00:00So Jalen Ramsey was on the pivot with Channing Crowder,
00:04Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor.
00:07And he kind of opened up about the trade
00:13and how the whole trade went down with the Dolphins.
00:17And this is what he had to say on the whole situation,
00:21on how the trade went down.
00:22It was in the works for a little minute, I would say.
00:26So you knew something else.
00:27It was in the works, but things had to get put together the right way.
00:33Things had to come together from my standpoint to the Dolphins, to the Steelers.
00:38I think all of us had to come to a, I guess you could say agreement.
00:42We all had to come to a consensus on what it would be.
00:46I do appreciate the Dolphins and them working with me and David,
00:51not just, hey, this team called and we're going to send you here and this and that.
00:56It wasn't any of that.
00:58It was very open communication with, yo, this is, you know, y'all been good to us.
01:04I've been good to y'all.
01:05Like, let's do it the right way.
01:07Let's go to a team that's going to be able to compete.
01:10Let's go to a team where there's a lot of respect for the head coach in there
01:13and, you know, the staff, a place where I can continue developing,
01:18playing at a high level, maybe be versatile.
01:20And then, you know, I had to let David do his thing, too.
01:25You know, the money was involved, so he did his thing with that.
01:29And then, you know, obviously the Steelers, you know, they really wanted me here.
01:34And, you know, at the end of the day, I wanted to be here as well.
01:36So I just let the, it got to a certain point where I was like,
01:40everything is good on my end.
01:41Let's get the business handled.
01:43Y'all do that part.
01:44And y'all let me know when this will go.
01:46So that kind of took a little, a little minute to get done.
01:49But once that got done, it was, it was like, let's go.
01:54There you go.
01:55That was Jalen Ramsey on the pivot.
01:57Your reaction.
01:58Okay.
02:04I was cool with everything.
02:08But then he threw something out there that would indicate the real reason
02:14why he wanted to be out.
02:16Of Miami in the first place.
02:19So while we sitting here talking about all these nice things and cute and
02:24yeah, respectful and all that.
02:27Why did you have to say, yeah, I want to go somewhere where they respect their
02:31coach.
02:33Right.
02:34The head coach.
02:35Yeah.
02:35Which everybody does respect Mike Tomlin.
02:37Oh, but, but that's not okay.
02:39I get that.
02:40But that's not a dig on Mike McDaniel and why the original situation presented
02:48itself.
02:49It's a pot shot.
02:50Okay.
02:50Okay.
02:50It's a pot.
02:51And the way you know me, I'm the one that always call you off of these things.
02:56I, I honestly, I, I saw, and I know a lot of people noticed it and I, I'm sure it is a
03:02pot shot.
03:02I honestly didn't think I thought for Jalen Ramsey, I thought that was like, that was,
03:06that was shadow boxing.
03:07That wasn't even sparring.
03:08Well, that's because you followed his whole career, you know, and he said some crazy things,
03:14but if everything was Kumbaya and worked on together and, and everything, you didn't
03:22have to throw that out there.
03:24It didn't have to, but in the midst of a, you know, I, I also think he could have, he
03:29could have dove off the deep end if he wanted to, I actually kind of was hoping that he would,
03:33I would, cause I want more insight onto what happened.
03:35You know, like I, you knew what happened.
03:39I don't know.
03:41I mean, Tyree Gill's still here.
03:42Wait, think about it though.
03:46All of the, the, the talk before he got traded as to why he didn't want to be here was centered
03:55around that.
03:56That's what we were hearing.
03:58No, no, we were.
03:59Yeah.
03:59That was reported that him and Mike McDaniel had had a falling out.
04:02Or what he didn't want to be somewhere where they didn't respect the coach.
04:07Well, yeah.
04:08I mean, he wanted to be so like, obviously the, whatever respect that was there, which
04:13seemed publicly for a while, like it was strong, uh, obviously was irreparably broken.
04:19And so I don't know.
04:22I, and I, that's what I'm fascinated by.
04:24It was like, why, why is it that this guy got to a point where the dolphins had to get
04:31him off the team?
