5:04Le'Veon Bell:I appreciate y 'all having me real talk. Hey, look here, man. It was some jibba-jabba going back and forth. One of them power boys was popping off at the mouth. You said, hey, I'm here. It looked like an initial, duck, get out the way, don't let him get to me. But then he made like he was coming back. I really think what happened is he realized as soon as he said that, you know what? This dude can actually fight. You know, he got some power and he around my same size. and ain't going to be some little dude that I'm fighting. You know what I'm saying? And it's going to be pretty embarrassing. You're at my age.
5:36Le'Veon Bell:He ain't too old. So, I mean, that's what I think. Why do you think he initially was ducking you, bro?
5:44Joe Haden:Man, he initially ducked? I knew. Let me tell you how I knew he was going to duck. Let me tell you how I originally knew. I originally knew right away when he was naming in the interview, right? He was naming all the NFL. Man, I'll knock out. I'll fight Tom Brady. I'll fight Bronkowski. I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll So he's He's saying all this stuff But I'm like I'll bet But he named all these players And Logan knows I fight Like we done fought on We both fought on Misfits promotion before Like he knows That I fight But he made sure Le 'Veon Bell's name wasn't said He was making sure Yeah name all these other guys Boom boom boom I'm like no You wanna fight NFL players Logan?
6:27Joe Haden:No You know I'm the one who got training I'm the one who actually do this what's up let's do it in Pittsburgh that's where Le 'Veon Belgo he made the name let's do it in Pittsburgh because it's the first NFL draft in like I don't know like 50-60 years perfect time and all these NFL players gonna be there that you swear that you're just so much tougher than bro come knock out somebody or come beat somebody who actually do this in front of all NFL people he's like okay first he'll say no like nah bro Le 'Veon, bro, you ain't no draw. Plus, you can actually fight. It's like, hold up.
7:04James Harrison:No, no, no. He ain't say you can actually fight. No, no, no. No, no, no. That's what he said the first one. That's what I saw. He said, no, you can fight. And I was like this. Oh, you don't want to fight somebody that really got hands? He's like, you're not in the hell. That's what it was. He's like, Tom Brady not in the league. Fight Le 'Veon.
7:21Joe Haden:Tom Brady not in the league. Gronk not in the league. AB not in the league. Y 'all naming all these dudes who not in the league. So now you try to move the goalposts the first time. to say I won in the league or whatever. But Eric, I love that the internet... They don't let them slide past him. No, at all. Like, hold on, bro. You were just talking about Tom Brady, though. Like, why are you talking about fighting Tom Brady in the league? But he wanted to fight somebody. He wanted to fight somebody who not necessarily trained in that. Yes. And don't get me wrong. I feel like if football players come over to boxing and train, I think football players are the best athletes in the world.
7:56Joe Haden:You know what I'm saying? So I think the transition football players would be a lot easier to box but let's be realistic it would definitely need training and and a lot of practice in the gym bro because boxing is completely different cardio wise cardio vacuum wise like yes so miles geary or somebody that come in there first time they're gonna gas out in the first minute two minutes bro you know i'm saying versus somebody who actually know how to throw a punch somebody who actually knows how to defend herself without exerting too much energy you know and logan knows that so he's trying to finagle a big name in a football but then beat him up like just beat up a football player like how jake do jake want to beat up mike tyson mike tyson old as hell a lot of people like man this fight was rigged bro it's not rigged it's only rigged in the fact that mike tyson is 60 years old bro so what can y 'all expect mike tyson to do that's what i'm at 60 imagine bro imagine racing bro if i race usain bolt if i got my son i race Usain Bolt, when he's 60, whoa, oh yeah, I beat the fastest man in the world, though, yeah, bro.
8:58Joe Haden:Usain Bolt's 60, though, but I beat him in a race. Like, bro, come on, man. Let's be real. Let's be real. So you sitting there saying, hey, Logan, like, man, I'm an athlete. It's that dirt. Well, get in the ring with an athlete then. Get in the ring with an athlete that actually does this. You know what I'm saying? Don't try to call out somebody who don't do it. I feel like, and then he said, bro, y 'all know what the word throttle means? Because I had to, like, look it up. I literally had to do it. Y 'all know what throttle means bro he's still full of shit he said he will basically choke out miles garrett but i would literally pay for that shit hold up like you go to the room with miles garrett i guarantee you're not fucking choking him out i don't give a fuck but he trying to change it listen to the interview he's actually like oh boxy match boxy match he's trying to change it like no you said throttle you would throttle miles garrett bro you know what miles garrett would do with you in the room y 'all try to wrestle with she will fuck you up bro but then he's trying to change it he's trying to change it to a boxy match so soon he changed to a boxing match no no i'm not letting that slide okay if you want a box then box me right box so this is what i want to
9:56Le'Veon Bell:know it was said that at some point that y 'all was actually talking was there talks going on that it was an actual chance that it was gonna be a fight until he you know he had his boss call and be like hey get me out of this so i'll get my ass whooped so we're doing the back and forth
10:10Joe Haden:on the internet like people kind of see in the back and forth but he sends the dm he sends the DM like, send me the email for the contract. Bro, the moment I see the DM, it was like an hour later. The moment I see the DM, send him my email. I'm like, oh yeah, send it. Boom. No response. Once he sent it, no response. I was going to give him 24 hours before I start calling it out again. I'm going to give him 24 hours. Like, bro, I ain't got no contract. If it's 24 hours, I ain't got no contract. But I was like, you know what? It's a weekend. It's Sunday. I'm going to give him to Monday. Give him to Monday.
