm going to I'm going to the, I'm going to my trainer and we hitting the ground running.

44:03So I was a person that found out quickly that it's easier to stay in shape if you never get out of shape. Yeah. Especially as you get older, you know, when you're younger, you can, you can go in there and say, okay, yeah, I can take a couple of weeks or, you know, and, and come back. And the older you get, the less time you could take off, the more things you got to do to recover so that you're able to go out there and perform. I'm with you.

44:31James Harrison:Yeah. I don't think it's no real. For real, I wouldn't think it was. Amazon Health AI presents Painful Thoughts. Why did I search the internet for answers to my cold sore problem? Now I'm stuck down a rabbit hole filled with images of alarmingly graphic sores in various stages of ooze. I can clear my search history, but I can never unsee that. Don't go down the rabbit hole. Amazon Health AI gets you the right care fast. Healthcare just got less painful. What's up, fam? I'm sports journalist Ari Chambers. Hey, what's up, y 'all? It's your girl Sam Jay. And we're the hosts of Everyone Watches Women's Sports, a new podcast from Together and I Heart Women's Sports.

45:14James Harrison:Because let's be real, women's sports is giving us way too much to talk about these days. So Kelsey Finler, she became the first female solo rower to go from California to Hawaii. My first thought is, like, what's up with the snacks? Like, what are we eating? The highlights, the rivalries, the breakout stars, the moments that take over your entire timeline. And the conversations that start during the game and somehow keep going all week. Every week, we're breaking down the biggest stories across women's sports. Naomi Osaka showing out. She beat Sabalenka. Shout-outs to you, Naomi. You get the palm, Naomi.

45:48James Harrison:You get the palm for that. Because we're not just interested in what happened. We're interested in why everyone's talking about it. Because everyone watches women's sports. Listen to everyone watches women's sports on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

46:26James Harrison:Breaking down the sketches, exploring the backstories of our most iconic characters, revisiting the Portland locations you know and love, and opening up about our creative process. How did any of this get made? Why do we think that was a good idea? We're ready to talk about it. And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more. Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised, not just words, but a song, a melody. Well, I thought he was going to write, I thought you were all going to write a song.

47:00I remember you thinking that.

47:03James Harrison:Listen to Podlandia Ayo Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A real, like a takeoff. If you were ever to go on vacation, I mean, as soon as you get done, you need to be still getting it in, have your trainers, whatever you do, kind of be set up, I feel like. And I don't think once I first got out, once I first got out, like once I started getting older, I would probably need just a good two, three weeks. And I'm saying with doing those two, three weeks, we're still working out. But we're not doing no like cleats, football stuff, like right back to it.

47:37James Harrison:I think there's different. There's like off-season training sessions, you know what I'm saying? But like, there's no point that you're not doing anything. You should always be working on something, getting your body right, still lifting, still doing certain things. But there's different joints so that not right after the season I'm right back to Cleese. No. The point is, Joe's saying, get your ass in there on Tuesday and get some work done. Yes. Make yourself better. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. We can't have what we had last week or on Sunday or Monday, whatever it may be. We got to get in here and get better.

48:11So Detroit, they need to get better on the offensive side. Are you concerned with Detroit's offensive performance? Do you think it is caused to start maybe doing some furniture moving?

48:26James Harrison:No, it's super early in the season. They still got them guys, man. I know that they're going to go in there. It's just depending on the coaching. They got to go give hard, real talk. When these meeting rooms come and they starting to watch who's missing their blocks, why is it looking like this? Because the talent isn't gone. We still have the same roster. We still got these same players. So we got to make sure, like, the hard-earned facts, who's not balling, why are you not balling? This isn't up to par. So they got to really get into some meeting rooms and figure it out because I don't think that the players hasn't changed as much.

48:55James Harrison:They still had the same running back tandem back there, a lot of the same linemen. So I think it's just being able to look in the mirror and figure out this ain't going to work for us. So they got to get better, but they got to get better fast. Yeah, yeah. Speaking of poor performances on offense, the Colts beat the Dolphins 33-8. Tua completed 14 of 23 passes for 114 and a touchdown, but he threw two interceptions, lost a fumble, lost a fumble for a second turnover, multiple turnover game in the past three starts. Was this performance, was this a bad performance or just a sign of Tua? What do you think?