04:33That's what I'm wondering.
04:34Cause Tyree Gill's still here and they didn't feel that way with Tyree.
04:38So, so, so somebody just pointed out and I will throw this out there that maybe he had
04:51a problem with the way they handled the Tyree situation and he thought, how are we going
05:00to ever turn this around if guys can just go and do whatever?
05:07I mean, I don't, I don't know.
05:09Like it, it, it all seemed less, let's just put it this way.
05:13All this seemed to start happening after the Tyree Hill situation and how they handled that.
05:20But then all of a sudden off the top rope, uh, Ramsey's like, I'm on out.
05:26I'm like, I'm out.
05:27Peace.
05:27Go ahead, Brittany.
05:28But I don't think that Jalen Ramsey's like has a very high moral compass.
05:32Like, I don't think he has a very high moral ground.
05:34Like we know what he's done in his past career.
05:37And like, well, that was interesting.
05:39Cause it was actually the second part.
05:41There was another part of the interview, which I'll play for you here from the pivot, which
05:44I actually felt, I actually had more of a problem with this than I did the shot at Mike
05:49McDaniel.
05:49Cause like, again, like, I'm not surprised he's going to throw a little wink shade at
05:56it, but this one to me was, uh, was even more interesting.
05:59Cause it's like, oh, well that's not great.
06:02Here was, uh, him on, you know, what, why he wanted to come to Miami.
06:07When, when I got traded from LA, I was like literally praying to go to Miami, like, and
06:13it was probably not for all the right reasons.
06:15Obviously football was has always, and will always be very important for me, but I also
06:22had other things in the back of my mind too.
06:24Like, yo, I want, I want to live in a good city.
06:27I want my kids to enjoy life and, you know, be in the sun, have pool year round.
06:32And this, I want my family to like coming to visit me and this and that it was other stuff
06:37that added on to that as well with this decision.
06:40I'm like, I, I, man, I promise you, I prayed to God completely different than I prayed like
06:47the last trade.
06:48I'll tell you what's the opposite from Pittsburgh and Miami when you pray for the wrong reasons.
06:56Uh, yeah.
06:59I don't know.
07:00Tell me why you have a problem with that.
07:01Cause I don't really see a problem with what he said.
07:03I don't see.
07:03I don't have a prop.
07:04I don't have a problem with it, but I do have a problem with, look, if all the things you
07:12say are true, then you're more inclined to make things work, right?
07:19But for him to all of a sudden end up in Pittsburgh and the reasons why he's in Pittsburgh have
07:24nothing to do with the reasons why he was in Miami, right?
07:27It's just, you're, you're just, you're just commenting so that you can make your decisions
07:36fit.
07:36And, and, and so like, once you say why you wanted to be in Miami, you can't then just
07:45flip the script a couple of years later and say, well, that's why I was cool.
07:51We're going to Pittsburgh because I wanted something totally different.
07:55Like you, you just, you're, you're the one that's confusing like the situation.
08:00Nobody else.
08:01Yeah.
08:02But I think the idea that like, even if you wanted to be in Miami, just cause of the glamor
08:05of Miami and you feel like you're motivated by the wrong reason.
08:09I don't feel like he's alone in that.
08:10I do feel like there's plenty of people who have used this place.
08:13Yeah.
08:13It's intriguing.
08:13Like you think of the no tax.
08:16Yeah.
08:16Like I'll stop.
08:17You think of the sun.
08:18You think of all the things.
08:19Yes.
08:20I fully 100% get that.
08:23Tyree kill basically said that when he came to Miami, that part of the, a lot of the reason
08:26why he wanted to come here was because of the tax.
08:29Yeah.
08:29The taxes.
08:31So just look outside.
08:32Yeah.
08:33Plenty of people are coming out.
08:34Like he, it wasn't like he was coming from Seattle.
08:37He was coming from LA.
08:39Right.
08:39So I, I, I feel like he's just saying, like, I agree with his narrative.
08:45Like he's just saying things because he wants it now to fit his narrative that he's in Pittsburgh.
08:49Right.
