You know that. Christopher McCaffrey had the fan vote. You know when the votes came out? Yeah.

22:32But B.

22:33Shannon Sharpe:John, he looked good today. Well, he looked good all the time. Just today. And the thing that's working in Gibbs' favor is Gibbs got yards and touchdowns. He'll score a machine. Ocho, Titans not garnement you out of the game. In the 11-game home skid, beating the Chiefs 26-9. The Titans improved to 3-12, 1-7 at home this season, entering a skid that matched the franchise's worst since moving to Tennessee in 1997. They lost 11 straight in 2014 and 15, a stretch that also featured Coach fired early in the second season and finished with an intern. Sunday was the first home win since November 3rd of 2024.

29:12Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, Chris Olave had two touchdowns and Smythe's five field goals helped the Saints top the Jets. 29-6 for the third straight win. Alave said he contemplated retiring from football last season after sustaining several concussions. Alave missed the final eight games of the 2024 season after he was transported back to Bank of America Stadium on a backboard following a hit to the head against the Panthers that put him on concussion protocol for the second time in three weeks. It was the fourth known concussion of his NFL career. Alave said it was a tough time last year. I'm only 24 years of old, 24 years of age, and contemplating retirement, especially with my head injuries.

29:51Shannon Sharpe:But I prayed about it. My fam, my close fam was around me. They stuck by my side, and I give it another try, another chance, and it's been a great year. Olave has 1 ,044 receiving yards through 15 games this season. Hey, what are you going to say? No, I was saying, Ocho, it's tough, man. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Listen, those concussions, they can do something to you now. It can do something to you because you want to be out there playing. You want to be out there performing, you know. But obviously, today is what we know what Chris Olave could do. He did it at Ohio State. So for me, it feels good to see him have a game like today because I know he can do it.

30:37And when you have games like this, it does something to your confidence. It has you hungry for more and you start believing in yourself. Well, hell, okay, I can do it. Have concussion after concussion. I'm injured. I'm missing time. But when you go out there and you put together a performance like this, damn, damn, I had 10 catches. Damn, I had two touchdowns. Damn, I had 148 yards. Well, maybe I can do it.

31:02Shannon Sharpe:Well, we saw what he did his rookie year, Ojo. Yeah. Mm-hmm. So we know he can do it. Oh, yeah. Look, I was close to somebody. My brother was forced to retire at 29. Yes, sir. He had to catch 18 touchdowns in the season. At 29 and never step foot on the field again. Yeah, that's tough. You know, I was dealing with ankle injuries, and I was like, damn. Man, injuries suck. It's hard to go out there and play Ocho, and I'm having to shoot up. I can't practice. and you're having off-season surgery, so you're rehabbing just to give yourself a chance. And it's like, man, come on, man. I know I didn't work all my life to get in this position, and now I was like, oh, my God.

31:46Shannon Sharpe:I can just imagine because the ankles are nothing compared to concussion because we know what that could potentially lead to, especially now, later on in life. Man, I'm so glad this young man was able to, I pray that he's able to continue to play at the level in which he's playing at. Yes, sir. Ocho, Tyler Shook been dealing. Hey. 32 of 49, 3-0-8, a touchdown. Chris Olabe had 10 for a buck, 48-2. Jawan Johnson had 8 for 89. Taysom Hill had 4 for 46. He dealing. Yeah, he was. He dealing. Hey. Hey. He was up there shucking and jibbing. the first time they put him in. But, hey, they might have found their guy.

32:36You think so?

32:37Shannon Sharpe:They might have found their guy. Hey, I promise you they're not taking another quarterback. Because the thing is, once they, look, they had Spencer Rattler. Yes, sir. I think they took Shook in the second round, right? I think they took him in the second round, Ocho. Okay. Based on the way he's played. Right. Especially these last, think about Ocho, come from behind, win, beat Carolina. You saw what he did today.

