Deebo & Joe - Part 1: Drew Allar SHINES in Steelers Debut + Browns QB Drama Update

25:41I got feelings. And y 'all keep asking me the same thing. I'm trying to be the best that I can be, and if this has anything to break up the team, If I say something, y 'all are going to make it into something. So I'm trying to just keep it as chill as possible because I got a quarterback competition I'm trying to go and do. I know the media can spend anything I say to make it look, put me and Deshaun versus each other. I understand. I just need to be the best quarterback that I can be to try to win this job. So me getting pissed at you guys is kind of like, leave me alone a little bit. This isn't helping out my situation.

26:12But at the same time, now when I'm coming back, I'm going to apologize because I'm not honestly mad at you guys. this is what it is. You're asking me the same question and I can't dive into an answer because I have nothing for you. I'm working to be the best that I can be. I'm in obviously quarterback competition versus Sean Watson. What else do y 'all want from me? I've told y 'all I'm out here. We're battling. We're fighting. It's just the same answer. You keep asking me the same question and suddenly keep having to give you the same answer. I'm going to tell you how I really feel. It's just I can't tell y 'all what's up.

26:44You know what it is. is just annoying. Y 'all are getting a little annoying. Yeah, look here, man. I don't understand why y 'all media is so counterproductive due to trying to actually build something positive. It's like everything they want to report is drama-based. If it's no drama, they don't want it. I definitely don't think it was necessary for him to apologize. Like you said, you get sick and tired of answering the same question over and over. And this is something that like I think he's going to have to come to the realization of like understanding like he may have to cut cut down the access so like when I got to the point when I was playing bro that I was being asked questions and I had to you know like regularly talk to people and now you know I'm getting interviews every day and I started to get frustrated dude I'm being asked the same question by different people and you know it's over and over again and you know what I was like I just said to the media, I'm like, yo, I'm going to do one day.

27:47And I think it was like, I think it started off like Thursday, ended up going to a Friday or whatever it was. But like for all that local media that want to come in there and ask you those questions, or they come in and they do whatever you got to, you know, your Saturday production meetings and all that stuff, but that's different. You know, you, you go do that anyway. And you know what? I was like, Hey, I'm talking one day and I believe it ended up, well, it ended up being a Friday at the end of it. Okay. And I'm like, I'm talking Friday. And after that, then I'm not, you know, I'm, I'm not talking about that.

28:19No. So I go to my locker on that Friday, like, yo, they be coming. I'm like, all right, you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Let's, you know, let's go ahead and do it. And I mean, if they wanted to, I guess they could have complained about it and said, you know, he, he wasn't available or whatever, you know, every day for, for interview, but I could have made myself available and I would just sit there and I wouldn't answer your question. I can talk about whatever I want to talk about. I just got to make myself available. It don't mean I have to answer that question. So I think what he's going to have to do is just go ahead and be like, yo, you can ask me questions on this day.

28:52This is the day you can ask me questions. And the reason I started making mine Friday is that, you know, I was starting to get fined yesterday. No, I feel you. I'm like, you know what? On Friday, they can't ask me nothing about what happened on Sunday. They can't ask me nothing about what happened on Monday, on Tuesday or Wednesday, because it's going to be old news. So Friday, all you can ask me about is my next opponent and what we're going to do and how that approach is going to be to dealing with them. And all that other stuff is now overuse. So I think that's a situation where he's going to have to, you know, like sit down and be like, you know what?

29:23This is what it's going to be. Hey, Brody, and I'm going to tell you this, Debo, and for real, for real, you want to give the media answers. You're feeling like you want to answer questions, but at the end of the day, you're going to have to just give boring interviews. Don't, like, not that I'm here so I won't get fined, but basically, like, just, oh, yeah, we're preparing. Marshawn. Yeah, we're here preparing for the team. We're preparing for our opponent. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to do the best that I can. Like, you can literally not answer their question. And they won't click on you.

29:53It won't be an entertaining interview at all. But they're going to be like, man, I'm going to stop interviewing this dude because he's not giving me nothing. I'm like this, yeah, because I have nothing to give you. You just want me to say something crazy to where I'm not answering your questions. You're like, yeah, because right now, you're not asking me about the game. You're asking about a whole nother man that I'm in competition with. You're asking about Deshaun Watson. I don't want to talk about that. Like, I'm Shador Sanders trying to become the best player I can. You're asking me about Deshaun.