49:39James Harrison:Man, bad performance for sure. I mean, when you throw two picks and lose a fumble, that's not a good game. But at the same time, I'm not going to put it all on Tua because at the same time, the Colts did not score. So the Dolphins' defense did terrible out there and insistent. Tua did not play well in any shape of their imagination, but their whole team dropped the ball in this game. Dolphins' defense looked terrible. Tua looked terrible. Tyreek was visibly pissed on the sideline, obviously, because, I mean, this isn't what he wants to do out there. So, I mean, they just need to do a whole little reevaluation of what they got going on.

50:19James Harrison:So you think they should go ahead and break up Tua and Tyreek? Oh, for sure. You think so? Been done. Been done. Tyreek, after he told them that he didn't want to be out there and Tua came back like, man, you need to be doing your thing. And instantly, first game, soon as things go bad, Tua has one of these games. You think Tyreek is not – do you think Tyreek is going to be – there's going to get a better friendship once they start playing bad and he's already pissed? Listen, when it go bad, you got to pull in. You got to get tighter. You got to get closer. You know what I'm saying? That's like when things are going bad in life, you don't pull away from God.

50:53You pull closer. You get into your word more. What are you talking about?

50:56James Harrison:You got to pull closer. This is not – this is not the word. This is not the word. This is not the word. This is Tyreek and Tua. And I'm not buying it. Listen, you also got to look at the fact that the Colts, bro, they scored on every possession. Like, dude was dropping dimes over there. Like, that's the first time, what, in, I don't know how long it is that you had a team score on every possession. Like, they went out there and they did something that hadn't been done in a long, long time. Like, when was the last time that was done? 1977. Yeah. Okay. And then what Jones do? He does this his first time back with his first time making his debut with with the Giants.

51:46He went out there and did exactly what he did here. Like the only other time it was done or the last time it was done before this was him doing it with the with the Giants. Danny Dimes yes Danny Dimes that's what they calling him Danny Dimes I'm trying to figure out who Danny Dimes was and then I go and look and I'm like it's him oh okay when he doing that you can change the name to Dimes

52:12James Harrison:that's what I'm saying it's no problem it's no problem with that they whooped that's what I'm saying scored on every single possession yes they did not not score So Danny Dimes, man, deserves all the love. If I was the Dolphins, I would be pissed too because you got scored on every time and you only score eight points. So it is not a good day in Miami. Not a good day. Yeah, speaking of his old team, the Giants, the Commanders beat the Giants 21-6. So New York offense did not look competitive with Russ Wilson running it. Russ was pressured on 16 of 45 dropbacks, 36%, and handled the pressure poorly.

52:58He was 2 of 12 for 26 yards and was sat twice when pressured. New York managed just 234 yards of total offense, brother. They averaged 3.2 yards of rush and stumbled twice in the red zone. You think they should give a dart opportunity? Give him a look?

53:18James Harrison:I said it earlier. We're going to give. That was bad. So I said we were going to give. That's the warning shot? That's the morning shot. We said he was going to give him three games, and I love Russ. That's my good man. But it wasn't looking too good. Dayball, I know he's not trying to pull a plug already. He wants to give him a couple of more chances. But I think if it looks like this again, week two, I don't see why not. You kind of know what you got, but you don't want to throw your man out there and then Dart be out there getting hemmed up. You don't want to just throw him out there and make sure your other talent is absolutely performing.

53:49James Harrison:So if neighbors, I think we got to get him going. Just start throwing him the ball. So I think Russell can get his relationship with neighbors going, get some points on the board. It may not get him kicked out. But if he looks like this again, week three, Dart is probably going to be out there. If you got your quarterback getting pressured, you know, I don't I don't know if I want to just throw him out there and put him in the same situation. you know unless he has a higher uh understanding and and and IQ of where to go with the ball and he can get it out faster that's something that yeah you can look at and do but putting him in there with a learning curve of not having a run game or uh you know offensive line that's going to be able to protect him consistently I don't I don't know if that's the thing to do either so Yeah, they might just be throwing them out the dry if they do that thing.