10:42Joe Haden:Before Monday comes, Oh, now he got a mysterious phone call. First of all, you never drew up the contract either. Y 'all know when he got the phone call from the WWE, Chris, whoever Chris is from WWE, right? He got the phone call. He like, man, I can't fight. He's like, man, I had the fight drawn up. He's like showing the camera, but he don't show the camera. He's like, so he had a contract drawn up, but he never shows it. I'm like, bro, you ain't had no fucking contract drawn up.

11:13Joe Haden:So he has somebody call in. Hey, look, no matter what, tell me nothing. No matter what, I can't do it.
11:17Le'Veon Bell:I can't have him. I can't go over there and have this man put his hands on me. I just can't.

22:41Le'Veon Bell:That was from my guy, that was from my guy, Will Gay, to be honest with you, man. That was for Gay. Because he stepped on Gay Chess. Man, AP did something vicious to Will Gay over there, man. He stepped on that man's chest, man. Did the gorilla yell on him. Got up and do it. I was so mad, God. I ain't know what to do. So we get back into Monday. We watching the film, and we got a trophy sitting in the trophy room, man. And there's a dude getting ran over, and he getting his foot put on the chest and all that.

I fight the dude J.O. Mex. I beat him, like, convincingly, like, bad. Like, J.O.
23:50Joe Haden:Mex barely survived. I'm supposed to fight Logan next. Logan see that fight, he instantly, like, ducks. But at this time, I'm not really calling him out on crazy, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know what I'm saying? So he been running for about three years now. That's what I heard. Bro, when he was saying, when he was talking about all the names fighting football players, he was trying his hardest not to say Le 'Veon Bell. They said Antonio Brown, that nigga instantly start saying somebody instantly, because they started to get close. Like that name.
24:19Le'Veon Bell:They started to get close to the Steelers. Don't say the B's now. Get away from that black and gold.
24:25Joe Haden:Getting close to the B's. Bro, Logan Paul was like, bro, just don't say the word Le 'Veon. Don't say Le 'Veon Bell. Anybody but them words. As soon as people start saying Le 'Veon Bell, then he start acting like he entertaining it. Oh, yeah. You send over. bro he thought I was gonna say no to the 10 ounce head 10 ounce gloves and no head gear he thought I was gonna say no to that because we sparring bro cool if you want to do that yeah I'm not gonna be getting hit you're the one gonna be getting hit like yeah so he thought I was gonna say no to that but he don't understand bro I'm so confident in my ability and in this boxing shit and plus more athletically speaking bro I done played with the best athletes in the fucking world bro so like quickness wise or reaction wise bro I'm telling you I'm getting here with all these boxers and shit bro it's not even close bro like because football it's like bro D-Bug me and you we mean right here we gonna keep pulling it till somebody stop like till somebody stop but like everybody's mindset not like that in boxing somebody get punched ooh shit he hit like that god dang he hit hard enough you know you got you know how you got check his gloves check his gloves he ain't got no padding in there check his gloves the same the same way with football y 'all know y 'all be seeing people be like oh yeah he ain't really on that he turn this shit down it's the same with boxing bro it's the same it's just like once you get the skill up you start seeing like oh yeah why he's just doing his body he didn't like that he running he running the whole time you know what I'm saying and that comes with experience and just being in there you know what I'm saying Logan knows that literally he knows that so he'll he'll like call somebody out who don't really have the understanding that Like, it's so much more than physicality in boxing.
26:06Joe Haden:You know what I mean? Let me ask you a question before we get you out.
26:10Le'Veon Bell:I know you got a time limit on you. Hey, so Clarissa Shields said that she could, she said she could be a perfect person I wanted to ask. Thank you, Devo. So with that being said, before I show a video, I'm going to prefix it with what she said, I guess, on Nightcap, that he didn't have any padding in his gloves. But this is a guy that Romeo, he whooped on and she got put down. Show the video. We got the video? Please. Yeah, I know what clip y 'all talking about. You play it real quick.
26:44Joe Haden:We can talk through it. Let me see it.
26:49Joe Haden:Ooh.
26:50James Harrison:Y 'all playing it? Yeah, man. Put it in. See? Ooh.
