Did you see anything in the game tonight that tells you, hey, one strategy better than the other?

Well, obviously, everybody's going to say the Rams are flat and, you know, they had the wrong strategy.

I thought they had the right one going, to be honest with you.

I really did.

Because it's like, you know, I saw what the Niners were doing, and they got out there.

I don't think they ever adjusted.

I know guys were, like, waking up still at 1 o'clock in the morning.

Who are you more concerned about after seeing them play week one, the Rams or the Patriots?

But what does mental health mean to you? I

think it's, our journeys are all different, right? But the reason why I spoke out about it, first of all, God blessed me with the ability to communicate.

Not so much other things I'm blessed with, but I can communicate.

So I did like, how are we supposed to talk about it if we don't have the words to talk about it? I'm not your teacher.

I'm not your therapist.

I'm not clergy.

I'm just a dude who's fucked up, who's learned how to be good with his fucked upness.

I know you suffer from depression and anxiety, but was there a rock bottom moment?

What's the latest to Coach Shanahan?

Yeah, I was worried about Kyle there for a while.

We were talking – Unfortunately, I've had ample experience with concussions and what little I had of a fight career.

So I was just talking somewhat about when I got knocked out bad in a boxing match like 88.

And the remnants of it lasted for a while.

And I didn't understand it.

I didn't get it.

Do you think something's missing? Like, do you miss those days? Because I do.

And

I think you're going to have a run offensive lineman right now.

It's a run.

The Giants, again, they're going to take.

I know the Dolphins, they were looking at best available, too.

I know they're talking about Caden Proctor, but also guys like Reuben Bain and stuff like that.

But I think when you see other tackles go, I think the Dolphins will probably follow suit there also.

Any more reactions before we move on?

Long time.

But people don't know me because I don't do a mock draft, and I help them know who's going where so they really have an idea of who's going to be where they are.

Or, hey, Jay, when do we have to go to trade up? If we want this guy or, okay, you're telling me we can't get this guy here.

Here's our second, how far back can we trade? Right.

So I'll kind of help with that.

So people do it.

They don't really snow me.

What do you hear? What do you think? Does he come off the board in the first round? Is he going to have to sit and wait? What do you hear in there? Yeah, I think he goes in the first

Long time.

You're in a club

...

but also you have no idea what's about to come across your desk.

So you know how fucked up everybody is in your locker room, okay? For the most part.

Mm, somewhat.

But when you're an assistant coach, you don't know.

And all of a sudden, this stuff comes across your desk.

Yeah.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.

I, I don't think he's there yet here, and, and I haven't talked to him.

Um, I saw him at Unpacked yesterday.

I haven't talked to him for a while.

Um, you know, we trained together last off-season, so I don't know where his mindset is.

I, I do love what he said about Mike, and he's brought...

Like, Mike is, uh, McCarthy is, uh...

You don't get too many blockbusters like this in, uh, early March.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.

I, I don't think he's there yet here.

And, and I haven't talked to him.

You don't get too many blockbusters like this in, uh, early March.

Yeah.

That's my guy! And, and he lied to me the morning of.

And he was like...

And I knew it from Thursday on, and when it happened, and he wouldn't call me back, wouldn't call me back.

And man, I'm, like, stressing over this, and I'm like, "If I don't have it, I don't, I don't know what I'm gonna have."...

so, 10 minutes before he gets on the phone with me, he lies to me.

Mm-hmm.

And Mason's 22, and Mason is trying to find his way.

Right.

Try- he, he's 22 and he's gonna find his way, but my son Sammy, who's been lost a lot, Mike T was there for him.

Yes.

So this is, like, beyond all this stuff.

Mm-hmm.

So, but it's also great, like, I'm known as the gatekeeper of my team.

It's pretty good.

I played with Howie.

Yeah.

So he gets up, and he goes, "Wait a minute.

You're telling me this kid..." And he points at me.