30:19Oh, you know, he's working hard. Like, the questions, it is an annoying question. So I'm going to give you a boring ass answer to where there's nothing. He's like, all right, bet. Now, I'm like, I'm going to stop asking this man because he's not giving me nothing. But listen, you can say next question the whole time. No, for sure. And don't feel bad about it. Next question. Hey, next question. You can keep going and going. Like, dude, answer what it is that you want to answer. And then when you get down to it, like for me, I'm like, dude, I'm frustrated giving this dude the same answer. I'm like, dude, I just answered this question like three times over the last three days.

30:53And just because your ass just got here, I got to answer. No, listen, what we're going to do is we're going to cut this down. So I just went on ahead and I started stretching during the time that, you know, I was getting ready for practice and all that during the time that they had the media time. And then when they kicked the media out and I went back into the locker room and started getting ready for practice. It's going to come a point in time where he may he may have to do that.

31:17DJ Pickett won't budge on the number five amid Jalen Daniels, LSU. Okay, so I guess Jaden Daniels' attorney has informed LSU that it can no longer use his name, likeness, image, and a cease and desist letter. The issue stems from LSU allowing cornerback DJ Pickett to wear number five, the same jersey number Jaden Daniels wore when he won the Heisman Trophy at LSU. in a statement from Daniel's spokesperson that Daniel's family is deeply disappointed and feels profoundly disrespected by LSU's decision to give Jaden's number to another player. Jaden and his family have every reason to believe that his number would remain a meaningful part of LSU's legacy and would be honored and protected in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the university.

32:10Well, what's up, Debo? How you feel about that, Debo? Yes. Me personally, just looking at it, I don't know what happened. But from reading it, the number was not retired. Yes. You look at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh Steelers got three numbers that's retired. 2002, it was Franco. They retired Franco's number. That's number 32. And then in 2014, they retired Joe Green's number, 75. And then I think it was 1964. It was Ernie Starr. What is it? It was Ernie. I can't pronounce his last name because you know I'm horrible. Anyway, but they also have numbers that they don't put into circulation.

Like, it's not a thing. So it could be a time where possibly, because they aren't fully retired, that number, blah, blah, blah, I'm assuming if the person is worthy of maybe wearing it, that they could possibly ask that player, hey, would you mind if so-and-so, they want to wear the number, but um i don't know if that was happening but that was something that i think could happen because the number is not officially retired but if they officially retired this number which they didn't okay then i don't i don't think you got you you got you really got a leg to stand on and when it come down to it when somebody wears your number or the number that you wore and you don't want them to wear it, ego.

37:23Ego and pride, bro. Like, the number's not retired. They keep it in the process. Through that, I think Lane Kiffin is now the coach. Yeah, he is now the coach. Lane Kiffin is now the coach. And the guy, I guess, before that was... I forgot about him. He must have been... He must have said something to Jaden like he was going to do. Like, he might have wanted to retire from him. I can't think... Who was it? Brian Kelly. Yes. Brian Kelly. Okay. So, it was Brian Kelly. That told him and promised him that he could wear number five. That's what he told him in the recruiting process. Okay. Lane Kiffin ends up getting over there.

37:59He tells, he tells Lane, hey, they told me I could wear five. Lane said, okay, cool. They promised he could wear five. He let him wear the number because it's not retired. Yeah. So, I mean, I don't, I don't think you got, I don't think you got a leg to stand on there or should really have a big issue. You know, I'm not saying, you know, that LSU, you know, disrespected the Daniels family by letting Duke use his number. They never said that the number was retired. You want your number to not be used, you got to get them to retire that thing. They usually come with a little bit of paper. You know how they go.

38:35You got to donate a little bit of paper to the university. And ego. The big thing is ego. You know what? Jerry. Jerry Jones. Dallas. Dallas. 88. Dallas 88 has been a thing for what they say 53 years. So since 1973, first person that that wore 73 to 83 was Drew Pearson. That was the original 88 Hall of Famer, first team all pro, all that good stuff, right? After that, Michael Irvin. And then you had Dez Bryant, and now you got cd lamp like it's no ego like like with that number you can't wear my number or however that process goes they like you know what man look here this is the number that goes to the guy that plays at this position and that's our dog and this is who getting it if we feel like he deserves to wear it and when it comes down to it everybody's going to know what your number was if you were that dude in that number on that team.

39:38And right now, 88. For the Dallas Cowboys, who are you thinking of when they say 88? Michael Irvin. Michael Irvin. And that's what it is. Jenny with the CD. Like, and they just, you gonna be a baller to rock that jersey. And Michael Irvin looks at it like a writer passes. Like, hell yeah. Give my number one to rock the jersey. And that's what I was looking at with LSU about like number seven with Patrick Peterson, with Leonard Fournette, with Honey Badger. Like, I don't know about the situation about how they retire in the numbers. It's not retired officially. So it's like, I feel like when you get your jersey retired, it's not for you to retire your jersey.