54:43And I don't – I mean, they kind of did that with your guy, right, that's over at the Colts right now, right?

54:51James Harrison:Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Is it the talent around, whoever is the quarterback, or is it the quarterback? Because we got Danny Dimes looking, like, amazing over there, and then we got Russell Wilson coming to the spot. I'm like, so you never really know. People definitely didn't think this highly of Daniel Dimes when he was in New York. Yeah, I'm thinking he got to be able to do better than two or 12, you know, with pressure. I mean, that's what, seven, six percent completion, something like that. It can't, it got like, he got to do better. But at the same time, like, you don't want to put him out there if you don't have to.

55:32at some point. If it keeps going like this, they're going to have to because you didn't draft him just to sitting there. Yeah.

55:40James Harrison:I would hope Russell Wilson just, I would hope that they can block it up for him, like you said, too. Had a lot of pressure coming, but then you got to be able to know where to go with the ball quick. And that's pretty what he's normally pretty good at making quick decisions. So if you got the pressure coming, hot routes, you know what I'm saying? Like you said, now balls, being able to just get it out of your hands. For sure. You got to be able to get that thing out of your hands. But like I said, you got Aaron over there. Again, the protection is not great, but Aaron has a great understanding of where the ball needs to go.

56:08He has a great understanding of reading the defense, alternative, you know, check down, run game because we aren't running the ball effectively, things like that. A good quarterback can can effectively, you know, equal out a lot of a lot of bad things or things that are up to par. yeah so the bucks oh the bucks beat the falcons 23 to 20 in dramatic fashion um that's my guy uh what's his name um that's baker mayfield yeah yeah yeah yeah always you in for baker man yeah yeah he threw uh he threw he threw a pass in there that was like on a rope, dude. I was surprised. Ain't gonna lie. I mean, not really surprised.

57:01I was impressed, I should say.

57:06James Harrison:Baker was never... Baker always was just a solid, solid, competent quarterback. I wish back in the day if the Browns... They had Baker. We could have kept them signing for a nice little deal. We'd have kind of kept the quarterback position there good, but that's neither here nor there. That's neither here nor there. Yeah, Baker completed 17 to 32 passes, dude, for 167, Three touchdowns, dude. Yeah, he slanged that thing a little bit. The rookie caught two touchdown passes, including a go-ahead 25-yard with 59 seconds left remaining. That's wild. But, man, Berkey has the clutch gene, bro. Solid, solid, solid quarterback.

57:44James Harrison:He's been doing it now in Tampa for a minute. Him, Mike Evans, just always Rufa Baker, man. He's always just been solid, just a hard worker, you know what I'm saying, and getting it done. we go over here to the Broncos. The Broncos spoiled Cam Ward's debut, man. 20 to 12. Went over the Titans. What, uh... I feel... Number one draft choice, right? That's Cam Ward? Yes, yes, that's Cam Ward. Number one pick, man. And I saw that. He did not do bad. A lot, like, a couple of his receivers dropped a lot of passes on him. He was putting it in great spots. You know what I'm saying? I think Calvin Ridley dropped one.

58:26James Harrison:I saw three passes in the fourth quarter dropped by his receiver. So he's a rookie quarterback out there trying to get it done. I think that there's certain situations where they could have helped him out and made it closer, made the drive. He could have had a game-winning drive if they would have caught some of those balls. So he didn't look bad. I think he's on his way, and I just need them the same thing. With these young quarterbacks, keep them upright, keep them protected. it don't let this break his confidence because you know you're out there on there just expecting yourself to do so well but it's going to be a learning curve you're going to have a learning curve you're not just going to come in here and be instantly get everything off the rip i just want him to just stay stay focused stay motivated and know you know i'm saying hopefully your teammates they're going to start catching some of these passes but you looked you look solid my brother yeah so the rams beat the texans 14 and 9 this matthew stafford passed with 245 in a touchdown while becoming the 10th quarterback in NFL history with 60 ,000 yards in the air.