33:05Shannon Sharpe:He's showing you. Let him get all the reps. Let him take all the reps. Let's give him a couple more. Let's see if we can add some pieces around him. Let's improve the offensive line. Man, they sacked Cook eight times yesterday. Cam Jordan, man, Cam Jordan still playing. He had two sacks, three times for losses. Oh, damn. Chase Young had a sack. Chase Young has found new life. Mm-hmm.

33:38Shannon Sharpe:But no, Tyler Shook has played – he's played phenomenal, man. Yeah, he's playing well. He's playing really well. Mm-hmm. But listen, he's playing well. I'm not sure if Saints fans would really consider him as the quarterback of the future. I just – I don't think so. You think they're going to take a quarterback this year? Yeah, listen, I mean, he played well sparingly in games. I just don't think he's the answer for them long term. Ocho, boy, you keep on thinking everybody go find a Patrick Ball. I'm sorry, Joe Burrow. Well, listen, I mean, are you trying to compete or not? I mean, are you trying to compete or not?

34:19You know, having a string of two or three games ain't enough to say, okay, this is our guy. It's just not. I'm curious.

34:28Shannon Sharpe:Look, I think he comes – I think if he finishes out this year strong. If they take a quarterback, maybe they take one round five or six. I don't think they take one early. I think now they look for put pieces around him. Oh, sure, they need a running back. They need a running back. Which comes on Alvin Kamara. Yeah. so I think they look for a running back I see maybe they go get a corner

35:05Shannon Sharpe:because the D I B you know what you call him is still playing Cam Jordan is still Cam Jordan how many sacks Cam Jordan got Cam Jordan probably gonna make the pro bowl Chase Young has found life in New Orleans

35:21I just knew

35:22Shannon Sharpe:So I just, Chase Young is what I, Miles Garrett is what I thought Chase Young was going to be also. When he came out? Remember, he got hurt. That injury that they, Yeah, he tore his ACL, I think his second year. Yeah, that is just, that is the most demoralizing injury, and it changes everything. It changes everything for you. How many to chase?

35:54Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but Ocho, when you young like that, now he had that thing 30s, but he was probably like 22. Yeah, he was a baby. Man, you know, Ocho, man, you know you young, man. You bounce back different. You bounce back so damn quick. You like a damn ball. Yeah. One of them super balls. Ocho, you remember them hard balls they used to have that you bounce and you throw it on the thing and that thing damn near touch this guy? What kind of ball was that? yeah y 'all remember those balls I don't know was it a super ball but they were about this big around and they was man you throw that thing on the ground man that thing bounce so damn high it damn near be out of sight was it called a super ball?

36:39Shannon Sharpe:what was it called? might have been a bouncy ball I'm gonna have to look it up but congratulations Chris O 'Bloby for bouncing back after a very very tough season, contemplating retirement, but this is the way to, hey, this is the way to let you know you made the right decision. 10 for a buck, 48, two touchdowns, and now you're over 1 ,000 yards in the regular season. The Jets are the first team in NFL history to not have an interception in 15 consecutive games, Ocho, two more games, and they could possibly go an entire season with no interception. Has that ever happened before? No. Ocho, if they don't get an interception the next two games, they'll be the first time in the history.

37:27Of the NFL? That nobody's gotten, they haven't gotten an interception all season long?

37:35Shannon Sharpe:Not one. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, G, you scapegoat him a guy. Wills. Who that? They fired Steve Wills. Oh, Steve, oh, Mr. Wills. You traded his two best players, and you're surprised that you're getting the hell beat at you last week at Jacksonville. You see Jacksonville just put 34 points on a defense that's really, really good on the road. Yeah. And then you go, and then you score six. I mean, come on now. Yeah, you right. So you trade Quinny, and you trade Sauce, your two best players on defense, and you expect to get better how? Yeah, after, hey, hey, hey.