40:15It's for like you to come in like the team or the school. That's something that they put upon you. Like, no, I'm in the Hall of Fame. No, the team, that's somebody, they put you in that. It just makes me feel a little like, not like, what is it? Just... What is a word I'm looking for? Like, you just feel like entitlement. That's what I'm thinking. It's kind of like a little bit of entitlement. Like Tim Tebow rocked 15 in Florida. He's not going saying like nobody can ever rock 15. People are rocking 15 at Florida because Tebow would be, I'd be like, yo, if anybody retired a number in Florida, 15.

40:53Like Tebow, you did your thing. He's looking at it like, no, Anthony Richardson got the word. The next quarterback, he's probably just looking at his name. And if the Florida Gators were to come and retire Tebow's number, nobody would say nothing. We'd be like, oh, yeah, Tebow, you deserve that. Like, it should have been retired. Like, a long time ago, his jersey could have been retired a year after he played. Retire it. Boom. Tebow, you did everything you needed to do for this university, and you should get your number retired. He hasn't said nothing. He's just chilling because I think if it happens eventually, it's going to happen.

41:22But the entitlement of, like, no, y 'all need to do this for me. I'm like, bro, nobody need to do nothing. Right, bro. You bro right now, bro. waiting and when it happens it's going to happen you're obviously like let let let time go but i just feel like when people start feeling entitled to things i just nah i need to be in there i'm like just just it's obviously you do you you have the right to feel the way you want to do but now you're like nah nobody can't wear my there i'm like this like if they did not say they're retiring and nobody else would wear you have nothing to stand on it's just your ego and that's it.

41:57That's what's talking. Like, you're worried about what somebody's number, somebody is wearing in college that they never said that they were going to retire for you or however that process is. They're saying it's not retired, so they obviously didn't retire the number. No matter what they said, it ain't. It's still there. Like, you're over here in Washington, bro. Why are you worried about that? Like, you need to be worrying about what you're going to do to stay healthy over here in Washington so you can stay on the field, bro. You over here worried about, you got your lawyer sitting and all this other stuff, but man, stop it.

42:30When I was looking at my man, when I heard Leonard Fournette, he spoke on it like, yo, Jaden Daniels, you're not bigger. You're not bigger than the university. More people are always going to come in and it's going to be what it is. So let them bless you. You've done amazing and abundant for this school. So they're going to come back and get you right. You know what I'm saying? But LSU is going to move on regardless. LSU is going to beat LSU. There was a Joe Burrow. There was a Jaden Daniels, there's going to be another five-star first-round pick quarterback that hopefully comes here that's going to ball out and maybe break your records.

43:01You know what I'm saying? So, LSU ain't going nowhere. So, just let it be cool because we know what you did here. We're going to respect it. But coming at him. I think that may come with the fear of somebody else wearing it and you being forgotten. See, when you're saying that, Debo, I can't even understand that because it's like, what? You did what you did. You had that Heisman. You are Jaden Daniels. Like, that is what it is. Nobody can ever take that away from you. What if a dude come behind him, come in, get that five and win two Heisman and go as the first pick? They going to still remember me?

43:36I'll tell you this now. Now, though, they going to stop. They ain't got that. They ain't going to use that. They can't use that name. Pride and ego, brother. Right. Yeah, we don't need it no more. Cool. Like, come on, man. Stop that. Listen, J.J. McCarthy, he said he wants to stay with the Vikings after losing the starting quarterback job. As expected, Kyler Murray has been named QB1 over J.J. McCarthy. Here's J.J. McCarthy on the decision. We got the sound, the clip. Listen to it, brother. Look, you know, decision was made that was out of my control. And obviously, every competitor wants to play.

44:17But moving forward, it's just about continuing to work hard and just staying ready for when my numbers call. What were your initial thoughts when you found out the decision had been made? Obviously disappointed. You know, I'm a competitor. But at the end of the day, you know, it's in the past and I'm moving on to the next practice, the next rep, the same mindset I had going into it and focusing on the Giants this week. There's so many things out of our control, like the heat today. and you know it's just really having the discernment to figure out which of the two and you know that was one of the things outside of my control and me attacking and optimizing every opportunity which was in my control and that's all I was focused on.