59:26Doesn't Stafford have the back issue going on?

59:30James Harrison:I think he does. I think he does. A little strange. A little strange. Like I said, too, he's been in the league a long time. OG, vet, taking care of his body. As long as they can protect another line, take care of his body, he's going to be able to get it out of there. He's been spinning it for a long time. And it's just his accuracy, 21-29, not too many incompletions. Love Matthew Stafford. For sure, for sure. We're going to go on over here to the 49ers Seahawks. Third string tied in. Late touchdown gives the 49ers the 17-13 win over Seattle. Well, well, well. Oh, Kittles got hurt in that game, buddy.

1:00:10Yeah. He went out. What quarter did Kittles go out? Was it second or third quarter he went out?

1:00:18I think it was. So, what's his name? The quarterback. I'm horrible with names, dude. Little dude. My man, Purdy. Purdy, yeah. Oh, Purdy. Yeah, yeah. I didn't think he did as well as, well, he didn't do as well as he was doing, you know, previously with, you know, all the weapons that he had. So, I think they're going to have some, well, I wouldn't say trouble, but they're going to have some difficulty in getting through their schedule, maybe.

1:01:03James Harrison:How is it running back? How's McCaffrey? McCaffrey is back. He's healthy. He's back. He's healthy. He'll be good to go. Yeah, he played the game, everything. I think McCaffrey's going to help out I don't think it was that effective I don't know how many carries they actually ended up giving him but you know that's neither here nor there the Cardinals beat the Saints 20-13 Kyler Murray kind of did his thing he passed 163 he hit Marvin Harrison Jr. five times with 71 yards in the touchdown Murray also rushed for 38 yards so I like Marvson Harrison Jr. Getting back into the zone. I see he gained a lot of weight this offseason too, just getting bigger and stronger, trying to be ready to take on some contact.

1:01:52James Harrison:I think that should be solid. Kyle Long, he getting in trouble. Throw the thing up to Marvson Harrison Jr. I think that'll be his success plan. Yeah. I mean, it's better than not having him. Oh, man. What about my man, Travis Hunter? where Travis do, baby. I seen a couple plays of it. I was watching Red Zone going back and forth. I was in overload on it. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out, though, with him playing. The Jags beat him. The Jags beat the Panthers 26 to 10. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. Travis Hunter played 39 snaps, caught six passes for 33 yards. He played just six snaps on defense, though. Yeah.

1:02:39James Harrison:Yeah. I didn't get that. If you haven't played 44 snaps, I mean, maybe it's just the first game of the season. But, I mean, he got to play. I think they might just be warming him up to it, but you got to play more snaps. You got to be on the field. Well, it's the first game of the season. Like I said, you got to give him a chance. And that's something else. You know, you got some guys going out with injuries and all that. You got guys that, you know, they haven't really played snaps like that. And now you tell them to go out here and give me, you know, 50, 60 plays at 100 miles an hour. you're losing you know you're losing water you you got you're more you know risk for muscle strains and all that other stuff that's that's one of the things why you see a lot of these guys you know going out early with with these soft tissue injuries you know it's a different thing of impact you can't you can't stop that and but the soft tissue injuries that that could be you know that could be slowed up by just being you know in better shape practicing the way that you're going to play and making sure you take care of your body.

1:03:40You know, it's very few people that go game speed now in practice, especially with how they got the rules set. But the Raiders beat the Patriots 20-13. Geno Smith passed with 362 on a touchdown in his debut, dude. He did his thing, man. Brock Bowers had five catches for 103 before leaving the game with a knee injury, though. Okay. Yeah, Myers added eight catches for 97.

1:04:07James Harrison:Mayors. Shout out Geno Smith, man. He been doing it for a minute. He going to make sure. Bombing. Who's the receiver number one for the Vegas Raiders? Because he was going up top, pork chop the whole game. I know you get known bad with names sometimes, but my boy in Vegas Raiders receiver. I saw him. That might be the dude I'm talking about. Who's number one? What's number one's name? Let me check it out. Trey Tucker. That's it. That's not there. There it is. There it is. I like him a lot. He was balling. No vertical threat.
