Deebo & Joe Part 2: What's Going on with Myles Garrett? + NFL Top 100 reaction

**James Harrison** (0:00)
And actually, it looks like it may be, it may be a situation going on over here. I guess my man Myles Garrett, they say he ain't practiced with 3AM since August 5th. They got a doctor, I guess somebody talked to a doctor, Jesse Moore, I guess he speculated that it could possibly be, I think it was arthritis was one.
I think it was just some swelling of wear and tear, whatever, and then he said the big one, the niscus.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:37)
Joe.

**Joe Haden** (0:38)
Possibly.

**James Harrison** (0:39)
Everything is possibly, but we are on August 5th to the 4th right now. That's almost a month. They saying the man ain't practicing with the Rams in almost a month, Joe.
Is it cause for worry here?

**Joe Haden** (0:57)
If you out for a month, it's always a little bit of cause. That's never a good sign when you missing this much practice. You know what I'm saying? When this is the time when you getting ready for the season, you know what I'm saying? So with Myles, he's been so great for so long and he's been in the league for a long time. He's coming off 23 sacks. I think they're being a little more cautious and just trying to make sure that this is long as we want him to be ready for the long term. We feel like our team is solid. We don't want to have to rush Myles back. We want Myles Garrett at 100%.
So I think that they're doing the right thing of just trying to be patient with him. But like missing time like this right now, right before the season starts is never a good sign.

**James Harrison** (1:40)
Joe, how many people you know go a whole month without participating with your team before the season starts? If anything, it's usually that time that leading up to before you get to camp that you may chill in the OTAs and the team at all the other stuff right there. But once you get into that training camp part, you start ramping up.
Like this supposed to be the ramp up. Like I don't think this is somebody you want out there and not have that ramp up, especially with a number of plays that, you know, he plays on a consistent basis week in and week out. That's not something he's just going to be able to go and jump right into. And you got AD coming back, and AD, that's not something AD will be able to just ready and, you know, go jump right into. And that's not something you want to jump out there and be like, you know, I know I'm going to be Superman and just force it and make it.
You can't do that either because you're setting your body up, you know, for one of those soft tissue injuries. And I hope that don't happen. I hope you don't go out there and play, you know, 60, 70 plays and pull a hammie and be out six weeks and then come back and then maybe pull it again, another six and miss 12 And then both, you know, both guys be out 12 weeks and then they're going to spend all that money and they don't get accomplished. What the goal was was just to win a championship because that's the only reason that AD came back was because he said they had a complete team already. And he's just come there and, you know, so anything less than a Super Bowl victory by Los Angeles Rams, health or no health is a failure.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:28)
Did you say health or no health?

**James Harrison** (3:29)
Health or no health is a failure. I don't think we win.
I don't think they, I say we, I'm speaking as a GM.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:37)
I'm speaking as a GM here.

**James Harrison** (3:39)
I don't think we went out there and spent all this night to come up short of anything less than a Lombardi after we just came up just a little bit short last year.
And, you know, I hope this is not a situation where they don't even make the playoffs. I hope it's not. What do you think Joe?

**SPEAKER_5** (3:56)
Oh, you, Wilder.

**Joe Haden** (3:58)
I think that they're being smart. I think that they're being smart, taking their time. And I think Myles, like you said all, you're exactly right, Deebo. But I think that with the Rams team, they know the long, they know the main term goal. Matthew Stafford's healthy, offense is going to be healthy, the woman in Aaron Donald, they have a loaded team. These are just additional parts. So Trent McDuffie, Jalen Warren, they still got their corners. So their team is still going to be solid. I'm with you. It doesn't look, obviously, when your best player that you just gave all the stuff for to come over to your team. That's the joke.