26:55Joe Haden:Did you see that, Le 'Veon? So, look. I love Carissa. Me? I legitimately think she's the best female fighter. No question. Right? Yes. But she tripping. She tripping. Bro, Roley, I understand. I know what she's saying. Everything she says. The reason why I love her is because she really believes it. That's what I'm saying. She really believes it. And it's like, I see what she said. It makes sense in her head. It makes sense. But I don't think she's not. She's trying to realize, like, bro, when he hits you, that shit going to feel different than when any other woman hits you. like that shit gonna feel different with no head girl in an actual fight that shit gonna feel different you know i'm saying and i'm i love for us to show so you know she might see this and she might think i'm talking about but i'm not at all like i feel like she's one of the greatest fighters in our generation female fighters for sure but yeah especially roley like roley bro he unorthodox but he's like that like roley like that bro i done i done i looked at some of his stuff i'm like he
27:54Le'Veon Bell:He putting cats down left, right, left, right. I'm like...
27:57Joe Haden:Bro, Rolly can fucking punch, bro. Like, people get confused because he went against Tank, and Tank is just next level. Tank is level. Right. Yes. Like, Tank is just next level. So, Tank is like, okay, I'm going to take advantage of your aggressiveness. I'm going to step back. Let you run in. Uppercut. I'm out of here. He ran right into the ropes. You know what I'm saying? I don't know if, of course, the Shields got that reaction. Boom. I'm going to knock him out. Because Rolly, if you don't knock him out, Rolly will knock him out. Yes. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming the entire time.
28:28Joe Haden:You got to knock him out. Did you see the girl?
28:30James Harrison:Did you see the girl she just fought? Le 'Veon. The big girl. And they was in there throwing punches. So I'm respecting this shield too. I think she's the best female fighter out there. But I'm like, when that other girl is giving her them punches and she's eating them, I'm like, how many of them big boy joints are you going to eat? Yes. You ain't getting out of the way of nothing. I don't know. I don't know.
28:51Joe Haden:She's not eating those.
28:53James Harrison:She's not eating those. And that's what I'm saying. It's just a different strength.
28:56Joe Haden:It's like, that's just why you don't. Yeah, she's not really understanding because she's just thinking like female fighting. Okay, I fight at 185. If I'm fighting a girl, if I'm fighting a girl at 147, what I would do to her? She's not realizing, bro. Bro, Roley has a different, he's a man. He has a different energy. I'm talking just actual, like, biological. He's a professional. I'm talking about, bro. Debo. It's density of bones. Jab to the body. Bro, you know how if I punch you to your fucking stomach, how that's going to hurt her, bro? If we only punch her to the stomach, not even knocking her out, just punch her to the stomach.
29:32Joe Haden:You know how hard that's going to do? Bro, she's going to do that and not want to fight no more. Like, she's not going to... You ever got the... Win of her? Yes. That's what it feels like. This is like, but you still got to sit there and fight. Like, bro, she's not about to keep taking that.
29:47Le'Veon Bell:Nope. No, bro.
29:48Joe Haden:But I love Perse the Shields, though. I think she's the... Oh, no question. I agree. Best female fighter.
29:52Le'Veon Bell:When you start, you know, trying to go into, like, fighting the group. But no, no. Roley is like that, too. Like, and doing it at a high level. That's, I don't think that's smart, man. Mm-hmm.
30:01Joe Haden:She said Roley is unorthodox. He is. But he's still like that. He's still like that. Yeah. He's just unorthodox. He's unorthodox. You know what I'm saying? But he's still, bro. Roley got skilled, bro. People say he don't got skilled. Yes, he does. Yes, he does. He's just not as skilled as Gervonta. It's still levels. Don't get me wrong. Gervonta, you know, he's like football. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? You got corners, first team ball pro. You got Joe. You got James Harrison, LVPs. You know what I'm saying? But you got people who are still in the field, but I'm just maybe not that level.
30:33Joe Haden:But you're still in the field. You're still in the league. You still in the field.
30:37Le'Veon Bell:That's what I be telling people. Like the same thing when they be talking about basketball. Oh, man, he trashed. I said, man, you couldn't do nothing with that dude. If I had him at the rack. Dude sitting on the bench, no time. You couldn't do nothing with him. The dude that ain't dressed on the field for us, that's sitting there undressed, you couldn't do nothing with him. No. You want no smoke. I would, bro.
30:56Joe Haden:At all. Because, look, Logan Paul talking about some man, yeah, I don't throttle. I don't knock out any fighter. But imagine him trying to run a route on Joe. Wow. I would bet, like, by the dollar, he doesn't catch one ball. Yes. Like, you won't catch one ball. That's why it's like we just athletes just, like, differ. It's like, okay, if you don't really know how to run a route, Logan, you're not gonna fucking catch a fucking path with Joe Hayden. It's the same with boxing. It's like, bro, he's in a try car and fighting. I'm like, no, bro. Fight somebody like a train. Yeah, shit weird. For sure, man.
31:25Joe Haden:But both of them be doing weird stuff like that. They make it, that's why the Jake Paul and Tyson, Mike Tyson, everybody was saying it's rigged. It's not rigged in the fact that Mike Tyson let him win. I think Mike Tyson really in there trying. He just old. He old. So it's hard to fight. I knew I wasn't tripping. I knew I wasn't tripping. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He's trying.