45:00Joe, my man said it was out of his control. Would you say that is an accurate statement? For who they picked As a starting quarterback It was out of his control Him putting up his best foot forward Nah Joe It's not out of his control Stop it It was all his control He had to outplay Kyler Murray Yes To win the job And basically He did it So I feel you Debo You can't say It's out of your control And then You talking about You gotta have the discernment it still ain't there. Your play dictates if you go in there and you're the starting quarterback, obviously, your play through the course of the last whatever time they've been in preseason hasn't dictated that.

45:55And now, you know, he's talking about what is it? He wants to he wants to be there. You know, he said, this is the place I want to be. I love hold up. I love every single person in the building. I love this state. I love the fan base. I'm getting to continue to do whatever the organization needs to do for this team. Well, damn. JJ, where was that energy when Kyler Murray first got there? Come on. it was, I'm over here, he over there, and we are meeting in the middle of the motherfucking room right here, motherfucking now. Like, it wasn't, that wasn't the energy then, bro. Like, it was, hey, he over there, I'm over here.

46:49This is what it is. I'm good. Do yourself, you know, this is my team, blah, blah, blah. Now, he's another one of your teammates I care and respect. Just like all other teammates in the locker room. Yeah. And you know they got Carson Wentz over there too. So all this right now, he probably thinking they might trade his ass if they can get something for him. I don't even know who would do that after his performance in the last year and then losing your job right now. What do you think? Man, Debo, look, when you say he's out of his control, his play was all in his control. His play, what he did, how he made himself look out there, the passes that he threw on during this offseason.

47:37He's having a legitimate quarterback battle. So this quarterback battle, it reminds me of when Deshaun Watson and Shador, they're having a quarterback battle. But the way that they went about it was the right way. When they're not trying to start no drama, we understand what it is here. We're just trying to put the best foot forward. J.J. McCarthy, he made it into a me versus him. I don't need nothing from Bruce. He's sitting over there. I'm sitting over here. So at the end of the day, you got to put your – now stand on it. When you go out there and your coach says, no, he's going to be the starting quarterback now, that must mean you had your shot, he had his shot, he outperformed you.

48:13So now you're like, this is out of my control. It was completely in your control, but he's trying to – the coach is going to look at the tape and he's going to be able to decide who he likes because you put your best foot forward. Colin Murray put his best foot forward. Did the Vikings get a new coach? Your coach is looking at this and saying, Colin Murray is going to give us the best chance to win. so joe joe did the vikings get a new coach did they get a new head coach this year no they didn't so they drafted him yeah they drafted you okay and now you're not the starter do you think he wants to make himself look bad in the draft process and it's out of your control hell no i know a lot of coaches that will fight and stumble and kill themselves to keep they ones and twos in a position to make it look like they made the right choice.

49:02He ain't doing that. He ain't. It was all in your control and you lost control of it. Thinking that you were, I think this might be a point where, you know, everybody thinks they're better than what they are. You're not as bad as they say you are, but you ain't as good as you think you are. Coach McIntyre does that all the time. You know what I'm saying? And I think this is a situation where he needs to realize he's not as good as he thought he was. but he's also not as bad as the negative people say he is. And right now, his discernment needs to come up. At the end of the day, when you have another, when Colin Murray comes over there, Colin Murray was the number one overall pick.

49:40So maybe the situation may not have been what he needed in Arizona. He comes over here to the Vikings with a good offensive coach, a good offensive coordinator that's putting him, giving him knowledge to, oh no, this is where we need to go with the ball. Decision making, like helping him out, improving his skills as a quarterback. And you got J.J. McCarthy in here that thinks that it is what it is. No, when you see Kyler Murray now, oh, no, he can really spin the ball. He just needed a little bit better coaching. He's actually better than you. You know what I'm saying? So just the cockiness of thinking, oh, no, no, you see a real one coming in here.

50:10What's my man? Jetta sees it. Jefferson is getting these balls. He's like, oh, my goodness. Like, I don't. Okay, J.J., you was here last year. That was. But this dude can really throw the ball. Now we got a coordinator and a coach that's putting him in a position like not making him have to freestyle. Like just running around like a chicken with his head off. Because the man can run. He can move and he can throw. He has a strong arm. So Colin Murray has all the attributes. He may be short for sure, but I don't give up. I don't care. He's fast. He's down to 4 '3". Right. You don't coordinate. JJ, at the beginning, I don't need nothing from it.

50:44I don't need no veteran leadership and none of that. You know, I'm here. He's number one overall pick. He's been in the league longer than you. He got a little bit more knowledge. I would hope so. And you talking about you don't, especially after what you churned in last year? Bro, stop playing. Some people use ChatGPT to answer questions. Others use it to get real work done.