38:19you can hear that uh uh man them kids running crazy man it's 1.30 in the morning so

38:28Shannon Sharpe:I think at worst case scenario Tyler Shook bought him another he bought himself another year absolutely absolutely and obviously the Saints fans they're going to believe in him because he's playing well me as a receiver looking at the quarterback looking at knowing what it should look like having a franchise quarterback for the next decade. And you said it right. It's not your Joe Burrow. It's not your Josh Alley. It's not your Patrick Mahomes. But maybe he is just good enough where they can build around him and have success. Mm-hmm.

39:07Shannon Sharpe:J.J. McCarthy gets injured again, Ocho, but the Vikings had to judge their ninth loss in a row. Minnesota wins 16-13. McCarthy exited the game before halftime, and backup Max Brosmer helped the Vikings win their third game in a row. I mean, didn't Jay McCarthy get hurt in college?

39:32Shannon Sharpe:He missed his entire rookie season. He's been in and out of the lineup this year. I was surprised that they took him that high because he was a guy that didn't really throw the football when he was in college. They ran the football. they were running to you. Yeah, real. Michigan run the ball right down your throat.

39:53Shannon Sharpe:Damn. Watch out. Jackson Dart was 7 of 13 for 33 yards. Yeah. You didn't know that? I was able to I was able to watch this one. I was just I was trying to make sure JJ JJ got what? Why y 'all still up? Super Bowl. I thought so. Yeah. Hi. How you doing? What? Y 'all supposed to be in the bed. Santa Claus gonna bypass y 'all. Last time we stayed up till 3 a.m. yesterday. Yeah, Santa Claus. Santa Claus, he can't come by. He can't let y 'all see him. Y 'all stand up till 3 o 'clock. Santa Claus like, nah, I'm gonna bypass this house. You ready to go to bed? No, I'm not tired. No. What you playing, Roblox?

40:48Okay, say hi to the chat. Say hi chat. Hi chat. Hi chat. How y 'all doing? Good. All right. Stop jumping. Whoever, they're jumping. Stop jumping. Yeah. French fry. Stop jumping up and down.

41:10Boy.

41:15Shannon Sharpe:Boy, I know if a certain quarterback played an entire game and had a 7 or 13 for 33 yards. Right. You know they're going to give him grace, though, huh? You know they're going to give him grace because he a rookie. What the hell you think? Oh, I didn't even call his name.

41:37Shannon Sharpe:We're going to leave that alone. Leave it alone. Oh, man. They sacked him five times. They picked him off once. It was a bad day. It was a bad day for him over there. Jonathan Allen, former Washington commander, had a sack. Levi Drake Rodriguez had a sack. Van Ginkle had a sack. Wilson had a sack. Redmond had a sack. Van Grinkle. Were they ran? Look. They're going to have to figure this thing out. Minnesota needs a lot. Look, because as of right now, I don't know how we can count on J.J. McCarthy. He missed an entire year, and he's been in and out of the lineup in the second year.

42:28Shannon Sharpe:It's hard to build a team. It's hard to build a team. Hey, it's hard to build a team around a quarterback. You don't know when and if he's going to play.

42:41that's tough that's tough huh injuries happen burrow lamar i think but now pat i mean had josh allen had josh never been hurt he's always available huh yeah yeah and he and he he play he plays a little reckless too now yeah but he's built different though he's a big dude he's six

43:07Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he's a big dude. I mean, because think about it, Ocho. Cam didn't miss no games. He did? I mean, Cam missed that one game when he flipped his damn truck. Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah, did the day when he played. That's right. Yeah.

43:23Shannon Sharpe:So it wasn't until, I mean, early in his career, it wasn't until late in his career that he missed some games. I mean, I don't know what the Giants, they got to, look.

43:38Shannon Sharpe:they completed seven passes in the game, Mocho.