31:44Le'Veon Bell:He's trying. He's trying. I feel like Mike let him live a little bit, man. His old? He was old. That fatigue.
31:53James Harrison:But listen, I'm telling you. Fatigue make chumps out of everybody. I'm telling everybody. As soon as you get tired and you can't lift up your arms, you look weak.
32:04Joe Haden:People don't felt it. People ain't felt it. You ain't in there and felt it before, you ain't going to know. But Mike Tyson, bro, I'm like, he's trying, bro. I promise you he is trying. The nigga just 60. He thinks he's 21. He thinks he's still going there and do that shit. Oh, yeah, I'm going to fight Jake Palmer going to knock him out. But realistically, bro, them knees and that explosion Mike had, what made him special, he ain't got that no more.
32:25James Harrison:He going to give you them 30 seconds, that little 15-second clip on TikTok where he come in that joint. Hey, that's what I was looking at, bro. Then he's glow. He's done. That's all he got. That's all he got. Y 'all better. There's no more camera. That man Mike, he did it for 15 seconds. And now he's like this. He's getting H2O. He's getting fucking oxygen. I forgot all about those. I forgot all about those. Yeah. Yeah. Bro, I wish I was there. I'm like this. Oh, shit. Everybody like, oh, you see Mike moving all fast? I'm like, yeah, he got 10 more seconds. It's so crap. Literally.
33:02Joe Haden:I wish I was. Bro, I wish I was there when they were doing the little cut-ups, bro. Bro. Because I want to know how much time he took to rest before he came back, bro. Bro, that shit got me. That's all he had. That's all he had. He was exhausted.
33:14Le'Veon Bell:Lay me on. Bro, man. You can't. Damn, man. Y 'all killing me, man.
33:23Joe Haden:Mike Tyson was really in that bitch I'm like bro that nigga for sure I was watching the clip saying the same shit bro nigga went out there round one was out there for a minute man nigga get tired let me tell you Jake ain't as good as everybody think he is cause Jake was after the fight he getting the interview he like yeah I see Mike Tyson who he wasn't who he was you know so I was just trying to let him off easy no he wasn't he was trying to knock Mike out You think so? Bro, go watch the... I thought you let him live a little bit. I thought he let him... No! No! No? You know what? I'm going to pull up with y 'all.
33:56Joe Haden:We're going to watch it together. I'm going to show you. Bro, he was trying to sleep, Mike. He was trying to sleep, Mike, bro. Okay, okay. Yes! I need to watch it again. It's just Jake ain't as good as everybody thinks. He should have stopped Mike. Mike is 60. He should not be in there and be out of the last eight rounds with you. But he wasn't good enough to stop Mike. That's all it was. He wasn't good enough to stop him. But he was trying. Bro, why is Jake trying to, bro, Mike Tyson 60. No, no, no. Mike Tyson was, he was ducking some shit. Jacob told him. Hey, listen. I saw you something.
34:27Le'Veon Bell:I was like, oh, Lord.
34:30Joe Haden:I saw you. Okay. I see you welling up on that shit. I'm at least aware of that. Like, God damn. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. But, like, no, Jake was trying to sleep, Mike, bro. That guy lost in the wash. Like, oh, man. Like, Jake was trying to let him eat. No, no, no, no. No, Jake was fucking trying to sleep, Mike. everybody got Netflix go back and watch it I'm gonna go back and watch it I'm gonna go back and watch it yeah shit bro
34:53Le'Veon Bell:hey let me ask you real quick before we get you out of here I know you gotta you gotta hit the gym what do you think of the McCarthy hired for the Steelers
35:06hello
35:08Le'Veon Bell:that boy wifi went out did wifi go out no bro
35:13Joe Haden:let me be honest he said what hello alright bro it is what it is bro I ain't gonna say I'm not gonna say I'm ecstatic about it but it's like it's cool it's cool it's like it's cool
35:30Le'Veon Bell:hey listen I give you how I felt I give you how I felt I'm good with it now I'm on it I'm on it now because I believe that he you fuck with it I'm good with it now because I believe that he's there because he truly cares he understands what it is to be a stealer, a true stealer. Like, what it is, what that legacy is, what it is all about. It's about Lombardi's. It's about winning championships. And that's the first thing that he was talking about. And I ain't gonna lie to you, bro. Like, when he first started crying, I texted Joe. I said, man, I said, does this nigga cry? What the fuck? You know what I'm saying?
36:06Le'Veon Bell:Like, Divo. Hey, how about me? He was from the city. Look, let me on laughing. Dude, he got a passion. And what I'm seeing right now, especially with Omar being able to Omar, the cook, him, like he should be able to GM. You see what he's doing. This has been the most active free agency that you have seen ever since this since 2000, whatever, since the Steelers have started. And that is a big part of Omar and his vision and what he sees and how he approaches. normally we go and we we we keep the guys that we have and we sign them under contract but we can't do it because we done missed over the last 10 years on our first and second rounders and we've only been able to keep two with that being the case he done got a position he's now able it's a collective that they use where you can now go and say you know what we got this we got that let's get this let's get that and right now dude i'm loving what he is doing i'm telling people i've been telling people give this man three years and judge him from this point forward and i promise you you're going to see omar khan gm the way that i knew he could from the very beginning
37:24Joe Haden:i don't think omar is definitely the problem and to be honest bro i didn't think tommen was the problem but i feel like them switching look this culture change maybe it's needed maybe it's not i just feel like if you're going from tomlin to mike mccarthy is them their tomato tomatoes like
37:43Le'Veon Bell:kind of the same shit i would understand that as far as the coach goes but this is the thing you don't understand as far as the inside i've been said the same thing the shift of power that tomlin had was enormous in his last 10 to 12 years.