08:50He's trying to justify being in Pittsburgh now.
08:53Um, when the last two plays he was in was like beautiful.
08:57Yeah.
08:58Well, like the last, I think when, if you're really praying to God and he's like, if you
09:02want a place with no distractions and no Ashtron, boy, do I have the city for you?
09:11Jalen.
09:12He can go three hours West.
09:13Jalen, we're sending you to Pittsburgh.
09:20You got to play Jesus music.
09:22Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Ashtron.
09:30We're going to replace with steel workers.
09:32Oh, my, Ashtron, you listened to us last time.
09:36Welcome to the snow.
09:38Oh, man, nothing but snow and smog here and not just a bunch of thorns.
09:48You left the ocean for Lake Erie that freezes in the winter.
09:58Such angelic voices.
10:00You guys are great.
10:04Wait, that's all it took to get you on the screen?
10:08You know, I heard the holy music, so I had to come on.
10:13But you know what?
10:14I never thought about that.
10:18Right?
10:19I never thought because I was in Cleveland, then I went to Baltimore, then I went to Carolina,
10:25and I lived in an off season in Florida.
10:28So when Minnesota called, I'm like, I'm good.
10:31Chance to play.
10:33Right?
10:33I never thought about it because I had already played in Michigan, Cleveland.
10:38Right?
10:39So, like, it was just about playing.
10:43Well, I think that's the thing.
10:44It's like, if anything, Tobin, you should be happy that he's gone.
10:46You should be happy about what he said because his driving factor was never football.
10:50Well, I think it's not that I'm happy that he's gone, Brittany.
10:54I guess it's just discouraging.
10:55Like, when he says the Mike McDaniel stuff, it's like, yeah, I kind of knew it.
10:58Like, we knew.
10:59And I know he's going to have pot shots along the way.
11:01That's how it is.
11:02Jimmy Butler is going to have the same way with the heat.
11:05But I'm just like, oh, man.
11:06That's why you wanted to come to Miami probably for Ashton.
11:09Like, that's.
11:10Well, yeah.
11:10I mean, but it's Jalen Ramsey.
11:12Like, what did you think he was coming here?
11:14Because.
11:14I actually thought Jalen Ramsey was coming here.
11:16I mean, like, he did come off of a Super Bowl from the Rams.
11:18I was hoping there was going to be some focus on football.
11:21But I understand.
11:22It's a powerful beast down here to distract.
11:26By the way, I have a tweet here from Colton Pouncey.
11:31Who covers the Lions for the Athletic.
11:33He tweets.
11:35That was the most lopsided joint practice I've ever seen.
11:39Lions dominated both sides.
11:42To which Barry Jackson comment tweets.
11:45Discouraging.
11:46Yeah.
11:48That's not great.
11:51I mean.
11:52As.
11:53That's.
11:54You need.
11:55You need to.
11:56And so today.
11:57When they have meetings before practice tomorrow.
12:00That's going to be addressed.
12:02Simple as that.
12:03Mike.
12:03Who also covers the Lions goes.
12:06Either the Dolphins are really bad.
12:07Or the Lions are just a juggernaut.
12:09Not a great day for Miami.
12:13Barry Jackson then goes.
12:15Multiple Lions beat reporters were mortified by Miami.
12:18Sigh.
12:20Not in a good way.
12:22Not in a good way, dude.
12:23I think the sigh means no.
12:27But like I said.
12:30Until you actually have to deal with it.
12:33You won't know how to handle it.
12:35And I.
12:36I'm willing to bet.
12:38That in these meetings later.
12:41Right.
12:42They are all going to be challenged.
12:44They're all going to be called soft.
12:47And they're all going to be asked to respond.
12:51And that's what.
12:52That's what this is for.
12:53This is the exact reason why you practice against Detroit.
12:58Keep in mind.
12:59Detroit been playing this way for three years.
13:02You've been playing this way for a week and a half.
13:05So.
13:07Like.
13:07Yeah.
13:08It's going to look a little crazy.
13:09But I'm not discouraged.
13:11What is more important to me is.
13:14Let's watch these tweets tomorrow.
