So, Jay, there's –

And, by the way, just – I know they're talking about it on the broadcast tonight about, hey, when's Micah coming back? And this isn't a knock on Micah, okay? But it's just – I told you guys this.

But I want everybody in the NFL to look at what Patrick Mahomes did.

When Micah and Patrick got hurt the same weekend, and Patrick was worse.

He tore his ACL as well.

His ACL.

And he said – I'm going to go down and get the surgery immediately before it swells.

Jay, was it earlier today you talked to the Charlotte Touchdown Club and you talked turning mental health into mental wealth? How did that go? Oh,

So, Jay, there's a –

I feel like, Jay, watching the Bears, and look, the game is slowing down for Caleb Williams, but just as you talk about that culture that he has, that belief in the guys and the belief in everybody around him, that's so incredibly contagious.

Yeah, it really is.

And, you know, people kind of like to rag on Caleb Williams.

They've got to stop.

We do delete.

It really is.

And, you know, it kind of bothered me that everybody's getting on him about the – about the injury and what his reaction was.

And, you know, it kind of bothered me that everybody's getting on him about the – about the injury and what his reaction was.

Seems like they closed the book pretty fast.

Right

...

so I'll get into everything else first.

And that's, like there's [chuckles] a ton of injuries over there.

Ton of injuries, as we know.

I think Cam Jurgens is playing out of position.

Um, and then when he moves to guard, the guy who was playing the center was like, "Okay, well, you know, we wanna get the best five out there." So the center, okay, we see a future here.

[laughs]

So Jerry Jones, uh, what do you think the reaction is here, Jay? Anything rash?

Um, no, I don't think there'll be anything rash, but I think it's gonna be, uh, it's not gonna be the greatest place to go walking around in for the next couple days.

[laughs] Luckily, they'll probably have off till probably Wednesday, I would say.

Maybe, maybe, um...

I, I don't know what their schedule's gonna be, uh, obviously being a Thursday night game.

But man, they gotta do something, or they've gotta...

You know, and when I talk to the Cowboys too, they're like, "Hey, we're not worried about defense.

What are things like right now in Philadelphia? This seems like this week just came out of nowhere.

[laughs]

He's like, "He absolutely has, has bought it." But he said, "What you gotta remember," he's like, "Jay, this guy's been through so much, and he hasn't played a lot.

And, you know, it's hard to just expect from him, 'Oh, he's gonna pick up right where he was when he was with the Texans.'" And he goes, "It's, it's, um...

You know, it's not...

It's, it's a real hard thing to, to expect, you know? And there's still things that he was, like, unsure of." And, and then again, I know Todd is, like, working on that with him, working on his confidence and things like that.

So I think...

You know, he said recently, well, he's, he's still a young quarterback developing.

[laughs]

Never give up.

Absolutely never give up.

You know, and look, they got a, they got a head coach in there who's authentic, right? Man, love what he does.

Um, which that town, that, that whole town is about authenticity, right? Like, man, you can't fake in that town.

Um, and it was interesting because I was talking about...

I was talking the other morning about Deshaun Watson, and I was like, "Hey, did Deshaun, you know, buy himself time with that last game?" And he's like, "Oh, yeah, he bought himself a lot of time, as long as he doesn't do things like, you know, get in fights with the fans and things like that," right? He's like, "He absolutely is, is bought a..." He said, "What you gotta remember," he's like, "Jay, this guy's been through so much, and he hasn't played a lot.

And, you know, it's hard to just expect from him, oh, he's gonna pick up right where he was when he was with the Texans." And he goes, "It's, it's, um, you know, it's not...

[laughs]

Wow, Jay, what do you take away from tonight?

Well, you know, here's the problem with the Packers, man.

It's kind of hard.

They don't have their star on offense, Josh Jacobs.

They certainly don't have their star on defense, right, who's Micah Parsons.