43:44Shannon Sharpe:Seven passes. And Wondell Robinson had three. The longest completion, the lead receiver had 19 yards. Damn. I mean, I forgot. Somebody just went crazy for the Giants not long ago. Didn't we have them on the show? Wondell Robinson. Yeah. Boy, he went snap ass off. And that's what I don't like. When you have a receiver have a game like that, you go back to the well. If you need water, you go back to the same well you did before. But wasn't it Jamison that he went crazy with? I mean, excuse me, Jamis? Wasn't it Jamis the quarterback that he went crazy with? Damn, that's a good one. I'm not sure. yeah Jackson Dart might have been out you know I think I don't remember 7 for 13 I guess when you're watching like 7 or 8 games you know you try to like okay what games should I be focusing on and you look up and you're like well damn incomplete again okay Giants putting the ball

45:05Shannon Sharpe:y 'all got your work cut out for you giants don't love fixing that hold on not only fixing that they still need a head coach what coaches want to go wants to go into that job understanding all the issues that need to be fixed I want to be a head coach no matter what and even knowing you probably got two or three years you might be fired again

45:31Shannon Sharpe:Texas extended their winning streak to seven thanks to a 23-21 victory over the Raiders CJ Stroud threw a touchdown pass Derrick Stingley returned an interception for a score and the Texans beat the Vegas Raiders and sent them to a ninth straight loss hey anybody have the Raiders on their schedule this year you might as well it's a W listen if it was week one it's different teams aren't into their own yet anything after week two week three and all you got the Raiders on your schedule it's a win Geno Mason plays Brock Bowers Geno was 16 of 23 23, 201, two touchdowns. It was on the sack. Aston Gentry ran the H out of the ball.

46:25Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. 24 for a buck, 28, one touchdown, long of 51. And then he had a pass, one catch, 60 yards, touchdown. Brock Bowers had another touchdown.

46:39They were putting points up today.

46:42Shannon Sharpe:CJ missed some easy throws. Nico Collins had four for 59. 59, Christian Kirk had three for 37, Schultz had five for 35. But it's that defense, man. They get after you. Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. and Barnett, they can get after you. And then you got that back end with Petrie and Stingley Jr. Lassiter. Mm-hmm. And that back end is really good. Really. Really good. Really good. Bullock. But look, the Raiders, they made it closer than what I thought. But I think now, hey, everybody trying to get the number one pick. It seems like, you know, reading the things, and everybody seemed to want Mendoza, the quarterback, out of IU Ocho.

47:32Shannon Sharpe:So, hey, it seemed like everybody tried to position themselves to get that number one pick. Get Mendoza? That's what it seems to be. Eh. The Raiders got two wins. How many wins do the Giants have? Four. Am I right or am I wrong? So who's in the running for the number one pick overall? The Giants and who? Excuse me, the Raiders and who? Okay, Giants and Raiders have two wins.

48:07Yeah, I ain't winning no more. I thought it was four.

48:10Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, I ain't winning no more. Nope. Nope. Well, hold on. As a player, I'm trying to win. Hey, that ain't got nothing to do with me because guess what? Ain't no guarantee that I'm going to be here when we get good. So I'm trying to win right now. I'm trying to increase my value. So, hey, if I'm not here, somebody's going to be like, okay, there's value in Shannon. Hold on. As a front office, I'm telling you how they're thinking. Right. I'm trying to get as high draft picked as I possibly can because I'm trying, to win for the future. This year's lost. Right. This year's gone. Now when you talk about that draft pick, now there are two teams that have two wins.

48:56And there are three

48:57Shannon Sharpe:teams that have three wins. Four teams that have three wins. So the Giants are not taking a quarterback? No. So is there any chance that the Raiders take a quarterback? Yes! Okay. Okay. Do you think there's a quarterback in the draft that's going to make a difference? That can do better than what they already have right now? I think they... Look. I'm just asking. They believe Mendoza is the guy.