13:18And see if these coaches get after these players and say.
13:21We going out like this.
13:23You going out like this.
13:26The mantra is you've been soft for the last three years.
13:29You finally play a team that has some stones.
13:32And you curl up and cry in the corner.
13:34Let's go.
13:36And see how the guys respond.
13:38This is what this is for.
13:41Nolan Bianchi.
13:42Who covers the lines for the Detroit News says.
13:45Jamison Williams.
13:47Lions receiver.
13:48And Ifatu Malafonwu.
13:50Just got into a post-practice dust-up.
13:54Too late.
13:55Too late for that.
13:56Fight during the game.
13:59Don't go meet somebody after the locker room.
14:01After you know already got your ass kicked.
14:03Too late.
14:05That's reality of it.
14:08Like.
14:08There's nothing.
14:09But you have a problem with somebody.
14:10Who want to fight after the game.
14:12Tua is speaking to the media.
14:16He was asked.
14:18It was from Travis Wingfield's Twitter.
14:19Tua's asked.
14:20How do you move on from a tough practice?
14:22He said.
14:22Quote.
14:23You don't.
14:24You face it head on.
14:25Yeah.
14:27Like.
14:27You show all that film.
14:29Show all that film.
14:30Hey.
14:31What part of this is us being tougher?
14:35Put it on the players.
14:36Listen.
14:38They've all.
14:39Listen.
14:40Contrary to popular belief.
14:41All these damn football players on the Miami Dolphins have played physical football before.
14:46Stop acting as if this is the first introduction they've had to it.
14:51Now maybe they've gotten a little careless.
14:53Because of the style of football they've played the last couple of years.
14:58So challenge them.
15:00Challenge them to be more physical and to fight like hell.
15:05And to compete like hell.
15:07Because guess what?
15:08When Dan Campbell first got to Detroit.
15:14The only thing he talked about is how they were going to compete.
15:19Right?
15:20So yes.
15:22You got beat up.
15:24You got bruised.
15:26This is no different than a football game.
15:28I've seen teams get dominated in the first half.
15:30And then go in at halftime.
15:32Lick their wounds.
15:33And come out.
15:33And it's a different game.
15:35You got time to respond.
15:36This is what this is for.
15:39If you want to be a physical team.
15:42Then there's no greater test than playing one of the most physical teams in the league.
15:47You go out there.
15:49And you respond.
15:50So it'll be interesting what these meetings will be like tonight.
15:54As they watch this film getting pushed around as grown ass men.
16:00And then the coaches will challenge them.
16:03Call them out.
16:04Right?
16:04And say, what is your response?
16:08And that'll be an indication.
16:09One ass, cheek, and three toes.
16:11I will beat your ass.
16:12That's it.
16:13Right?
16:14That's it.
16:15But here's the deal.
16:19You'll know after tomorrow's practice whether this team will be tough or not.
16:23Because you'll hear one thing.
16:25And one thing only from Mike McDain.
16:27We got pushed around the first day.
16:28I like the way our guys responded on day two.
16:31That's it.
16:32This is what this is for.
16:35So, good.
16:37I'm glad that everybody's looking at him like, oh, yeah.
16:41It's one thing to talk about being tough.
16:44It's another thing to be tough after you got punched in the mouth.
16:47So we'll see.
16:49Don't lose.
16:50It's another thing to be tough.
16:51It's another thing to be tough.
16:51It's another thing to be tough.
16:52It's another thing to be tough.
16:52It's another thing to be tough.
16:53It's another thing to be tough.
16:53It's another thing to be tough.
16:54It's another thing to be tough.
16:55It's another thing to be tough.
16:55It's another thing to be tough.
16:56It's another thing to be tough.
16:56It's another thing to be tough.
16:57It's another thing to be tough.
16:57It's another thing to be tough.
16:58It's another thing to be tough.
16:59It's another thing to be tough.
17:00It's another thing to be tough.
17:01It's another thing to be tough.
17:02It's another thing to be tough.
17:03It's another thing to be tough.
17:04It's another thing to be tough.