He doesn't look at me, he points at me, and he goes, "This kid has the Spygate video, and you're giving him extra time?" And they go, "Yes, Scott Akers," and like, "He has the video.

He has the actual video.

Yes, this kid has the video." And I'm like, "Oh, my God, this is terrible."

[laughing]

"This is horrible." And then Jimmy looks at me, and he goes, "You really got the video?" I said, "Yeah." And, uh, Bradshaw looks over, and he goes, "You have the actual video?" I said, "Yeah." And he goes, [whistles] "He's okay with me!" [laughing]

Mm-hmm.

But I'm on the third.

I'm talking to America here, but I'm thinking about the third.

I couldn't slow it down.

Couldn't calm it down.

Can't get your mind to relax.

I do now.

Jay

Yes, yes, yes.

So I think the more you do open up, these, these f- I always say these friendships have become brotherhoods.

Like this, see this bracelet right here? This is my most prized possession.

Mm-hmm.

It was given to me by Michael Phelps.

Michael's my dude.

But now when I have a meltdown, I FaceTime him.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, so it got out at, like, 8:52.

I'm like, "Damn!" But that's what...

'Cause, c- listen, the, the business has changed.

Now, what I wanna make sure I do, is I break stuff on Fox NFL Sunday that nobody has ever heard, and you will... "Man, you're coming out of left field with this."

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I can't tweet faster than anybody else, right? So I'm gonna have stuff on that nobody else has.

Like, a couple weeks ago, you know, Matt Ryan's on the CBS show opposite us, and I come on to, "Hey, the Atlanta Falcons are looking to hire Matt Ryan to be their new president of football operations." That came out of left field-

Who?

Jay Glazer.

Chat, can y'all hear me? How do I look? Huh? Can you see me?

...

Mm-hmm.

And, um, but I, I eventually, like, I was like boxing, bouncing, bartending, doing, um...

I was, I was being a bouncer for a crime family, um, at w- what used to be Studio 54.

Yeah.

So he gets up and he goes, "Wait a minute.

You're telling me this kid..." And he points at me.

He goes, "Look at me." He points at me.

And he goes, "This kid has a Spygate video, and you're giving him extra time?" And they go, "Yes." Scott Akers was like, "He has the video.

Do you, uh, think the Patriots are lucky to be here?

No.

I don't think, I don't think anyone's lucky to get here.

Mm, not at all.

Um, I think the moves they made...

Um, I think Dre- Drake, you know, again, with Josh, has made leaps, but...

You know, it's, it's also goes to show you how, um, little some personnel guys know [laughing] because when he came out in the draft, some guys are like, "Ah, he's the third round," you know? And other guys are like, "Yeah, you know," there were some teams like the Giants who were trying to trade up for him, right? Uh, Minnesota was trying to trade up for him.

Jesus!

What's the work you're doing with them?

Yeah, so this is for ADHD.

And look, I got diagnosed with ADHD in 1989, and back then, they gave me stimulants, and, uh, they, um...

I used to have to go tell teachers, like, "Hey, I gotta step away and do this." They kind of looked at me like I was Ferris Bueller, you know? Um, but what people understand, I want people to understand there, for your kids, for any of us who have ADHD, if you're not interested in something, okay, I cannot...

I- it's like I'm drowning, and the only way for me to get a breath of fresh air is to [exhaling] disrupt the class, to have an outburst, is to fidget, to do something, and I got punished every freaking week of my life.

My whole life, I got punished, and you think I wanted to do that? No, we're just not capable.

And then they told me I had a learning disability.

... it's almost impossible to get unlabeled, right?

I text

him right after.

You know what it is? It's not just him.

I text all my friends, most of my friends, after they lose.

Because nobody does.

Oh, wow, that's awesome.

Yeah, because it's really lonely when you lose, whether they're coaches, players, coordinators.

How much do you have to change things, Halfley, and what he comes in? Yeah, they are going to