49:31Shannon Sharpe:I'm just telling you, though. Okay. All right. I like it. I think the Cardinals... Look. I think the Cardinals will take a quarterback. Kyler Murray's not coming back you know that I know that yeah we understand that

49:50Shannon Sharpe:Tennessee's not taking a quarterback they have their quarterback oh wow they got the mock draft they got the Arville Reese linebacker Ohio State first overall the Raiders taking Mendoza second overall the Browns taking Dante Moore Third overall, Jets taking safety, Caleb Downs. Fourth overall, Spencer Fano, all tackle, Utah, Cardinals. Reuben Bain Jr., edge rusher, Miami, Tennessee. Nice. Jordan Tyson, wide receiver, Arizona State, Washington, the Commanders. Jeremiah Love, running back, Notre Dame, Saints. Francis Mowoga Mowga Moway that's Mowey yeah that's Mowuso Magawa yeah OT from University of Miami Ocho the Bengals Cardinal Tate wide receiver Ohio State where the Guppies the Miami okay so the way it's written up now the Raiders and the Browns taking a quarterback.

51:06Shannon Sharpe:Mendoza to the Raiders and Dante Moore to the Ducks.

51:18Shannon Sharpe:The Bills beat the Browns by the score of 23-20. Chidure has excelled when it comes to being a good teammate, at least in the public eye. After Cleveland's loss, Chidure was quick to defend his coaches and his team. Take a listen to this Ocho, what he had to say after the game, but he tried to catch him up again. Uh-huh. I like to see you. Go for it on. I know you can't be asking me that question, man. Come on, man. We can't see that. That's like the thing. Like, if we want to change, if we want to change the narrative, change the franchise, if we want to, like, help, we got to speak. Like, if you can't, those type of things is, like, separate us.

52:01like a lot a lot of the players like get these type of questions and then we we want to be working with y 'all we want to be proactive but like when you ask questions or when questions are asked to us players and it's like you pinning stuff against each other it's like come on now you know it's like it's like a thing in the locker room like you know we we're not gonna be able to talk to them for real we're not gonna be able to give them what they need like because that separates the team that don't that don't that don't that don't help anything it don't help anything in any situation, no matter how you answer it.

52:37I like that. Listen, the media is part of the problem. The media is part of the problem. Obviously, it's already been a circus over there, right? And the divisive. Divisive.

52:51Shannon Sharpe:Divisive. Yeah, divisive tactics and questioning that they're using, trying to trip Shadur up. And Shadur being media savvy, understanding not to answer those questions, understanding not to take that goddamn bait and to do what he's doing. You got to protect your teammates. You got to protect your coach. You got to protect your team in general, despite what they may think about you internally because you've heard it and you've seen it done to you, but still doing right by them because you understand that that's what you have to do. You know, you've been given a great opportunity and he's doing all the things right that he can to make sure he does the best he can, whether it be on the field, off the field, in the media, in the community.

53:37And I mean, shoot, I mean, that's all we can do is commit him on that. Now, this game, you're going to have to help me out on this one. This is the one game I wasn't able to see. The rest of them was playing in the stadium where I was. They had multiple TVs on for me so I could be up to par. This is the one game I wasn't able to see.

53:57Shannon Sharpe:Whew. Well, you didn't miss much. I mean, Shadour got off to a great start. They go right down the field, get a touchdown. They sniffed Fanny Jr. out of the back. I mean, he runs like a little shag route. Yes, sir. And scores on it. They go right down the field. I thought they did a great job of containing Josh Allen. Passing the ball, but they could not stop the run. James Cook. You went crazy, huh? Yeah, yeah. He was just... Shadour had two picks. He's going to have to do something because he gets a lot. I could see if he was a smallish guy like Bryce Young. Yes, sir. Shadour gets a lot of passes batted.