38:00Joe Haden:What do you mean by that?
38:01Le'Veon Bell:As far as who you drafted, where you drafted them, who you kept, who you let go. Okay. So,
38:12Joe Haden:in the last 12 years, what's that got to do with Tomlin and Mike McCarthy? The coach is the same.
38:19Le'Veon Bell:True statement. But now you're allowing your GM to GM to get players that everybody as collective feels can do it and not a single person saying, yeah, I know they're saying he a three, but I think he's a one, so let's get him.
38:39Le'Veon Bell:Hold on, so who are you saying will do that, Tomlin? We're saying Tomlin had the last call on what it was that he wanted to do as far as draft.
38:46Joe Haden:So he had the last final thing? Oh, yes. He could overrule.
38:50Le'Veon Bell:I mean, you could have to ruin whatever. He was final word. I know for sure all you got to do is look at anywhere from about, I would say it started to switch around that 14 to 16 range. And from there, it was just bloom. Look, I will say the culture change was needed.
39:15Joe Haden:I do. The Mike McCarthy one, you kind of talking me into it a little bit. I'm starting to see a different side of it. originally i didn't like it now look at the coaches he brought in look at the coaches mccarthy has brought in i'm interested to see how it goes you know i'm saying i just don't want we go out here and then we go nine and eight and then it's like okay what the fuck i believe this i believe that i believe that we're going to have a subpar year if we don't if things don't pan out
39:49Le'Veon Bell:at the quarterback position. Once we're able to correct that, we can't correct that right now.
39:54Joe Haden:We can't. I don't think Tom, I don't think it was necessarily talking with the quarterback. I think we need a quarterback, a solidified quarterback. And I think once we got that, I think everything kind of falls into place. But think about it. The person who's touching the ball every single play is the quarterback, bro. If this shit ain't working, like then, of course we're going to look, you know what I'm saying, unorthodox. We look terrible on offense. We got to eat some consistency.
40:14Le'Veon Bell:We also got to be able to stop people on defense. You telling me that defense all of a sudden couldn't stop nobody? or did they change the dynamics of what that defense was doing? Y 'all both play defense. Y 'all know a little better. Yes, the scheme has changed, brother.
40:27Joe Haden:When I'm on offense, I consist with defense getting tired. So we out there all the time, but I know defensive players is getting tired. You know what I'm saying?
40:35Le'Veon Bell:Tell him how these corners was doing, man. Week in and week out, the basics. They weren't being taught the basics, bro. But is that – It has to be taught because everybody's doing it.
40:47Joe Haden:Yeah, yeah. we need the basics bro stop joe was it like that when you were there i mean no i was a pro bowl
40:54Le'Veon Bell:all time at a hall of fame corner joe knew what to do yeah i don't tell me this were you actually taught anything and developed i mean to a greater extent that you could say yes things are feeling

44:29Le'Veon Bell:They developed me greater than I was. So much greater. Not necessarily develop, though, because Joe was already first team.
44:36Joe Haden:I knew. All pro-pointer, like development. When you was with Tom, did he give you anything to help you?
44:43James Harrison:Coach Tomlin, that's the one thing I tell you. He did for me. I knew when I was going into the games. He didn't really teach me too much or nothing because I'm year eight in the league. I know a lot of shit. But I'm saying the way that we studied tape and the way that he prepared me to go into the game, I knew what they was about to do. Let's repeat how you felt about your position coach then, Joe. The position coach. When I had Coach Scrapp there, well, when I had Cornell Lake, Coach Lake, amazing coach. When Lake got up out of there, he left with his son. Then we had my man Scrapp that came in there.
45:14James Harrison:Not good. I love Coach Lake. Coach Lake, that man. The next coach we had, Scrapp. He got out of there after the year. He wasn't that good. And that's where it was just, we needed our coaching staff to be on the same page. They were kind of just talking a little different languages. You know what I'm saying? It's not a little different language.
45:30Le'Veon Bell:And you know A is A and A should be A no matter if your DB coach is telling you. If your linebacker coach is telling you. If that's what the person you play, that's what it should be. And then when you go in there and you try and change certain parts of a defense, you can't change certain parts of a defense to cover up one weakness because you create two or three other ones. It's the same thing if y 'all do it on offense and say, hey, we're going to pick up this dude with so-and-so, and then they bring something else. You're creating more weaknesses when you've got to say, you know what, if this happens, chalk it up to the defense or the quarterback got to see it and get it out.