They're losing one of the receivers who, you know, we're certainly hoping that he's, you know, going to have a good recovery here and reach what happened last week.

when he got, you know, obviously a serious back injury or neck injury, but also just, you know, offensive line was bad, you know, really, really bad offensive lines.

like,

¿Quién es el maltratador?

La depresión, la ansiedad, esos compañeros de habitación en mi cabeza que me dicen cosas que no son ciertas.

Y como dije, sé que lógicamente no es verdad.

Lo sé.

Y he tenido que construir este personaje en la televisión todos estos años para ocultarlo.

Así que todos mis amigos dicen que Glazer está loco y eso es una insignia de honor que tienen en el fútbol y la lucha en esos mundos.

Pero nunca supieron cuánto dolor sufrí hasta ahora.

¿Estabas en la televisión o qué?

You know, really, really-

really-Bad offensive line.

Um, and he, he's really doesn't have a lot to work with out there, uh, except for the quarterback, who I actually really do believe in that quarterback, but they just don't have a lot to work with.

And you know what Matt LaFleur needs to do somehow, [coughs] is say, "Guys, all you guys, eventually guys will recover.

Okay? We gotta find out..." I remember having this talk with another coach a couple years ago.

"Hey, guys are gonna come back from injury.

We wanna find out which one of you guys wanna step up and be that fighter right now, so when they come back, we're ready to rock and roll." They're gonna see who caves and who doesn't.

... "the advantage of playing against a team that's really struggling"?

They certainly don't have their star on defense, right, who's Micah Parsons.

Parsons.Um, they're losing one of the receivers who, who, you know, hope...

Well, we're certainly hoping that he's, you know, gonna, gonna have a good recovery here and really what happened last week, um, when he got, you know, obviously a, a serious back injury or neck injury.

Um, but also just, you know, offensive line was bad.

You know, really, really bad offensive line.

Um, and he- he's really doesn't have a lot to work with out there, uh, except for the quarterback, who I actually really do believe in that quarterback, but they just don't have a lot to work with.

And you know what Matt LaFleur needs to do somehow, [coughs] is say, "Guys, all you guys, eventually cavalry's coming.

the advantage of playing against a team that's really struggling?

What do you take away from tonight?

Well, you know, here's the problem with the Packers, man.

like, he

I'm going, why don't more guys do that? Why is Mahomes the first guy to do that? Hey,

I can't tell you how many teams I've talked to.

And, like, somebody goes down with an ACL, and I'll say, hey, why don't you guys do what Mahomes did? Mahomes went down, shooed out immediately to Dallas.

But I get it done by John Cooper.

I think they cut him on Tuesday, got hurt on Sunday, cut him Tuesday, was back rehabbing Wednesday, had his knee was bent 90 degrees by Friday, that first week, right? And when I've said this to some teams, a couple of them have been like, yeah, we – It's just not what we do.

And I'm like, why not? Why not? They're like, we just don't do that.

But if Patrick Mahomes doesn't, why would you do it? You know, like, and then I will say this too.

Are you buying the Giants after week one? I mean, I know Strahan's calling you every five minutes saying, hey, Jay, are you buying the Giants after the first game?

I'm going, why don't more guys do that? Why is Mahomes the first guy to do that? Hey,

I can't tell you how many teams I've talked to.

And like somebody goes out with ACL and I'll say, Hey, why don't you have to do it? My home's it.

My home's going down, slew down immediately to Dallas, but get it done by John Cooper.

I think they caught him on Tuesday, got hurt on Sunday, come Tuesday, was back rehabbing Wednesday, had his, his knee was bent 90 degrees by Friday, that first week.

And when I've said this to some teams, a couple of them be like, yeah, we, we, It's just not what we do.

And I'm like, why not? Why not? They're like, we just don't do that.

Are you buying the Giants after week one? I mean, I know Strahan's calling you every five minutes saying, hey, Jay, are you buying the Giants after the first game?

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?

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

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.