54:41Shannon Sharpe:He gets a lot of ball batted for a guy for his size. And so I think he had three balls batted today. He's going to have to fix that in the offseason. Maybe, you know, be able to change arm slots and things like that to be able to throw instead of throwing over because he has an over delivery. Right. And so that's something that he's going to have to work on this offseason. That'll give him something to work on. That last drive, I was like, man, you should do it. You do this, boy, you'll be goaded. Boy, that offensive line. Yeah. Man, I love tackle. He bad, huh? Man, I love tackle. Michael, he got, I think it was Epinesa or Rousseau.

55:22Shannon Sharpe:I'm talking about he just ran him over. It was that bad? I'm talking about he literally ran him over. So he caught him on his heels then, huh? No, he just ran him over. He hunkered down and everything. He's just like, whoop. Wait a minute. He anchored down and still got ran over? Got bulls right over the top of him. It was Rousseau. He got to get in the weight room. We got to work on that lower body. It's too late for that. He's been in the league far too long. He ain't gotten any stronger by now. He ain't going to get any stronger. Yeah. So with that being said, yeah, it wasn't a great performance.

56:00Shannon Sharpe:I mean, Juddkins ended up getting hurt. He didn't really have a whole lot of time. He had a whole lot of pressure. I mean, he got sacked twice. And he had two interceptions. Like I said, the ball got tipped. so he's going to have to do something about those tilt passes at the line of scrimmage.

56:24Shannon Sharpe:Watching, I was... At this point in time, Ocho, the only reason I'm watching Cleveland, honestly, because I want to see Miles Garrett break the sack record. He'll probably break it this week coming up, huh? I hope so. But see, everybody's putting two and three guys on him because guess what, Ocho? I don't want you to break it on me. Hey, guess who calling me right now? Who? It's T.O. Yeah, but they got to find a way to generate some offense on Joe. Hold on, T. Look.

57:03We busy. We working. Hey, we working. What's up? Hey, T, I'm going to hit you back. T, I'm on the show. Yeah.

57:16Shannon Sharpe:I mean, he was 20 or 29, 157, a touchdown, two picks, was sacked twice. He messed his pinky up. Yeah, I saw that on the replay. They kept showing that on the thing. Yeah, he messed his pinky up. And I don't know. I know he scrambled, and then he went down. So I don't know if somebody stepped on it. That's probably what it was, and it was on his throwing hand, isn't it? Yeah, I saw they put a little thing over it. That really don't bother you, obviously, especially when they come and throw on the ball. That ain't going to be in your way. Yeah, that pinky. I mean, let me ask you a question. How many quarterbacks have you ever seen with four fingers?

57:59Shannon Sharpe:None. Okay. All fingers are important. Now, obviously, I would think probably the thumb and the index finger are the most important. The most. Because you got to be able to grip the ball, and then the index finger is the last one that comes off the ball. Yes, sir. But, you know, I mean, I guess you could. Yeah, that pinky's just there for placement, huh? The pinky is just there for decoration, just holding the ball. That's it. Yeah. It's kind of hard to throw the ball if you can't hold it, isn't it? I mean, you got four hands, depending on the size of your hand. Now, if your hand's smaller, now you might need that pinky.

58:35But you ain't never seen no four-finger quarterback. Have you seen a four-finger receiver? Yeah, yeah. I've seen four-finger receivers before. Who? They ain't had no thumb. He ain't no receiver there. Nah, but he used to catch that ball now. We used to call him nine.

58:56Shannon Sharpe:You know why we call him nine? He only had nine fingers, but that's hard for me to believe that man could catch. Nah. Oh, yeah. He was smooth with it, too, huh? Yeah, he used to catch like this. How he'd catch like that? He ain't got no thumb. There was no thumb, so he used to stop the ball, he used these four right here. Man, ain't nobody catching no ball like that. Yeah, he was nice with it, bro.

59:22Shannon Sharpe:They got two games left. Who they got? The Steelers? Who else they got?

59:30Shannon Sharpe:Wait, who got the Steelers? Who the Browns play? Browns. Okay, okay. Oh, okay. Division game. Oh, they got y 'all. They got the Steelers and the Bengals, don't y 'all? Okay, okay. In that last game, I think they played us at home. Yeah.

