00:00Door number one is his tanking. Door number two is he sucks. So you pick door number two. He sucks.
00:05You don't want to compare him to Tomlin. Let's compare him to the rest of the league. They have two wins.
00:10Guess what? You are what your record is. They had games they could have won this year. Bottom line is, bad teams
00:16find ways to lose these games. Who were their last three losses to, by the way? They lost to the Steelers.
00:21Okay. They lost to the Bengals. The quarterback who won a Super Bowl. Okay. Oh, wait a second. Now Russell Wilson just won a Super Bowl.
00:27He was horrible in Denver, which, by the way, with Nate Hackett as the head coach.
00:30I hate to say it, but that's the truth. I love Nate Hackett. Forget Nate Hackett.
00:34Okay, but he was his head coach. Keep my friend's name out your mouth right now, because he's not anything right now.
00:38But he was Russell Wilson's head coach when he sunk in Denver. But you're giving me that he won a Super Bowl, and he sunk in Denver.
00:43Yes, but he's coached well right now.
00:47He's coached unbelievably well. That's my point. Arthur Smith was a terrible head coach.
00:53A garbage head coach. He couldn't get over seven wins.
00:56He was garbage. But his ideas were actually quite intelligent. And when I went and had, I'd called four or five of his games.
01:02I'm like, dude, you just got to get the right quarterback to execute what you're doing, and you might have a chance.
01:07And guess what? Russell Wilson can do that. If you let Russell Wilson try to be Peyton Manning, he's going to fail.
01:14Nate Hackett, for whatever reason, let Russell Wilson try to be Peyton Manning.
01:19Sean Peyton, for whatever reason, let Russell Wilson try to be Peyton Manning.
01:23But Mike Tomlin, who stands on 15 years of winning, said, Russ, you're going to do what the hell I tell you to do.
01:29Otherwise, you're not going to be a quarterback in the National Football League.
01:32So what the hell is Russ doing? 20 of 28. Eight-yard throws. Maybe a couple of shots downfield.
01:37He's playing like he did when he won a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks.
01:41So get the coaching stuff out of your mouth, and let you understand what you're talking about.
01:44And I love Malik Nabors. Why is he dropping passes every single week? Because he's a rookie.
01:49Do you need anything else? He's a rookie.
01:52I mean, he's dropping a lot of key passes.
01:54I hate rookies. There's been one rookie in the history of my playing career that I loved.
01:58Jeremy Shockey. Because he got it. He was a dog from jump.
02:01Rookies suck. Because they don't get it.
02:04Now, I don't think Malik Nabors is one of these guys that's just happy to be there.
02:08But a lot of guys are just happy to be, hey, I'm here. I'm in the NFL, man. I'm going to be a superstar.
02:13Dude, you don't know the work that it takes to be a superstar. You can't quit on plays, Deontay Banks.
02:17You can't drop passes, Malik Nabors. You've got to run routes.
02:19The first game of the season, go back and listen to it. Find it on the Odyssey app.
02:23I got on Malik Nabors because he was lazy running his routes.
02:26And Daniel Jones is waiting for him to come out of his break, and he's not even at the break point yet.
02:30Rookies are lazy and stupid because they don't understand what it takes to be a professional.
02:35I've called Anthony Richardson too many times to even think about.
02:38He got benched today. You know why? Because he's immature and doesn't know how to be a pro.
02:43Rookies are dumb. They don't understand. Some of them get it, but a lot of them don't.
02:48So don't sit here and talk to me about coaching because players are the ones that ultimately have to do it.
02:53And if a coach can't motivate a guy over time, then you know what?
02:56The coach has to take accountability for that.
02:58But with the New York Giants, Dave coaches these guys hard.
03:02They're not executing. I can show it to you on tape.
03:07I did it all last year with Zach Wilson, why he was failing.
03:11It wasn't because Nate Hackett was calling bad plays, it was because Zach Wilson couldn't determine what to do.
03:17Daniel Jones sits and waits. Torrey Aikman said it on the broadcast last night.
03:21Daniel Jones has got to see it before he throws it.
03:23He gets Darius Slayton destroyed on the sideline because he waits.
03:27Is that cover two? Of course it's cover two. The safeties are splitting.
03:30What the hell do you think they're doing?
03:31And he waits and throws that ball so late, Darius Slayton gets hit, and Troy calls him out.
03:36This is not coaching to me. It is execution of guys who don't know what they're doing. Period.