46:03Le'Veon Bell:Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a lot of that going on on defense with the switching of new guys. On defense, I don't
46:11Joe Haden:really fully understand the whole schematics on defense. Y 'all understand that way better than me. So I'll just be watching. Why is it open? You know what I'm saying? I feel y 'all. And Coach Tomlin was more defensive minded. Y 'all know way more what's going on. So I can definitely hear y 'all side of it and hearing y 'all saying this, like, yeah, y 'all right. So tell me this.
46:32Le'Veon Bell:If he's defensive minded and all that is happening, what's going on?
46:37Joe Haden:I feel you. I feel you. That's why I like, I agree a culture change was needed. I'm just saying, Mike McCarthy is like, was he the one? Because, you know what I'm saying? That's the only thing. Listen, listen. A head coach, bro,
46:49Le'Veon Bell:is to put people in positions to enforce and teach yours. And that's why when you get as a head coach, you go and you create. You go ahead and you make and you get your staff together. A head coach should be as least hands-on as possible because he's going to get the people he know can do the job so that he don't have to sit there and micromanage. When you want to micromanage, you don't go and create people that go and do what you do. You create people that sit where you're at, and then when the time comes, they move laterally to another spot and never go and make more of you because they don't know what it is you do because all you do is manage them.
47:31Joe Haden:Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get exactly what you're saying. I get exactly what you're saying. I follow that. That's why – look, I'm out against the culture change, bro. We just going – I'm eager to see how it goes. Yes. Because my McCartney is offensive-minded. He's offensive-minded. So it's like the problem with the defense, and we're going to see. Like, I'll get somebody in there defensively. That knows what's going on. And, yeah, I know what's going on. That's where all it is. And, shit, don't it come down? But we need some, like, niggas to step up, though. Yes. Yeah, that's what it is. It's like we need them captains and them leaders over there to step up, too.
48:00Joe Haden:You know what I'm saying? I feel like from the beginning of the season, it was always like, oh, is Cam going to play? Is he not going to play? Is TJ going to play? Is he not? I feel like there's a whole bunch of up and downs. Like, shit, that shit starts from the beginning of the season. Like, but it's starting now. Shit, with OTAs and training camp or mini camp come up, we going to see, bro. I'm excited, though. Like, I'm going to see what Mike McCarthy got, bro. I wasn't opposed or I wasn't for it at first, but now I'm not opposed hearing y 'all out. We're going to see how it goes. Okay. I love hearing different perspectives.
48:27Joe Haden:You know what I mean?
48:27James Harrison:We got to give him a little bit of time. You know what I'm saying? And like you said, since he's the head coach, he's the offensive coach.
48:32Le'Veon Bell:We're going to have to get you back on later this year. We got to, Le 'Veon.
48:37Joe Haden:Oh, no. Facts. We got to make it happen.
48:39Le'Veon Bell:Yeah, for sure, man. Hey, man, I'm going to let you get up out of here. I know you got to hit the gym, man. Appreciate you coming on, man. Appreciate you, man. I appreciate y 'all, bro. Ladies and gentlemen, chat.
48:47Joe Haden:Give it up for him. Hey, much love. Hey, y 'all keep doing y 'all thing, bro. Y 'all keep standing, bro. I've been watching y 'all. Y 'all be doing y 'all thing, bro. Appreciate it. I love y 'all's content, bro. Appreciate it, man.
48:57Le'Veon Bell:Thank you for coming on, brother. I'm going to talk. You're going to tap in with you, brother. Much love, bro.
49:00Joe Haden:I'm going to see y 'all. I'm going to go hit this gym, bro. Get prepared. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead.
49:03Le'Veon Bell:Go ahead. Get ready. Get right. Slip up them big beaters for that boy and put them all over his head. A little trip. What's up, a little cardio, too? All right, now. All right, Joe. Joe, man. Yes, sir, brother. I told you you was ducking.
49:21James Harrison:W's in the chat for Le 'Veon Bell, man. That's a good man right there. No question, brother. That's a good man.
49:28Le'Veon Bell:Look here, man. As I said, the Steelers making moves, man. Yes. The GM, Omar Khan, is GMing right now, man. Let that man talk. He's being able to do what it is that they put him in a position to do. And this has been the most active free agency that the Steelers have had in I don't know how long. The history of the Steelers probably since the 70s. Let that man cook. Listen, I didn't even think that we was going to get Michael Pittman Jr., dude. We ended up getting Pittman Jr. after they went on ahead and they said they was going to retain Alec. They gave that man a four-year,$116 million deal.
50:11Le'Veon Bell:And then shortly after, they said, hey, listen, the big thing, Joe, that I said about Pittman is I was like, yo, I like it, but I don't like the number. I said, I don't like the number of the$29 million. I said, he only got one year left on the deal. So if we get him, we got to make sure we don't give up much. And then we got to get him with a deal. And what we do, Joe. 19-9 sounds good. Late. We get him with a late pick, Joe. a late and it's a swap at that Joe. It's a swap at that. And then we signed him to a three year 59. So now the 29 ain't 29 Joe.
