Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland discussed a wide variety of topics on the 'Breakin' House Rules' podcast hosted by NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe, but his commentary on Anthony Weaver stood out. The Dolphins defensive coordinator New Orleans Saints fans is a finalist in the team's head coaching search, and few know him better than his own star players.
Holland had exceptionally high praise for Weaver, and even went as far as to call him 'galvanizing,' saying a move to head coach would bring the best out of him. He was asked what he would say to people who are asking how Weaver would be as a head coach.
'I think Weav' would be a galvanizing individual as a head coach,' Holland began. 'I think he has the presence, the attitude, and the mindset to lead men. I think that's the biggest thing as a head coach is you have to be a leader of men, and I think Weav' has that through and through. Because he's a great defensive coordinator and I think he does a great job, but him standing in front of the whole room trying to bring everybody together and into one direction, I think that is like … He's the type of individual that needs to be in that position, I think that's where he'll thrive the most. So, 100%, I hope he gets a head coaching job, because it will definitely be fun to see the culture that he'll establish.'
This is a very positive review from one of the best young safeties in the game, who has had a chance to learn under Weaver and develop into a phenomenal player. Most players will give positive reviews one way or another, but saying your coach will thrive in a new position at head coach is something very few would be willing to commit to. It is a huge testament to Weaver's coaching style and his ability to, as Holland puts it, lead men.

Steelers' Pro Bowler trade buzz shot down by insider Ian Rapoport
Steelers trade buzz burns bright — but flames out just as fast. Insider Adam Schefter broke the news that the Dolphins and Steelers engaged in trade talks regarding Miami's Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith — and while it was surprising, insider Ian Rapoport believes it's unlikely anything more will come of it. Advertisement In a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rapoport was asked how real the trade news really was — and here's what he had to say: 'I think Jonnu Smith wants to make money,' Rapoport said. 'He is actually a part of what the Dolphins want to do. It feels to me that he wants more money and would like to stay [with the Dolphins]. I know he wants a lot — we'll see what [the Dolphins] end up doing.' Hopefully nothing more comes out of the trade speculation, as Steelers TEs Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington are underrated pieces of Pittsburgh's offense — and paying the soon-to-be 30-year-old Smith a massive extension makes zero sense for the Steel City brand of football.

Report: Steelers back to pursuing Dolphins Pro Bowl TE
The Steelers-Dolphins trade rollercoaster continues — as insider Adam Schefter has provided a surprising update regarding Miami's Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith. Earlier in the day, Schefter reported that the Steelers were unlikely to pursue a trade for Smith — but that stance has since changed, as the well-respected insider presented the following update on the situation: Advertisement "Back in it: the Steelers renewed conversations today with Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith, who is seeking a new contract. The trade between the Steelers and Dolphins is still alive, per source." Acquiring Smith is beginning to emulate that of the Steelers' pursuit of Brandon Aiyuk — which featured new and conflicting updates on a daily basis. If the Steelers pull off the blockbuster trade for Smith, it remains to be seen how his inclusion will impact TEs Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington's usage on offense.

Steelers' Connor Heyward dismisses Jonnu Smith trade rumors — questions his fit on offense
It's safe to say one Steelers tight end isn't thrilled by the recent Jonnu Smith trade rumors. Connor Heyward, who serves as a FB/TE hybrid for the Steelers, isn't sold on how well Smith fits the offense — as the Dolphins Pro Bowler would enter an already crowded TE room with Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington. Advertisement PennLive's Nick Farabaugh was caught up with Heyward — and the young Steeler explained why the trade rumors make little sense: "We all see it, but let's be honest. It would be complicated having him and Pat. They're kind of the same type of tight end,' Heyward said. 'They both got to have 100 balls a year thrown their way. You've seen that. We all have produced — me, Darnell, and Pat. If that was to happen, we'd welcome it, but at the same time, we know Pat's our guy right now." Heyward wasn't finished there, however, as he continued to tell Farabaugh that the Steel City runs through Freiermuth — and that the trade is unlikely to happen: "People aren't just saying Muth for no reason. Pat's here. If that was happening — and I don't think it's going to happen — but Pat's here." Advertisement Insider Adam Schefter recently reported that the Steelers were back in trade talks with the Dolphins regarding Smith — and if he were acquired by Pittsburgh, Heyward may have some explaining to do.