59:49Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I definitely think it would be easier to play defense than offense. Obviously, JPP lost his finger in that accident, Ocho. Right. But it'd be hard for me to see a guy. I mean, maybe it'd be hard for you to be an offensive lineman with a no thumb, Ocho. Yeah, you won't be able to stab or grab. Mm-mm. You know, honestly, just to be honest with you, if you grew up with it, you'd be able to learn to adapt not having it. Now, to be playing already here and then it come up missing, now that would be a problem. That would be hard to adjust to. Probably, if you grew up without it, you're probably not even picking up to try to play the sport.

1:00:32Shannon Sharpe:Okay, that's a good one. You're probably going to need something, you know. I mean, maybe you probably could play baseball. because Greg Abbott, remember me? Oh, yeah, Shaquille. You remember Ocho? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. With the Seahawks. From the Seahawks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But he was a defensive player. Yeah. So he doesn't have to handle the ball. But you're not, in that situation, you can't play, you couldn't be an offensive player. Right. Miles Garrett inched closer to the single season sack record with a half a sack, giving him 22. With two games left, he's one sack away from breaking the record.

1:01:08Shannon Sharpe:held by Michael Strahan and TJ Watt. Quinshawn Junkins also dislocated ankle and fractured his fibula. Damn. Kevin Sopanski announced. Oh, he just came back from injury. Yeah. Jesus, man.

1:01:34It is.

1:01:35Shannon Sharpe:you think Miles get the record next week? Who do they play? Steelers or they play Steelers next week? Yeah, they play Steelers next week and they play us last. But he's going to get the record regardless. Matter of fact, I wouldn't use the word shatter the record, but he's going to get the record and probably put it somewhat out of reach. Put it somewhat out of reach. I would like to see him get 25. That's possible. That's possible. That's definitely possible. 25. I'd like to see him get 25, get the record. He's going to be defensive player of the year. I don't think it's any close with anybody else.

1:02:09Shannon Sharpe:No, not even close. You know, he's going to be a unanimous all-pro. I don't know who he'll have anyone else that's a unanimous all-pro, but he definitely will be one. He might be the only unanimous selection of all the slots. Right. Because when you look at it, I mean, there are a couple of receivers that have an unbelievable season. In Jigba, you got Puka, Chase has had, you know, Chase's, you know, even though they're not winning. I mean, his numbers are sensational. I think he's a couple of catches behind Puka. I think Puka got like, how many, Puka got what, 114? I think Puka got the lead now because McBride didn't have that many today.

1:02:57Shannon Sharpe:Chase got to have like 110 or 111.

1:03:07Shannon Sharpe:Chase has 110. Mm-hmm. What is a... McBride.

1:03:19109.

1:03:20Shannon Sharpe:109. So 114, 110, 109. Boy, boy, boy. Go come to A. Ocho, you know that's a big thing. They lead the league in receptions, Ocho. Hey, that's a nice thing to have on your resume. Yeah, it is. It is. Man, Puka. Hey, Puka about to get that Chase money. Yeah, absolutely.

1:03:47Shannon Sharpe:You think he going to reset the market? He got to. Ocho, Chase got that money two years ago. I can't just say, well, Chase got to. That was last year. That's what I'm saying. he got the money last year he played last year with that new contract okay so okay so Puga gonna reset it so Puga what 42 yeah I'm gonna need that I like it I'm gonna need that so you got some guys that you know like I said I think

1:04:27Shannon Sharpe:Miles Garrett would be the only only unanimous MVP all pro selection. Because receivers, you got a bunch of receivers. JSN, Puka, Chase, Amon Ra that are having phenomenal seasons. Pickens. Pickens went off again today. Yeah. Pickens got about 1 ,300 yards, Ocho. Oh yeah, he balling now. Yes.

1:04:56Shannon Sharpe:So we'll see.
