James Harrison (0:00)

Matter of fact, man, let's go on over here to Cleveland, man. See what your Browns talking about.

SPEAKER_2 (0:05)

Yep.

James Harrison (0:07)

Your defensive end, Jared Verse, is not concerned about the teams three and one success get into their heads. He had this to say, Joe.

SPEAKER_3 (0:16)

I don't think so. I mean, you can see the energy change, we're a little bit of success, but it's not in the way of arrogance or cockiness. It's in the way of, all right, boom, we kind of made a little name. We kind of showed a little bit of what capable we were, but not many teams has been that three and one don't make the playoffs or three and one and end with three wins. Like it's not impressive to be three and one. We have to finish the whole season. Now we still got 13 more games to handle before we can even talk about how good we were.

James Harrison (0:42)

Joe, let me tell you what's happening over there, Joe.

Joe Haden (0:44)

Man, bruh, please don't.

James Harrison (0:47)

Why?

SPEAKER_3 (0:48)

Go ahead.

Joe Haden (0:48)

No, matter of fact, please tell me what you think is going on and I'm going to tell you what needs to be going on.

James Harrison (0:54)

So, please don't, please don't, Joe. Why you can't say, you can't even say.

Joe Haden (0:59)

Joe, listen, listen. Go ahead.

James Harrison (1:01)

This is what's going over there. He's trying to talk to you boys and keep y'all grounded in this moment because, you know, y'all looking ahead, you talking it right now, Joe.

Joe Haden (1:18)

I'm not, I'm not.

James Harrison (1:19)

We're number one. We're number one. Shut up, Joe. Let me talk. If you say another damn word.

Joe Haden (1:25)

Come on. All right. So when you, when you finish, I'm going to do a lot of talking.

James Harrison (1:28)

All right.

Joe Haden (1:28)

Go ahead. Go ahead, bro.

James Harrison (1:29)

Now listen, you said you wanted, you didn't, you said, no, no, no, James. Don't tell me. No, Deebo. Don't say it. I'm telling you what he's thinking now.

Joe Haden (1:36)

All right.

James Harrison (1:36)

So Joe, this is what's happening, Joe.

Joe Haden (1:38)

What's happening?

James Harrison (1:39)

This man is used to winning.

Joe Haden (1:41)

Yep.

James Harrison (1:42)

So a three in one start for him. And just another day, another walk in the park, Joe.

Joe Haden (1:47)

Yes.

James Harrison (1:47)

For the rest of you guys, you're guys there.

They're not used to this. And see, when they're not used to this, they walking around and they talking and they hearing people talking good about them and they feeling good about themselves. So now they start patting themselves on the back. Like you last week, when you had the helmet on, you had the gloves on. Hey man, hey this and that. Got the jersey on, all that bullshit. Okay. Hey, all this, we the best, DJ Khaled, we the best.

Joe Haden (2:17)

I didn't say we the best.

SPEAKER_3 (2:19)

I didn't say that.

James Harrison (2:20)

He's seeing all that. Because I heard y'all got a parade going on for the first quarter of the season already.

Joe Haden (2:25)

No, we don't.

James Harrison (2:27)

That's what I'm, that's that and I'm telling you that's what he's doing.

SPEAKER_3 (2:29)

I'm letting you talk.

James Harrison (2:31)

Let me jump out here in front of all these people and say, hey, we did a damn thing. While y'all over there slapping yourself on the back, okay, rubbing yourself all over.

All right. We did nothing. We got 13 games left. We can mess around and end up three and four, three and 14

Joe Haden (2:51)

Yes.

James Harrison (2:52)

Yes. That's what he's trying to tell y'all because y'all over there making like y'all done already won the Super Bowl. The season's over with.

Joe Haden (2:59)

No, it's not. No, it's not. No, it's not. Deebo, okay. Okay. Okay. I let you go.

I let you go. I let you go. Jared Verse, thank you so much because this is what I'm trying to tell you. The NFL, like the Dallas Cowboys, just saw they playing 0-4 Tampa Bay any given Sunday. We could easily be 0-4 as we are 3-1 because we won the games, like you said, Deebo, by three points, by three points, by three. We're not blowing nobody out. The NFL is so-

James Harrison (3:33)

That's crazy. You weren't talking like that.

Joe Haden (3:34)

No, no, no. Let me talk. Be quiet. Everybody's teams are even. There's going to be about five plays that somebody either missed a block or you could have tipped picked.