50:46James Harrison:No it's not. It's 19 19 something.
50:51Le'Veon Bell:Catch anything around him. I see you Omar. You like that Joe? Joe do you like that? You pair him with DK Joe. Where we at in the AFC North as far as the receiving core? Where we at with that duo Joe? Oh, in the North? In the North were two.
51:09James Harrison:In the North were two. In the North were two, because after Jamar Chase and T. Higgins, obviously, Raven's not messing with us, but they receivers. And, you know, my good old Browns right now, you know, we don't have any two, we have Judy. but right now the Steelers with DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. are looking like the second best in the North. You know, behind Chasen Higgins, but we got now, we got DK. And coming off of last year too, DK being two years ago DK, I would have been feeling a little bit better. He going to be all right? He going to be all right? No, no, no, no. That's what I'm saying.
51:47James Harrison:I believe in DK. I know that he wants to go out and go crazy again. And with the suspension and all that stuff, he's a baller. And that's what he does is go hoop. So if he goes out there and beats the DK Metcalf that I know and love that we signed for the 30 mil a year that we're expecting to get, beautiful. Michael Pittman Jr., I love him because big receiver and he's a non. You don't hear nothing about him. He's quiet. He's not saying nothing. He's work pail. He's boots. He's coming to work every day to grind and get the job done. So when you have him on your team, a solid number two. And I heard about my man, Pat McAfee.
52:26James Harrison:He was pissed that the cost lost him because, you know, he was pissed. Dropping the big F-bombs.
52:35Le'Veon Bell:I didn't want to say the F. I didn't want to say the F.
52:38James Harrison:Yeah, he went hard. Because he's like this. He wanted to give him the respect that people were signing out, dudes on the team, being late to meet, and some dudes just weren't doing. He's like, Pittman, you were never that guy. You're going to be there on time. You're going to work hard, dive through a wall for a catch anytime, no matter what. So we need those dudes. We need those hardworking kind of guys that are going to bring that demeanor to the offensive side of the ball too. So I'm loving that vibe. I'm loving that. Receiver was a position that we needed. We're talking about it. Everybody keeps saying, oh, no, what about the draft?
53:12James Harrison:Are y 'all over? No, no, no. So now we're making moves and doing things that we need to do. So guess what? Thank you. Clap it up for Omar. You know what I'm saying? if we wouldn't have gotten nobody and everybody's looking crazy, no. Hey, we can clap it up.
53:23Le'Veon Bell:We can clap it up for sure. Listen, we got a big body. Come on. He can catch anything around him. He attacks the ball. He is a good route runner. And guess what? He also is a blocker, too. Now, with that being said, we still got the draft. We can still go get a burner, Joe. Still got so much left. Because all them boys was burners, Joe.
53:44James Harrison:Mm-hmm.
53:45Le'Veon Bell:We still got that. Clap it up, Chad. Come on now. Listen, stop playing. He wasn't done. Joe. It's not.
53:55James Harrison:He's not done.
53:56Le'Veon Bell:Joe, he ain't done. He ain't done. Rico. We went on here and said, hey, man, we go get it. We go. I like this one. I was trying to think about this one. I wasn't understanding this one, but I sat back. Rico Dowley or what is it? Dowdle? Rico Dowdle? Yes. So we went and got him, signed a two-year,$12.5 million. Okay. Now, Joe, like I said, I didn't understand it at first. So I'm sitting there, and I'm like, yo, like, why are we signing this? I'm like, okay, we lost Gainwell. So, yeah, we need to pick something up. But I'm like, you know. So I'm looking, and I'm thinking, and you know what? I said, okay.
54:38Le'Veon Bell:I see now he's familiar with McCarthy's offense. He was with him over there in Dallas in 24. Okay. This man got two back-to-back thousand-yard seasons. You know what? I'm like, yo, what does this mean for Jalen Warren, though, Joe? Like, what do you think it means for Jalen Warren? I don't think it mean nothing. I don't think it mean nothing, Joe. This is what I think it means. We need two to tango. Listen, I think it means this. The Steelers are saying, here's my signal. We are going to run the ball. we're getting back to stiller football we're going to pound the ball we got two guys that are down here runners they are very similar in running styles one is almost six foot 220 the other one a little bowling ball about five nine 215 and he getting it to him bro we mike mike mccarthy is saying we're going to dedicate this we're going to run the ball We're going to be dedicated to running the ball.
55:42Le'Veon Bell:He went out and got two of them that do the same. So it ain't going to be much of a difference when you switch them in and out.
55:51James Harrison:Literally. Split between two. Split in between two. Making sure Warren don't get too beat up, Rico don't get too beat up. They're going to be fresh. When they get in there, they're coming off running downhill. I love the way Jalen Warren hits the hole so hard. The same way Rico hits the hole when he was playing for Carolina. So us being able to get him for the$6 million a year. These running backs, my man, Kenneth Walker, he just got like 15 something a year. He got$15 million a year. No disrespect, but us at Rico that's toting that pill hard as he can for six, and that's an$8 million difference.
56:33James Harrison:I'm not saying he's a Kenneth Walker, But I'm saying when you get an established running back that's 2 ,000 yards back-to-back and you know what kind of guy you're getting, downhill, no bull, and you got Jalen Warren, that's just ripe. That's exactly what we need for the team. That energy. You got a blocking receiver. You got a crazy strong running back. I'm loving the moves. They're early. And it's not crazy, Brad. You're not just over and paying these dudes. No, we got Rico. Rico could have had eight. million,$8 million a year. But we went and got up at$6 million. You know what I'm saying? Or Pittman,$29 million.
57:11James Harrison:Nah, let's go get him from the$19 million. Like, what? These are great players at great deals that are coming to the team trying to go win. They're happy that they got their bag. We're happy that we feel like we got over a little bit. Not over, but we didn't have to overpay. And we got balls. Everybody's happy. You happy, I'm happy, we happy. You know, so I'm rocking with it. It's still early, too. There's still the draft to come. We got so many picks. We got so many things to do. We ain't even done yet.
57:42Le'Veon Bell:We ain't even done yet.
57:43James Harrison:That's what I'm saying. Right now, it's early. We just cooking. We just cooking. I'm loving the way Omar's cooking right now. And they're making moves that may not be the most explosive, but they're steals and they're good moves.
57:56Le'Veon Bell:We just picked up the cornerback. What is it? Jamel Dean. Three-year deal. three year deal after he was just in Tampa they made that man take an$8.2 million pay cut last year okay I'm looking at him I'm like man y 'all made him take a pay cut I had to look I said okay maybe because he was a little banged up all that other stuff but bruh this dude is 6 '1 he's fast grease lightning fast Joe 4 '3 Joe 4 '3 he is good man coverage Joe So even if you do maybe possibly get loose from him, you're not about to get away from him. He's 4 '3". Hey, Joe. Nephew! You got your partner over there. You got your running mate.
58:45Le'Veon Bell:Cincinnati! Hey! Hey! We locking it. Don't forget. Don't forget. We got Ramsey still over here, too.
58:54James Harrison:Yeah.
58:56Le'Veon Bell:We locking it. Hey, Joe, listen. Joe Burrow, listen. Let me talk to you. oh see we turning back listen it's still ain't too late we still got open arms over here so bro we still got open arms over here I want you to remember that
59:10James Harrison:okay I'm a hey brother Debo Debo I hope that he knows we're dead serious but I just hope he's throwing it out there he I don't know just Joe Burrow if you really if you can come to the Steelers for sure that would be just the best thing ever Joe Burrow Then it's Super Bowl or bust. If we get Burrow, it's Super Bowl or bust.
59:32Le'Veon Bell:No question. Hey, listen. In the corner, Dean, we just hooked up. Hey, guess what? One touchdown allowed last year. That's it. That's what I'm saying. You know what? We got two corners that only allow one touchdown.
59:44James Harrison:That's what I'm saying. That's straps. That's straps. Put Dean opposite of our man, young Peasy. They still have to figure out a way to get Peasy. Peasy going to get that bag. So we got Peasy. They going to get it, man.
59:58Le'Veon Bell:They're going to get it to him. They got to get it to him, man. We're getting good deals, man. We're getting everybody getting what they want. They're happy with it, man. Listen, man, we're getting good deals. And what was that? The year we gave to Asante Samuel for one year. And on top of that, you know, we got a hokum to a two-year five. So right now, we got every – I mean, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. We got every inside linebacker that we had in 2025 still under contract right now that we had from last year. So, I mean, and I think right now we can address, again, like you said, we got the draft.
1:00:34We can address that inside backer that could do both.
1:00:39Le'Veon Bell:Hit the run and give me pass coverage too.
1:00:43James Harrison:Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, Joe. We're going to hit that backer. We're going to hit that line. Backer, O-line. Backer, O-line, receiver. Even though we still got a receiver, but backer, O-line, receiver. get that get that we got 12
1:01:01Le'Veon Bell:12 Joe we got 12
1:01:03James Harrison:we can package man come on man package them up man make them something good make them something great go get who you need just don't get 12 Randos but
1:01:13Le'Veon Bell:but one of those was the I don't know if it was 214 or 216 one of those was the swap that we ended up doing with the Colts for Pittman we got a swap so we still got 12 I think we might have swap down to like a 224 or something like that. But right there, it ain't. You know what I'm saying? What are we talking about? It's still good.
1:01:33James Harrison:It's still good. Bruh. They did their thing right there. I ain't gonna lie. The defense is coming apart. It's coming along. We got the one for four. Sante, you know what I'm saying, chilling. And then we got another outside. I don't know if Sante plays slot, but if we got those three corners right there, Dean, Feezy. Don't forget now. he can
1:01:56Le'Veon Bell:he can
1:01:57James Harrison:Ramsey he go safety or Ramsey doing Ramsey's doing everything Ramsey's Swiss Army knife Ramsey's nickel Ramsey's corner Ramsey's safety Ramsey's whatever you need him to be what kind of gang signs you throw it up
